Market people already knew EWINT's overseas property development will only see the revenue and profit upon the completion of the properties. In other words, it is known that the profit will come only in later part of 2018 and 2019. Otherwise, how can a property company which made loss in past 6 quarters consecutively can still sell at 0.93 P/BV.
Comparing with Tambun which made profit in past several years and sellig at merely 0.63 P/BV and ~PE5, EWINT is not cheap relatively. Even when EWInt registers good profit in subsequent quarters from its completed overseas project, that only justify its current price at 0.93 P/BV..I don't think there will be a huge jump in its stock price when people see EWInt turns from loss to gain in subsequent quarters bcos that is within expectation.
Come on guys. Icon is writing this on a short/mid term trading perspective. Nobody is asking you to hold this counter long term. Heck, nobody in i3 holds long term. One off or not, people will be flocking into this counter when they see explosive profit. Timing is key in this play.
Ecoworld has one of the best management around. No doubt about that. They should grow. But the runway is longer than most think.
In property development, the way to make money is to buy land from a long time ago, and when the land prices appreciate, you develope, making money on both the house and the land.
I don't think ecoworld really has that land earnings for now.
If you look at their roe for ecoworld. It's barely above fd. But over time, they should grow to be pretty good.
This book is the result of the author's many years of experience and observation throughout his 26 years in the stockbroking industry. It was written for general public to learn to invest based on facts and not on fantasies or hearsay....

I would prefer to gain exposure to EWI by owning Eco World Berhad
