In the second half of 2024, the Group targets to launch 4 projects (including new phases of existing projects) with a projected GDV of RM0.7 billion. Greenwoods Salak Perdana Senna(semi-detached cluster townhouses in Sepang) is expected to be launched in the third quarter of 2024. Along with the sizable launches in 2Q2024 and the completion of the commercial components of Atwater development in Petaling Jaya, the Group is optimistic that sales will gain traction in the second half of the year, which is expected to contribute positively to the Group's financial performance.
The Group's unbilled sales of RM1.4 billion as at 30 June 2024 will provide some visibility on the Group's cash flow in the near term. However, the pace at which this can be converted into billings would depend largely on the construction progress of projects. As at 30 June 2024, the Group's undeveloped land stood at 416.9 acres.
The favourable outlook of the Malaysian economy coupled with the catalytic initiatives taken by the government to spur investments are conducive for the property market. Nevertheless, the implementation of subsidy rationalisation could further weigh on consumer spending and thus the performance of the Malaysian property sector.
The Malaysian economy advanced by 5.9% in the second quarter of 2024 (1Q 2024: 4.2%). The growth is driven by stronger domestic demand and further expansion in exports. Household spending increased amid sustained positive labour market conditions and larger policy support.
Growth of the Malaysian economy in the second half of the year is expected to be driven mainly by firm expansions in investment activity and resilient household spending, with larger support from exports recovery. Investment activities will be supported by continued implementation of multi-year projects in both the private and public sectors and augmented by the implementation of catalytic initiatives under the national master plans, as well as the higher realisation of approved investments.

The Group's PBT for 2Q2024 was 115% higher at RM36.6 million, compared to RM17.0 million recorded in the immediate preceding quarter, driven by the improvement in the property segment. The improvement was mainly due to higher work progress and sales achieved in the second quarter of 2024
Need to take note for Q3 result will include special dividend amounting rm 16 million received from Ecoworld International. Ashwood was launched in May and Atera Phase 2 was launched in Jun 2024. Unbilled sales amount to 1.4 billion as per 30 Jun 2024.
Paramount is a safe bet. 1st interim dividend 3 sen, 2nd interim dividend 4 sen. Profit can only grow bigger due to more new launches and higher progress billing.
Property developers are having record profit since last property boom. Paramount is riding this wave very well with 1.4 billion unbilled sales. Most of its properties are at the middle of ogive graph and give rise to highest sales to revenue conversion rate.
Paramount is due to announce its latest QR by 25 Nov. Stay tune.
The Group's unbilled sales of RM1.5 billion as at 30 September 2024 will provide some visibility on the Group's cashflow in the near term. However, the pace at which this can be converted into billings would depend largely on the construction progress of projects.
2.45 million one off loss is due to call-option exercised by UOW purchaser.
if they can offer 4ct final div in Feb 2025 (which is possible, since there gonna be some income from ewint), then it will be a total of 10 ct for the year 2024.
Typically, Q4 reports show the highest revenue. If the revenue surpasses the 2023 Q4 results, I anticipate another interim dividend of at least 0.01 cent, resulting in a 5.6% dividend yield (RM0.07) at a share price of RM1.06. This company consistently provides dividends, supported by strong business performance and substantial revenue. The dividend is sustainable due to this year’s robust sales, and future dividends are likely to remain strong, backed by RM1.5b in unbilled sales.
Paramount is buying 4.5 acres of land for rm 145m from receiver. The land is as good as putting up another Atrium and Ashwood combine, GDV should be rm 1 billion. So land cost is around 15% of GDV, construction cost 50%, 5% marketing cost, gross profit is 30% or 300 million. If development can complete within 5 years, each year can contribute 60 million profit before tax from this project alone.
