The proposed re-development of the Sri Damansara Club land is currently in progress. The Court Order to wind up Sri Damansara Club’s interest scheme was obtained in June 2019. The Club is expected to cease operation by the 4th quarter 2019. The preparation for submission of the development plans for a mixed high rise development project is underway. The estimated GDV of the project is valued at RM2.0 billion
Aria Rimba, L&G’s 112-acre township at U10, Shah Alam, is a mixed-development project that consists of link houses, semidetached houses, serviced apartments and affordable houses under the Rumah Selangorku initiative. The project, with an estimated total gross development value (GDV) of RM1.1 billion, will be developed over five phases throughout the next six years. Earthworks for Aria Rimba has already commenced and the development is expected to be launched from early 2020 onwards.
For FY March 2020 financial year, the Group is well poised to take advantage of an upward trending market with its on-going projects in the Klang Valley, namely Damansara Seresta (GDV of RM480 million); Astoria Ampang Phase 1 (GDV of RM400 million); and Sena Parc Phase 1 (GDV of RM35 million). The Group also intends to launch its Shah Alam landed development project, Aria Rimba, (GDV of RM1.1 billion) in 2020.
This is a very undervalued company with good growth potential for the next few years. Unfortunately most analysts still feel reluctant to upgrade the property sector or say something positive about the sector.... Nevertheless this could be a bottom fishing opportunity....
Shame on management asking government to raise EPF withdrawal to 50_70% for house purchase instead of building more affordable houses, cut the management remuneration for their non performance, distribute higher dividends for SH. All only looking and taking care of their own pocket. Luckily disposed of two years ago as they are good in shouting but short in delivery. TP12 medium term unless bull returns earlier.
There is no need to worry because in the past 2 years the stock price went up more than the announced dividend, so it went down after dividend ex. But this year it only went up 1 cent after announcement, so I don't think it will go down after ex.
Hello, guys. I’m not so familiar with property development companies. Therefore, wanna ask whether all the property development companies’ share prices are stagnant?
@tanhy123 thanks for your info But why people still investing money in these entities these days? Even the dividend payout also lower if compared with prior years.
@Rotiboy The property counters are deeply under value. Many are reaching the 2009 price level. For dividend, many have good payout above 5 or 6%, for example Mahsing, UOA, Matrix etc.
@Rotiboy I am not a guru so dare not to advise much. But few things I will consider: 1.Land bank - Purchase price, location etc 2.Unbilled sales - This tells us how much sales in the pipeline and how long it can sustain the operation 3 Inventory - How much still not yet sold, especially in slow env now? 4. Business strategy - Affordable housing or high end, strata or landed, city or outskirt 5. Cash on hand - Some companies may not able to survive through the slow down 6. Price per book value - Compare stock price against NTA
L&G may not have big name, but it has lots of land and healthy financial position. But in this slow market, it will take some time to realize the values of its landbank. Next year it will launch more projects, but no body can foresee the market condition.
I think the negative cash flow from operation is due to the ongoing sales of the projects: Astoria Ampang, Damansara Seresta and Sena Parc are not so well in the slow market. But the company is in net cash position of 200 million with unbilled sales of 189 million, so it should not have cash flow issue. The value of this company is with its landbank and its current valuation is so low, which is good for value investor. Can see that the stock price has been locked in tight range, which I suspect due to action from some big player so that they can collect the shares from retail investors and those who lose their patience. So the questions is, the latest measures from gov to help developers to sell the unsold high end strata units to foreigners, is it a game changer for the industry?
Coming QR should be good compared to the terrible Q 1 year ago. With the help of HOC I expect jump in sales with reduced profit margin due to discount given.
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....

Coming QR should be good due to HOC. I believe we have seen the bottom of property sector.
