Just stand aside and analyze the pic as a whole, is not hard to understand. Just some of ppl sitting on same boat with tan kay hock too early, if now only jump they will bleed profusely...so they forced to cont sit beside him....
Don't worry you all. Whether RM0.88 or RM1.10, don't wait now. Just buy and keep it for your next year ang pow. I have already done the math but too lazy to explain it here.
lol... how many % malaysian chinese in Malaysia only? now " everyone can fly with Air Asia " and so " everyone can buy Gkent " from 4.50 to 0.98 penny stock d lol
Prasrana have been warned about their poor management of LRT3, not the PDP. They wanted to get rid of PDP and do themselves, hahahhahahah, they have no one. Then they wanted to cut the line in half, hahahaah, no passengers. MOF should get a competent owner in place and let PDP get on. RM1 per share in cash in the business, a profitable business. Look at fundamentals and RM0.98 is below absolutely safe level. No nasi lemak this morning, buying 5 GK shares instead.
The amount of share buy back is really a joke except Monday bought 1 million share a day. Other days all 150k, 200k 300k... Very hard to believe their commitment.
According to 2018 annual report, their earning per share is RM0.221.
On Monday GM, the management said aiming to increase contribution of water meter business from 50% to 75%.
That means current earning contribution from water meter business is RM0.1105 per share.
Currently KLSE average P/E ratio is 16x.
That means reasonable share price for GKENT is (RM0.1105 x 16 =) RM1.768?
Even if we lower the average KLSE average P/E to 10x, means the share price is (RM0.1105 x 10 =) RM1.105?
Or, the dividend per share was 0.095 at 2018. If water metar business really contribute 50%, then the dividend for water meter is RM0.0475. Geven the FD rate now is 4%, so the share price should be (0.0475 / 0.04 =) RM1.1875?
u think gkent management will sit and watch share price fall meh. They certainly will find other opportunity since they are cash rich company. Gt money anythg oso can do la......
KUALA LUMPUR: The government has decided that Prasarana Malaysia Bhd will not be taking over the light rail transit line 3 (LRT3) project from the appointed project delivery partner (PDP), nor will it be calling it off.
Instead, The Edge Financial Daily has learnt that the ministry of finance will work closely with the PDP MRCB George Kent Sdn Bhd to lower the total cost of the project to about RM17 billion to RM18 billion, as opposed to the latest RM31.45 billion projected for the development.
It has been reported that an outright cancellation of the PDP agreement for the LRT3 project would require a compensation of a few hundred millions to be paid to the PDP.
In 2015, state-owned Prasarana appointed the joint venture between Malaysian Resources Corp Bhd (MRCB) and George Kent (Malaysia) Bhd as the PDP for LRT3, with an initial budget of RM9 billion for construction works and RM1 billion for land acquisitions.
On Tuesday, Finance Minister Lim Guan Eng called for a drastic cost reduction to make the project feasible and cost-effective, after revealing that the projected cost of the LRT3 project had spiralled to a whopping RM31.45 billion, higher than the RM15 billion figure cited in recent news reports.
Guan Eng blamed it on Prasarana’s poor management, adding that the ministry will not support any additional funding required for the project unless the cost is “significantly rationalised without compromising the rail network’s integrity as well as the safety and quality of service provided”.
In a statement yesterday, Prasarana said it took cognisance of the finance minister’s statement with regard to the increase in total cost, adding that its management had already begun cost-reduction processes since February.
“We will continue to work closely with the ministry of finance and project delivery partners (MRCB and George Kent) to identify additional areas that may help reduce said cost,” said Prasarana president and group chief executive officer Masnizam Hisham, who replaced outgoing Datuk Seri Azmi Abdul Aziz in January this year.
The 37km LRT3, upon completion, will connect Klang with Bandar Utama in Petaling Jaya.
MRCB shares slipped 1.5 sen or 2.52% yesterday to close at 58 sen, giving it a market capitalisation of RM2.55 billion. George Kent retreated eight sen or 7.48% to 99 sen with a market value of RM553.85 million.
No need to shift to Gadang. Instead you can buy both Gadang and Gkent. Both is below general industrial P/E level with good cash flow in their hands. Generally, for fundamental companies this is a good time to buy as much stock while sentiments towards macro is down. Generally, more will go out to the sea during low tide and when high tides comes, you enjoy watching it from your window.
MoF is by passing Prasarana Malaysia Bhd and work direct to PDP... that means, dont be surprise if one day a breaking news pop out says Prasarana Malaysia Bhd will be taking by MoF and liquidate, just like SPAD.
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....
