Many companies/stocks with lousy earnings (some even losses) and lousy growth prospects are trading at expensive valuation and higher market cap than PBA.
Whereas PBA still so UNDERVALUED. It is a monopoly business (no competitors) that Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger loves to own, recurring earnings, recession proof, etc. So much more upside, in my view
Among top 30 largest shareholder, many are from unit trust fund/investment bank, insurance, Singapore fund etc. Therefore, if any of these funds increase their shareholding, PBA share can snap up very quickly
Might have also caught the attention of new local/foreign institutional investors. Many were previously unaware of PBA, which is the only Pure Play water utilities stock listed on Bursa Malaysia.

If retail shareholder known well fair PBA valuation should be PE 10x, many of these fund managers should know even better PBA value, especially judging from concession business model
banking stock surge - money making business model PBA - money making concession business model with every 3 year traffic adjustment (first implement by current gov)
High profitability is to ensure strong cash flow to fund capex to built more water treatment plant, replace old water pipe, reduce leakage for non revenue water, which in turn increase profit. It win-win cycle
Take note PBA domestic water traffic is 2rnd lowest among all state. PBA still heavily subsidies domestic water user albeit at lower amount RM 56m compared to RM 110m before traffic adjustment. PBA have further give away free 10m3 to all domestic user for 6 months, give rise to total subsidy RM 56m + additional subsidy RM 11m.
Therefore, PBA have huge room for water traffic hike in next 3 year review and increase profit later can specially aim for targeted poor household rebate instead of to all domestic user in future.
More water traffic hike is necessary as PBA need to built more water treatment plant increase water suuply from current 890MLD to maximum level 1350 MLD by 2030.
Thereafter, additional water supply need to source from Perak-Penang water transfer after 2030, water traffic will have to hike again in line with external source of water from newly built water treatment from Perak
