Gd question. Everything seems to be right but price is trending down something negative is brewing internally n we r still in the dark. We can be wrong but not price.
For the quarter Q2 2018, the Group recorded revenue of RM 760.0 mil, more than 70% increase from its revenue of RM 446.0 mil in the corresponding quarter last year. This had contributed to the Group recording a healthy net profit after Non-Controlling Interests of RM 21.0 mil (with EPS of 2.72 Sen) from RM 6.9 mil (with EPS of 0.9 Sen) in the corresponding quarter in 2017.
For the 1st half Year 2018, the Group recorded revenue of RM 1,553 mil, about 204% increase from its revenue of RM 763 mil in the corresponding 1st Half last year 2017. The Group recording a healthy net profit after Non-Controlling Interests of RM 50.3 mil (with EPS of 6.5 Sen) from RM 16.4 mil (with EPS of 2.12 Sen) in the corresponding 1st Half year in 2017, a jump of 306%.
Gross profit margin in Q2 has improved to 11.24% compared to 10.61% in Q1, however when compared to FY 2017 of 12.43%, it is lower due to weaker RM vs USD resulting in an exchange loss of RM6 mil for Q2 and RM5.5 mil for 1st Half 2018. I reviewed the core Oil and Gas profit before interest, before share of results of Associates and JV entities and exceptional income and expenses, its core profit for Oil and Gas has improved from Q4 2017 of RM34.4 mil to RM37.2 in Q2 2018.
When compared Q2 2018 profit before tax against Q1 2018, Q2 PBT has dropped from RM35.9 mil to RM28.9 mil. However take note that there is profit on disposal of PPE of RM8 mil in Q1 and Q2 Profit on disposal of PPE is RM1 mil. If you adjust the gain on disposal of PPE out, core profit before tax has remained the same at for both quarters at RM 27.9 mil despite Q2 suffering Forex Loss of RM 6 mil.
Wah Seong’s share price likely to still be under pressure as the status of our local pipeline projects i.e., Trans Sabah Gas Pipeline and Multi Products Pipeline remain uncertain.
I don't think Waseong was involved in the Sabah pipeline. Really curious why it drops unstoppably since it released its quarter result. The result is not bad. Anyhow, nowadays the whole market sentiment isn't good and this could impact the share price too
