kimlun is generating cash like 0.34/share a year, near 29% of yielding at current price.Even you said small construction firms it should be like 1.30-1.50 range lah. Div yield 4.78%, hope to have more future.
Only novice think they got project in jb. Laugh die me.... I wont be surprise this stock will be my biggest miss in 2019 portfolio for competition.... So sad now
The behaviour of this stock u all nees to study a bit. When it really runzit can be rm2 range plus. But when silent down, its at current range loh. If current price so low, what you so afraid ah?? Remember every stock got behavior. When kimlum got projects, got revenue ans profit strongly flowing in last time, the people goreng it up up to 2.30 range. Now its like rock bottom price. Still on of my best i guess for construction theme play turnaround this yr
In terms of valuation this company is actually not that expensive. Most analyst has a target profit of around RM60mil for FY19 which means the company is currently being valued at only 6.5x PE.
However, you need to take note that the company could potentially face some liquidity issues in the future. Based on 4Q18 report, it currently has a cash balance of around RM35mil but RM22mil is pledge to the bank which leaves them with only RM13mil for working capital. This might not be enough which is why the company had decided to take in more debt in FY18 to fund their working capital. Debt has increased RM130mil in FY17 to RM275mil as of Dec 18 with most of the new debt in the form of short term debts.
Another thing to take note is management indication of the company reluctance to participate in any future ECRL contracts even if the government decides to revive the project later. This is mainly due to the very thin margins of the contracts for the projects (which is logical given the government target to cut the cost to almost half from RM66bil to around RM35bil).
If you are really interested in the company, i would suggest you to maybe wait for the 1Q19 result at least to see if the cash reserves of the company has improve. If they failed to do so, management might be forced to take in more debt which will result in lower profit in the future due to higher interest payment ( the new debts taken in FY18 mostly carries higher interest rates). Or worst they might be forced to make a capital call exercise.
The company's PAT dropped 11% in 2018 as compared with that in 2017. But the share price dropped > 60% in 2018.
Maybe it's time for it to recover at least half to RM1.60 given that its fundamentals remain the same or improving with more mega projects to be unveiled or revived again....it will likely be a potential beneficiary for the proposed RTS link in JB....
Construction Research by Hong Leong investment Bank Sector Outlook (Neutral)
Bandar Malaysia resuscitated The Government announced that the Bandar Malaysia project was reinstated. The master developer of the project is IWH-CREC Sdn Bhd (ICSB) which would buy 60% of the underlying land and the balance 40% would continue to be owned by the Government. Major beneficiaries of this project are IWC, Ekovest and MRCB. Reinstatement of Bandar Malaysia project also increa ses the likelihood of the HSR revival. Bandar Malaysia was supposed to host the terminus of HSR previously. We are turning warmer on construction given the recent positive news flow on project revivals. However, the KLCON is already up 31% YTD. Maintain NEUTRAL on construction, Kimlun is our top pick.
