I believed the margin could be due to contracts that they are having. Since this is a service providing company, sometimes the margin on certain project could be really good but some maybe low due to competition or client squeezing. Increasing revenue is a good sign but have to monitor more on the report what causes the profit dropped.
This quarter's lower performance was mainly due to the loss made in Air Cond sub-division resulted from cost overrun and margin compression, as well as the provisions made for receivables and slow moving stock for this division. The Capital 21 is nearing completion and Variation Orders are potential to materialise, and hope this can again turn the Air Cond sub-division from red to black.
The revenue of the Group has been increasing, thanks to other divisions have been doing good in contract execution. The contract delays experienced by Environment and Plumbing sectors have eased and should see further improvement in subsequent quarters. The PE multiple calculated with core EPS is merely 9x at 73sen per share. AWC deserves >10x PE multiple as given by analysts. Thus, i suppose any fall in price due to the relatively poorer performance in this quarter presents opportunity to collect.
Exactly, I am getting more, then can buy boat soon. Furthermore acquisition of Trackworks will diversify their operation as well as $20m profit guarantee for FY19. Can't go wrong

Upward price momentum has been pleasantly surprising. Question is how long can this go ? Who’s pushing this up ? Interesting to note the vendors of Trackworks are getting AWC shares at RM1.00 each for the balance acquisition price.
"one (1) Warrant for every five (5) existing ordinary shares in AWC" , sorry newbie ask question here... what is ordinary shares ? i google for it and still not really understand.
