BUSINESS PROSPECTS As the current financial year remains challenging with higher operating cost affecting the Group, the Board is reviewing the operational efficiency of each business unit to assess and determine its long-term relevance within the Group’s operations. Accordingly, the Board may consider divesting the non-core business activities to realign the Group’s competitive position as an integrated engineering group moving forward. However, the Board is encouraged that based on the present level of activities, the Group’s performance for this financial year will be another strong year arising from the following developments:- (i) Construction Division With the recent award of the contract for Package V206 of the Project Mass Rapid Transit Laluan 2: Sungai Buloh – Serdang – Putrajaya (SSP) for a contract sum of RM952.09 million, the outstanding order book grew significantly to some RM1.6 billion. (ii) Property Division Aggressive market traction to implement more affordable home sales will assist to strengthen the Property Division’s activities. The current unbilled sales registered some RM164.7 million in value. (iii) Utility Division Upon completion of fresh negotiation with the local authorities, possible higher tariff rates will have positive impact to the Utility Division. The mini hydro project of 9MW is still under construction phase and is not expected to generate revenue until FYE 2018. (iv) Plantation Division More maturing acreage will contribute to better yield and reduce the Plantation Division present loss position during this financial year.
stop sugar coating.. its a bad quater.. revenue drop. PAT drop. eps drop.. the only positive is getting the mrt contract.. i dont mean to say gadang is bad.. but the latest quater is bad..
Received replies from Gadang as below: 1. safeguard duties for import of bars and wire rods, any cost impact? reply - for MRT projects, PDP will absorb cost for steel and for Rapid project, cost impact but manageable
looking at the result, i would say that the management promise to us about maintaining last year performance or better is on track.
the high profit margin commanded by gadang at current business environment will drive us through FY17. Look at Q4 2016 PBT, not hard to achieve it, provided no bad surprises la.
eh, what is investment holding business division ah? jilaka, that one loss 4 mil leh...if not the number will be even better.
Revenue drop because previously is under mrt1 work loh..the margin much more lower compare to rapid loh Pefer good profit or revenue? Dun simply said bad result... Plantation soon will become profit plus mini hydro 2019 coming
If I'm not mistaken, there are only 2 railway concept stocks still below 10 PE ratio, Gadang and TRC. The different between both of them are Gadang hard to secure more projects but TRC can since this company is only few bumi contractors who has qualified.
bad, good, normal, good/better. got to wait for next Qtr results. Construction contribution more or less, but property can contribute higher due to near completion of Capital 21. Gadang to recognised Capital 21 profit in comming Qtrs.
However, the Board is encouraged that based on the present level of activities, the Group’s performance for this financial year will be another strong year arising from the following developments:- (i) Construction Division With the recent award of the contract for Package V206 of the Project Mass Rapid Transit Laluan 2: Sungai Buloh – Serdang – Putrajaya (SSP) for a contract sum of RM952.09 million, the outstanding order book grew significantly to some RM1.6 billion.

Keke sifu, company do budget one la, they know the results already if they control the budget well. So far if their project execution can achieve the target, should be no problem to deliver the results per what they said in AGM. they dare to say better is because if they can do it faster, more profit due to cost saving and more percentage profit can be recognised; and good project execution is Gadang strong point, thus the good profit margin despite drop of revenue. As the project is marching to the end, comming qtr better profit can be expected, but subject to technical issue of profit recognition.
Dun keep mentioned revenue low la..more important is profit loh..since construction order book still got 1.6b..mrt2 952m..balance mainly from rapid which is high margin contract leh
If not mistaken, he said according to (bank negara?) report, insufficient affordable house. so Gadang is in the right tract on developing affordable home.
He also said that it is expected that Government will ease the lending/borrowing requirement, property is going to go up again in these 2 years, Thus Gadang properties performance will be ok if he is right
The above speaker also mentioned that CPO will maintain above 3000, and go as high as 4000. bullish. So one can expect Gadang plantation arm will have positive contribution as well
Needless to say, Gadan's power plant is expected to contribute more in future, due to negotiation of better rates. U see this KYY die push JAKS say because of power plant. Dun forget Gadang has gone thru the initial stage of builing a large scale Solar Power Plant hor...
So there may be ding dong on share price later, depends on how the big boys want to play with it. Dont forget while waiting for the next Qtr results, there may be Hospital projects and LRT3 projects for the share price to run up. Gadang is still ok without these 2 projects ma. no? and the possibilities of getting hospital project is high ma, no? then what for asking the big Doctor to sit in the board?
and hor... remember the principal officer that bot Gadang shares before bonus + spilt ? up to today they still havent take profit wor... they sor-kah? those bot ESOS share, oso no sales announcement yet wor, so much profit oso dun want sell... wait for market crash arr?
Those bot Gadang son... slow slow tremble lor, next qtr if declare 4-5sen dividend, adjust 4-5 sen = +-8% share price lor... now even got ppl say want to lali lintang pukang on the results...
zexon sifu, profit recognition on Capital 21 project looks like a different animal. Gadang only entitle to the big portion after the project completed. U can go search Icon sifu articles on this. give 20% discount to the profit estimate oso fatt than pig head
keke sifu, no proble la, I give rubbish comment only, no effect one. most important is whether the big boys wanna throw down or not, throw down than you can buy back at low low price la
Come back to the above speaker, he didnt give stock tipsy, but he said, BUY ANY SHARES la... jilakak, any shares, So shares like Gadang, which maintain its high profit in a difficult time, and has good prospect, in construction business which he said bullish, oil palm plantation which he said CPO buliish, property he said ok and can stlll go... no rise than really bad lor
kevin sifu, we diam diam buy la if drop, buy slowly, cos dunno how strong they are and how deep they wanna press. but if they dare press deep, means they are confident to pull up again, veli powerful then, they. I just now still headache how to get back my sold Gadang. now got chansy liao
Gadang's 3Q improves on better property contribution, lower cost of sales.
KUALA LUMPUR (April 19):
Gadang Holdings Bhd posted a slight increase of 3% in net profit for the third quarter ended Feb 28, 2017 (3QFY17) to RM25.79 million, from RM25.11 million a year earlier, largely on higher contributions from the property division.
It also registered a 41% fall in cost of sales to RM77.92 million during the quarter, from RM131.8 million in the previous corresponding quarter, its Bursa Malaysia filing today showed.
However, the positive impact of these were mostly negated by the 27% fall in revenue to RM128.54 million, from RM17.92 million a year ago, on lower contribution from its construction division, which registered a topline of RM70.77 million, compared with RM122.73 million previously.
For the first nine-months of FY17, net profit grew 11% to RM70.39 million, from RM63.69 million — thanks to improved contributions from its property and utility divisions, though revenue fell 11% to RM381.02 million, from RM427.28 million, again dragged by its construction division.
Moving forward, the company said as the current financial year remains challenging with higher operating cost, the board is reviewing the operational efficiency of each business unit.
“Accordingly, the board may consider divesting the non-core business activities to realign the group’s competitive position as an integrated engineering group, moving forward,” said Gadang Holdings.
“However, the board is encouraged that based on the present level of activities, the group’s performance for this financial year will be another strong year,” the company added.
Shares in Gadang Holdings closed down two sen or 1.55% at RM1.27 today, for a market capitalisation of RM828.97 million.
