this quarter got recognize 1.3 mil loss on plantation sale ya....excluding this almost challenging gadang historical highest quarterly earning....this kind of result, this kind of price, cannot die wan lah.
Debt to equity ratio increased from last Q of 0.33 to current quarter of 0.42 due to increased bank borrowings to finance IP in Damansara Perdana of RM45 million. However, working capital ratio still above 3.0 and is healthy position actually.
unrealised loss on foreign exchange of RM2.12 million on utility division :( , the appreciation of MYR is hurting the profit from Indonesia. but the recurring income are expect to increase this year and the mini hydro project will start contribute at 1st quarter of 2019.I believe the earning of utility division at 2019 definately better.
@ihelpyouuhelpme, it writen in their quarter report statement, i have no idea how can a foreign exchange lost for RM2.21million. but they mention the earning will be increase in the subsequent quarter.
Anyone knows what is in "other expenses" - Went up Rm2.8m this quarter. Other income came down... These two items are causing the q-o-q performance lower by RM4.4m .
Drawing down RM92m of bank loan.. paying about 5%-7% interest when they have more than RM200m cash is earning 3%. Wonder why they keep so much cash?
Jarklp, cash is blood for a company especially construction field. More cash mean more blood circulation for company to turn over in short term. It is good for a construction company to hold cash and it is also as pool of armor for them to bid for new project.
Based on latest AGM data (shared from bluefun post), the actual construction order books shall be RM1.6-1.7mil:
RM'mil AGM Fact / Actual Contract Amt KVMRT V206 = 933.7 / 952.09 RAPID 301 & 402 = 103.8 / 560.13 Cyberjaya Hospital = 475.0 / 475.00 TRX = 166.6 / 167.23 (51% of 327.91) Total = 1,679.1 / 2,154.45
And do note that TRX is JV project, the profit will reflect in the "share of results of JV" item in the P&L. Hence it's revenue wont included into the top line revenue.
as a stock investor, i hope BN wins; as a citizen, i hope BN be end. What a dilemma haha. but if BN lose, maybe we can sapu when drop. because contracts have been signed and revenue will be realised. just my opinion...
MD bought 6.6m shares last 6 months (DIRECT INTEREST), about RM1.10-1.30 (equivalent to about RM3.20 including bonus, split, dividend). The last time he sold (DIRECT INTEREST) was in Sep 2016, at about RM2.90. I remember he mentioned, his DIRECT INTEREST is for pocket money.
I remembered he was "laughed at" for investing (c. 20%) in GPacket at around 30sen, now is about 56sen, and I think he is laughing to the bank. I think he doubled in less than 4 years. As far as I know, he is very conservative MD.
Last 2 years, he bought almost RM160m of land, for long term development. Remember, many years back, Gadang invested into Tampoi land, Johor for RM30m, now, share of profit for the land is RM320m. Make 10-fold, not too bad. Good thing, it is risk free, only provide land, and able to share up to RM320m. Perhaps, this is called foresight?
This book is the result of the author's many years of experience and observation throughout his 26 years in the stockbroking industry. It was written for general public to learn to invest based on facts and not on fantasies or hearsay....
