It's true money can be made. But looking at now , it's only from buying mother shares.
Buying wd now is not feasible for old bosses. Near expiry. They may buy mother tho
Most of us but WD to sell at higher price. But the owners may sapu WD now since it's cheap to convert to mother later. Again they need to fork out cash.
Hence I also dun think old bosses are interested in coming back to wct. Buy to make money perhaps.
Funny how the people here think. Got large orderbook ppl say sure have to borrow money and gear up or call for capital injection so negative.
I guess their prefer to invest into stocks with limited order book with no / little gearing. Sure that will do a lot for ROE
Also, judging from the comments most people here are clueless about gearing and financing structure. I dont think WCT gearing is high i.e. against a networth of 2.7b how much are their borrowings and dont forget large projects are normally against contract financing which is deemed well secured / low risk with cashflows from awarder structured to payoff each loan.
Go study other construction companies with weaker profiles and track record, and some of these are bumi companies. Ever ask yourself why these profiles with lousy financials they can still borrow ?
Do you even understand the concept of borrowing and why all big companies in general borrow for short / long term financing. If you dont, do yourself a favor and stop being lazy and learn something.
Anyway lets see who has the last laugh on WCT, be interesting to see.
like mrcb, wait for the share price to stabilize only enter...but consider raise fund only few hundred millions not billion it shall not drop very much.
WCT should be able to raise about similar fund with conversion of warrant WD, but, Desmond chose to sideline WD by bashed down share price below exercise price through proposed second round private placement.
The fund raising instead of rely on WD conversion is now replace through private placement to friendly party or proxy of Desmond to average down his holding cost. Desmond hold nil in WD, but instead former boss hold big stake in WD and also WE.
EPF, KWAP and Tbj Haji continue to sell.. Isn't it a bad sign? Don't rule out a right issue in the plan. Right issue will suit the controlling shareholders to increase stake at beaten down price.

Normally in such Private Placement(PP) exercise it is unfavourable to the retail investors.It is more for the greater interest of the major shareholder of the company.In the interim the stock price will hover down until such PP exercise is completed.No immediate catalyst to cause the price to recover in the short term period:-(((
Looking at the steep drop, could be pp causing ppl to worry n sell. Wct needs money for projects so it's normal to have cash calls or borrow money.
If Desmond is going the pp route, then it's probably time to buy now since he will sure push back up later...So many projects at hand...Should rebound later once the fear of pp settles
old bosses can, but when they sold to desmond surely there is a contractual obligation to NOT come back and also a business ethics/trust to not kacau kacau the new management. this i am very sure
this is my 2 cents. in business, trust is still very important..especially in big contract values
becoz if u dun have trust, like what is happening to empire city owner with its contractors ....lol the whole industry will know.
and malaysia's construction industry is very small
@Sammy300 the old boss can buy through nominees which no one will know.Surely,they will know the intrinsic value of the company if ever they were to buy back through their nominees.In corporate world trust is not cast in stone.It is a brutal world out there where money reigns.
Why not merge(M&A) with Suncon? Share swap 1 Suncon for 1 WCT. Both Suncon and WCT are eyeing BRT so M&A make sense. Yesterday we heard Supermax want to merge with Top Glove.
signn I follow what was discussed in Supermax thread that Top Glove takeover them better. Similarly I think Suncon better takeover WCT. Both Suncon are WCT are big winners of recent LRT3. Suncon went up but WCT drop a lot. Is it WCT management incompetence to their shareholders?
signn Waa..Really kena hentam la.
Ya this company will close soon. Hehe Everything also no good under him lo. All good under u ka hehe Suncon? Dun joke la. Like that also can?
Really wonder where these brainiacs come from Lol 20/10/2017 18:41
It's good to discuss . But pls use the grey matter to think constructively n logically. Why on earth would suncon want to acquire wct. Suncon is big n has many business. Subway group is large n well funded n well...Big
What has wct got to offer subway group that they do not already have? REIT? Sunway ada, construction? Sunway ada. Properties? Sunway ada, land bank? Sunway pun ada.
This is really borderline fantasy dreaming.
On the other hand, logically, dun care who want to taruh old boss or new boss, wct price going down maybe due to the pp issue. I suspect that. Fear n dilution of shares...That's why
Besides, share prices going down could mean lots of things. Perhaps it's better to price the pp now on the lower end n buy up wd since it's so cheap...Who knows what the owners are planning?
Funds still has hundreds of millions of shares in wct. They dun seem to be throwing millions of shares now..Do they?
So let's see . Those afraid kindly sell. Fantasy dreamers...Keep dreaming n u won't go anywhere. Good luck

Why WD not sold down to 0.5 sen? Someone accumulating to convert later?
