In my very humble opinion, these are my thoughts on the reasons behind Eddie’s moves (his previous PP take up and recent open market purchases) :
1) Ptrans real estate. I think that’s his real reason 2) Going into something where he has no presence (transport, retail, logistics in Perak) and market share 3) He sees adding value creation to Ptrans and perhaps see hidden efficiency opportunities 4) Possible KIPREIT tie-up (refer to my past posts here)
I’ve been going over the numbers to see what could be a takeover price. It’s still quite some ways to go for Eddie and his dad at this early stage. I’m confident he’ll continue shopping and firming things up behind the scenes
But, of course, traders don’t give a rat’s ass bout this, hence the profit taking this week thus far.
I'd say your option 4 is possibly closer to the mark as this could release extra value with certain synergies between PTrans and KIP REIT being developed over time.
With the Bidor Terminal Project currently under construction, I will be keeping an eye out for any developments in regards to new tenancies and in particular the types of tenants they may attract. It's very early days in this possible new collaboration but worth watching and keeping an ear close to the ground for any upcoming news.
I also have the feeling that cross docking logistics is something they will be very keen to develop further with the sites they own and also the ones they currently manage or will be managing in the future. That initiative could become very lucrative.
Ong began to increase his stake in Opcom on Sept 29, after the company announced that it was diversifying into the telecommunication network infrastructure solutions business via the acquistion of T&J Engineering Sdn Bhd for RM90 million. T&J Engineering is understood to have won sub-contracts for the implementation of the Jalinan Digital Negara (Jendela) Phase 1 project in multiple locations across Sarawak.
Perak Transit announced that the company entered into a strategic alliance agreement with edotco Malaysia to appoint the latter to provide the services to build, erect, install, construct, maintain and operate the relevant in-building solutions.
UPON completion of Phase 1 of the Jalinan Digital Negara (Jendela) project, edotco Group Sdn Bhd has been awarded 233 tower sites for Phase 2.
The caretaker Menteri Besar of Perak, Datuk Seri Saarani Mohamad has announced that the state is expected to reach 80 per cent 5G network coverage by the year 2024. Furthermore, 106 new 5G network sites will also be built in Perak by the end of the year, complementing the existing 37 network sites in the state.
Tree, as I posted before, I think a sale-leaseback arrangement with KIPREIT of one or two of the existing terminals is most likely one of the main reasons for Eddie’s interest. PTrans have already mentioned they have embarked on an asset light strategy by providing terminal management services. So, sale-leaseback would be part of the asset light strategy
Securing TF Valuemart’s tenancy for the upcoming Bidor terminal will be another recurring income. PTrans didn’t specify what size the hypermarket would be but TF usually do not take up more than 80,000 square feet net lettable space.
There should be more commuters (and footfalls for retail shopping at the terminals) with the elections, Christmas, New Year and CNY coming
Looking further ahead, I doubt PTrans would be interested to expand beyond Perak. Selangor would not be feasible. Perhaps in Pahang. As usual, it ain’t easy to even start a new bus terminal (SPAD, etc)
As an aside (or maybe actually relevant), I found it odd that PTrans posted Eddie’s 7/11 purchase during yesterday’s lunch break; they can choose to post it after market close. To arrest yesterday’s morning slide, perhaps? :)
Tony, regarding TF Valuemart at Bidor................The Demised Premises is located at the ground floor of an integrated public transportation terminal (“Bidor Sentral”) to be constructed on all that piece of land held under H.S.(D) 25876, PT 11387, Mukim Bidor, Daerah Batang Padang, Negeri Perak with a built-up area of approximately 52,000 square feet together with not less than 100 dedicated car parks for the use by the Tenant and the customers of the Tenant.
The initial term of the tenancy is three (3) years commencing from the Tenancy Commencement Date followed by four (4) renewal period options for further terms of three (3) years each upon the expiry of each three (3)-year term. The rental for the initial term of three (3) years shall be increased by 8% for each renewal period
A bit more about the Bidor Project, as many seem to think it is only a bus terminal:
Bidor Sentral is a new integrated public transportation terminal consisting bus terminal, retail lots, convention hall, badminton hall, bowling center, supermarket and other entertainment or leisure components in Bidor and is expected to be completed by the second half of year 2023. PTRANS aims to bring in TFVM as a core anchor tenant in Bidor Sentral. In collaboration with TFVM, it allows PTRANS to provide essential shopping experience to the customers, while attracting more footfall traffic to Bidor Sentral. In addition, this collaboration is in line with the Group’s plan to drive modernised and sustainable urban transport services in the terminals, while further diversifying into more innovative leasing ideas within the terminals.
Ooo, thanks Tree, I missed that. Like I said, not more than 80k square feet coz that’s TF’s boss strategy for now (which FYI I had visited their supermarket in PD Waterfront this year where TSRCap recently sold to an investor forRM23M)
8% increase every 3 years is good altho many property investors insist on 10%
I’m too lazy to search for the details tho : Any mention of the rent rate? I can calculate the net yield for PTrans but it’ll be really tough coz I dunno the cost (land cost, construction cost, financing costs for land and construction, etc etc)
Just to follow up from my previous post, this recent spike started from a closing price of 88 cents to a high closing point of 1.16. The Fib retracement point of 38.2% came in at 1.053, coinciding with the intraday low of 1.05 on Tuesday
Ptrans to release their quarterly report tomorrow (Wednesday 23), so keep an eye out for it either during the midday break or after market, if you are interested.
DATO' ONG CHOO MENG (a substantial shareholder) acquired 209,700 shares on 17-Nov-2022. DATO' ONG CHOO MENG (a substantial shareholder) acquired 691,000 shares on 21-Nov-2022. DATO' ONG CHOO MENG (a substantial shareholder) acquired 256,000 shares on 22-Nov-2022.
Two company record quarterly profit results in a row. Can't argue with that :)
Press Release – For Immediate Distribution PERAK TRANSIT BERHAD REPORTS RECORD PROFIT AFTER TAX OF RM15.04 MILLION IN 3QFY22 A ND DECLARES FOURTH INTERIM DIVIDEND OF 0.75 SEN PER SHARE
On the quarterly results, AmInvest raise their valuation for PTrans to Rm1.36.
Going through the quarterly, although the Revenue and Net Profit grew yet again to record levels for two quarters in a row, the actual Net Profit would have been much higher had it not been for Deferred Tax payment.
All in all, it looks very positive for future growth and higher revenues and net profit, imo.
@vic3ai, the webinar was mainly a report on how this quarter compared to the previous quarter and year on year growth figures. There is a six minute video on youtube which is a short summary of the webinar results presentation. Nothing new in it if you have already been following the company's growth and development this year.

The Board of Directors of Perak Transit Berhad (“PTRANS” or the “Company”) wishes to announce that PTRANS Resources Sdn Bhd (“PTRANS Resources”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, has on 7 December 2022 entered into a Master Framework Agreement (“Agreement”) with On Site Services Sdn Bhd [Registration No. 201701046243 (1260419-D)] (“On Site Services”), a 79% subsidiary of edotco Malaysia Sdn Bhd, to provide the services and solutions to deliver the Project, as further defined hereinafter, for On Site Services.

This is in line with PTRANS’ strategy to pursue new business opportunities to increase the Group’s revenue stream and enhance the Group’s profitability.

The Directors of PTRANS are of the opinion that the entry into the Agreement is in the best interest of the Company and of the Group.
Tree, I’m just not sure what our newly minted PM will be doing. He’s definitely reviewing a whole bunch of things. Edotco is Axiata. Digi and Celcom have married…
I read a Yahoo Finance article not that long ago about the telecommunication tower industry here in Malaysia. It’s almost exclusively government-backed and controlled…
