@shrobin, see you there as well... I buy for holding since its a value bargain now... DY 5% and above, not including if share price, revenue, net profit and eps keep growing... cannot imagine how huge potential it is!
they are pure construction company, not property company. so property slowdown unlikely to impact GDB as property company need to come out some project every year no matter how the property market is. Since their size is small, secure one or two high rise project each year is good enough to maintain profit, as long as they maintain their efficiency. on the current price with 30% divident payout, its a good bet for me
74% of the shares are in the hand of the two top guys that run the company! They are committed to make good! With 30% dividend policy in place, they are also committed to share!
The management has commented that they will enhance the competitiveness of their bids to win new projects given the challenging operating environment. This means profit margin will shrink in the future.
with this kind of market sentiment, do u think more projects will be awarded? even if more projects to be given, are they competent and capable to win these projects?
hold on first... sense maker says quantity, not quality... nicholas, says quality... btw, quality does not guarantee expensive... quantity does not guarantee profit...
I always love to ask people question, because this give me more idea rather than I speak alone...
back to the question, how GDB can maintain/increase profit margin? To be honest, they are doing right now, and thats is how they are well known in this industry despite they are small player... go and figure it out, i bet shrobin knows the answer...
I think the CEO early years of work experience in Mitsui has a lot to do with his current management thinking! He was a working professional that turn into a businessman.
yes, nicholas... you got it right... you know i know, management for sure will know... thats how they control their profit margin... I have been visiting their sites they are incharge for the past few weeks, what impress me also the same as you... btw their office is just nearby my house, i sometimes will intend drive through their office see whether this company is scam or not and their project which can be seen through from lrt and monorail, so im quite confidient in it...
I m also impressed they update their projects monthly with pictures on webpage, most construction dont do that, im pretty sure theyre confident with their efficiency in buildings ( skilled ) not everyone has, now adays all just cincai build and collect money
For the current financial quarter ended 30 September 2018, the Group’s revenue decreased 18.48% to RM55.75 million compared to RM68.38 million in the preceding financial quarter due to lower revenue contribution from the Westside III project, which is near completion. The Group also recorded lower revenue contribution from the Etiqa Office Tower project, which is undergoing finalisation of accounts with the client following its completion on 13 July 2018. Additionally, the AIRA Residence and Menara Hap Seng 3 projects which were secured in the second half of the financial year ended 31 December 2017 are both undergoing reinforced concrete construction works for the basements and podium where revenue recognition is relatively moderate due to the nature of works. The Group’s PBT decreased 24.73% in the current financial quarter under review to RM8.90 million from RM11.83 million in the preceding financial quarter. The lower PBT is in line with lower revenue recognised for the current financial quarter under review.
GDB is on track to deliver stronger profitability in the financial year ending 31 December 2018 in line with the construction progress of our ongoing projects. GDB’s order book stood at a healthy level of RM613.74 million as at 30 September 2018. The sizeable order book provides positive earnings visibility until third quarter of the financial year ending 31 December 2020, and comprise ongoing projects namely AIRA Residence in Damansara Heights and Menara Hap Seng 3 within the Kuala Lumpur city centre.
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....
