Note 3: Prospects
As at 31 May 2024, the Group’s total order book stood at RM231.38 million. This order book is further strengthened by the recent contracts awarded totalling RM65.88 million secured after 31 May 2024. The Group aims to maintain this momentum and will remain steadfast in securing new projects to replenish its order book and improve revenue visibility. However, the Group is also cautious of the impact of the recent removal of Malaysia’s diesel subsidy on the prices of construction materials. Management will monitor and manage its impact accordingly.
RHB Research believes that trading momentum among construction counters will remain strong in the coming quarters, with infrastructure, industrial, or data centre wins newsflow providing more upside potential
