The negative variance was mainly underpinned by: (i) slower-thanexpected work progress for certain projects, and (ii) higher operating expenses in the construction and utilities divisions. YoY, 1HFY24 topline increased 13.1% to RM291.9mn, thanks to higher sales recorded and improved work progress in the property division. However, its core PBT plunged by 7.7% YoY to RM12.7mn due to higher operating costs for its 9MW mini-hydro power plant and margin erosion in the construction division caused by higher raw material and labour costs. QoQ, the 2QFY24’s revenue jumped 25.5% to RM162.4mn, largely driven by: (i) higher construction work progress, (ii) improved property sales, and (iii) the commencement of commercial operation of the 9MW minihydro power plant. Despite this growth, the core PBT was halved down to RM4mn, compared to RM8.7mn in 1QFY24, due to escalating operating costs incurred in both construction and utilities divisions. Impact Considering the weaker-than-expected results, we adjusted our revenue recognition and margin assumptions for certain ongoing projects. Consequently, our earnings forecasts for FY24-26F are revised downward by 20.7%/15.9%/12.0%, respectively, reflecting the challenging operating conditions. Outlook As of end-Nov 2023, the group’s construction order book and unbilled property sales stood at RM1.1bn and RM280mn, respectively, providing a clear earnings prospect for the group over the next two years. Additionally, the property division anticipates a better sales contribution in the upcoming quarters, supported by compelling sales package incentives. Valuation Following the earnings revision, we lower our TP to RM0.23 (from RM0.28) based on the SOP valuation. Maintain Sell call due to the stretched valuation. 26/01/2024 2:25 PM soon9913 https://klse.i3investor.com/web/blog/detail/taresearch/2024-01-26-story-h-190177616-Gadang_Holdings_Berhad_Higher_Operating_Costs_Weighed TP0.23 by TA 26/01/2024 2:25 PM ivanlau This stock let me remind of then stock market guru - ty yap aka condom seller .

Dunno whether Gadang can claim these costs or not. 31/01/2024 6:35 AM XinXin Chan After seeing loss making construction counters like ECONBHD & EKOVEST, Gadang looks not so bad. 12/03/2024 7:35 PM pangolin gadang at least start positive and making money for 2 QR, much better than other construction counter , as long as making profit , sharing price will sustain 13/03/2024 1:30 PM XinXin Chan After large construction counters moving upward, smaller players like ECONBHD, GDB, SENDAI... all fly today.

Makes no commercial sense 28/03/2024 7:33 PM ks55 Data Centre here, Data Centre there. Data Centres are booming in Malaysia. Gadang got 280 million contract to build a Data Centre in Cyberjaya from TM. https://www.bursamalaysia.com/market_information/announcements/company_announcement/announcement_details?ann_id=3441825 26/04/2024 6:23 PM kancs3118 Gadang is in hot soup as EPU is throwing the spanner in the works for it's prime jewel property development - Kwasa Damansara land purchase deal. Chances are - they need to satisfy the 30% Bumi requirement meaning lesser profit for its property division. 29/04/2024 10:38 AM kancs3118 Higher interest accumulation on its trade receivables. Meaning trade AR is aged longer ? Any payment issue .? 29/04/2024 10:39 AM Smart Beginners Someone is pressing the price, good news also cannot go up. Throw it byebye 30/04/2024 10:20 AM kancs3118 Join me buy Tambun biscuits bro...Gadang will shine towards end of CY24...when RTS Johor makes meaningful progress .. 30/04/2024 8:16 PM kritikos announced data centre contract but muted price movement... in fact, looking at the chart, price peaked before the announcement... 😑 see retail investors see the news already too late.. sigh. 01/05/2024 4:43 PM pangolin share price start to pick up after slept and quiet for 2 years , with kwasa land and good quarter result , hope to see gadang back 40c abovee 01/05/2024 9:23 PM kancs3118 Good QTR results ?! Don't make me laugh leh...construction division is still making losses. Profit is attributable to interest income arising from Receivables. But whether the receivables can convert to cash is questionable. 04/05/2024 11:12 AM kancs3118 Good QTR results ?! Don't make me laugh leh...construction division is still making losses. Profit is attributable to interest income arising from Receivables. Higher interest implies longer aging. Longer aged receivables implies higher risk of collectables. Whether the receivables can convert to cash is questionable. 04/05/2024 11:51 AM Michael Kwok Gadang 43 cents Sell call wait for at least 5 trading days.Can it be 55 cents above after the correction??? 14/5/24 11.31pm 14/05/2024 11:32 PM pangolin xin xin chan , after so so many years ... be happy at least with 40c above , 50c is good move after 19/05/2024 10:50 AM Peace99 Gadang Tan Sri Kok delivers......just check the progress of Bukit Chagar Station! 23/05/2024 11:10 AM kancs3118 Interesting observation...but why the construction division still showing losses ? By right, this RTS project should be driving the construction division revenue as it forms the bulk of the order book. Based on press release, this RTS project is supposed to be completed by middle of 2024. I expect contributions / progress billings from this project to be in the advanced stage already. But why the construction division still showing losses ? Completing the project is one thing..but to do it profitably is another thing. 23/05/2024 12:16 PM kancs3118 kancs3118 Every quarter, Gadang attributes the losses from its construction division to costs overrun such as labor and material costs. It seems to me these are external factors that Gadang cannot control. Yet, Gadang is still unable to claim from the principal. I will only load up on Gadang comes next quarter results based on the performance of the construction division. Should its construction division is showing profit, then we are talking about a very different Gadang. 23/05/2024 12:20 PM | |
