LC02 to Boost Growth.

KGB’s outstanding orderbook (as at end-Dec 2023) stood at MYR1.3bn, predominantly comprised of ultra-high purity (UHP) projects (74%), followed by general contracting (20%) and process engineering (6%) jobs. We are optimistic that the group can uphold its high margin as UHP projects gain prominence. KGB secured c.MYR200m new contracts as at Feb-2024, including a MYR143m contract from China's largest semiconductor foundry. Management remains committed to prioritising higher-margin projects, backed by a MYR1.9bn tenderbook and anticipated semiconductor sector recovery, supported by Semiconductor Industry Association's 13.1% growth forecast for 2024.

Management guided that KGB will extend its reach to Hong Kong and Germany. A subsidiary has been set up in Hong Kong, while in Germany, a subsidiary is expected in the next few months. The foray into new markets will provide significant opportunities for the group, especially with the latter expected to capture potential jobs from the European region. GPM in these markets are expected to be as high as those in Malaysia and Singapore (c.15% for the engineering segment). Currently, the group has c.MYR400m and MYR70m worth of tenders in Hong Kong and Germany. We view the expansion positively given KGB's strong track record with European fabs that have operations locally and in Singapore.

Fueling growth. The LCO2 segment has seen tremendous growth (4-year CAGR: 94.3%), underpinned by robust demand in Oceania markets. With an additional 70k tonne capacity from the second plant (to commence in mid- March), KGB will become the largest local LCO2 producer. Looking ahead, the group will explore new markets in Indonesia to expand its overseas presence, driven by growing demand (mainly from F&B clients). With double the margin of the industrial gases (IG) segment compared to the conventional business, expanding IG operations will further boost its margin.

Setia is taking a short rest before making another surge. Its undervalued - No worries.

What makes Japanese suddenly interested in YTL?

This is just my guess:

1. My article somehow reach there and some rich Japanese read it and want to buy it
https://klse.i3investor.com/web/blog/detail/bestStocks/2024-03-17-stor...

2. Nikkei Index at all time high makes more people rich and they want to invest overseas. Japanese may be familiar with YTL as YTL Hotels owns a 462 ha mountain ski resort in Niseko Village in Hokkaido, Japan.

3. Some Merger & Acquisition (M&A) which I don't know what are the details. Big Japanese corporation buying some stake in YTL? YTL sell their asset in Japan? Or some form of JV in the pipeline?

VALUATION

2 key approaches to assess the intrinsic value of Crescendo:

• Asset Value: I used the Book Value here of RM3.32 per share

• Earnings Value of RM4.64 per share:

EPV based on average earnings over the past 12 years plus the value of the non-operating assets. My non-operating assets include excess land held for development as well as an estimate of the land re- valuation surplus.

Oops its becoming political now.

Former Law Minister Datuk Zaid Ibrahim said the Ministry of Finance and Bank Negara needs to explain whether it is safe and prudent for a data collection agency like CTOS Data Systems Sdn Bhd (CTOS) to have unlimited access to sensitive financial data of the people and companies.

Zaid said such data was usually given to banks and statutory bodies like the Companies Commission of Malaysia (SSM) but CTOS is given access to it all.

"CTOS is a wealthy private company owned by rich foreigners and local institutions. They have access to all your data.

"I am just wondering if the Ministry of Finance / Bank Negara ever asked if it is safe and prudent to allow a data collection company with the overreach and power to assess the creditworthiness of all our citizens.

"If bank officers and directors are not interested in evaluating and assessing their customers' risk but outsource the job to CTOS, then let the government ensure that only locals can own CTOS....not foreigners," he said in his latest Facebook posting.

Zaid said the underclass with low income and low savings rates will never pass CTOS's test as their score will be in the red zone.

"Their loans will always be more than their income. CTOS will not give them a second chance.

"However, a responsible government must give all of us a second chance. Loans must be given to those who, despite temporary difficulties and inability to pass the CTOS test, have other attributes and potential to make another attempt at success.

"If local lending institutions are too lazy to do their work and depend on foreigners who understand nothing of the socio-economic background of their customers to decide if financial help should be extended, then the poverty cycle will never be broken," he said.

Zaid said it was time members of parliament push for a law mandating the government to set up more lending institutions where the decision to extend credit should be left to the individual bank.

YTL Power’s Wessex Water to return to the black with a 11% hike in water tariffs with effect from 1st April 2024.

ANALYST REPORTS
Tuesday, 12 Mar 2024

PETALING JAYA: YTL Power International Bhd’s subsidiary Wessex Water Services Ltd will likely return to profitability following an increase in water tariff to be imposed from April 1.

According to CGS International Research (CGSI), Wessex will impose an 11% increase to water bills of its customers as part of its approved annual water tariff adjustments.

“We estimate the tariff revision translates into an increase of at least RM95mil in quarterly revenue for Wessex, all else remaining equal.

“This, in our view, should translate into improved earnings for Wessex and could pave the way for its return to profitability as early as third quarter ending March 31, 2024 (3Q24),” the research house said.

Wessex explained, in its announcement, that it deliberately kept tariff increases lower than anticipated during last year’s review to alleviate the immediate financial strain on its customers amid the cost-of living crisis in the UK.

This year’s adjustment serves, in part, as a recovery for the under-collection between April 2023 and March 2024.

CGSI said another key re-rating catalyst for YTL Power is securing off-takers for the Nvidia data centre (DC) and colocation facilities at attractive rates.

“While finer details on the DC projects are still lacking, our initial calculations suggest that these planned DC investments can contribute as much as RM1.2bil to RM1.4bil in net profit to YTL Power once fully ramped up in FY27,” it said.

CGSI said it is a good time to accumulate the stock after succumbing to selling pressure recently, with the stock down 12% since Feb 27, despite experiencing positive operational developments.

“While the shares were up strongly over the past 12 months (356%), we believe the potential value accretion from the DC investments have yet to be fully priced in.

“The current share price implies an FY24/25 price over earnings of circa nine to 10 times on an earnings base that reflects a normalisation of PowerSeraya earnings by FY26,” the research house added.

Target Price : RM1.15 ↓ We downgrade CTOS to UP with a lower DCF-derived TP of RM1.15 (from RM2.00) as we attach a higher risk premium stemming from a recent court decision which ruled that the group’s credit scoring facilities have been performed above their legal capacity. CTOS has since filed for an appeal, which we expect its credit scoring products to be substantial contributors to the group. For now, business risks appear to deepen with likely immediate repercussions being a challenge to its business model and similar legal suits arising in the near-term.

Johor is a rising star in the data center landscape, and CRESCENDO is well-positioned to capitalise on this growth. Coupled with the company's undervalued landholdings, partial recurring incomes, and decent dividend history.

These factors make CRESCENDO an attractive stock for investors seeking exposure to growing data center industry in Johor and RTS Link, the potential game-changer for property market in Johor Bahru.

Net assets per share of Rm 9.0 upon revaluation.

As majority of the lands have not been revalued for years, and if we assume a net gain of RM600m from the remaining 202 acres of industrial land in Nusa Cemerlang Industrial Park and a RM1b revaluation surplus for its remaining landbank and properties, this will bump up its net asset per share to RM9, versus its current share price of RM2.58 per share.

YTL & YTLPOWR: A Powerhouse Performance - Is This Stock a Must-Have in Your Portfolio?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Author: KingKKK | Publish date: Fri, 23 Feb 2024, 7:54 AM

Dragon328 has written a comprehensive article about YTL and YTLPOWR earnings yesterday, the details in the link below.

YTL & YTL Power - Ended Year 2023 with a Bang

I will summarize his article into pointers below:

1. Superb earnings: YTL Power's net profit was RM845 million, a surge by 325% against similar quarter last year. PowerSeraya, Wessex Water, and Jordan Attarat Power were the main profit drivers.

2. YTL Power is worth minimum RM6.30: dragon328 said that It should at least trade at 15x PER or RM6.30 per share to be comparable with Tenaga which has similar profit level of over RM3.0 billion.

3. YTL is worth RM4.00: dragon328 said that it should be trading at PER of about 20x (to be on par with Sunway) or RM4.00.

My view:

1. Agreed, YTL Power and YTL are both undervalued at the current price level. The article by dragon328 is great, and his speed in producing it is superb!

2. After reporting strong earnings, NVIDIA's share price surged by 16%, breaking some world records. Details can be found in the news below:


(NVDA) Nvidia Tops Meta Record With $277 Billion Jump in Value - Bloomberg

I think the price direction will follow NVIDIA's for both YTL and YTLPower.

3. If you think AI and Data Centers are already over just because YTL and YTLPower have increased significantly, you may be assuming that the AI and Data Center businesses have already peaked. This is similar to 30 years ago when Microsoft Office began revolutionizing how computers work; some people were saying, 'Oh, Microsoft's share price has already risen significantly, let's go back to using typewriters.
