Malaysian Generations Builder (MGB) has undergone several corporate restructuring exercises before it concentrated on building affordable residential homes. Post-2017, the Group consistently replenished its orderbook by at least RM700m on average per annum and has maintained low gearing for the past 5 years. While the demand for affordable housing continues to outstrip supply, we think MGB is well positioned to benefit from this market segment. All in all, we like MGB for its niche in building affordable homes via the usage of Industrialised Building System (IBS) precast concrete products, coupled with a few potential jobs from Kertih Terengganu Industrial Park (KTIP) and SANY Alameriah. Effective Feb 2021, the Group adopted a formal dividend policy to pay at least 20% of net profit annually. Thus, we expect the Group to declare a total of 1.7sen dividend per share in FY23F. We initiate coverage on MGB with an Outperform call and a SOTP derived TP of RM1.03, translating to an implied PER of 8x. We believe the PE ascribed is justifiable as it is within comparable market capitalizations against its peers. As for the property segment, we applied no discount to its RNAV, which is justifiable given that its projects are mainly affordable homes located in lower density areas.
