Wow, didn't know your loss in Red Chips counters. I have cautioned people here to avoid China counters. Most of them have faked BS & P/L all dressed up to cheat investors. Another big flop for KLSE to attract China counter to list here and it in fact attracted mostly "scam" companies.

Don't be too confident. What you do think is cheap today may be deemed expensive tomorrow. That is how most investors are caught with unrealized losses. The market is influenced by many factors. Foremost it is demand & supply that determine the price. Perception of value can sometimes be misleading.

Summary of Gamuda strength & future prospects.
Strengths:

Strong track record: Gamuda has a long and successful history of delivering major infrastructure projects in Malaysia and abroad. This gives them a competitive advantage in winning new contracts.
Diversification: Gamuda is not just focused on construction, but is also involved in property development, renewable energy, and other sectors. This diversification helps to mitigate risk and provides potential for growth in new areas.
Financial strength: Gamuda has a strong financial position, with a healthy order book and manageable debt levels. This gives them the resources to invest in new projects and take advantage of opportunities.
Technological innovation: Gamuda is committed to using innovative technologies to improve the efficiency and quality of its work. This includes technologies like building information modeling (BIM) and modular construction.
Experienced management team: Gamuda has a team of experienced and qualified managers who are able to navigate the challenges of the construction industry and make sound business decisions.

Weaknesses

Reliance on government infrastructure spending: Gamuda's success is heavily tied to government spending on infrastructure projects. As the article highlights, the Malaysian government's focus on subsidies and tight fiscal position could constrain infrastructure spending in the future, impacting Gamuda's order book and revenue.

Exposure to overseas markets: While Gamuda's expansion overseas provides growth opportunities, it also exposes them to different risks and challenges in each market. These can include variations in project margins, regulatory environments, and political stability.

Thin margins in certain markets: The article mentions that Gamuda faces lower margins in Australia due to high overheads and risk-averse clients. This could limit their profitability in certain overseas markets.

Competition in the construction sector: The construction sector is generally competitive, with both local and international players vying for projects. Gamuda needs to maintain its competitive edge in terms of efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and technological innovation to secure new contracts.

Dependence on project delivery partnerships: Gamuda's involvement in the Penang LRT project, for example, relies on being the project delivery partner (PDP). If the government decides to appoint a different entity, it could impact Gamuda's revenue and future prospects in that project.

Potential environmental concerns: Some of Gamuda's projects, such as the Penang South Islands reclamation project, have faced criticism from environmental groups. The company needs to be mindful of environmental considerations and ensure its projects adhere to sustainable practices.

It's important to note that these are potential weaknesses based on the available information. Gamuda has taken steps to address some of these challenges, such as diversifying its portfolio and expanding overseas. However, it's crucial to be aware of these potential risks when evaluating Gamuda's business model.
Future prospects:

Growth opportunities overseas: With the Malaysian infrastructure market facing challenges, Gamuda is likely to continue to focus on expanding its operations overseas, particularly in countries like Australia and Taiwan.
Renewable energy: Gamuda is well-positioned to capitalize on the growing demand for renewable energy, with its experience in hydropower and its investment in solar energy.

Public-private partnerships: The Malaysian government is increasingly looking to the private sector to invest in infrastructure projects. Gamuda's experience and financial strength make it a prime candidate for these partnerships.

Challenges: Gamuda faces some challenges in the future, such as the potential for rising interest rates, political uncertainty, and competition from other construction companies.
However, its strengths and experience should help it to overcome these challenges and continue to be a successful company.
Overall, Gamuda is a strong company with a bright future. Its strengths in track record, diversification, financial strength, and technological innovation give it a competitive advantage in the construction industry. While there are some challenges ahead, Gamuda's future prospects are positive.

Why less construction jobs in Malaysia?

Bard's analysis of Gamuda CEO, Datuk Lin Yun Ling, where he expressed several concerns about the Malaysian government's spending resources in the article:

High Dependence on Subsidies: Lin criticizes the government's heavy reliance on subsidies, particularly for fuel and essential items. He argues that these subsidies artificially suppress prices, leading to stagnant wages and hindering private investment in infrastructure projects. He believes that targeted subsidies and price adjustments are necessary to incentivize private sector participation and drive economic growth.

Impact on Infrastructure Spending: Due to the high allocation of budget towards subsidies, Lin observes a decline in funding for major infrastructure projects. He fears that this trend could continue, further impacting the construction sector and economic development.

Political Will vs. Reality: Lin questions the government's commitment to making difficult but necessary changes, suggesting that short-term political goals often take precedence over long-term economic well-being. He emphasizes the need for a shift towards greater transparency and prioritizing common sense and reality over political expediency.

Consequences of Low Wages: He points out that artificially low wages, partly due to price controls, make Malaysia less attractive for private investments. He argues that higher wages, driven by market forces and reduced subsidies, would not only benefit citizens but also attract private capital for infrastructure development.

Examples: Lin uses examples from Vietnam and Taiwan to illustrate how focusing on subsidies can hinder wage growth and economic development. He contrasts these countries with Malaysia, where wages have stagnated despite rapid economic expansion.

Overall, Lin paints a concerning picture of the Malaysian government's spending priorities and its impact on infrastructure development and economic growth. He urges the government to reconsider its reliance on subsidies, prioritize long-term economic well-being, and create an environment conducive to private sector investment.

There will be divi payment for the next financial year as EPF needs to pay divi to its contributors ie as long as MBSB makes profits in every quarter. Investors should focus on collecting the share when it is cheap. The end game is to beat the FD rate when you buy and sell & collecting divi. In the short & medium term, the price of MBSB is bearish until the fundamentals can convince punters to buy.

mbsb management did work very hard, bought a bank, get a bank license, bought Midf, spending lot of money and expenditure on all the acquisitions. like you buy a piece of land for cultivating palm oil. it will take you 5years to see the profit. this year you were paid with 8,5,sen div, after the bank acquisition, are you not satisfied ?

LLC, this is what Kenanga does to make more money, you buy an MBSB call warrant at 88 sen to bet against Kenanga, how can you win? You go with what Kenanga expect MBSB to be at 63 sen not for you to bet against it. Kenanga got more buying power. This is the call warrant game if you dare to buy in. You can only win when the call warrant issuer reads the future price movement wrongly. I would not think Kenanga as an issuer would read it wrongly, before the call warrant is issued they would have gotten information about any future news or corporate action that would have caused the price to be bullish until the expiration of the warrant.
Loy Loy Cheong
Kenanga has zero credibility in MBSB, on one hand they are pushing out and is selling call warrant at 88sen and on the other hand valuating MBSB at 63sen, contradicting themselves...those listening to K really has got to get their head checked.

Tajuddin Pasir Salak is out of UMNO & this company is also down as a contractor. Chinese family company. Used to get government jobs. NAPS has declined by 33% since 2020. Podcast in May 2023, now still losses.

Not lost control, he is on cloud nine where the pandemic gave a bountiful harvest of cash, and a reckless decision to set up a glove factory in the USA, perhaps Biden will impose import control of gloves to protect Supermax production in the USA.

May fluctuate in a bad market but will rebound in the long run. Most banks were badly hit due to the pandemic and government social policies. Price swings are opportunities to accumulate, and so does disposing when it is overvalued.

Good morning, some punters want fast cash. I think this is not the counter for fast cash. PBB is also not a counter for fast growth. It is for pensioners who either had the option to keep in EPF, buy PBB (hopeful that it can provide better returns than EPF in the long run) or let it sit in FD for miserable interest rate for a long time.

Performance for PBB in the 3rd quarter is quite good in the current economic slowdown. Looks like Ah Lek is keeping the cash flow for last quarter's final divi?

Negative NAPS at 2.01, it kept on increasing, does it make sense that this counter will be released from PN17?

Hi Mr OTB, your Hiap teck moving up again any advice on this?

Surprising profit due to cost cutting, and going forward anticipated better performance due to higher sales as predicted by TA is more of speculation. Why want to put your bet in glove sectors when other counters like banking & retail stocks are better performers.

Anybody makes money from this counter by hit and run, as the price sank. Sure very tight price spread.

Possible but Divi would still be 5 sen at next Q.

Good evening owners of glove companies & funds caught in glove counters are speculating that the glove industries will recover at the end of 2024 or rather last quarter of 2024. Far from it, if we take into account the rising costs of material & transport as well the low turnover of these companies, they can hardly break even with the stiff ASP.

Good morning, another Q of bad results for TG, the future of the glove counter is worsening. Now is not the time to hear cock N bull stories of glove company owners.

Wow 1 bill over liabilities, any disposal could cause losses, since having bank loans for the properties etc?
In a filing, MBSB said five of its companies in the property development business will be transferred to a corporate share trustee, while disposal of the loans — carrying a book value of RM279 million — shall be settled in cash and on a deferred basis.

The five companies had combined negative net liabilities of RM1.105 billion as at end-2022, the filing showed.

LLC is confused. At the current price, he said it is a steal but he is selling it all. Looks like he still loved MBSB, just frustrated to let it go. For those still waiting to buy more let it move to below 59 sen and pick it up. At its current price, it is expensive. At current PE of 11.85 is high. PE below 10 is just nice to buy. PE for PBB is currently 12 and Alliance Bank is only 8.9.

Glove counters are not expected to recover until 2025 or another worldwide pandemic starts, whichever comes first.

As I always say, get Stanley to distribute all available cash as dividends. Consolidate its shares and moved on, later got no money call for rights. It will be the most tactful decision.

PBB pays dividends 3 times a year. 1st Qtrs. no divi.

Will receive another dividend on Dec since PBB is doing quite well?

LLC, all your comments are devoted to MBSB and previously CIMB. Is this your only portfolio?

KUALA LUMPUR (Aug 29): Glove maker Supermax Corp Bhd posted an annual net loss of RM149.45 million for its financial year ended June 30, 2023 (FY2023), against an annual net profit of RM718.91 million in FY2022, as earnings were weighed by lower sales and average selling price (ASP) for gloves, amid persistent oversupply in the market.

With the latest annual loss of RM149.45 million, it recorded a cumulative loss per share of 5.67 sen, as opposed to a cumulative earnings per share of 27.26 sen in FY2022 previously. Annual revenue was RM821.86 million, down 69.42% from RM2.69 billion previously, the group's filing with Bursa Malaysia showed.

It closed its FY2023 with a quarterly net loss of RM7.17 million for the fourth quarter ended June 30, 2023, marking the group’s third straight loss-making quarter — albeit with net loss narrowing from RM39.92 million in 3QFY2023 and RM108.07 million in 2QFY2023. It recorded a loss per share of 0.27 sen in 4QFY2023, as opposed to an earnings per share of 0.74 sen in 4QFY2022, when the group made a net profit of RM19.53 million.

LLC would be disappointed, you can expect his rant over MBSB again.
