Profitability

The golden rule of investing in value stock is the profitability of the company. Although that might not be the case from some market leader, but commonly, a company needs to be profitable before it could reward shareholders. So, is ARBB profitable? Let’s take a look at their 5 years revenue and net profit trend.

Revenue

FYE2016 – RM35.0 million

FYE2017 – RM11.4 million

FYE2018 – RM15.3 million

FYE2019 – RM102.6 million

FYE2020 – RM219.5 million

1QFY2021 – RM49.5 million

For those who are new to ARBB, the increase in revenue is mainly caused by a shift in core business model. ARBB had evolved from a traditional lumber upstream player to an enterprise solution provider as well as IoT player. But again, revenue doesn’t prove anything. What about their bottom line?

Net Profit After Tax

FYE2016 – (RM15.6 million)

FYE2017 – (RM3.6 million)

FYE2018 – RM4.2 million

FYE2019 – RM32.8 million

FYE2020 – RM42.9 million

1QFY2021 – RM6.8 million

It seems like the turnaround of core business from timber to a technology company had really paid off. But unfortunately, the company suffered a minor setback in their 1Q results due to lagged overview of the market. The next quarter is likely to be stumped by the Movement Control Order too. However, based on their performance since FYE2018, I believe there is a good chance for them to back on track for growth.

let's compile the questions and ask it on AGM, sure these are the constructive questions that can help ARBB grow further!

meanwhile some other counter even have board of directors resign out of the blue, so act this is nothing new

any sector oso same lor, you dont like the service, you will change and let other do lor , nothing significant to the company oso

Given that the orderbook replenishment falls within our expectations, we made no changes to our earnings forecast, pending their 1Q22 quarterly results release in coming weeks.

Therefore, we maintained our BUY recommendation on KGB with an unchanged target price of RM2.10.
We derive our target price by assigning targeted P/E multiple of 28.0x to FY22f EPS of 7.5 sen.

The assigned targeted P/E multiple is slightly above with the valuations of the technology sector that is trading at 25.3x for 2022f. The slight premium is justifiable due to KGB’s niche business model.

Risks to our recommendation and target price include weaker-than-expected targeted orderbook replenishment of RM700.0m for FY22f.

Any slowdown in semiconductor sales may dampen the large scale UHP projects delivery to China and Singapore, given that the UHP segment plays an integral role towards the total revenue contribution and earnings growth.

hahahaha sry cant help coz its funny seeing dicky tp everytime hahaha

Dicky xiaojiji 5cm for real!

neonstrife article i dont see any issue, whereas you, lack of basic courtesy, name shaming, empty-can opinion, buat buta repeat questions like Alzheimer, 25 pages of PURE ARBB bias comments,

pls have some sense of shame, go and hide yourself in a cave

uhhh, this joker still here ?

出席先前分析汇报会得知，自升式（JU）钻井平台工作的时间表后，我们估计Velesto能源末季钻井平均使用率为77%，比先前预测的70%高，因为进行中钻井工作时间，应该会比预期来得长。

尽管当季有可能录得盈利，但我们出于谨慎考量，没有将末季财测改为盈利，因为该公司存有难以预测且持久的营运成本压力。

若钻井工作因确诊员工而拖累，成本会变得非常高昂，因为船员薪水持续累积，且人手短缺意味现有钻井船员需延长逗留时间，就必须给出补偿。

由于无法招募外国船员，该公司本地其他钻井平台经理不得加大工时，提高工资以弥补离职者工作空缺。

因此，我们预料防疫成本与薪金调账，会在明后财年持续带来压力。

不过，我们相信下财年钻井使用率可达70%，故维持财测、“守住”评级和14仙目标价。

DIY open more and more and more

Exactly why u know nothing , because name shaming is all you poor jackaass have :)

Kah Fui is a good name, and it doesnt even rhym with kaput, check your sense , dont act so desperately pathetic

moneymoney no one can force anyone to INVEST, you do or dont it's all your choice, there's nothing wish or dont wish all based on each individual preference and trading style, if its not for you, then its not for you, read again before writing something make urself look like a complete newbie

bunch of amateurs, see result then only invest ??

Invest needs trust, most of us here have it, be it short, medium or even some have patient to go for long term, if you dont have the trust, the you show up here is already contradicting, just like your statement

"If you wish the investor to INVEST into these company show us the result, action speak louder than words"
laughable statement, gonna pin it here to show your amateur statement

你怕它不会起啊？

those monkeys that bad mouth and gv bodoooh TP , where are they now ?

Heveaboard is set to resume its uptrend movement as it climbed above the recent high of MYR0.565 on improved trading volume – marking a new YTD high, after breaching above the MYR0.565 immediate resistance on stronger volume – printing a “higher high” bullish pattern. The uptrend which started on 21 Mar may persist until the stock reaches MYR0.60, before marking the MYR0.64 resistance. Conversely, the stock may reverse direction if it falls below the MYR0.54 support, as it forms a “lower low” bearish structure.

gg where did all the money go ?

this penny abit susah, no big player movement

everyday make noise wont help, behind the scene people are working hard and it's not panadol active fast instant effect

working towards Nasdaq listing is good, got ambition, investors need this

line would you mind to pay them a visit and make a summary report for all our sake?

much appreciate

HAHAHAHAHA anyone actually earn 25% now hahahaha

lai break DUIT RAYA before i go back hometown pls

damnm, long time no experience Roller Coaster d hahahaha

quiet day

hater confirm, 20 full pages arbb,

sry i mean, enthusiast

many disgusting people nowadays, GURU everywhere, this GIF i found them they are still new, so consider fresh leaf, too bad in stock market, YOU DONT listen to fresh leaf , money matter

annoying af, type something of your own, dont be lazy

Good123, stop spamming, tq very much

go study B2B, B2C business model, i've seen comment above which is already answered

take a day off, stop commenting and start to actually sit down and think, while waiting, im pretty they are working and doing something to benefit them, benefit us , we should have the very basic of patient level

everyday cry here cry there is really pointless

The problem now is , you always have your own mindset of how people should run their business (which is not entirely wrong), first of all you said youre not investor, but u keep wan people show this show that to you, u keep saying Public want this, Public want that, but at the end, you're the ONLY noisy here

if you have such ambition in ARBB, you really shud apply a job post in ARBB, climb higher until you can tell the boss yourself about all your "YOU SHOULD....." this and that

boss must have their reason to reveal or hide business related news and info, but people still buying still holding plus i dont think the boss need to follow any of our way to run and do their business of course they will do what best for the company
