No intention to pour cold water but as what the writer also mentioned, it's still at Due D stage now. Do consider the risk, the recent saga of Cocoaland serve as good example.

If Gadang able to stay above 1.50 (breakout from downtrend since mid 2014) for next few days, it will be darling stock from now onwards till next year :D
Remind me of how Mitrajaya started to fly since 2H2014 ;)

I really wonder is there a need to discredit honest effort of an accountant / financial analyst. Najib keeps saying 1MDB is not an issue because its Asset > Liabilities, in businessman point of view so we should all believe that and say what TheEdge did is all bull shit?
(PS: If I not mistaken KC is not an accountant)

The Company is saving its cash for debt repayment. Dividend payout will definitely increase once debt is substantially reduced.

Haha.. the article has a small paragraph (last paragraph) on Gadang. Anyway, it's not easy to clinch Pengerang or MRT job but Gadang got both of them and executed well. With over RM200b projects in the pipeline, I think no worry yet :)

Note 15 of the latest quarterly account:-
http://www.bursamalaysia.com/market/listed-companies/company-announcements/4873945
"Other income was higher by RM1.1 million or 96%, primarily due to higher exchange gain by
RM0.9 million, arising from an appreciation of US Dollars against Malaysian Ringgit on US Dollars
denominated receivables."
However profit attributable to owner has increased to RM10.4m from RM6.6m. Clearly forex only plays contribute very little. Why keep harping on forex? Swt...

EPS has increased substantially even though profit stays flat is due the acquisition of the remaining shares of a subsidiary.
http://www.bursamalaysia.com/market/listed-companies/company-announcements/4736089
100% profit of the subsidiary is now belong to KESM (you can see there is no more "minority interest" in balance sheet / "non-controlling interest" in income statement).
Forex only play a small part. Cheers :)

Please take note that OVSB is a service provider - offer Project Management to property developer. It does not bear property construction risk.
"Announcement on 28th Sept 2015, Para 2.2:-
The Gross Development Value for the development is approximately RM164 million and OVSB was awarded the project management based on the following remuneration of:
(i) RM10 million payable progressively based on stage of work done of the development; and
(ii) balance thereof upon practical completion of the development.
Total remuneration for the project management agreement shall equate to sixty percentum
(60%) of the net profit generated from the development."
To me this is rather vague, but I guess it should mean OVSB is gonna earn fixed(?) management fees of RM10m (but payable progressively) plus incentive (total capped at 60% of net profit generated).
If RM10m is fixed management fee, then I dont think this acquisition is detrimental to Penta at all (purchase consideration is RM5.78m only).

Every counter will have its fair chance of attracting trader. but one would definitely short chaning himself if see Gadang as trading opportunity only.
To have profit, dividend, and cash balance grow at the same time for past few years is no easy task. Be patient and for this gem to be uncovered :)

KESM will continue report great result even if it only manages to maintain same amount of sales in next 3 quarters :)

Not to forget there is also similar M&A where company purchases remaining shares of its subsidiary (especially a profitable subsidiary). For instance Latitude.
Which will be the next? Hint: A company involves in semi conductor industry.

Very sad to hear that. With or without 1MDB news, TheEdge has proven it is the best financial magazine in Malaysia. Those who read TheEdge and also happen to be active investing in KLCI can testify to that.
Hopefully its website will not be blocked.

KESM Test focus on testing services for microchips used in luxury automotive. Though I couldn't find out who is the end user, but in general luxury car sales are expected to register satisfactory growth due to low oil price. The few german car brands had achieved good sales in 1H2015.
http://www.nytimes.com/2015/07/03/business/german-luxury-car-brands-dominate-and-look-to-extend-their-lead.html?_r=1
The best thing about the corporate exercise is KESM bought the remaining shares at valuation of PE6.4 only! The earning accretive deal couple with good growth prospect, how much do you think the share should worth?

Yep downside for this definitely is very limited (barring unforeseen circumstances). Gadang is a contractor awarded both MRT and Pengerang job last year and did reasonably well. Given the decent track record Gadang should be able to replenish its order book soon given MRT2 work starting next year (SunCon claims there is more than 100b worth of job in coming years). No worry yet :)
By the way, the property division could surprise us at the meantime :D

IMO invest in KESM now is similar to buying Latitude when it was <RM4. Many people think Latitude is laggard back then compared to other furniture counters. What they don't see is the 'slowly but surely' style of management.
Why Latitude's EPS grow much faster than revenue growth in 2014? KESM just did the same thing. KESM's EPS is poised to grow at least 30% next year even if revenue stay flat* :)
*PS: the business is expected to grow steadily as well
