MBSB 1Q net profit triples to RM316.79m on allowance writeback for impaired loans
KUALA LUMPUR (May 28): Malaysia Building Society Bhd’s (MBSB) net profit more than tripled to RMRM316.79 million or 5.33 sen per share for its first quarter ended March 31, 2018 (1QFY18), from RM101.32 million or 1.75 sen per share, due to allowance write back for impaired loans.
In 1QFY18, MBSB reported an allowance write back for impaired loans of RM154.4 million, compared with an allowance charge for impaired loans of RM167.92 million.
Its quarterly revenue was marginally higher by 0.47% to RM815.04 million, compared with RM101.32 million, the group said in a filing with Bursa Malaysia today.
Meanwhile, MBSB’s gross income from corporate loans and financing in the current period was higher compared to the previous year's corresponding period, due to continued growth of corporate loans and financing assets base.
MBSB's corporate disbursements amounted to RM1.1 billion in 1QFY18, representing 75% of the total quarter's disbursement of RM1.5 billion, the filing added.
“The expansion in corporate financing is in tandem with the Group’s commitment to achieve an optimum asset composition between retail and corporate mix of 70:30,” MBSB said in a separate statement today.
Conversely, the cost to income ratio (CIR) regressed to 26.71% from 22.62% (4Q17) and 19.72% (1Q17), MBSB noted.
“We had expected the rise in costs due to the merger exercise, as well as due to higher funding costs. Yet, it is worth highlighting that the CIR remains considerably better than the industry’s average of 49.7%,” its group president and chief executive officer Datuk Seri Ahmad Zaini Othman said.
Going forward, the group said it expects its prospects for the year to be satisfactory, barring any unforeseen circumstances.
From April 2, 2018, MBSB will continue to maintain its conventional receivables and perform conversion of these receivables into Islamic receivables over the next three years, which will be subsequently vested into MBSB Bank.
Any residual receivables that are not converted will either be redeemed by the account holders or disposed off to a third party, the group added.
“We continue to build up MBSB Bank’s capabilities, following the corporate exercise. We have realigned the Group’s business, policies and operations and continue to make investments to upgrade and enhance the information technology infrastructure and delivery channels,” Zaini said.
“As a new Islamic banking group in the industry, the group looks forward to expanding its products and services, which include trade finance, wealth management and internet and mobile banking, to cater to various segments of our customers and depositors,” Zaini added.
At noon break, shares of MBSB were up two sen or 1.72% at RM1.18, with 1.95 million shares traded, for a market capitalisation of RM7.13 billion.

WAH SEONG CORPORATION BERHAD (5142.KL) Shares Needle Moving -1.96%
Shares of WAH SEONG CORPORATION BERHAD (5142.KL) are moving on volatility today -1.96% or -0.03 from the open. The BM listed company saw a recent bid of 1.50 and 2576400 shares have traded hands in the session.
Many investors may strive to be in the stock market when the bulls are running and out of the market when the bears are in charge. Investors often use multiple strategies when setting up their portfolios. Some may rely solely on fundamental analysis, technical analysis, or a combination of both. Investing can be an extremely tough process. Individual investors often strive to gather and analyze vast amounts of information in order to make educated decisions. Often times, investors may have initial success in the stock market, and then things may turn sour. Confidence may be necessary to make the tougher decisions, but overconfidence may lead to an underperforming portfolio. Overconfidence may cause the investor to make poor decisions because they are relying too heavily on personal interpretations.
Taking a deeper look into the technical levels of WAH SEONG CORPORATION BERHAD (5142.KL), we can see that the Williams Percent Range or 14 day Williams %R currently sits at -77.78. The Williams %R oscillates in a range from 0 to -100. A reading between 0 and -20 would point to an overbought situation. A reading from -80 to -100 would signal an oversold situation. The Williams %R was developed by Larry Williams. This is a momentum indicator that is the inverse of the Fast Stochastic Oscillator.
WAH SEONG CORPORATION BERHAD (5142.KL) currently has a 14-day Commodity Channel Index (CCI) of -104.45. Active investors may choose to use this technical indicator as a stock evaluation tool. Used as a coincident indicator, the CCI reading above +100 would reflect strong price action which may signal an uptrend. On the flip side, a reading below -100 may signal a downtrend reflecting weak price action. Using the CCI as a leading indicator, technical analysts may use a +100 reading as an overbought signal and a -100 reading as an oversold indicator, suggesting a trend reversal.
The RSI, or Relative Strength Index, is a widely used technical momentum indicator that compares price movement over time. The RSI was created by J. Welles Wilder who was striving to measure whether or not a stock was overbought or oversold. The RSI may be useful for spotting abnormal price activity and volatility. The RSI oscillates on a scale from 0 to 100. The normal reading of a stock will fall in the range of 30 to 70. A reading over 70 would indicate that the stock is overbought, and possibly overvalued. A reading under 30 may indicate that the stock is oversold, and possibly undervalued. After a recent check, WAH SEONG CORPORATION BERHAD’s 14-day RSI is currently at 48.59, the 7-day stands at 39.73, and the 3-day is sitting at 32.25.
For further review, we can take a look at another popular technical indicator. In terms of moving averages, the 200-day is currently at 1.10, the 50-day is 1.43, and the 7-day is resting at 1.54. Moving averages are a popular trading tool among investors. Moving averages can be used to help filter out the day to day noise created by other factors. MA’s may be used to identify uptrends or downtrends, and they can be a prominent indicator for detecting a shift in momentum for a particular stock. Many traders will use moving averages for different periods of time in conjunction with other indicators to help gauge future stock price action.
Currently, the 14-day ADX for WAH SEONG CORPORATION BERHAD (5142.KL) is sitting at 24.77. Generally speaking, an ADX value from 0-25 would indicate an absent or weak trend. A value of 25-50 would support a strong trend. A value of 50-75 would identify a very strong trend, and a value of 75-100 would lead to an extremely strong trend. ADX is used to gauge trend strength but not trend direction. Traders often add the Plus Directional Indicator (+DI) and Minus Directional Indicator (-DI) to identify the direction of a trend.
When dealing with the stock market, investors may seek to make trades that will limit regret and create a sense of pride. Often times, investors may be challenged with trying to figure out the proper time to sell winners or let go of losers. Of course, nobody wants to sell a winner if it looks like there may be more profits to be had. On the other hand, nobody wants to hold on to a loser for so long that severe losses pile up. Investors often need to assess their own appetite for risk. Some may be able to stomach large swings on a daily basis. Others may not be able to take the volatility when dealing with riskier investments. Risk decisions may be made on past outcomes, and investors who have experienced previous profits and gains may be more likely to take a bigger risk in the future. Those who have only seen substantial losses may be more risk adverse in the future.

KUALA LUMPUR: Hibiscus Petroleum Bhd’s net profit for the second quarter 2018 (Q2 2018) ended Dec 31, 2017, increased to RM11.04 million from RM10.66 million recorded in the previous corresponding period.
Quarterly revenue increased from RM62.83 million in Q2 2017 to RM76.01 million registered in the current quarter, mainly attributed to the higher average realised oil price of US$62.93 per barrel in the current quarter versus US$51.54 per barrel, previously.
In a filing with Bursa Malaysia today, Hibiscus said the increased profit was, in part, due to lower quarterly expenses.
Moving forward, Hisbiscus said it would focus on completing the 50 per cent acquisition in the 2011 North Sabah Enhanced Oil Recovery Production Sharing Contract from Sabah Shell Petroleum Company Ltd, by March 31, 2018.
“Post completion of the North Sabah transaction, we will immediately focus on lowering unit production costs.
“We will also undertake a range of activities to ensure seamless integration of the North Sabah operations with our existing work processes and performance based operating culture,” it said.
The company announced on Feb 7, 2017 that it planned to increase the Anasuria Cluster production by 5,000 barrels of oil per day by 2020 with the GUA-P2 side-track drilling. – Bernama

lets read this past article.. get some insights

KUALA LUMPUR, May 12 — Barisan Nasional (BN) could gain crucial insight into the interests of young voters via Media Prima Berhad’s acquisition of Rev Asia Holdings Berhad, analysts said.
Rev Asia is the country’s biggest digital media platform, with a monthly audience that is five million strong and mostly young, and would give the coalition the advantage of being able to identify trends and key issues with which to better tailor its messaging for the demographic.
Umno, BN’s dominant component and owner of Media Prima, said last year that six million youth voters, or close to 50 per cent of the total electorate, are expected to cast their ballot in the next polls, arguably making them the next “kingmakers”.
But despite the platform’s potential to help BN bridge communications with the young, this will not necessarily translate to automatic support, pundits told Malay Mail Online.
“The data and digital footprint from Rev Asia’s products will certainly allow BN to understand the Malaysian youths better and identify the key trends in the demographics, most importantly the Chinese and urban English-speaking communities,” said Asrul Hadi Abdullah Sani, analyst at public policy consulting firm Bower Group Asia.
“However, will the online traffic translate into votes? It’s very unlikely,” he added.
Data-intensive targeted messaging is a relatively new idea to most parts of the world, including Malaysia.
While some analysts may argue that the recent victory of current United States President Donald Trump proved how a campaign built on database was effective in influencing the presidential election’s outcome, there is no conclusive data yet to suggest that the same strategy could produce similar results elsewhere.
In Malaysia, political ownership of media outlets is common, as are strict laws governing the publication of newspapers and magazines, characteristics that make it difficult for opposition parties to get coverage equal to the establishment.
But with print media numbers moving inversely to the Internet penetration rate, this control is no longer as influential as it once was.
“Even with whatever that has emanated from NST, Utusan have not succeeded in re-aligning the votes [back to BN] although they do have a captive audience,” Datuk Mohamad Abu Bakar, senior analyst with Universiti Malaya, told Malay Mail Online.
Mohamad was referring to New Straits Times and Utusan Malaysia, respectively English and Malay language newspapers that were once the leaders in their segments.
The dwindling sales of both NST and Utusan that are owned by Umno — with the former through Media Prima—are the clearest indicator of how control over media does not necessarily translate to support for the government, Mohammad pointed out.

https://themalaysianreserve.com/2018/01/24/mmc-gamuda-gkent-strong-contender-mrt3/
The MMC Corp Bhd-Gamuda Bhd and George Kent (M) Bhd (GKent) joint venture (JV) is potentially the strongest contender to undertake the proposed Mass Rapid Transit Line 3 (MRT3) project due to the experience and assets needed for the extensive tunnelling works required on the project, according to analysts.
RHB Research Institute Sdn Bhd believes the MMC-Gamuda-GKent consortium is a formidable contender for the lead role, banking on its experience and track record as project delivery partner (PDP) for the MRT1, MRT2 and Light Rail Transit Line 3 (LRT3) lines.
“MMC-Gamuda’s expertise in tunnelling work bodes well for its chances, as 80% of MRT3’s alignment would be underground,” RHB Research noted in a report on Monday.
The consortium members have under their belts experience as the PDP in two prior MRT lines, the LRT3, as well as tunnelling works for MRT1 and MRT2.
Tunnelling experience and the ownership of tunnel-boring machines are key advantages of the MMC-Gamuda-GKent JV, RHB Research added, considering that 80% of works are slated to be underground works and the remain- ing 20% are elevated works.
Project owner, Mass Rapid Transit Corp Sdn Bhd (MRT Corp), announced last week that four consortiums had submitted turnkey tenders with financing plans for the multi-billion ringgit MRT Circle Line as tender submissions closed on Jan 18.
Three out of four submissions comprised consortium of Malaysian companies including Sapura-TIEC Con- sortium, MMC-Gamuda- GKent JV and Pacific-Mudajaya-JEC Consortium.
The sole foreign contender is China Communications Construction Co Ltd-China Communications Construction Co (M) Sdn Bhd JV.
An evaluation will be made by MRT Corp based on the “Best Evaluated Tender” from the three main evaluation criteria — which are technical, financial standing and the financing package.
A recommendation will then be submitted to the Finance Ministry for decision and approval.
The contract is tentatively set to be awarded within the first quarter of 2018.
RHB Research added that the MRT3’s lead contractor would be responsible for both the turnkey tenders, as well as securing the financing for the project.
The financing required is significant with demanding conditions. The winning contractor must fund 90% of the RM40 billion project for 30 years with an eight-year moratorium.
“We understand that the MMC-Gamuda-GKent JV has in place a firm financing arrangement by a group of reputable financial institutions. The consortium members would prefer the financing to be off their balance sheets, acting more as intermediaries between MRT Corp and the financial institutions.
“This is reasonable in our view as MRT Corp remains the owner of the asset, and hence, liabilities should be on their books instead,” RHB Research added.
In terms of financing cost, RHB Research believes it would be difficult to match the 3.25% soft-loan rate for the East Coast Rail Link project, and more likely to be between the 10-year Malaysian Government Securities rate of 3.9% and quasi government bond rates, including Prasarana Malaysia Bhd or DanaInfra Nasional Bhd of 4.5%.
Hong Leong Investment Bank Bhd (HLIBB) also stated that the MMC-Gamuda-GKent JV stands out as the top contender, given its strong confluence of civil and systems track record.
“Track-record-wise, MMC and Gamuda (via a JV) has undertaken the PDP role and tunnelling works for MRT1 and MRT2. Apart from that, they have also partaken in the Northern Double Track and SMART tunnel.
“As for GKent, it previously completed the LRT extension system works and is now undertaking track works for MRT2 and the PDP role for LRT3,” HLIBB noted in a report on Monday.

MMC-Gamuda-George Kent JV top contender for MRT3
PETALING JAYA: The MMC-Gamuda-George Kent joint venture (JV) is the top contender for the mass rapid transit 3 (MRT3) project, according to Hong Leong Investment Bank (HLIB) Research.
HLIB Research said in its report that the JV would offer a strong confluence of civil expertise (through MMC and Gamuda) and systems experience (via George Kent).
“Track record-wise, MMC and Gamuda (via a JV) have undertaken the project development partner (PDP) role and tunnelling works for MRT1 and MRT2.
“They have also built the Northern Double Track and SMART tunnel.
“As for George Kent, it previously completed the LRT extension system works and is now undertaking track works for MRT2 and the PDP role for LRT3,” HLIB Research said.
However, the research house highlighted that the strong track record from the JV was challenged by strong competition from China state-owned construction giant China Communications Construction Co Ltd (CCCC).
“We feel that competition from CCCC would be further heightened, given the funding requirements in the tender equation.
