Seems LRT3 likely to suffer from cost over-run. Previosly as PDP, any cost over-run, just ask the government or Prasarana to top up. But now as a turnkey operator, the risk is with GKent/MRCB. Guess Gkent is the one doing the work but the other partner is a passive partner. Same like many infra projects previously done by Gamuda/MMC. Take a guess which party was doing the actual work whilst the other was just responsible in counting money?

https://www.thestar.com.my/business/business-news/2019/11/21/mrcb-post-lower-q3-profit-sees-pick-up-in-construction-sector

MRCB - The group expects construction progress, including the Light Rail Transit line 3 (LRT 3) project, to pick up pace from the fourth quarter onwards and boost its revenue and operating profits going forward.
"The LRT3 project, which is currently 23%completed, will see the pace of its profit recognition accelerate in line with construction completion by 2024."

A weak 2019 earnings growth paves the way for a stronger 2020 earnings picture, boosting stocks.

Beware - Syndicates sell to push down the prices. Some people got lots of money hidden and can afford to loose.. MOF should have experts or professiionals to deal with the sharks. Sooner or later the crooks will be caught.

@RainT I deleted because I was trying to make a point but after reading it, find it to be a little insensitive especially to those who invested in this counter - so I just remove it.

FCF yield has dropped 5.6%, their PEG (price to earnings) now at 1.26 which a mildly bad. Yes they are using cash flow to stabilize the market, so selling eases a little. However, Q2Q has declined 12.47% and their digital metering still at infant stage. That is why analyst are lowering the price target each quarter. Upside, there is a technical support at 0.98. But once this support is broken,...er...

Current price is very close to NTA.
Cash rich company and High Net Asset value.
Company actual worth with Goodwill is already more than current share price.
Company started since 1936, every year making profit and with good dividend yield.
Why keep droping ?

They key factor of growth is moat! Moat is the reason what kept Nike, Google and etc up. With good moat, revenues should either sideline or show signs of of growth. If you chart Gkent's revenue, it is a yo-yo not a linear upwards. Revenues tells the story of growth not profitability. Profitability tells the story of managing costing.

Another factor also is China is competing in the same metering metering. Don't believe me? Just type this in google: Water Meter Alibaba. Tell me where's the moat? China even recently created a digital prepaid water meter which automatically cuts off after limit is hit.

P/E doesn't mean a thing these days. Google P/E is about 28 and yet, the company is constantly has reported strong growth. So that brings it down to only 2 strong point. Net cash and a hopeful construction revenues plus a dividend to keep customer's happy. With this 2 points, you can tell pretty much the kind of Investors here.

it's relatively cheap price to enter. if you believe LRT3 can have a decent profit for the next few years.

just collect and keep.
