actually they not necessary to revalue the land. KSL is the property which has highest net profit margin. I suppose this is because their cost for the land is cheap and hence their net profit margin is high when there is new launch.
KSL profit margin is very high because of low land price. Landed house land cost itself already take up 30% of GDV. If land cost for KSL is 10% of GDV, just from land itself already make 20% profit.
Not only DC and whatever hype there is now on property counters of Johor. When the HSR eventually happens, and it will, all the property counters will leap up like crazy. So holders of KSL, keep your jewels and add to it.
No idea what kind of mathematics is this. Sounds more like Scam-matics. ——————————————— Suppose you buy 1,000 shares of KSL at the current price. KSL’s price is low compared to its earnings and other similar companies. If you buy 1,000 shares of KSL at RM1.84 = RM1,840 If the price goes up by 50% (close the P/E gap) = RM7,250 That is more than double your money.
Totally my bad on that one – thanks for catching it! I had a typo in my previous post. What I meant was that if KSL's P/E ratio matches half the average P/E of its peers, not a 50% of the price.
So, here's the deal: If you buy 1,000 shares of KSL at RM1.84 (costing RM1,840) and KSL's P/E ratio rises to half the average of its peers, the projected stock price would be RM7.25 per share.
Still a pretty sweet deal and more than doubles your investment! Appreciate you pointing out the mistake.
As response to your polite reply, I shall apologise for inappropriate remarks.
I wouldn’t recommend using PE of industry as a whole as comparison. Say a new IPO will probably have far higher PE for their potential. E.g. 50sen for 0.005 annualised profit will put it at PE100 just solely on their prospect, but as the optimism of their earning potential subside, price will eventually fall back to normal valuation.
A more accurate valuation method will be comparing to its relatively similar peers in terms of market cap/earnings. e,g Mahsing. Mahsing making less profit with higher market cap at PE 20. If market values KSL 50% of how they value Mahsing will put KSL at PE10. There is almost 100% upside at current price.
Then question will become, how come market don’t value KSL the same as how they value Mahsing. That will open up different can of worms. _______________________________ Alex_Kho Hey @RJ87,

Thanks for your thoughtful response and insights. You raise some great points about PE ratios and valuation methods, and it's always valuable to consider different perspectives.
I base my selection on my own analysis and metrics, which naturally comes with my own biases. Ultimately, the market will move as it does, and only time will tell how things pan out.
Thanks again for the constructive discussion. We need more of these in the forum rather than just speculative comments.
Net cash and PE about 5. But the controlling shareholders are not sharing profits with you via dividend. This could be due to reasons such as controlling shareholders treat the company’s money are theirs, they seeing recent surge in profits as unsustainable, they reserving ALL cash to buy land and expand, etc.
KSL, a company that dont bother with Investors. It has not given Any Dividend at All !!, in all the years. Compare with Crescendo. Very high Earnings per share of over RM 1/ just for One Quarter. !! Profit was more than normal 10 years of operation. Recently gave 18 cents per share Dividend. Now, giving Bonus of 2 for 1. With 700 over millions worth of sales and enormous profit, this September, will give very good Dividend as can be seen from KMLoong the plantation company with same owner. Still have lots of land in Johor for Development, for Industrial and Commercial, including developments near RTS center. Sure sell like hot cakes. !!!
Minority shareholders need to form a Minority Shareholders Oversight Committee to represent minority interest in KSL Board of Directors. The KSL Chairman and Board if Directors don't care minority shareholder interest.
I m using AdvancedGet for TA. Oscillators(S,M,Long-term 5/17,5/35,10/70), XTL and moving average with offset (S,M,L-term 5/3,8/5,13/8). All indicators show weakness . Be aware of being boiling frogs!
Hi Eggplant, Thank you for the question. Let me start by saying i have been a small shareholder for KSL for many years since the time they use to give 2 lunch vouchers every year at KSL Mall. I believe the Ku Brothers and family have done a great job bullding KSL Holdings through their frugal conservative Management style. Today KSL Holdings stand tall among the well capitalised public company with close to MR 500 millions cash and huge landbanks in Johor plus KSL Malls in JB and Klang despite COVID 19 that bankrupted many companies. That being said, I believe the Chairman and Board of Directors can do more to bring the company to higher level. Currently most analysts agreed the KSL Holdings shares are grossly undervalued. With the PE about 5 and NTA od about RM3.50, how can KSL Holding share be at RM1.95 to Rm2 only? This I cannot understand why the Chairman and Board of Directors are not looking at ways to rectify this. Obviously to increasing the PAT is one way, but there are still so many actions can be taken as suggested by many experts by Mr Koon Yew Yin and few others. Policy for declaring Dividend, under what scenario will the company declare a decent dividend like most companies do. Data Center in JB is booming, what is KSL plan with huge Landbank? Any plan to build data centers? Sometimes I think besides, the Quarterly Results Announcement and Annual Shareholders meeting KSL Holding do no other communication to minority shareholders like us. Is the Chairman and Board of Directors thinks that as Majority Shareholders including their family friends etc, they don't need to care about the other 35% shareholder? This is why I believe the minority shareholders must form this Minority Shareholders Oversight Committee to tell the Ku family we are also KSL Holding owners albeit smaller % than them. I hope this can explain. Tks
Hi cpfam230, it is always a good idea to have MSOC, but the question is who has the money and power to champion this initiative? Perhaps, EPF or KWAP or the big mutual fund shall take a more active minority role in the local listco management by fostering shareholder best practices and "penalise" the bad intended listco.
