1. Cscsteel is extremely cash rich 2. An excellent management that reward shareholders 3. Enhanced sale of perodua, proton and other cars by GST removal spur demand for flat steel 4. Weak ringgit made Panasonic exports very competitive worldwide
The worrying issue for investors is not on the revenue side. The company has seen increasing revenue even in FY18 with 9m18 revenue grew at 7.4% vs 9m17. Investors are more worried on the reducing profit margin which fell to only 2.3% in 9m18 vs 4.7% in 9m17. The 3Q18 profit was worse at only RM3mil (margin of only 0.8%) vs 3Q17 of RM14mil which was mainly affected by the surge of cheaper import products into the market. It is expected that the trend to continue unless MITI imposed more safeguards measures. Till then investors of the company will need to be prepared for a lower profit results in the coming quarters. If the issue persists and continue till the end of FY19, PAT of the company would only be around RM12-15mil. At the current share price this would translate to a valuation of 26.5x PE.
The company however has a very strong balance sheet with zero debt which means that the company can face any market headwinds better when compared to its other competitors. At the current share price, it is only trading at a low of 0.5x PB.
If you are looking to diversify your portfolio outside of CSC Steel (due to its earnings uncertainties) I would recommend you to look at MBMR.
MBMR is a direct proxy to Perodua via its 22.6% interest in the company. Valuation is cheap at only 6.9x PE (based on target FY18 profit of RM145mil. 9m profit is already RM106mil). PB is low at only 0.7x BV. 4Q18 results is expected to be higher than 3Q18 and last year's 4Q17.
For FY19 growth will be driven by the still high demand of new Myvi and the newly launched SUV Aruz and also the newly revamp Alza in 2H19. I am projecting a profit to shareholder of RM160 mil for FY19 which at the current price values MBMR at only 6.2x PE.

THE light rail transit line 3 (LRT3) project is back on track with the signing of a novation agreement between Prasarana Malaysia Bhd, MRCB George Kent Sdn Bhd (MRCBGK) and nine work package contractors (WPC) today.
The novation agreement, which is pursuant to the fixed price contract that was signed between Prasarana and MRCBGK on Jan 25, will allow the WPCs to migrate from the previous project delivery partner (PDP) scheme to the fixed price contract scheme.
Under the new arrangement, MRCBGK is now the turnkey contractor while Prasarana takes the role as the project’s employer. The fixed price contract for LRT3 was drawn up in line with instruction by the Ministry of Finance on July 12, 2018, to reduce the project cost to RM16.63 billion.
The signing of the novation agreement was witnessed by Finance Minister Lim Guan Eng, Transport Minister Anthony Loke Siew Fook and Federal Territories Minister Khalid Abd Samad.
Prasarana was represented by its president and group CEO Datuk Mohamed Hazlan Mohamed Hussain, while MRCBGK was represented by its LRT3 project director Patrick Hwang.
The nine other companies signing the agreement are infrastructure WPCs comprise of Mudajaya Corporation Sdn Bhd, WCT Construction Sdn Bhd, Gabungan Strategik Sdn Bhd, APEX Communications Sdn Bhd, Rahimkon Sdn Bhd, Sunway Construction Sdn Bhd, Pembinaan Jaya Zira Sdn Bhd, SN Akmida and Trans Resources Corporation Sdn Bhd.
Connecting Bandar Utama to Johan Setia in Klang, the competition date for the project under the new agreement is set for February 28, 2024.
The length of the new line is maintained at 37.6km, but the number of stations has been reduced from 26 stations to 20 stations. The five stations are listed as future stations. Park and ride facilities were reduced from 6,000 to 2,300 bays and the number of trains were revised from 42 sets of 6-car trains to 22 sets of 3-car trains.
This has allowed the final project cost to be reduced from RM31.65 billion to RM16.63 billion.
Datuk Mohamed Hazlan expressed confidence that Prasarana, MRCBGK and its partners will be able to meet the project’s new deadline.
“With the commitment and the drive of the new government for a better Malaysia, we are very confident that we can meet this deadline. To do this, however, we hope all our partners with the LRT3 project especially MRCBGK and the WPCs would work closely and amicably with us at Prasarana to meet our deliverables,” he said.
