Mct through Ayala could also attract rich Filipinos to buy properties here. Ayala also owns the oldest bank in the Philippines, also the second largest
Private placement between 88sen and rm1.28 based at the price paid by Ayala, if privatization tak jadi, share price must rise to this level. Otherwise, Ayala rugi besar, privatization is more likely
100mil + population in the Philippines. 10% Beli properties from MCT Dah cukup, Ayala Ada bank, BPI in the Philippines can finance it or transfer fund for property purchase in Malaysia
Ayala Ada, tak payah peduli technical/graphical analysis :)
Target Price: RM0.365, RM0.385 Last closing price: RM0.330 Potential return: 10.6%, 16.6% Support: RM0.315 Stop Loss: RM0.300 Possibility of breaking out. MCT is attempting for a breakout from its sideways channel. Improving RSI and MACD indicators currently signal reasonable entry level, with anticipation of continuous improvement in both momentum and trend in near term. Should resistance level of RM0.365 be broken, it may continue to lift price higher to subsequent resistance level of RM0.385.
However, failure to hold on to support level of RM0.315 may indicate weakness in the share price and hence, a cut-loss signal.
I think privatisation by Ayala before aug 2020 will occur :)

EXTENSION OF TIME TO COMPLY WITH PUBLIC SHAREHOLDING SPREAD REQUIREMENTS PURSUANT TO PARAGRAPH 8.02(1) OF THE MAIN MARKET LISTING REQUIREMENTS OF BURSA MALAYSIA SECURITIES BERHAD ("EXTENSION OF TIME") (Unless otherwise defined, the definitions set out in the announcements dated 6 February 2018, 21 March 2018, 29 March 2018, 30 May 2018, 24 July 2018, 1 August 2018, 22 November 2018, 17 January 2019, 30 January 2019, 28 May 2019, 8 July 2019, 9 August 2019, 21 November 2019 and 21 January 2020 (“Announcements”) shall apply herein.)
We refer to the Company’s Announcements in relation to the non-compliance of the Required Public Spread pursuant to Paragraph 8.02(1) of the Listing Requirements. The Board of Directors of MCT wishes to announce that the Company received today the approval letter dated 24 February 2020 from the Bursa Securities granting the Company further extension of time of six (6) months until 4 August 2020 to comply with the Required Public Spread.
As at 31 December 2019, the public shareholding spread of the Company was 24.59%. As such, the Company currently does not comply with the Required Public Spread.
To rectify the non-compliance with the Required Public Spread, the Company is exploring various options including:
1. Discussing with the Company’s major shareholders on the possibility of selling-down its shareholding to public shareholders;
2. Engaging with investment banks to identify potential public investors to increase public spread via a private placement; and
3. Intensifying communication with potential investors, analysts, research houses and shareholders to instil investor confidence and create better awareness and understanding of the Company’s business to increase take up of shares while retaining public shareholders in the Company.
The Company will continue to monitor the level of public shareholdings and make the necessary announcement in relation to the status of compliance with the Required Public Spread in accordance with the Listing Requirements.
Either privatisation or the share price must rise for private placement to comply with shareholdings issue. Ayala bought MCT shares between 88sen and rm1.28
I believe MCT is one of the stocks that could double or triple in price when the political situation returns to normalcy or when Ayala announces privatisation if any

Bank Negara cuts key interest rate to 2.50pct MARCH 3, 2020 @ 3:48PM BY NST BUSINESS
Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) KUALA LUMPUR: Bank Negara Malaysia’s Monetary Policy Committee has reduced the Overnight Policy Rate by 25 basis points to 2.50 per cent.
This was the second cut so far this year and was largely in line with economists’ expectations.
In January, Bank Negara reduced the OPR by 25 basis points to 2.75, the lowest since 2011.
The central bank said the latest cut was to provide a more accommodative monetary environment to support economic growth amid price stability and weakened global conditions.
The move means the ceiling and floor rates of the corridor of the OPR are correspondingly reduced to 2.75 per cent and 2.25 per cent respectively.
“Global economic conditions have weakened in the recent period. The ongoing Covid-19 outbreak has disrupted production and travel activity, especially within the region.
“This has also led to greater risk aversion, resulting in tighter financial conditions and a resurgence in financial market volatility,” it said in a statement today.
Bank Negara said downside risks to the global growth outlook had increased, particularly in the near term. However, a number of countries have implemented policy responses.
“With further anticipated policy measures, these actions are expected to mitigate the economic impact of Covid-19.”
Bank Negara said the Malaysian economic growth, particularly in the first quarter, would be affected by the Covid-19 outbreak primarily in the tourism-related and manufacturing sectors.
The weakness in the agriculture sector is also likely to persist in the first quarter.
For 2020, private and public sector activities would be supportive of growth, it added.
“Household spending is expected to grow at a slower pace amid moderate employment and income growth. Investment activity is projected to record a modest recovery, underpinned by ongoing and new projects, both in the public and private sectors.
“The 2020 economic stimulus package will also provide some support to economic activity,” it said, adding that domestic growth was expected to gradually improve in the second half of the year.
Credit profile should be an important factor for investors to look into when they want to make their investment decision. The slumping property market in the past years weighted financial burden on the developers’ balance sheet. Developers like Mah Sing, IJMLand and Ecoworld International have been raising debt via issuance of corporate bonds as they are facing reducing credit facilities from the banks. The tightening of bank funds pushed the developers to bear a higher interest rate to issue corporate bonds. It is not the case for MCT.
We are projecting a 3-year net profit CAGR of 8.7% to MYR120m in FY22, taking into account of the recovery of property market in Malaysia amid the supports of government initiatives. MCT could be valued at RM0.90 assuming 10x P/E on 2022F EPS. We believe the stock deserves to trade on par with the Bursa Malaysia Property Index P/E average of 10x, given its high margin business model, supported by a strong balance sheet.
On top of that, MCT was able to generate a net cash of RM100 million from its operational activities which gave them a boost of their cash management. Besides that, MCT has a historical low net gearing ratio of 0.10x where credit concerns are off the bucket list during this challenging environment.
Overall, MCT has been proactively manage their balance sheet and profitability in a cautious manner while government initiatives on affordable housing could further build up MCT profitability as the company have the margins to cater for affordable property structure. Although affordable housing will impact MCT’s business cost, but there will be extra volumes for them to consistently perform throughout the year.
Despite the current weak market sentiment of property sector and oversupply concerns, profit consistency by MCT in contributing >10% over the past 5 years has shown that the company was able deliver great margins on top of proficient cost saving management in their property development in line with the government budget initiatives for FY2019 in supporting the 1st time house buyer range between RM300k to RM700k.
For YoY profitability, MCT has registered a PAT of RM86 million with an approximate margin of 20% in FY2018 compared to RM80 million with an approximate margin of 14% in FY2017. The main revenue driver in 2018 was mainly due to profit contribution from newly-launched project launched in May 2018, Casawood @ Cybersouth. With existing landmark in Subang Jaya, Cyber Jaya & Dengkil owned by MCT, it is considerably a strategic location for property buyer as there are linkage to several new announced public transport such as LRT3 & MRT2 which could gave a heads up for MCT future property planning. On the other hand, we can expect there are at least two 2 projects at Tropicana Metropark and Tropicana Grande to be launched by this year which in turns to be new unbilled sales for MCT.
Strong backup support from the Property Giant - Ayala Land
In April 2015, Ayala Land emerged in MCT Berhad via a private placement during IPO, six months later it bumped up its shareholdings in MCT to 32.95%.
In early January 2016, Ayala Land emerged as a major shareholder of MCT, buying the stake from MCT’s founders. This brought Ayala Land’s holdings to 50.19% and firmly indicated its control of the local property developer. As per MCT 2018 Annual Report, Ayala Land indirectly owns 66.25% of MCT Stake, which makes them the largest shareholder for MCT Berhad.
Ayala Land is part of the oldest conglomerate in the Philippines’ Ayala Corp with a rich history that can be traced back to the 1800s. It is the biggest property developer in the Philippines with market capitalisation of RM53.69bil. The value of approximately RM54bil also means that Ayala Land is even larger than top 10 property developer in Malaysia combined.
Two weeks ago, Tan Sri Barry Goh has resigned from his non-independent, non-executive directorship with the company.
With the strong ownership structure, it certainly assume an implicit support from the parental company in various aspects (financial and expertise).
Better for Ayala to privatise MCT now than wait till after may 18 before political stability returns as minority shareholders might ask for more thereafter :)
Ayala has hardly any other choice except privatisation because 30 top shareholders possess 99.5% of issued shares plus Ayala acquired MCT shares between 88sen and rm1.28. shareholdings issue tak boleh resolved effectively other than privatisation
Should grab as many shares as possible not in the hand of top 30 shareholders ,99.5% of the issued shares. When Ayala announces privatisation, u guys will become millionaires :)
Possible for goh, the founder to enter the open market to sapu nonstop and later sell to Ayala all the shares he possesses, he sold to Ayala at 88sen and rm1.28 previously. Hope goh sapu in the open market for the 0.5% of MCT issued shares remaining in the open market. Scarcity indeed :)
Retained earnings @31.12.2019 at RM400mil+... can afford cash or share dividend, did not declare... likely reason, privatisation, no need to waste time :)

Ayala should offer at least 0.7 times industry average based on P/B. P/62.57sen = 0.7, Ayala should offer at least ~44sen to all shares not owned for taking MCT private. It could be higher too as MCT is a well managed profitable company.
Ayala acquired MCT shares between 88sen and rm1.28, impossible to place out shares at 22sen now. The best option is to privatise it :)
Note that the 25% free-float requirement would present a possibility of MCT being delisted as Ayala Land could make the necessary application to withdraw its listing status once its shareholding exceeds 75%.
In fact, a compulsory acquisition could also be triggered if Lembaga Tabung Haji (LTH), AIA Bhd and Kumpulan Wang Persaraan (Diperbadankan) were to sell their stakes in MCT to Ayala Land.
LTH, a government-linked pilgrim fund, is a substantial shareholder of MCT with a 10.09% stake, while life insurer AIA and pension fund KWAP have stakes of 3.44% and 2.51% respectively in the company.
If Ayala Land obtains the MCT shares held by the three institutional investors, its shareholding could rise to as high as 90.9%, hence, invoking the compulsory acquisition rule.
“Ayala Land definitely has the financial muscle to raise its stake in MCT, but it remains to be seen if the company will be privatised. In any case, it could place out or sell back some shares on the market if it intends to maintain MCT’s listing status,” says another source familiar with MCT.

The current top 30 shareholders should be willing to cash out if Ayala offers a decent exit price :)
