The company’s financial performance is actually not that bad. They have always been able to deliver a profit of RM60mil to RM80mil to shareholders since FY16. For FY19 (they change the end year from June to Dec), revenue and profit will be backed by the still high RM1.1bil unbilled sales. Management has decided to delay the launch of their much awaited The Place 2 (Cyberjaya) given the challenging property market sentiment. The project has a potential GDV of RM1.08bil and is located next to Cyberjaya City Center.
In terms of valuation the company is currently trading at a PE valuation of 11.7x PE which is not high but given the depressing market sentiment of the property industry, investors can actually find other property companies that currently trades at a lot lower valuation compared to MCT. That being said growth for FY19 would most probably be small or none at all.
If you are looking to diversify your portfolio outside of MCT (due to its weak property market outlook) 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.

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.
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).

Isn't it a hostile takeover then? Since the Ayala is planning to take over MCT when the malaysian market is not doing well. Sad seeing another Malaysian company taken over by a foreign country, albeit it's still an Asian country
KUALA LUMPUR: Kenanga Investment Bank Bhd has advised the minority shareholders of property company MCT Bhd to reject the takeover offer of 88 sen a share by the Philippines' Ayala Land.
Kenanga IB said on Monday as the offer price was a discount of 50 sen or 36.23% over the estimated fair value per MCT share of RM1.38, it described the offer as not fair.
“Kenanga IB views the sum-of-parts valuation (SOPV) model to be the most appropriate method to estimate the value of the MCT shares.
“Based on the SOPV method, Kenanga IB has derived an estimated fair value for the entire equity interest in MCT of approximately RM1.84bil or a fair value per MCT share of RM1.38,” it said.
To recap, Ayala Land first emerged in MCT in April 2015, soon after MCT’s listing on Bursa Malaysia. It took up 9.16% stake, which was part of a placement of shares at a price of RM1.28 a piece. Six months later it bumped up its shareholdings in MCT to 32.95%.

This brought Ayala Land’s holdings to 50.19% and firmly indicated its control of the local property developer.
Ayala Land is the biggest property developer in the Philippines. Its market capitalisation on the Philippine Stock Exchange is about RM53.69bil.
Kenanga IB said the offer price represents:
(i) a small premium of 0.22% to the five-day volume weighted average market price (VWAMP) of MCT shares as at the last practical date of 87.81 sen ;
(ii) a discount of 1.10% to the volume weighted average VWAMP of MCT shares for the period starting 12 months before the commencement of the offer period and up to the LPD of 88.98 sen;
(iii) and a discount of 8.33% to the VWAMP of MCT shares for the period 24 months before the commencement of the offer period and up to the LPD of 96 sen.
Notwithstanding that the MCT shares are illiquid, Kenanga IB noted the offeror intends to maintain the listing status of MCT on the Main Market of Bursa Securities.
“As such, holders who hold small amount of equity interest in MCT may still have the opportunity to dispose their MCT Shares in the open market subsequent to the closing date,” it said.
Meanwhile, the non-interested directors, after considering all aspects of the offer such as fairness and reasonableness of the offer and the evaluation and recommendation by Kenanga IB, concurred with the evaluation and recommendation of Kenanga IB that the offer is “not fair” and “not reasonable”.
“Accordingly, the non-interested directors recommend that you reject the offer,” they said in the statement.
Prospects for the next financial year With the introduction of Home Ownership Campaign (“HOC”) by the Government, the property sector have shown improvement as the campaign has stirred interest among homebuyers. With the Group’s experience in residential development, the outlook for the Group is positive given that the Group is expecting several key launches at Cybersouth and Lakefront @ Cyberjaya project by the end of 2019. The focus will remain at residential properties that are priced between RM250,000 and RM750,000, with some commercial units to complement the completed projects. The Group’s landbanking efforts in 2018 will also bear fruit in 2019 as the Group is targeting to launch the first phase of the newly acquired land in Subang Jaya by 4Q 2019.
For the current period to date The Group recorded revenue of RM210 million for the 6 months period ended 30 June 2019. Savings realised from SkyPark @ Cyberjaya coupled with the improvement of construction progress has contributed to the revenue and profit recognition for the period. Property development segment contributed to 95% of the total revenue of the Group. Gross profit margin remained healthy at 30% as the contribution from low margin products such as PR1MA Homes were the main revenue drivers. The lower effective tax rate of 21% as compared to the statutory tax rate of 24% is mainly due to the utilisation of business losses arising from certain subsidiaries. Profit after tax was RM8 million at 4% net profit margin following the increase in expenses incurred which coincided with the slow construction progress for the same period.
government will also ensure that previous investment in mct by tabung haji will be recovered, etc. :)
