Calculate all you want… NTA la, book value la… etc. Crescendo for me is too expensive. Show me the money? With DY below 1% it also indicate this counter have run up a lot and not worth to look more at this level. Besides, shareholders will have to pray the management give you special dividend. You’re at their mercy. It was laggard for so long around 1.14+. Entering now is a suicide… you’ll ended up holding it for another 5-10years. Don’t be blinded by the hype of Datacentre and HSR. That will itself takes time… not immediate.
RM 315 million already paid by Microsoft within 3 months after signing S&P. This is called efficiency and professionalism. Can expect share price to shoot up tomorrow.........
"On behalf of the Board, UOBKH wishes to announce that the Balance Disposal Consideration has been fully paid by the Purchaser to the Purchaser’s solicitors on 21 February 2024. Pursuant thereto, the Completion Date as defined under the SPA has taken place on 21 February 2024."
CRESENDO in a sweet spot to capitalise on DC Mania In Johor due to its massive land bank.
Johor is a rising star in the data center landscape, and CRESCENDO is well-positioned to capitalise on this growth. Coupled with the company's undervalued landholdings, partial recurring incomes, and decent dividend history.
These factors make CRESCENDO an attractive stock for investors seeking exposure to growing data center industry in Johor and RTS Link, the potential game-changer for property market in Johor Bahru.
Net assets per share of Rm 9.0 upon revaluation.
As majority of the lands have not been revalued for years, and if we assume a net gain of RM600m from the remaining 202 acres of industrial land in Nusa Cemerlang Industrial Park and a RM1b revaluation surplus for its remaining landbank and properties, this will bump up its net asset per share to RM9, versus its current share price of RM2.68 per share.
Crescendo going to announce Q4 result by end of this month. Predict it will make a total 20 sen from normal business operation after tax. Since there was no interim dividend paid, couple with extra ordinary gain from land disposal, there is no need to retain more cash then necessary. Expecting it to declare not less than 20 sen per share by end of the month.
Proceed from land sale to Microsoft already received in Feb. Proceed from the other 2 land sales expected o come in by 3rd quarter. Profit from land sales will cushion capital expenditure, and further 100 acres industrial land in NCIP disposal may be materialized within this year. So another 500 million from land sales is awaiting. No point keeping so much cash unless go for further landbanking exercise.
Crescendo’s performance over the past 12 years has been impacted by the soft property market. Despite this environment, the Group managed to be profitable every year. But the property sector is cyclical and with the post-Covid-19 opening of the economy, the bottom of the cycle has been reached.
Crescendo's outlook is optimistic. Positioned near vital projects like Iskandar Malaysia and Pengerang Integrated Petroleum Complex, it is poised for growth in demand for both residential and industrial units.
2 key approaches to assess the intrinsic value of Crescendo:
• Asset Value: I used the Book Value here of RM3.32 per share
• Earnings Value of RM4.64 per share:
EPV based on average earnings over the past 12 years plus the value of the non-operating assets. My non-operating assets include excess land held for development as well as an estimate of the land re- valuation surplus.
What is the outlook for the property market in Malaysia? According to a study conducted by Juwai IQI, an international real estate property transaction group, the buy-to-rent ratio for 2024 stands at 91.1% for purchases and 8.9% for rentals, signalling robust confidence in the real estate market. Anticipated increases in yields further support this positive outlook.16 Jan 2024
You should peruse Analyst Briefing by Crescendo for better understanding of its Board Of Directors' business strategy, prospect and future direction of the company.
I am very confident Crescendo should form major portion for your retirement planning. It is safe, growing and rewarding under present able and credible leadership.
Crescendo net profit 20.42 sen, dividend declared 18 sen. This does not include land sales estimated net profit 312 million.
What will be the share price when it open for trade on Friday?
Very important point to note is the integrity of Crescendo Directors, Auditors, senior staff dealing with accounts and finance. No insider try to profit from this stirling set of results and propose dividend. Good management, credible, efficient, professional and staff with integrity.
Crescendo declares special dividend as earnings surge to seven-year high

The company expects to “perform well” in FY2025 as the land sales in Nusa Cemerlang Industrial Park will gross RM545 million and allow the company to book an estimated gain after tax of about RM310 million upon their completion in FY2025.
Within the next one year, the company plans to launch 167 units of mid- to high-end market landed residences at Bandar Cemerlang and 57 units of shop-offices at Desa Cemerlang with a total gross development value (GDV) of RM237 million, it noted.
Further, Crescendo will begin the main infrastructure work of the industrial park at Bandar Cemerlang in FY2025 “as we plan to launch the first phase for sales within the next three years,” Crescendo.
Crescendo also plans to launch 1,200 units of serviced apartments near Bukit Chagar with a total GDV of about RM1 billion in the second half of FY2025.

has a v high intrinsic value as high as $9 as presented by analysts. being an A1 stock in the property sector, it would likely be the next ytlpowr in the making n MORE... its location pt on its fin mountain is like ytlp at 1st peak of 2.24 then on Sep 20th, 2023,, On an imminent grand BO, it becomes derisk = zero risk. it should then be on route to ytlp's 2nd peak of 4.24 n ++.
EW Theory tells its future TP i.e. MAJOR C = or > MAJOR A n is located at $4.55 n + overshoot.
Cresndo sold 100 acres of land to CINA DC, SIN DC n MSFT DC at high prices totaling $543 million cash. its mkt cap now is so low VS its VALUE n cash on the book. it still has large annex land of 102 acres, for DC development on that Pulai plot after selling half away.
its land at Pulai is nearer to Forest City than Kulai. all foreign tech experts will stay only at F City with SFZ status, to enjoy the max 15% income tax.,.
“At the moment, we have four DC, data centres that are up and running while 10 more are in various stages of construction and another 14 more are in various stages of discussion with the state government and federal government," said Lee. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ https://klse.i3investor.com/web/stock/financial-quarter/6718 just declared a total dividend of 18 sen ex date on April 24th, 2024, https://theedgemalaysia.com/node/706187
A simplistic approach based on last Q's result would be 8 cts x 4 = 32 cts x PE of 12 = 3.84.
A TP of RM 3.80, I recon is a conservative TP.
On a more upbeat approach would be - factoring in fantastic profits from various parcels lands sold to Multinationals to build DCs - a TP of RM 4.50 is reasonable.
Above all, this company is generous when it comes to sharing profits ( vis dividends) unlike other Property companies.
Will receive another rm 111 million within April. All land disposal should complete by this month.
"The Board of Directors of CCB wishes to announce that its wholly-owned subsidiary, PID, as the Vendor, has on 15 November 2023 entered into a Conditional Sale and Purchase Agreement with Yu Ao Sdn.

Property developer Crescendo rises to record high on land disposal
KUALA LUMPUR (April 5): Crescendo Corp Bhd's shares surged to a record high on Friday following the announcement of the Johor-based property developer’s latest land disposal plan. The counter rose as much as 5.86% to RM3.25 during Friday’s morning session, before paring its gains to RM3.22 by noon break. At RM3.25, the group is valued at RM903.09 million.
Crescendo, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Panoramic Industrial Development Sdn Bhd, has sealed a deal with Microsoft Payments (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd for the sale of a vacant parcel of freehold land spanning 1.1 million sq feet in Pulai, Johor for RM132.47 million. The group expects to realise a net gain of RM80.83 million from this recent proposed land transaction.
The Group plans to launch 1,200 units of serviced apartments which are located within the vicinity of the RTS terminal at Bukit Chagar with a total GDV of approximately RM1 billion in second half of FY2025.
Taking 30% gross pretax profit, that is rm 300 million. So cost of development inclusive of land is rm 700 million. Land cost is about 10% of capital outlay is very very low. Normally for highrise, it should be 15 to 20% of the development cost.
Crescendo, the next YtlPower ? Land sales makes good profit, like TSH. Bulugan sales Cresndo 500 mil , plus another 100 over million will make shares jump. !! Anyway, like OTB says, third wave of EW theory for YtlP is very powerful. Can overcome ATH of 4.24.
