Crescendo is looking for buyer for its 75 acres of industrial land at NCIP. Looking at the latest transaction @ rm 138 psf at SILC, NCIP land should sell at rm 150 psf, or rm 6.5 million per acre. (something like DongQuan to Shenzhen). So this 75 acres worth rm 488 million!

@ DaveInvest

US Tariff hike on China's glove product will be only imposed in year 2026. I would say market has over-reacted. You can look into technology stocks since US tariff hike will be affecting China's semicon in year 2025.

You'd spoken my words, 😂
"Sometimes I wonder does some of the small investor know that the land disposal sale announcement dated on 14/5/24 is referring to previous sale and it’s NOT a new sale or not 🤔"

Posted by newuser999 > 2024-05-18 15:54 | Report Abuse

I smell something to the announcement on 10/5/24 - "proposed renewal of authority for share buy-back". The share buyback is up to 10% of the total numbers of issued shares.

The purpose of share buybacks can be as below. 1, 2 & 3 could be the reasons for Crescendo:

1. 【Capital allocation】: Companies may use share buybacks as a way to deploy excess capital. If a company has accumulated cash reserves or has limited investment opportunities, it can repurchase its own shares to return capital to shareholders.

2. 【Enhancing shareholder value】: By reducing the number of outstanding shares, a share buyback can increase EPS and potentially boost the company's stock price. This can benefit existing shareholders by increasing their ownership stake and potentially providing a higher return on their investment.

3. 【Signal of confidence】: Share buybacks can be seen as a signal of confidence from the company's management. When a company repurchases its own shares, it indicates that management believes the shares are undervalued and that buying them back is a good use of capital.

4. 【Offsetting dilution】: Companies often issue new shares as part of employee stock option plans or to raise capital for acquisitions or expansion. Share buybacks can offset the dilution caused by these new share issuances, helping to maintain a stable ownership structure.

5. 【Tax-efficient distribution】: Share buybacks can be a tax-efficient way to return capital to shareholders compared to dividends. In some jurisdictions, capital gains from selling shares may be taxed at a lower rate than dividends, providing potential tax advantages for shareholders.

6. 【Defensive measure】: Share buybacks can be used as a defensive measure to fend off potential hostile takeovers. By reducing the number of shares available in the market, it can make it more difficult for an acquiring company to gain control.

Posted by newuser999 > 2024-05-18 16:01 | Report Abuse

This is just my anticipation. Let's see the movement of the management:

Share buybacks can result in treasury shares where Treasury shares can be used for various purposes, including potentially distributing them as dividends / bonus issue to shareholders.

Based on profits from 3 land sales , Crescendo's Q1 FY25 will make at least rm 335 million PAT or rm 1.15 per share - for the First Quarter FY25. ( announcement due in late June)

IWCity (1589.KL) Biggest Laggard In Johor Property Boom

Over the weekend, The Edge Weekly featured a 200-pager Special Edition titled “JOHOR READY FOR THE BIG LEAP”. Johor since the middle of last year had been the hotbed of investment be it property counters and the involvement in Data Centre Theme. Share prices with exposure to Johor were sure hits for these 18 months. The main catalyst is none other than the sheer amount of FDIs pouring into the state. In addition to the big policy moves to formulate and execute business-friendly decisions in spearheading the state’s economic growth.


Quoting Datuk Ho Kay Tat (Publisher & Group CEO of The Edge)

Publisher’s Note [THE STARS MAY FINALLY BE ALIGNED FOR JOHOR]

“In 2006, Malaysia launched the Iskandar development project to try and push things forward for Johor, but progress has not been as good as hoped and one reason is because of the cool response from Singapore.

But this appears to have changed recently, and there is now bullish optimism in the air because of closer government-to-government cooperation that has enabled things to move. The collaborative construction of the Rapid Transit System Link (RTS Link) from Woodlands in Singapore to Bukit Chagar in the heart of Johor Bahru and the creation of the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone will be game changers.

Another factor is that Johor’s Sultan Ibrahim is now the King of Malaysia and His Majesty will definitely give an added push to make things happen sooner, rather than later

For Johor, the stars may finally be aligned”



In a RHB Report dated 13 May 2024 Titled [Real Estate - JS-SEZ: The New Chapter of Iskandar Malaysia] mentioned a list of major landowners in Iskandar Malaysia. Further extrapolating from the list, the table below shows the share price performances of these landowners.


Company Name / YTD-Performance

UEM Sunrise +35.7%
Sunway +65.1%
IOI Properties +37.5%
Mah Sing +125.6%
LBS Bina +16.7%
Ecoworld +47.2%
AME Elite +2.4%
KSL +57.3%
Scientex +13.3%
😲IWCity -0.6% 😲
Crescendo +53.1%
YTL Corp +90.1%
MPHB +53.8%

To many investors' surprise, IWCity is the only company that printed a negative return on share price with a meagre -0.6% contraction. The average YTD return for companies with land banks in Iskandar Malaysia Region was +49.8% and even more on a 1-Year measurement.

Surging property prices in Johor as seen from recent transactions with KSL, Paragon Globe, Crescendo and AME Elite are some of the anecdotal evidence that land prices are indeed moving up. Hence, one needs to take a closer look at IWCity as it lags behind its peers by a far margin. Hence, an opportunity for the late comers to catch up with very low downside risks.

CRESENDO disposes of Johor land for RM116mil

CORPORATE NEWS

Tuesday, 11 Jun 2024

PETALING JAYA: Crescendo Corp Bhd (CCB) is disposing of a 20.463 acre plot of vacant industrial land in Johor Baru, Johor to Digital Halo Pte Ltd for RM115.88mil.

In a filing with Bursa Malaysia, CCB said the proceeds from the land disposal will be for working capital purposes and to fund ongoing projects.

CCB said the vacant land is currently not being used and is not generating any cash flow for the group.

“Moving forward, the group intends to focus its resources on six ongoing development projects and should opportunities arise, take advantage of land banking opportunities and joint ventures in other strategic locations.

“The group will have the flexibility and liquidity to pursue investment opportunities or projects requiring large capital expenditure, whilst strengthening the group’s working capital position.”

Every developer that sell land to Data Centre operator makes windfall profit except one. Why YTLP never announce how much it received from Nvidia for the land? What is the size of the land sold? Or is it Nvidia just selling equipment and services in so called collaboration without any capital outlay? Frankly speaking, I don't know.

@ks55

The relationship between YTL Power and NVIDIA primarily focuses on technological collaboration rather than a land transaction. YTL Power and NVIDIA are working together to establish an advanced supercomputing platform using NVIDIA's DGX cloud computing technology based on the Grace and Blackwell architectures. Therefore, this relationship involves the purchase and use of NVIDIA's Blackwell technology for building the computing platform, NOT the sale of land.

For qtr 1, ending 30/4 /2024 , Annual Report stated they have already received more than 300 million on no of shares of 280 million only !! So price will definitely shoot up when Eps is very high, maybe above RM1, and declares Hefty Dividend as what they did recently giving 18 cents.
