Congratulations for LT investors as....GSB Group Bhd, which has been loss-making for the last six consecutive years, expects to turn profitable in the current financial year ending March 31, 2020.
Bad news is don't expect for dividends as "We are planning to use our funds to expand our core business first before announcing any plans for future dividend payouts".... Majority SH needs to eat, minority SHs just need to drink water. Lol. Good luck.
KUALA LUMPUR: Property developer GSB Group Bhd, loss-making for the last six consecutive years, expects to turn profitable in the current financial year ending March 31, 2020 (FY20) driven by sales contribution from its three ongoing property projects.
After its extraordinary general meeting (EGM) yesterday, GSB executive chairman Datin Toh Siew Chuon told reporters that the group’s strategy is to continue focusing on residential property development. However, if there are opportunities to venture into other types of developments, GSB would explore them.
Toh is one of the group’s three major shareholders; the other two are her husband Datuk Tee Eng Ho, also Kerjaya Prospek Group Bhd chairman, and Eng Ho’s brother Tee Eng Seng, GSB executive director.
GSB’s three main ongoing projects — all asset injections from the main shareholders — are Bloomsvale, a mixed development in Jalan Puchong and Jalan Klang Lama, Kuala Lumpur; Straits Residence, a 30-storey serviced apartment and commercial tower in Seri Tanjung Pinang, Penang; and Kaleidoscope — four 25-storey condominium blocks in Setiawangsa, Kuala Lumpur — with a cumulative remaining gross development value (GDV) of RM1.74 billion.
Together with the group’s two other existing projects, the total GDV is RM2.1 billion. This, Toh said, will keep the group busy until 2024.
“We are very positive about all of our projects,” said Toh, but added that the property market remains challenging.
Toh declined to reveal GSB’s target sales for the year, saying “there is no proper guidance for now”. However, she disclosed the Bloomsvale project’s Tower A is 40% sold, and the Straits Residence and Kaleidoscope are 30% and 93% sold respectively.
Historically, the group has been recording some RM20 million in sales annually, excluding the assets injected.
GSB’s net loss, at RM1.81 million for FY14, rose thereafter to RM2.21 million for FY19. For the cumulative six months ended Sept 30, 2019, its net profit was RM1.35 million versus a net loss of RM2.22 million a year earlier. Its revenue was down 6% to RM24.23 million from RM25.87 million.
According to GSB’s circular to shareholders issued ahead of the EGM, the group’s total land bank is 220,749 sq m, of which only 30% is used.
Asked if the controlling shareholder, also Kerjaya Prospek’s major shareholder, would consider merging the two groups, Toh said they have no such plans for now.
“The intent is to have two separate distinct businesses whereby Kerjaya will continue to do construction only and GSB to focus on property development. We want to ensure no overlapping of strategies.”
Toh also said GSB had yet to declare any dividend payouts. “We are planning to use our funds to expand our core business first before announcing any plans for future dividend payouts. All shareholders, including us, like to have dividends, but we will only announce or declare dividend payouts after the company settles down.”
GSB’s share price closed 1.5 sen or 8.571% higher at 19 sen yesterday, valuing the group at RM104.96 million.

Kerjaya take over GSB at 85sen. Price still stay at 50sen. Obviously undervalue hidden gem. Kerjaya already injected 2.1 billions projects in GSB. Despite MCO period, but their projects take over rate quite impressive.
Sure no volume, most of investor focusing their share on gold and glove stock.. but I’m accumulate quite many at 0.48-0.49. It definitely will go higher than current price
wow, ally yee min, how you get that, same as mine....TP 1.80.... but my longterm is RM3 level ,just like how KERJAYA grow in longterm, give it 5yrs at least loh
Kerjaya just take over GSB last year. Now you talk about privase? No way. Kerjaya take over GSB at cost above RM0.17 per share (before consolidated). At of now, the price still extremely undervalue.
