Have been monitoring this counter for a long time. Wanting to buy cheap. But the share price refuse to come down. Today I decided to buy in for long term hold.
Ismylife73, hi. I have seeked the advice of my sifu friends, they told me to buy and no worries. I have also check the accounts and their businesses, and waited so long to buy cheap. The share price just cannot go down. So , buy take sellers, and keep in my locker.
IT was quite a busy year for the local construction sector in 2016 due to strong job flows from mega infrastructure projects, including the Pan Borneo Highway and Mass Rapid Transit Line 2.
While most construction stocks shone last year, Prinsiptek Corp Bhd, a small-cap home builder and developer, did not gain traction with investors until early this year.
The stock, which has risen 65% year to date, closed at 16.5 sen last Thursday, giving the company a market capitalisation of RM52.3 million. It is trading at a trailing 12-month price-earnings ratio of 17.5 times.
Prinsiptek managing director and founder Datuk Foo Chu Jong attributes the significant increase in the company’s share price in recent months to rising investor confidence.
“Many developers and some investors have visited our site in Puncak 7 (Prinsiptek’s residential project in Shah Alam). Some of them even bought units there. Our company’s share base is small, so it’s easier to grow,” he tells The Edge.
According to Foo, Prinsiptek has embraced the industrialised building system (IBS) to build affordable homes. “Building affordable homes with IBS is the way forward. Not only is it the future trend but it is also the correct and modern method of construction,” he says.
The 60-year-old is the major shareholder of Prinsiptek with 44% equity interest. He started his career in the construction industry in the early 1980s when he was involved in the development of commercial buildings, condominiums, hotels and housing estates.
Foo says many property developers are interested in Prinsiptek’s IBS pre-cast method, which enables the developer to meet the need for affordable homes much faster. “Our site in Puncak 7 is very clean and our workmanship is good because we are using full IBS — 100% prefabrication. I think it is an advantage that we got involved in IBS sooner rather than later because other players now have a [steeper] learning curve.”
Foo acknowledges that IBS adds to costs but in the long run, considering the rising wages and inflation, IBS is still the way forward as it means “less headache” for developers and construction companies. “Puncak 7 is a very successful full IBS pre-cast project. The speed of the job is faster and the site is cleaner. We use fewer foreign workers and the quality of work is higher,” he says.
Puncak 7 is Prinsiptek’s landmark project in Shah Alam. Phase 1 of the development, consisting of 211 units with a gross development value (GDV) of RM106.26 million, is almost 90% sold.
The launch of Phase 2, comprising 17 two-storey linked terraced houses, has been pushed to next year because of the slowdown in the property market, says Foo. However, he adds, the developer will go ahead with its plan to launch its Serdang Perdana project, which consists of 208 small office/home office units that will be built by the group’s construction arm. The single-phase project has an estimated GDV of RM60 million.
“We plan to launch this in the third quarter of the year. We are still waiting for some approvals from the authorities. Looking at the location, our sales should be very good,” Foo says.
Moving forward, Prinsiptek is open to more joint ventures (JVs) with landowners and property firms to build affordable homes. “We are talking to a few property developers, including some locally listed firms, to explore JV opportunities. Currently, we are eyeing a JV with a landowner in Kajang,” says Foo.
“We are also in talks with some government agencies to build more affordable homes.”
Prinsiptek owns 9.3 acres of freehold land in Gombak, Selangor, that was acquired in 2006 and has a net book value of RM1.545 million.
“We might build a mixture of affordable homes and other residential units in Gombak. There are other projects in the pipeline but both (Kajang and Gombak) are not for this year,” Foo says, adding that Prinsiptek is on the lookout for new land bank in the Klang Valley and Seremban.
Prinsiptek’s unbilled sales stand at RM469 million, which will be reflected in its financial results in the next two to three years. Its net profit more than doubled to RM4.33 million in its financial year ended Dec 31, 2016 (FY2016), from RM1.87 million the year before mainly due to the recognition of higher profit margin projects and better control of its operating expenses and finance costs.
Revenue, however, declined to RM208.02 million in FY2016 from RM239.28 million the year before due to the completion of construction and property projects in the Klang Valley.
Prinsiptek’s ongoing construction projects in Malaysia include TTDI Sentralis in Shah Alam and Penang Sentral. Its unbilled construction order book totals RM700 million and it is expected to keep the group busy for the next two to three years.
Foo says Prinsiptek has also bid for new projects worth a total of RM1.5 billion, including affordable homes and government jobs, to replenish its order book.
