.more contract coming soon. GSB new property development worth 800mil E&O second bridge worth RM200mil E&O The Peak Residence condominium worth RM278mil. E&O maiden condominium at seri tanjung penang STP 2A. Valie unknown yet.
All these are sure contract as thry are related aprty transaction. Added up the contract value, the orderbook will grow to 5bil. This not yet counted on other customer project like BBCC etc and government infrastructure project. Remember Kerjaya has set up a new division to actively tender for government infrastructure project such as ecrl where tender result will be available real soon.
At orderbook 5bil above, and with successfully tap into government infrastructure project, analysts will rerating Kerjaya and the share price will worth above RM2
Kerjaya is the most efficient construction company in Malaysia
While most construction companies make 5-7% net profit margin, Kerjaya commands a big fat 12-13% net profit margin that is twice its competitors.
Most analyst report highlighted Kerjaya Prospek's superior margin but they did not explore this subject deeper.
The reason why Kerjaya is able to command superior margin is because of the early adoption of Industrialized Building System where it had invested more than RM 100m into Mivan construction technology which was fully depreciated.
This IBS technology is an important competitive advantage for Kerjaya Prospek because it allows;
a) Faster construction speed where it takes only 7-10 days to build each level as compared to 14 days using the traditional method
b) Reduced labour force requirement by at least 30%
While IBS construction method is not a trade secret, competitors who are late to the game would have to sacrifice their margin by purchasing IBS building materials that are 5 to 10% more expensive than conventional building materials.
Thus, it is hard to compete with Kerjaya in terms of cost and speed of construction.
If a competitor uses the traditional building method, they will have higher cost and longer construction lead time. If a competitor tries to match Kerjaya in terms of construction speed using IBS, they have to sacrifice their margin even more.
GSB share consolidation completed. Next is private placement. Once private placement is completed then a 900mil contract on Shah Alam area will be awarded to Kerjaya. Stay tune
If you look at Kerjaya's revenue in the last four years, it definitely does not qualify as a growth stock. For the market to appraise this stock better, the orderbook has to grow substantially higher than the internal target of RM 1.2 billion at a consistent/year after year pace.
In my opinion, it is quite myopic to purchase Kerjaya shares on the prospect of few project wins. What the market wants is a company that can grow its orderbook substantially than the "guaranteed" RM 1 billion orderbook that the company could replenish each year.
How to achieve such growth rate?
Management has guided that they will not venture overseas. Besides, starting a construction company ground up in neighbour countries is not cheap and easy. Thus, Kerjaya business will most likely be limited in Malaysia only.
Will Kerjaya venture into different construction segment such as rail construction? Unlikely. Since the company has no expertise/competitive advantage in fulfilling such projects.
The future of Kerjaya will hinge largely on how well STP2A performs. If STP2A sold well, I believe Kerjaya could see at least low double digit growth in its order book on top of the customary RM 1 billion orderbook replenishment.
Huge impacts caused by COVID-19 ,... China fund definitely back to China... kerjaya can last due to zero debt huge amount of cash.... However. In .. Unpredictable future on development.... no money how to buy property....We should...study...Who buy property of e&o and others developments subcontractor by kerjaya if depending by oversea buyer.... Wish luck....
