I beg to differ. Low margin mean easier to get job. Just like we go to restaurant. Do you want to go to restaurant overcharge you hence high profit margin? Or employer which you will hire high paying employee or low paying 1 for same job?
OMG whoever that said their margins are low needs to re-think this company. Look, this counter is a politically-linked counter. You think they can get projects just like that without oiling?!
for those who bought and believe in this counter, pls ignore the following. it is just to share with those that are interested but haven't bought this counter.
1. low margins are not forever, but that's a risk when it comes to companies with poor historical track record because we don't know how much is their operating leverage. it is also possible that the low margin was strategically done to outbid competitors and secure more jobs and so their margins may continue to be low
2. based on the contracts they have won last year and the projected schedule, this year revenue should have almost doubled. somehow its increase is more modest. is it due to delays or most of their projects are back-end loaded? I don't know
3. concession earnings is supposed to be steady and low risk. but for some reasons, budaya actually was loss making throughout the construction stage (if u read the circular). this is quite unheard of for Uni concessions. it implies poor cost management. so will they be profitable now at the maintenance stage? my gut feel is yes but will it be the RM10m p.a. as projected by the valuer 2 years ago? I'm not so sure.
plus if you notice budaya accounts, they financed the construction by current payables. so far no repayment has been done for the past 2 years but will it continue to be so after ownership change or pesona have to borrow to pay off the payables and incur interest cost?
4. many people conveniently ignore the warrants which is about 17% of the current shares. when your eps is diluted, then it may not be as great as initially thought. so if you target price is 70c, if diluted by 100/117 then suddenly it's more like 60c. that's a big difference.
the good stuff about this company of course is its record order book and maybe more to come. but before you jump into it, maybe give a thought about the points above as well.

price to high already, construction sector won't get good profit margin and if need good margin, you will see how the co. cut cost, then you will see development with bad quality problem even selling price is high... so avoid at the moment and wait till next 2 qtr report. Btw, I've sold off already and make 15~20% margin...
