If the latitude project is cancelled (which may not be a bad thing since the market is so soft right now) the key point would be the amount of compensation that would be paid out to Crest Builder. With the Prasarana chairman Tajuddin conflict of interest and MACC's potential investigation into this, it may be difficult for Crest Builder to get a good compensation for the cancellation.
Don’t believe too much this fellow said in interview. You can check the last time what he said during previous interview & check what happened after that.
Tajuddin Pasir Salak is out of UMNO & this company is also down as a contractor. Chinese family company. Used to get government jobs. NAPS has declined by 33% since 2020. Podcast in May 2023, now still losses.
Crest Builders had a terrible decade with declining top line, bottom line and returns. From 2012 to 2018, the Group achieved an average ROE of 8%. From 2020 to 2023, the average ROE had declined to negative 11%. https://i.postimg.cc/4NkPc3q8/Chart-1.png This is obviously a company facing a turn around. The good signs are that its construction arm has a RM 2.2 billion order book as of 2022 and its property development arm has RM 2.2 billion gross development value of projects. And it is fianancial ok. Its current losses are due to legacy projects and I think that it may take another 2 to 3 years to completely clean them. So while it is currently trading at less than half its book value, you will have to wait for the market to re-rate it.
