Who can confirm will not have another 'huge one time loss impairment' next quarter? Look at MBSB, already made 2 times huge impairment loss this year. Worse is the CMCO implemented recently and 2nd locked down in London definitely will impact the profits, that's why EPF is running away at loss.
It is not wise to follow every EPF step, they buy gloves stock at the peak, and they panic sell many stocks at the bottom, if you were to follow them you will be losing money more than you gain.
Properties and Conscrution stock today still weak and slow on the market..just keep till Covid-19 ended, if people's still hv money to buy properties lorr...
Maybank Investment Bank Research is maintaining its earnings forecast and RM1.29 target price for SP Setia Bhd with a Buy call.
KUALA LUMPUR: Maybank Investment Bank Research is maintaining its earnings forecast and RM1.29 target price for SP Setia Bhd with a Buy call.
The research house said on Friday three key takeaways from its conference call with SP Setia were: 1) the consortium (SPSB-SDPR-EPF) of Battersea Power Station (BPS) has done all the necessary provisions for the unsold units at BPS’ phase 2 and 3A;
2) SP Setia is focusing on clearing its inventories. Non-strategic land sales however seem unlikely to materialise in 2020; and
3) potential interest cost saving as management is reviewing its capital structure.
Maybank Research said the post 3Q20 results conference call centered mostly on its BPS project in London.
In view of the uncertainties arise from the lockdown in UK and economic condition post-Brexit, the consortium took a prudent measure by lowering its selling prices for the unsold units at BPS’s phases 2 and 3A. This has led to an impairment losses of RM336mil in the 3Q20 results.
“We were told that the assessment on product salability at BPS was made in the worst-case scenario and hence, management does not expect further impairments in the coming quarters.
“Elsewhere, management hinted that there could be further delays in completing the phase 2 and 3A, ” it said.
SP Setia intends to lower its debt level (0.76 times net gearing as at 3Q20 including RCPS) via the clearance of completed inventories worth RM1.1bil in cost and also the sale of non-strategic land bank.
About RM1.8bil worth of non-strategic landbank have been identified for sale but the land sales may not materialise in 2020 due to the disruptions from various movement control order (MCO) phases.
Elsewhere, SP Setia is reviewing its capital structure to leverage on the current low interest rate environment.
“Management has indicated that there will be no more impairment losses in the 4Q20. It is maintaining its FY20 sales target of RM3.8bil (RM2.9bil in end October 2020; vs. Maybank Research’s RM3.4bil) and focusing on converting the RM1.7bil secured bookings into sales.
“We maintain our earnings forecasts. Our RNAV is unchanged at RM4.05, ” it said.
Only seven companies were loss-making in 3Q20. The seven companies are in sectors that were worst hit by the pandemic, namely AirAsia Group Bhd, Genting Malaysia Bhd, Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd and Genting Bhd as well as three companies that are property and construction-related — Sime Darby Property Bhd, S P Setia Bhd and Gamuda Bhd. While these seven counters have all seen poorer performance on a year-on-year basis, three companies — AirAsia, Genting and Genting Malaysia — reported narrower net losses against their respective immediate preceding quarter (2Q20).
dont think spsetia will go to gloves although TG HQ is beside Setia HQ.... but one thing for sure is property market pick up. With HSR annoucement soon, SP Setia + I&P land in JB and klang valley will benefit from it..... easily can go back to pre-covid price of RM 1+++
