  ks55 Why major shareholders selling immediately after the announcement? Very strange. 08/08/2022 8:42 PM matt88 Private placement of up to 20 per cent of paid up at 20 per cent discount. Market practice is only 5 per cent discount. No wonder the price drop so much after the announcement. Major shareholder sold before announcement. Is this insider trading. Bursa please investigate. 29/08/2022 12:18 PM  Thirai Thiraviam Hi matt88 - I am not overly concerned about the major shareholder's sale of 2 mil shares, which, according to the same Bursa announcement, makes up barely 2% of her (MADAM SHANTAMALAR A/P C.SIVASUBRAMANIAM) holdings. So, I wouldn't link it with private placement exercise announcement that was made a few days later on Aug 17. Anyone here in the know re the proposed private placement, beyond what was announced? Thanks in advance. 07/09/2022 11:29 AM Thirai Thiraviam Having looked a little deeper into HEB, I found that the recently concluded quarter was its best since Q3-2018. Its profit margin had for the first time since the earlier period crossed the 10% threshold. The earnings per share, too, is the best since the earlier period. Should HEB were to maintain a similar performance moving forward -- I think this is highly likely given its recent big wins and its performance over the years paying down debt -- at an annualized EPS of, say, 3.2 cents, and a PER of 28 (based on past performance), we get a target price of RM 0.89. If we were to conservatively price it at 15 (for the so-called Peter Lynch Earnings Line), we'd get a target price of RM 0.47. So, at RM 0.355, HEB does appear to be selling at a discount of 25% to 60%, depending on how conservatively we price the business. To me, it's a buy. 07/09/2022 2:58 PM InvestorwithIQ https://einvest.affinhwang.com/news/archive/Affin%20Hwang%2020220914%20HSS%20CU.pdf TP 0.82 by Affin Hwang Investment Bank 21/09/2022 3:13 PM InvestorwithIQ HSS Engineers (HSS MK) BUY (maintain) Price Target: RM0.82 Up/Downside: +115.8% Previous Target (Rating): RM0.82 (BUY) Multiple growth drivers ➢ We hosted HSS management for a meeting with 12 institutional investors ➢ The RM998m Project Management Consultant (PMC) secured contract for the Klang Valley MRT Line 3 (MRT3) project provides good earnings visibility ➢ HSS is expanding its engineering services to other industries and pursuing overseas expansion to diversify geographically. HSS remains a sectortop BUY with an unchanged target price (TP) of RM0.82, based on a 2023E PER of 18x MRT3 PMC contract provides long-term earnings visibility HSS accepted the Letter of Appointment from MRT Corporation on 4 August 2022 to provide PMC services for the MRT3 project with an estimated value of RM997.9m over the expected duration of 11 years. We understand that the revenue will mostly be recognised in the first 8 years for the engineering design and project management of the civil works portion of the MRT3. Geographical diversification and expansion of services HSS’ remaining order book of RM1.5bn will provide earnings visibility over the coming 5- 8 years. New contract wins hit a new high of RM1.09bn YTD 2022. HSS is still targeting another RM150-200m of contract wins in 2H22 with a tender book of RM400m currently. Some ongoing bids/negotiations for new projects are the Bayan Lepas and Johor LRTs, Sarawak Metro, Westport Phase 2, PJD Link Highway, KL-Karak Highway Widening, Kuching Airport expansion, and flood mitigation, water and sewerage projects. HSS is also expanding geographically by pursuing Asian projects in collaboration with Japanese consultants and expanding its services to other industries such as the telecommunication (5G network infrastructure) and digital technology (data centre) sectors. Private placement and bonus issue of warrants HSS proposed a private placement of new shares up to 20% of share capital and bonus issue of 1 warrant for every 3 existing shares held on 17 August 2022. We gather that the private placement is a contingency plan and the new equity issuance will only be required if HSS needs working capital for its projects. Indications are working capital requirements for its projects can be met with internally-generated funds and bank borrowings. Net gearing is low at 0.1x as at end-2Q22. Hence, new equity funding from the proposed private placement and exercise of warrants may not be required, in our opinion. Remains a top sector BUY The core 2023E PER of 8x is attractive considering its strong 2-year core EPS CAGR of 45% in 2023-24E. We maintain our BUY call with a 12-month TP of RM0.82, based on target 2023E PER of 18x. Key risks are political uncertainties and slow roll-out of infrastructure projects. 21/09/2022 3:14 PM henry888 No operator kah, volume so low ??? Will sky rocket if Federal can increase development fund from 5% to10% as requested by Premier. 25/11/2022 7:12 AM dmyap327 https://www.sinchew.com.my/news/20230913/finance/4981731 PLEASE REFER TO THIS LINK GOT GOOD NEWS FOR HSSEB 14/09/2023 3:02 PM UncleFollower I have absolutely missed profiting from this counter. In hindsight it's such an obvious choice. Well done guys 15/09/2023 5:27 PM Goldberg CGS-CIMB has named YTL Corp Bhd , Malayan Cement Bhd and HSS Engineers Bhd as the top beneficiaries from the HSR’s revival, according to a note on Wednesday (Sept 13). 12/10/2023 9:19 PM Goldberg CIMB -Reiterate Add and TP of RM1.21 We reiterate Add on HSS with a DCF-derived TP of RM1.21 (WACC: 9.4%, TG: 4.5%). At our TP, HSS will trade at 16.6x FY24F P/E, which is still below mean post-Covid-19. Downside risks are slower rollout of projects and single project risk from MRT 3 PMC. We maintain our view that, while officially its tenderbook is at RM415m (historically 50% success rate. There is a potential RM1.9bn worth of engineering and project management services (EPMS) projects in the pipeline locally over the next two years . 04/11/2023 4:34 PM Goldberg No worries, HSSEB is trending upwards - Day traders and short term gamblers are not interested in this gem. Praise the Lord. 07/11/2023 9:43 AM mf RHB Investment Research Reports Real Estate - Johor: The Malaysia-Singapore Interchange rhbinvest Publish date: Tue, 31 Oct 2023, 09:47 AM Maintain OVERWEIGHT. We are upbeat on the outcome of the recent meeting between Malaysia and Singapore. Both governments have committed to accelerate the progress of the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone (SEZ), with further updates/details regarding tax incentives and cross-border electricity trading expected to be announced in the coming months. The leaders strongly emphasised the aim to smoother trips for people and transportation of goods. Companies that can potentially benefit significantly include UEM Sunrise, Sunway and AME Elite Consortium. 08/11/2023 12:11 PM Goldberg HSS Engineers Bhd remains positive on its outlook for financial year 2024 Although the group did not provide any guidance on project wins for FY24 during its recent Malaysia Corporate Day, HSS expects 2024 to be a better year, according to CGS-CIMB Research. It noted that in the first nine months of 2023, the group’s core net profit increased by 43% year-on-year, with project replenishment totalling RM300mil. HSS has a tender book of RM442mil with historically a 50% success rate. The research firm said the biggest setback for HSS was the further extension of the validity period for the Mass Rapid Transit 3 (MRT 3) civil packages. “This is the fourth extension, with the period now ending in March 2024. “Nevertheless, recent news from the Transport Minister that land acquisition will commence this year over a two-year timeline gave some assurance that awards could be imminent. “HSS’ outstanding order book as at September 2023 was RM1.49bil, of which we estimate 60% to be its project management consultancy (PMC) contract for MRT 3,” said CGS-CIMB Research. For its current PMC role in the MRT3 project, the research house added that it is still undergoing optioneering and land acquisition work and a strong pick-up in revenue recognition would be visible once the three large civil packages for MRT 3 are awarded. “Once that happens, more engineers can be deployed and progress billings will pick up exponentially.” However, the research house said the slack from MRT 3 delays could possibly be picked up by other projects, such as its lead design consultant role for Westports phase two, which is estimated to have a contract value of RM100mil to RM150mil. It said the more immediate wins for the group could be from flood mitigation projects, the Penang Light Rapid Transit and Pan Borneo Sabah phase 1B. A total of 33 high priority flood mitigation projects will be rolled out, costing about RM11.8bil under Budget 2024. “Out of this, HSS has submitted engineering design bids for the smaller projects (worth RM500mil) “For Pan Borneo Sabah phase 1B, the awards should happen soon. HSS was awarded a RM145mil PMC role for Pan Borneo Sabah phase 1A (15 packages) in April 2021. “As phase 1B will comprise 19 packages worth RM15.7bil, we estimate the PMC role to be worth RM300mil,” added CGS-CIMB Research. The company is currently working on overseas ventures in Japan to facilitate a private and public partnership project with the Japan Overseas Infrastructure Investment Corp for transport and urban development. 12/01/2024 5:20 PM icecube what happened? was on strong uptrend but then suddenly reversed and crashed downward. some fund selling? project delayed? questions unanswered as there is no news or bursa announcement. but at the same time, substantial shareholders just sold 10 mln shares to institutional funds... hmm. 11/04/2024 9:20 PM  speakup https://focusmalaysia.my/indians-will-teach-ph-dap-a-painful-lesson-in-kkb-by-election/ 11/04/2024 9:24 PM icecube 😲 still plunging.... 92 now. catching knife or buying opportunity?? what a dilemma 16/04/2024 9:49 AM  | |
