It is the people in Sunningdale running and working on the business who bring in the revenue and profits; and I am 100% sure KBH is not one of them!

thats true. he's a man of great ability and integrity.i heard that was one of the reasons why he left sia years ago because he was "requested" by above to reduce costs n increase profits but because he felt that it was not possible, he left. his old classmate told this to.me. not sure how true.

well he may be strong but that's unproven. to me current price reflects more on future expectations. as long as he is unable to deliver such expectations, price would just fall.

Which explains why prices went up recently. However I am curious. The company has 40m cash, raising more funds and have positive cash flow business. What are they planning to do.
Maybe they can acquire Fischer at a premium haha

has anyone looked at this company recently? seems rather illiquid esp. after the share consolidation.
trading at really low valuations, PE of 5.5, PB of 0.5, EV/EBITDA of 4.9 with strong positive operating cash flows yearly and nice dividend payout record consistently over the last six years (gradual increase with improved financial performance).
with most of the manufacturers that have operational bases in Malaysia benefiting from the strong USD/MYR - thought this is one of the many laggards worth a look. post acquisition of First Engineering, they have incurred several one-off consolidation charges over the last two quarters and given that second half is stronger seasonally, they should report decent results this coming week.
