Report Summary
- Still BUY, with new SOP-derived MYR0.87 TP from MYR1.02, 74% upside and c.5% FY25F yield. MGB’s 1H25 core profit of MYR23.5m (-17% YoY) missed expectations, making up 43% and 39% of our and Street’s estimates. The negative deviation came from the weaker-than expected construction segment. We forecast a three-year (FY25-27) earnings CAGR of 7% backed by steady progress of: i) Construction of remaining Rumah Selangorku Idaman (Idaman) projects, and ii) sales of other affordable housing projects in the Klang Valley with a combined GDV of more than MYR1bn.
- MGB’s 2Q25 PBT was mainly contributed by the property development arm, which saw a PBT of MYR19.8m (-18.8% YoY) as opposed to the construction arm’s loss before tax (LBT) of MYR1.8m (2Q24 LBT: MYR1.6m) in the same quarter. The drop in the property development arm was due to lower progress billings and delivery of vacant possession of the Idaman Melur project. Nonetheless, PBT margins for the segment remained strong at 20.3% for 2Q25 (2Q24: 16.3%). Meanwhile, the construction arm recorded LBT of MYR1.9m in 2Q25 (vs LBT of MYR1.6m in 2Q24) as the Prestige project was nearing completion in addition to higher expenses incurred for its precast business in Saudi Arabia.
- MGB’s outstanding orderbook was at MYR1.1bn as of end-2Q25 (vs MYR1.2bn as of end-1Q25) with MYR380m new jobs secured in FY25 (vs our MYR500m new win target). MGB’s latest win in Iskandar Puteri, Johor for a MYR186m high-rise residential job indicates that the group is able to expand beyond Pahang and the Klang Valley. The presence of the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone will likely necessitate the demand for residentials in the Johor state for MGB to leverage on.
- We lower our FY25-27 earnings estimates by 11%, 13%, and 7% as we factor in a slower progress and lower margin assumptions for is construction projects in addition to toning down our sales forecast for its property arm. Post adjustments, we arrive at our new SOP-derived TP of MYR0.87 (from MYR1.02). Our TP bakes in a 0% ESG premium based on an ESG score of 3.
- Prospects. With MGB’s pipeline of new property projects (including affordable housing) providing commendable earnings visibility with a cumulative GDV of >MYR1bn, we view valuations to be undemanding as its FY26F P/E of 5x is -1SD below its 5-year mean. A major catalyst would be a faster-than-expected development for the Kertih Terengganu Industrial Park (estimated GDV: MYR747m), and its precast venture in Saudi Arabia may serve further earnings upside.
- Key risks include an unexpected slowdown in the property market.
