Yoy, the higher revenue was attributable to continued contributions
by projects in Puchong Lakeside Residences, Saujana Rawang, Glomac Centro and
Reflection Residences. Net was marginally higher at RM21.1m. Net asset per
share attributable to shareholders improved from RM1.31 to RM1.34. Qoq, PBT
decreased by 36% due to higher revenue recognition for the previous period.
Ahead, group expects earnings for the year to be sustained given the unbilled
sales ( RM796m as at 4Q15) & future launches - Group is looking at FY16
sales target of RM600mn driven by RM800mn worth of new launches, with key focus
still on landed property. We keep a cautious tone over property sector outlook
given the effects of cooling measures and GST uncertainties still lingering;
Hold.
6) Market is expected to take the lead from the US FOMC's
meeting outcome. We still view that the FBMKLCI is still in consolidation mode,
taking comfort from the stronger Ringgit and crude oil prices, with immediate
resistance at 1685 points.
