WONG ENGINEERNG (7050) – A Potential UWC and JHM in the making .
It is very thinly traded share with only 112 mil shares issued with a forward PE 12 valuation of 110 Sen to 132 Sen.
A low profile company worth to watch or take position around 90
Sen level depending on your risk appetite with its turnaround
performance.
Management confidence in its share price is reflected by the share
buybacks and purchase of shares by controlling shareholders in recent
months.
Based on Q3 EPS of 1.99 Sen achieved despite being affected by
MCO, we estimated the 12 mths EPS in the region of 9 Sen to 11 Sen.
Using the estimated EPS range of 9 Sen to 11 Sen, with a
prudent forward PE 10 to PE 12, its valuation could range from 90 Sen to
108 Sen ( if next 12 mths EPS is 9 Sen) and 110 Sen to 132 Sen (if EPS
is 11 Sen) respectively.
I am incline to use PE 12 with a valuation range 110 to 132 Sen.
A turnaround story before Mr. Market notice it.
Wong would be conducting investor briefing to investors and analysts in KL in due course.
The Co wants to send a strong statement of intend that it wants to
shine like other Penang Technology Supply Chain Players and asking
investors to put Wong on their radar. The Co focus would be on the
manufacturing sector and continue its pursuit of business in
construction.

- Amidst a difficult business environment brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Group continue to focus on our core business and cost efficiency in order to maintain competitiveness.
- The Group is making efforts to expand into higher value-added manufacturing activities besides aiming to grow export sales and exploring diversification to support customers from various other industries
- As work resumed for the Kuchai Lama project, the Group seeks out new projects and opportunities for expansion and growth in this segment to further enhance and maximize shareholders’ value on top of striving to meet the targeted completion date. Premised on the above and barring any unforeseen circumstances, the Board is cautiously optimistic that the Group’s prospect shall remain favourable for the financial year ending 31 Oct.
- We are impressed as the above quantum leap improvement in top and bottom line which were achieved despite May MCO period.
- We were guided that going forward, the Q3 performance could be consistently achieved with improvements given the few 5G MNC customers which the Co is supporting.
