Shifting portfolio

The past 2 trading days have seen huge drop especially to O&G companies. Not surprising, other stocks are getting some hit as well. With that, I am making some change to my portfolio. It is still a boring change though with the switch from Jobstreet to Keuro.

Jobstreet has already sold its main business to Seek and I do not see much upside anymore. The most it can go is probably to RM3.00.


Keuro, on the other hand I see huge potential. I have figured out that perhaps the holding of 40% in Bandar Rimbayu alone for Keuro could potentially be worth more than RM1 billion. Yesterday, Gamuda had bought a piece of land adjacent at RM35 per sq ft and that is an agricultural land which will need some additional spending and work on (calculation below). Hence, if anyone is claiming that the purchase of Canal City land by Ecoworld at RM35/sq ft is expensive - it probably is not. Tropicana got it cheap from the previous MB.

Calculation of purchase price by Gamuda on an agri land near Kota Kemuning
Purchase price of - RM392,172,858.00
Total hectares - 104.1 hectares = 11,205,220 sq ft
Price per sq ft - RM35 per sq ft

At current price, Keuro is trading at around RM1.05 billion where the 40% ownership of Rimbayu is probably already worth that much. Additionally, I still think that the West Coast Expressway will be worth more than the Rimbayu stake. The drop in oil and other commodities may even help Keuro in having the construction costs lower as there is somewhere that I have encountered that in building of roads, around 70% are in the raw materials - cement, steel, bitumen (petroleum by products). Do check out where the prices of these items have been heading over the last year. I am not sure for Keuro's case, would raw materials comprise 70% of the costs. Any civil engineers here that can help to clarify? Do note that Malaysian government is taking up the costs on land acquisition in this project.

Hence, I have made some adjustments to the portfolio.
