Yongnam   

Yong nam

Yongnam has already substantially completed their project in Dubai, hence no issue.  Yongnam is likely to report record profits for year 2009, with the substantial completion of Marina Bay Project.  With the ongoing governerment Road projects (Marina Coastal Expressway) and Rail Projects (for Downtown Line 1 & 2), Yongnam will stand to benefit from the awarded project.  Note that Yongnam is the leader in Singapore for the steel works and temporary works for Rail project.  In terms of capacity, the nearest rival is only about 1/5 the size of Yongnam. Good luck for Yongnam investor in 2010.  Happy New Year !

 

Have confident in Yongnam ! Dubai credit problem is not an issue now.

YN should be heading north in following weeks ! Good luck to those whom have vested.

 

Good for you.

But I am currently, tied up at KXD.

YONGNAM CLINCHES FOURTH CONTRACT FOR THE MARINA COASTAL
EXPRESSWAY
The Directors of Yongnam Holdings Limited (“Yongnam” or the “Group”), a wellestablished
structural steel contractor and specialist engineering solutions provider, are
pleased to announce that it has been awarded its fourth contract, valued at S$21.5
million (the “Contract”), for Singapore’s highly anticipated new expressway, the Marina
Coastal Expressway (“MCE”). With this latest contract win, the Group has since secured
contracts worth a total value of S$283 million for the MCE.
Commented Mr Seow Soon Yong, Chief Executive Officer of Yongnam: “Yongnam’s
strong brand name is now synonymous with notable infrastructural projects such as the
Marina Bay Sands™ Integrated Resort (“MBS IR”), the SkyPark that will sit atop the
MBS IR Hotel Towers and now, the Marina Coastal Expressway. Riding on our
established and trusted track record, we will continue with our marketing efforts to fortify
our leading position in the structural steelworks and specialist civil engineering
industries in the region.”
The dual five-lane, 5km long MCE is a strategic underground east-west transport link
between three major expressways, catering to the projected increase in traffic volume
generated by the high-density developments in the Marina Bay area. The MCE will be a
challenging construction feat, as part of the expressway will run underneath the seabed,
just 150 metres away from the Marina Barrage, which needs to be opened periodically
to allow water to flow out during heavy rain.

Yongnam will support the main contractor, Samsung C&T Corporation, through the
installation and removal of temporary steel strutting and waling works for the wide and
deep tunnel excavation. The Contract is targeted for completion by September 2012.
The Contract is not expected to have an impact on the Group’s financial performance
for the financial year ending December 31, 2009.

I don't want to be the spoil sport here,
but just wondering will the Dubai credit problem affect Yongnam,
on payment for projects there ?

 

 

 

Flyordie,

Why are your pink elephants dancing? Is there good news coming ?

 

 

If you actually look at construction stocks ike Yongnam, BBR, CSC...they have been trading sideways whereas stocks that are related to construction like Tiong Woon, HL Asia on the other hand would fly.

Reason being they have no control over their costs.  If for example, the price of sand or labour cost would increase, their profits would be adversely affected.

WOW !! huge sold down ?? something wrong ??

 

0.075 ? what happen?

 

On a positive note, government is spending development expenditure (S$ 11.5 billion) up 19%, with major projects as follows:

S$ 1.3 billion Downtown Line

S$ 873 million Circle Line

S$ 754 million Tuas View Extension

S$ 516 million Marina Coastal Expressway

S$ 270 million Reclaimation at Pulau Tekong

S$ 228 million Jurong Rock Cavern Phase 1

Looks like it will be another busy year for construction firms which will benefit greatly from the government infrastructure projects coupled with lower costs...

 

I'm looking beyond these projected revenue figures. In the construction industry where there is highly competitive bidding, sometimes awards are granted to the lower-cost bidders which may not have factored in unforeseen or under-estimated costs, which can add up quickly. Also, the profitability of the company hinges on the extent to which this construction company is well-managed and whether its resources could be over-stretched or attention diluted with so many projects on hand. So while this counter may seem to be basking in the good news of its many winning bids, it remains to be seen in the economic value added it will actually be able to generate.  

samloh28      ( Date: 24-Jan-2009 00:09) Posted: Budget 2009 certainly spells good news for infrastructure construction works. Total up to S$ 20 billions of contracts for MRT, Roads, HDB, Hospital, Park Connectors etc to be awarded in 2009 is about S$ 5billions more than the total government contract of S$ 15 billions in 2008. Just how much S$ 5 billions are worth ?  It is approximately the amount for North-East Line MRT project. Now, with book order of more than S$ 500 million for Yongnam and it will be busy in next 3 years, with the government infrastructure works coming strongly in 2009, Yongnam will be beneficiary.  With cost coming down, there are profits to be made for Yongnam... Its price of 8.5 cents is almost 3 cents below its Net Asset Value of 11.25 cents...

Tks for d indept info. However, only Q d R to acc n avg, ds morning.

samloh28      ( Date: 18-Jan-2009 22:34) Posted: For the records, Yongnam secured total contract sum of S$ 297.3 million for 26 Nov 08 (IR Sands - S$23.8 million), 2 Dec 08 (integrated civic, cultural, retail & entertainment hub at one-north, S$ 88 million - completion Jan 2011) and 16 Jan 08 (Marina Coastal Expressway - S$185.5 million, completion June 2013). Book value as of 30 Sep 2008 was S$ 247.2 million.  In other words, as of today, Yongnam has about more than S$ 500 million worth of contracts at hand and will be busy for next 3 years at least. There are great advantages for Yongnam being the largest steel works contractor in Singapore, as steel prices have fallen some 40% from its peak in 3rd quarter 2008. There will be significant cost savings. Just for the records, Yongnam had completed some major projects, such as Suntec City, CTE, North-East Line MRT, KPE, and ongoing projects in ION Orchard, Dubai Metro, Marina Bay Sands, Dehli International Airport. There will likely to be more contracts to be clinched in the near future, such as massive MRT Downtown Line Projects and further contracts for Marina Coastal Expressway and possibly in Middle East (Abu Dhabi). With government embarking on major infrastructural projects, Yongnam is poised to tap into the projects. The main difference is that the price now is 9.5 cents as compared to 40 cents in past 1 year and the steel prices are much lower. And profits should be higher ? And share price should match the profits soon...

ayoh, hd cleared all my 40lots at 10.5 cts in last yr liao. But still holding the R.

samloh28      ( Date: 16-Jan-2009 23:40) Posted: After market closed today, Yongnam announced its biggest single contract awarded to date : S$ 185 million for Marina Coastal Expressway Project. Plus the earlier 2 major contracts won in Nov and Dec 2008, Yongnam now won total S$ 297 million in these recent 3 months.  The bag of contract is full for next 3 years.  Plus the potential contracts in Abu Dhabi (which is embarking on major S$ 30 billion construction) and Downtown Line projects, Yongnam is likely to get more contracts.  From past records, in upturn of economy, stocks will advance about 6 mths ahead of economy.  And in stocks, normally the blue chips will move up first, followed by the penny stocks.  With eps of about 2.7 cents, assuming 20% growth, the stock should be worth 20 x 2.7 cents = 54 cents. Note that its NAV is 11.25 cents. And normally, the increase in profits for penny stocks are much higher.  Good luck !
