Midas Holdings' JV sealed CNY420m train contract

It'll supply 56 train cars by 2014.

According to OCBC Investment Research, Midas Holdings (Midas) announced last evening that its 32.5%-owned JV company Nanjing SR Puzhen Rail Transport (NPRT) has clinched a train contract worth CNY420m.

Here's more:

This is for the supply of 56 train cars for the Shenzhen Metro Line 4 project. Delivery is scheduled to take place from 2013 to 2014, and we believe this may lead to potential contract wins for Midas as it is a key supplier of NPRT.

We note that this is the third announced contract order of the year for NPRT, with cumulative contract wins amounting to ~CNY1.47b YTD. While NPRT had been a drag on Midas’ recent 1Q13 results, we believe that its contribution to Midas could improve in 2H13, given its order book schedule on hand.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
