Why Tiong Seng's second quarter results were 'very disappointing'

Profits crashed 78% to 2.1m.

According to OSK, Tiong Seng reported a very disappointing 2QFY13 results with profits of SGD2.1m (-78% y-o-y) on the back of SGD103.7m revenue (-16% y-o-y).

This is largely due to a decline in revenue from construction contracts as well as the dismal performance from its associate. The group has forayed into
Myanmar similar to that of Yoma and Yongnam which all reported disappointing results recently.

As such, we are cautious towards the group’s short-medium-term outlook.

The counter is currently trading at FY13 P/E of 7.6x, the highest amongst its industry peers such as KSH and UE E&C which reported better results and offered high yields. We expect downward correction to its share price.

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.
