00:00 Today we're taking a look at TRC Synergy.
00:04 TA Security says it remains cautiously optimistic about the group's outlook.
00:08 Following a recent meetup, the stock remains a buy in its book with an unchanged target
00:14 price of 43 cent.
00:15 TRC lost trader at 36.5 cent.
00:19 So according to TA, TRC is backed by an outstanding construction order book of around RM400 million,
00:26 translating to about 0.7 times FY22 construction revenue.
00:30 The depletion of the outstanding order book was due primarily to a lack of new big contract
00:36 wins over the past two years as the group was not aggressively bidding for jobs.
00:41 Now that the prices of construction materials are more manageable, plus the easing of labour
00:46 shortage issues, TA says the group has become more aggressive in job tendering.
00:51 Currently, the group has a tender book of around RM5 billion and is still looking to
00:56 strike a jackpot worth RM3.1 billion from the MRT3 project.
01:01 It will proceed with Phase 2 of the ARA Central project, which it is targeting to launch in
01:06 the first quarter of 2025.
01:09 Down under, the property business is relatively slow amid a rising interest rate environment,
01:14 while the hotel business has yet to see a strong pickup.
01:17 So what's the consensus?
01:19 According to Bloomberg Data, TA aside, the only other research house covering TRC is
01:24 Hong Leong Investment Bank Research, with a hold rating and target price of 38 cen.
01:29 That brings the average target price to 41 cen, which is 12% higher than the stock's
01:34 last close of 36.5 cen.
