" I like that statement. "Want to buy land for project development". There must be something inherently wrong with a developer that does not "want to buy land for project development". Come on, most developments have no recurring income and developers have people on their payroll to feed. The single digit P/E ratio sounds terrific on paper but P/E is historical information unless you have enough information to work out their forward P/E. Historical P/E can be dangerous

Ya I agree with you that it is quite risky to buy shares basing on historic PE, without knowing the future prospect of a company or the industry per se.
Sometimes back some rubber glove stocks had very good historical PE and investors just jumped on board, though the threats from the oversupply of gloves and high material costs were on the horizon ( at that time )
It looks very suspicious to me too that this company is still trading around IPO price almost one year after listing, though the property market is doing extremely well.
There is always a mass dilution of shares from the IPO, and hence the company profit must go up to make it attractive.
But this company is earning 22sen eps over Price of rm one , sounds attractive.

If you found out, please share here!
Are you holding this counter? I am holding a substantial amount of Ivory... and I have faith in this counter, just a matter of timing!
Btw, I am quite confused over your saying,
"But this company is earning 22sen eps over Price of rm one , sounds attractive." What is the logic behind, if that is the case, then Tambun is even more attractive! 98sen eps over at the price of less than RM 1.00. Thanks for your explaination!
