Got some time now.

Here's from a different perspective...
1. Just in case anyone not know, this JAKS power plant thing is not new.
News in 2010:
http://www.thestar.com.my/business/busines...-plant-project/( I believe JAKS then was a penny stock. Around 70 sen or so.)
Clearly this is an Old cerita.
2. Things was never smooth for JAKS and its power plant. For example:
http://www.thesundaily.my/news/1004604JAKS at one time traded around 30 sen plus.
3. Now very important... how's JAKS track record as a company. let's skip the earlier years. Focus on the last three years.
Yes, look at the track record. Let's have a rough gauge of JAKS as a company. (you need to search the numbers yourself)
Do you like what you see?
If I minus all news and just based on the numbers alone... man, I just have to say that this looks like a pretty below average company.
... so here's how I draw up my perception of the company.... my way *maybe the borak way.

*
I see a below average, venturing big time into Vietnam. Since 2010. And so far, nothing, absolutely nothing has come off it. So all these big earnings projections.... how do I have the faith that JAKS can deliver?
And JAKS used to be below 40 sen. Price today is now 1.50. (Won't you say that whatever good news for the stock HAS ALREADY been priced in? But the problem now is that JAKS has yet to deliver anything ! )
Tell me, if I am smart in managing my investment risk, how could I justify myself in risking my money in a stock like JAKS, which is trading at a 100x PE !?!
See my point?

Ya, I agree, JAKS FA memang look shitty for now.
They had struggled for a long period for the Vietnam deal.
If minus all the news and just look at the numbers alone, I see a good starting point there. Compare Q1 2016 and Q1 2017 the profit grow 7 times.
It looks like the rainy days has finally passed, sunny days will arrive soon.
Why I believe so?
Reason being (From what I see)
Rainy days has passed
1) They finally manage to get a JV partner for the Vietnam gigantic project.
http://www.thestar.com.my/business/busines...il-power-plant/2) Financial support wise they found the 3 China Banks.
http://www.theedgemarkets.com/article/jaks...nam-power-plant3) 1 of their main loss is Liquidated damages which they kena impose due to late delivery of project. This shall not be a long term losses
4) The only concern which might be worried is how are they gonna cut lose on their Evolve Concept Mall. But the amount is relatively small if compare to the "Optimistic" profit forecast.
Arrival of sunny days
1) They start to diversify to power plant business and leave the construction industry which I think is hard to cari makan industry.
2) Electricity is something that everyone need to use and mostly it is a monopoly business. Good example of successful company is YTL.
3) If JAKS can get power plant project in Vietnam, they probably can get more similar project from other developing countries who are lack of electricity supply.
There is 1 big concern which need to be monitored is how well their JV partner, China Power Engineering Consulting Group Co Ltd can manage the power plant project at Vietnam. As long as they do not screw up, I think JAKS should have a bright future.
