MRCB's full control of LRT3 JV to improve profitability


KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysian Resources Corp Bhd's acquisition of George Kent Bhd's entire 50% stake in their Light Rail Transit 3 (LRT3) joint venture is a bargain purchase and will improve contract profitability, says Kenanga Research.

In a note, the research house said the RM53mil stake purchase is a bargain given that MRCB-GK Sdn Bhd still has future profits yet to be recognised, which would enhance its existing book value.
