Waja Konsortium Bhd

Waja Konsortium Bhd exhibits a strong liquidity position with a current ratio of 4.74, indicating the company can cover its short-term liabilities more than four times over. However, the company has negative net cash after subtracting total debt, signaling potential liquidity constraints despite the high current ratio. The company's debt-to-equity ratio is 0.0, suggesting it is not leveraged and relies primarily on equity financing. Profitability metrics show a return on equity (ROE) of 2.11% and a return on assets (ROA) of 1.5%, both below the industry median for Construction & Engineering firms. This indicates that Waja Konsortium Bhd is underperforming in terms of capital efficiency and asset utilization compared to its peers. The company's net income of MYR 868,150 is significantly lower than its operating income of MYR 6,874,710, suggesting high operating expenses or non-operating losses. The company's revenue is distributed across three segments: General Construction, ICT Services, and Investment Holding and Others. While the financial data does not specify the exact revenue contribution of each segment, the company's focus on IoT-integrated buildings suggests a growing emphasis on technology-driven construction solutions. Geographically, the company is concentrated in Malaysia, with no disclosed international operations, which may limit its growth potential in a globalized market. Waja Konsortium Bhd's growth trajectory is mixed. The company reported a negative EPS of MYR -0.05 in the latest quarter, indicating a decline in profitability. The free cash flow of MYR 4,380,810 is positive, but the operating cash flow is negative at MYR -6,415,070, suggesting operational inefficiencies or high working capital requirements. The capital expenditure of MYR -468,300 indicates ongoing investment in infrastructure, which may support future growth but could also strain short-term liquidity. The company faces several risk factors, including medium liquidity risk due to negative net cash and a low dilution risk. The ESG controversies score of 100.0 is the highest possible, indicating significant environmental, social, and governance issues. The governance and social pillars score poorly at 22.0 and 21.8, respectively, suggesting weak corporate governance and social responsibility practices. These ESG risks could impact the company's reputation and access to capital. Recent events include the disclosure of a negative EPS and a high ESG controversies score. The company has not issued any recent press releases or filed significant regulatory updates, but the negative EPS and ESG score suggest potential operational and governance challenges.
