Probably 1 of the most stingy contractor/small developer around. For most of reporting, they gave only 0.5cts and only last year it was 2cts. Not sure about the coming reporting season. Guess this must be the reason the stock is up?

I also find out info so late, Kim Eng report was 4months back and yet it can still move to meet the target price of 68cts.

What else can it offer up to 2014 then the result will be the best, so likely will be status quo 2cts! 40yrs anniversary! almost as old as SIngapore!

IMO,

this company is towkay and controlling stakeholders huat zai at expense of smallholders.

But it has progessively been raising dividends for the past decade, a clear sign that this company is having growing and sustainable business.(albeit peanut sized still in relation to share value)

***Raising dividends over a decade to me is strongest indication that the company is making more and more money over a decade. V unlikely the works of colourful auditing.

need to find its dividend policy, 40% ? 40yrs anniversary up dividend 1cts (=3cts,5%) would be most happy for shareholders.

After enduring so many years, shldrs of other contractor turn developer are enjoying bonus and rewarding shldrs equitably. How about a bonus, to bring EPS back to the norm, as thats how developer like Roxy, LKH and Sim Lian market cap and confidence grow?

This Company directors are the most careful but by industry standard too stingy!

DEVELOPER Lian Beng Group is pulling back from the slowing residential property sector, executive chairman Ong Pang Aik said yesterday.

Mr Ong told The Straits Times that the firm is not worried about the poor market as it has stopped residential development for a while.

The group currently has several residential property developments, including Flora Ville @ Cactus Road, Flora View and Flora Vista. It owns 10 per cent of these developments.

"We might still be involved in the residential property segment, but it depends on the location and other factors," said Mr Ong, who was speaking after the firm reported third-quarter results.

Net profit for the nine months to Feb 28 hit $50.33 million, up 67 per cent from $30.14 million in same period a year earlier.

Revenue came in at $585.56 million, also up 67 per cent.

Much of the increase was down to sales at M-space, a fully-sold industrial property in Mandai that received its Temporary Occupancy Permit (TOP) in January.

The contribution of revenue from M-space helped boost property development revenue to $177 million.

Robust sales at Midtown Residences and Spottiswoode Suites also provided a steady stream of revenue. Midtown Residences sold 95 per cent of units and Spottiswoode Suites moved 72 per cent.

Construction brought in $310 million in revenue for the period while the ready-mixed concrete unit had sales of $86 million.

Mr Ong said in a statement: "We are on track for a bountiful (full year) with record revenue and profit."

Earnings per share rose from 5.69 cents to 9.5 cents per share while net asset value stood at 57.46 cents, up from 49.2 cents as at May 31 last year.

Mr Ong noted: "Our main focus in the future will still be the construction segment, but we will also be looking at industrial, commercial and mixed development properties."

He added that the firm will look at making acquisitions. It has also invested in a Malaysian subsidiary, Lian Beng Resources.

"The subsidiary will be producing granite, which is very important for the construction industry," said Mr Ong.

Lian Beng shares closed up 0.5 cent at 65 cents yesterday.
