- 10. Page 10 INVESTMENT RECOMMENDATION According to LBS Bina Berhad profitability ratio, the return on equity (ROE), net profit margin (NPM) and gross profit margin (GPM) has improved and showed positive signs for the business. Even though the general expenses ratio (GER) increase from the year 2012 to the year 2013, the overall profit has indicated that the business is doing fairly well. LBS Bina Berhad ability to pay off its current liabilities had slightly decreased from 1.78:1 to 1.51:1 but it still did not satisfy the 2:1 ratio of staying within the borderline of borrowing. Besides that, LBS’s total debt ratio (TDR) showed that its total debt has decreased from 63.2% to 56.58% in 2013. Having the TDR in 2013 below 50% ensured that the business will not have a higher risk of bankruptcy. Their stock turnover has taken a shorter period of time so they are taking a shorter time to generate more cash quickly, making the business to be able to pay off its liabilities. Moreover, LBS Bina Berhad interest coverage ratio (ICR) has also shown an improvement in the business’ ability to pay its interest expense. LBS Bina Berhad earned more profit in 2013 compared to 2012. In other words, the company has demonstrated a decent profitability and financial stability and its shares are available at a cheaper price (P/E Ratio <8.7). An investor will need to wait for a period of time that is 1.625 years (19.5 months) as of 2013 to recoup his investment. The company has shown good promise in terms of their growth in revenue. As such, LBS Bina Berhad has proven to be a stable company. So, LBS Bina Berhad’s share is worth to invest back then. However, the graph of the share price of 2015 shows that LBS Bina Berhad is not making profit as the economy in Malaysia is not stable and recession. It is not recommended to invest LBS Bina Berhad.
