’s decline in earnings for the first half of financial year ending July 31,2021 (FY21) could be just a bump on the road as its performance is expected to improve in the second half of the year, driven by a pick-up in construction activities and property sales as well as strong order book replenishment prospect. The company’s net profit for the first half ended Jan 31,2021 contracted 33% year-on-year (y-o-y). This was due to the partial return of the movement restraint, which resulted in reduced activities at construction projects, slower progress at property projects and lower traffic at toll roads. Its construction unit was hurt by the downsized MRT2 contract.
