A look at the 10-year financial performance shows that Cresbld is a profitable company. It suffered a sharp drop in revenue in FY2013 due to the completion of certain projects that carried high material cost. With EPS of 32.6 sen for FY13, Cresbld (at RM1.63 now) has a trailing PE of 4.5 times. At this PER, the stock is deemed inexpensive.

The only concern is its high receivable figure of RM191 million as at 31/3/2014. Based on a revenue of RM223 million,  Cresbld's debtors' collection period stood at 312 days.
