Equity Bottom-Up

<ul>
 <li>
Turnaround Story with Diversified Operations: Protasco has successfully pivoted from a net loss in 2022 to profitability, driven by its core Maintenance and Construction segments. The company's diversified business model, which also includes engineering, property development, and education, provides multiple revenue streams, though with varying degrees of success.</li>
 <li>
Favorable Industry Tailwinds: The Malaysian construction sector is experiencing robust growth, projected to expand significantly in 2025, fueled by government infrastructure spending, private investment, and foreign direct investment. This provides a strong demand backdrop for Protasco's primary services.</li>
 <li>
Valuation Appears Attractive but Risks Remain: The company trades at low valuation multiples (P/E of 6.8x, P/B of 0.5x), suggesting a potential value opportunity. However, a history of corporate governance issues, inconsistent profitability, and a zero-dividend policy warrant a cautious approach from investors.</li>
