PROSPECT
OCK and its local partner King Royal Technologies Co Ltd in Yangon, Myanmar managed to successfully build over 600 telecom towers.
OCK's 60% subsidiary, OCK Vietnam Towers Pte Ltd completed the acquisition of Southeast Asia Telecommunications Holdings Pte Ltd (Seath), which is Vietnam's largest independent tower company. Sealth owns 1,983 telecom towers in Vietnam.

CONCLUSION

With RM 0.92 (closing price on 3/4/2017), PE ratio is 29.68 which is consider overvalue. Price to book value will be 1.84 which is also consider overvalue.From my opnion, if OCK can achieve 30% growth of net profit in Year 2017, then it can be still acceptable for P/E and P/B ratio.Is it still able to buy now? I don’t know! This is a company that are not giving out dividends. So if you are looking for dividend company, this is not the company. If you are looking for growing company, OCK is the company that u looking for.
