I have just uploaded a scorecard for KKB Engineering (column in the right). This is a company which has a very steady balance sheet, earnings and low gearing and as you can see scores a magnificent 12. On top of that it has been bucking the recent KLSE downtrend, which makes this counter valuable for its low beta. In 2007 it experienced a big spurt in sales revenue which has helped growth and it has very wisely taken the opportunity to remove some debt from its balance sheet. This is good ole fashioned honestly run company which sticks to what its good at and is a good investment if you are looking to ride the growth in development and infrastructure in the region. Am adding to my portfolio!
