It seems many misinterpreted PBA’s deferred tax expense/liability.
To provide context, in 2018, PBA reported a loss after tax due to a significant RM137.60 million deferred tax liability. However, this was a non-cash flow item, as clarified in PBA’s 2018 Annual Report (page 13):
"Please note that the recognition of the deferred tax liability is a NON-CASH FLOW item. The ACTUAL tax that is payable by PBAHB to the IRB for FY2018 is only RM1.55 million, based on a PBT of RM36.14 mi...

Performance was good. Need to understand the financial report.
3Q24 PBT RM42.2m +45% yoy, revenue RM139.9m +22% yoy.
Deferred tax expense is a non-cashflow item. Actual income tax paid is low.
9M24 Cash flow from operations before working capital changes RM159.4m +58% yoy
Budget announced that there will be a 2% dividend tax in 2025. So, if PBA pays a much higher dividend upfront now in 2024 will be good for everyone. PBA has yet to decide on the dividend amount.

Wall Street banks are in a frenzy over "The Next AI Trade," piling into the 'Powering up America' investment themes. These include power grid companies, commodities such as copper and uranium, as well as artificial intelligence chipmakers. However, the issue of water consumption has been relatively overlooked.

Trump is the first former president to reclaim the office since Grover Cleveland in 1892 and becomes only the second president after Gerald Ford in 1975 to survive two assassination attempts.
