Returns On Capital At Suria Capital Holdings Berhad (KLSE:SURIA) Paint A Concerning Picture

What financial metrics can indicate to us that a company is maturing or even in decline? Businesses in decline often have two underlying trends, firstly, a declining return on capital employed (ROCE) and a declining base of capital employed. Basically the company is earning less on its investments and it is also reducing its total assets. So after we looked into Suria Capital Holdings Berhad (KLSE:SURIA), the trends above didn't look too great. AI is about to change healthcare. These 20 stocks are working on everything from early diagnostics to drug discovery. The best part - they are all under $10bn in marketcap - there is still time to get in early. What Is Return On Capital Employed (ROCE)? For those who don't know, ROCE is a measure of a company's yearly pre-tax profit (its return), relative to the capital employed in the business. Analysts use this formula to calculate it for Suria Capital Holdings Berhad: Return on Capital Employed = Earnings Before Interest and Tax (EBIT) ÷ (Total Assets - Current Liabilities) 0.025 = RM33m ÷ (RM1.4b - RM89m) (Based on the trailing twelve months to March 2025). So, Suria Capital Holdings Berhad has an ROCE of 2.5%. In absolute terms, that's a low return and it also under-performs the Infrastructure industry average of 6.5%. See our latest analysis for Suria Capital Holdings Berhad In the above chart we have measured Suria Capital Holdings Berhad's prior ROCE against its prior performance, but the future is arguably more important. If you're interested, you can view the analysts predictions in our free analyst report for Suria Capital Holdings Berhad . The Trend Of ROCE There is reason to be cautious about Suria Capital Holdings Berhad, given the returns are trending downwards. About five years ago, returns on capital were 4.0%, however they're now substantially lower than that as we saw above. Meanwhile, capital employed in the business has stayed roughly the flat over the period. Companies that exhibit these attributes tend to not be shrinking, but they can be mature and facing pressure on their margins from competition. If these trends continue, we wouldn't expect Suria Capital Holdings Berhad to turn into a multi-bagger. Our Take On Suria Capital Holdings Berhad's ROCE In summary, it's unfortunate that Suria Capital Holdings Berhad is generating lower returns from the same amount of capital. Yet despite these poor fundamentals, the stock has gained a huge 106% over the last five years, so investors appear very optimistic. Regardless, we don't feel too comfortable with the fundamentals so we'd be steering clear of this stock for now. Suria Capital Holdings Berhad could be trading at an attractive price in other respects, so you might find our on our platform quite valuable.

Suria Capital refutes claims concerning ferry terminal

Published on: Saturday, July 19, 2025 Published on: Sat, Jul 19, 2025 By: Jonathan Nicholas Text Size: Ng (middle) with Phoon on her right and Saidi beside Phoon during the press conference yesterday. Kota Kinabalu: There is no reason for Suria Capital Holdings Berhad to change management and operations at the Jesselton Point Ferry Terminal (JPFT), especially with a long-term vision of redeveloping the old Kota Kinabalu Port into a vibrant and integrated waterfront destination. Managing Director Datuk Ng Kiat Min refuted reports that suggested a transfer of operational control to Easybook, as well as a mistaken association with Suria Sabah, a privately-owned shopping mall in Kota Kinabalu. Advertisement 'Suria Capital Holdings Berhad would like to emphasise that the Suria Sabah mall is not affiliated in any way with the company. The two entities are entirely distinct and unrelated. 'The JPFT is operated exclusively by Suria Bumiria Sdn Bhd, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Suria Capital Holdings Berhad, and not by Suria Sabah or any other party,' she stressed. Group Chief Financial Officer Phoon Wai Wah said all 23 passenger operators at Jesselton Point have largely benefited from the transition to the Easybook system which eliminated monopoly. 'Previously, smaller businesses were marginalised, but now the fares are standardised. There is no increase to the terminal fee and we plan to implement more controls to avoid illegal activities as well as digital tagging for sustainability of the six islands. 'We categorically refute the claims made concerning the transfer of operational management and allegations of sudden increases in terminal fees. These statements are not only inaccurate, but also damaging to the integrity and sustainability of Sabah's tourism sector,' he said. Phoon said the group is also considering legal action against the perpetrators, suspecting them to be politically motivated. Tour operator Saidi Yusop, said the system brought the smaller fries justice, quadrupling profits from RM3,000 to RM13,000 per week. 'We would be eaten up by touts during the old system. When tourists arrive they would aggresively approach with prices we cannot match. The worst part is there are many incidents where the passengers are abandoned on the island,' he said. Easybook has been appointed solely as the ticketing platform for the Centralised Terminal Ticketing (CTT) system, which facilitates offline ticket transactions to nearby islands. Jesselton Point terminal meanwhile is the main point to six islands surrounding Kota Kinabalu. Ng said the initiative represents not only a strategic use of valuable land assets but their commitment to supporting Sabah's broader vision for urban renewal, tourism and economic diversification. 'A central element of this waterfront revitalisation is the proposed New Ferry Terminal Complex which is of international standard, which will be seamlessly integrated within the proposed Jesselton Docklands masterplan. 'To facilitate the redevelopment, the current ferry operation at Jesselton Point will be temporarily relocated to South Jetty by the end of 2025. 'This interim facility at the South Jetty will maintain island connectivity for around five-six years while the permanent terminal is being developed within the Docklands complex. 'This entire redevelopment effort is not just a property project. It is a strategic transformation initiative beneficial to the State,' she said. Suria Capital is a public-listed government-linked company (GLC), with 51pc equity held by the State Government and 49pc by public shareholders. The Group's primary business is in port operations, undertaken through Sabah Ports Sdn Bhd. which manages eight major ports across Sabah. * Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel and Telegram for breaking news alerts and key updates! * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?

Published on: Wednesday, June 25, 2025 Published on: Wed, Jun 25, 2025 By: Hayati Dzulkifli Text Size: KOTA KINABALU: Suria Capital Holdings Berhad, majority-owned by the Sabah Government, has reported a steady financial performance for the year ending Dec 31, 2024.

Suria Capital Holdings Berhad's (KLSE:SURIA) Shareholders Have More To Worry About Than Only Soft Earnings

Last week's earnings announcement from Suria Capital Holdings Berhad (KLSE:SURIA) was disappointing to investors, with a sluggish profit figure. We did some analysis, and found that there are some reasons to be cautious about the headline numbers. Trump has pledged to "unleash" American oil and gas and these 15 US stocks have developments that are poised to benefit. For anyone who wants to understand Suria Capital Holdings Berhad's profit beyond the statutory numbers, it's important to note that during the last twelve months statutory profit gained from RM3.4m worth of unusual items. While it's always nice to have higher profit, a large contribution from unusual items sometimes dampens our enthusiasm. We ran the numbers on most publicly listed companies worldwide, and it's very common for unusual items to be once-off in nature. Which is hardly surprising, given the name. Assuming those unusual items don't show up again in the current year, we'd thus expect profit to be weaker next year (in the absence of business growth, that is). That might leave you wondering what analysts are forecasting in terms of future profitability. Luckily, you can click here to see an interactive graph depicting future profitability, based on their estimates. We'd posit that Suria Capital Holdings Berhad's statutory earnings aren't a clean read on ongoing productivity, due to the large unusual item. Therefore, it seems possible to us that Suria Capital Holdings Berhad's true underlying earnings power is actually less than its statutory profit. In further bad news, its earnings per share decreased in the last year. At the end of the day, it's essential to consider more than just the factors above, if you want to understand the company properly. So while earnings quality is important, it's equally important to consider the risks facing Suria Capital Holdings Berhad at this point in time. For example, we've discovered 1 warning sign that you should run your eye over to get a better picture of Suria Capital Holdings Berhad. This note has only looked at a single factor that sheds light on the nature of Suria Capital Holdings Berhad's profit. But there is always more to discover if you are capable of focussing your mind on minutiae. Some people consider a high return on equity to be a good sign of a quality business. While it might take a little research on your behalf, you may find this free collection of companies boasting high return on equity, or this list of stocks with significant insider holdings to be useful.
