Do note the high NP of $9.5m for FY2018 included a $3.9m tax credit (of which $3.7m taken in 4Q). From the commentary in the results announcement, the tax credit
"was due to the recognition of deferred tax assets from unutilised tax losses and capital allowances of two subsidiaries. It is probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available in the foreseeable future which will allow the subsidiaries to utilise the tax benefits to offset their tax expenses."
I thought the above statement is very encouraging, as it means Grand Banks' management and BOD are confident about future profits, and likely the next approx. $25.0m of the 2 subsidiaries' PBT (assuming a blended income tax rate of 20%, and based on the $5.02m deferred tax assets balance in the latest 30Jun18 group B/S) would be 'tax free'.

Just wondering if this is more of a cyclical stock. If one were to view it this way, then entry points should be made when the stocks gets very beaten down. Personally i wont view it as a value stock such that i buy and hold

As expensive yachts are passionate toys for a certain category of rich men, and rich men who can sustain their wealth and lifestyle would continue to consume and buy material things to enrich their lives, I suppose if a yacht company can have the right products and smart marketing, there should be business out there throughout the normal economic cycles. The fact that the luxe Mercedes S-Class continues to sell with each model upgrade supports this market/business logic.
Genting Group through their listed Hong Kong unit Genting Hong Kong Ltd is now that largest shareholder (26.9%) of GB, and Genting's patriarch Tan Sri Lim Kok Thay owns another 1.66% in his personal name. Perhaps someone can ask Tan Sri Lim how he looks at his and Genting's investment in GB?
