IJM Corp gets approval for RM1.4bil New Pantai Highway extension and toll restructuring
PETALING JAYA: IJM Corp Bhd has received approval from the Ministry of Works for the New Pantai Highway Extension and the toll restructuring for the existing New Pantai Highway.
In a release, IJM noted the extension will have a new toll plaza and be funded by the concessionaire, New Pantai Expressway Sdn Bhd (NPESB).
Construction works are expected to commence in the third quarter of 2025 and cost the group RM1.4bil to complete. The 15km highway extension is targeted to be operational by 2029.
Meanwhile, the toll restructuring of the existing New Pantai Highway entails maintaining current toll rates until the expiry of the concession period.
Apart from easing congestion, IJM stated the extension project is expected to generate economic spillover benefits of RM5.6bil, unlocking growth for nearby developments such as Pantai Sentral Park and Bangsar South.
The existing New Pantai Highway or Expressway is a 19.6km dual carriageway developed by NPESB, a subsidiary of IJM Corp.

IJM continues to target more job wins for FY26
PETALING JAYA: IJM Corp Bhd is aiming for a higher project replenishment target for its financial year 2026 (FY26) despite missing its target again in its FY25 ended March 31, analysts say. UOB Kay Hian Research (UOBKH Research) said that the construction and property group guided for a higher replenishment range of between RM6bil and 7bil in FY26 after the release of its FY25 results, which beat expectations. A decent chunk of the replenishments will be from the delayed New Pantai Expressway (NPE) extension worth RM1.4bil and government housing project in Nusantara, Indonesia, estimated at RM1bil. Other key replenishment opportunities include the Penang LRT, the Penang Airport and road projects in Sabah and Sarawak. For FY25, IJM reported a core net profit of RM526.9mil, up 55.5% year-on-year following recognition of major construction milestones that saw its construction-segment earnings picking up significantly during 4Q25. Otherwise, UOBHK Research said that property sales had softened due to delayed launches, while infrastructure earnings declined due to lower throughput for tolls and ports. The construction segment's order book came in at RM11.1bil, comprising RM6.6bil from local jobs and RM4.5bil from foreign jobs in Singapore and Britain. Total job replenishments for the division stood at RM2.7bil. Meanwhile, Hong Leong Investment Bank Research (HLIB Research) said the recent approval for the long-awaited RM1.4bil NPE extension project will lift the group's order book. 'With this win, IJM has hit 40% of our FY26 contract-win assumption and we anticipate more wins this year mainly from data centres and the Nusantara project in Indonesia. 'On the balance-sheet front, IJM's low net gearing of 0.28 times provides ample space to fund the projects,' HLIB Research said. According to the research house, the NPE extension project will be fully funded by the company with no financial commitment from the government. The 15km extension will be fully elevated, linking three major highways – IJM's existing NPE and Besraya highways – with the upcoming LIKE Expressway. Construction will begin in the third quarter of this year with completion slated in 2029. Once operational, the NPE extension is poised to add to IJM's recurring income stream, said HLIB Research. As for the group's property division, UOBKH Research said total property sales came in at RM1.5bil in FY25 as delayed launches back in 3Q25 resulted in sales coming in at the lower end of IJM's target. Unbilled sales stood at RM1.54bil and going forward, IJM is targeting RM2bil in sales in FY26 in line with its previous guidance prior to the delays. As for the group's British ventures, contributions from its newly acquired JRL Group Holdings Ltd could begin as early as FY26. 'The current construction churn rate for the JRL Group is around £400mil with net margins of between 2% and 3%. 'While JRL is currently loss-making, this is largely due to balance-sheet issues causing project delays, which should be solved via a capital injection,' UOBKH Research said. The research house has a 'buy' rating on the stock with a higher target price of RM3.15 from RM3 before.

IJM Corp's construction book may expand to RM11bil with new deals
KUALA LUMPUR: IJM Corp Bhd is expected to see growth in its construction order book and a pickup in property earnings going into financial year 2026 (FY26). Hong Leong Investment Bank Bhd (HLIB Research) said the group's outstanding order book stands at RM6.6 billion, representing 2.6 times cover on FY25 construction revenue. The firm said IJM's effective order book could expand to RM11.1 billion, including contributions from construction associates JRL Group, which is pending completion, and Hexacon. "Contracts secured in FY25 amounted to RM2.7 billion, falling below management's guidance of RM5 billion, largely due to delays in the NPE extension. Nevertheless, IJM has started FY26 strongly, securing approval for the NPE extension worth RM1.4 billion. "Management is targeting a replenishment rate of RM6 billion to RM8 billion, backed by five to six data centre tenders, Penang LRT Segment 2, and airport jobs, in addition to NPE 2.0 and Nusantara PFI," it said in a note. HLIB Research also anticipates the potential conversion of two Nusantara private finance initiatives in FY26, namely the public housing project worth RM1.5 billion and the 26km multi-utility tunnel project. "In our view, IJM, possibly through a joint venture, could generate returns from availability charges. However, the conversion of the latter could spill over into FY27, in our view," it added. The research house remains upbeat on the group's longer-term prospects in the ports segment. This is supported by investments in MCKIP, the ECRL and the Phase 1 carbon capture, utilisation and storage project under the National Energy Transition Roadmap, which could add five million tonnes per annum of throughput. HLIB Research said toll volumes remained healthy in the fourth quarter and expressed confidence that the NPE restructuring will not result in toll rate cuts in the near term. It noted that IJM has also maintained that plans to monetise mature highways remain in place, though the timing remains uncertain. The firm has kept its 'Buy' call on IJM, raising its target price slightly to RM2.96 from RM2.92. "We continue to see trading opportunities in the stock given its valuation discount to peers, potential contract wins and monetisation news flow. "Key catalysts include contract awards, while risks involve unfavourable restructuring terms, high material costs and labour shortages," it said.
