If UK wins a second term, buy Centum in bucket loads. The DJ is close to the UK administration unlike MK who favoured Transcentury. Hence why Centum won the Geothermal and Coal power plant projects.

If NASA wins, sell Centum the next day after results are announced.

Buying ICDC is a no brainer. The fundamentals are right, management is solid, sharp and connected, the company is super diversified, book value per share is still very low and projects in the pipeline are mind boggling. And thankfully we just munched a juicy dividend. Let's pray they boost those going forward instead of over-rewarding management with thick bonuses every year.

Can someone explain to to me how Centum declares/generates profits? It seems that the company's profits vary from year to year, and it doesn't seem to have a lot of cash at hand. From past company reports, all that is emphasized is NAV growth, which is cool, but doesn't really shed light on internal operations (for example, EAPC probably has a NAV that's higher than the current share price, but it isn't a really good company).

There's also no guarantee that dividends will continue being issued to shareholders.

It seems like a good company, but as Warren Buffet said, don't invest in things you don't understand.

Interesting question. I think the (interim) financial statements make it pretty clear how ICDC does this.

The engine of the company that was organising lucrative deals is gone.
Future prospects look gloomy.
