Harrisons – is slow infrastructure development its moat?
You would have thought that with the growth of online business, the fortunes of distribution companies like Bursa Malaysia Harrisons would be distrupted. But over the past decade, Harrisons revenue grew at 5% CAGR with its profits growth at 8% CAGR.
Harrisons main distribution business is in Sabah and Sarawak. I suspect that because these states are less developed, the last mile service critical to online business is not so well developed. So there is greater reliance on the brick-and-mortar outlets. This is Harrisons forte and you could say that slow infrastructure development is its moat.
