In the last few months, Mr Ooi Teck Bee has been writing about the rise of steel price and how it has been benefiting all the listed steel companies. All his subscribers of his weekly circulars, would have read his articles. In fact, yesterday Mr Ooi rang to ask me to look at Melewar which has net cash. It is controlled by the royal family of Negri Sembilan.
All the steel companies have been reporting increasing profit in the last few quarters despite the Covid 19 pandemic lockdown when most of the construction of infrastructures and properties are affected. All the steel companies will surely make more and more profit when there is no more movement control. They all have good profit growth prospect.
To support Mr Ooi, I am writing this piece.
Why the prise of steel continues to rise?
China is the biggest steel producer in the world
China’s economic progress is unstoppable by the West especially USA. Since China will soon become the richest Nation in the world and it has not neglected its social responsibility in reducing the use of coal to produce steel and to reduce air pollution. China has reduced steel production and stopped steel export as China requires all the steel for its own property and infrastructure development.
The steel price chart below shows the price of steel has been going up about 50% in the last 12 months.
As a result, all the companies involved in steel manufacture in Malaysia have benefited. That is why all of them are reporting increasing profit in the last few quarters. Moreover, most of the local steel companies are currently enjoying strong cash flows and reasonably good demand visibility in the intermediate term despite of the movement restriction due to the Covid 19 pandemic.

The above table is a comparison of all the listed steel companies in Malaysia. You can see the comparison of the latest quarter EPS for each company. I divided their latest EPS by their share prices to show how much EPS for every Rm 1.00 investment. For example, if you invest Rm 1.00 in Leon Fuat you will get 9.65 sen for 1 quarter. You will get 4 X 9.65 sen = 38.6 sen per year.
There are 1,100 listed companies in Malaysia. Can you find another listed company as good as Leon Fuat?

U.S. President Joe Biden and other G7 leaders hope their plan, known as the Build Back Better World (B3W) initiative, will provide a transparent infrastructure partnership to help narrow the $40 trillion needed by developing nations by 2035, the White House said.
So all building material price will increase so are many commodities price due to every country printing more money. The day of hyper inflation is here.
So need to know what to invest in order to beat inflation and keep the value of your money.

I think Insas is low risk high reward if the controlling shareholder intend to unlock the value.
Hope Inari next phase of expansion will be the catalyst to unlock Insas value.

low risk high rewards
They call themselves investors. But they also can get the risk wrong. Serba for a long time is considered a low PE low risk share but turns out to be a mistake. sad. or just plain unlucky.
Serba was never a low risk high rewards stock for serba expand into non core competant business too fast with too much borrow money.
2021-06-13 19:19
yes Serba a lot of red flags but one red flag people over look..... Serba under perform analyst expectations long long time already. many correctly call Serba a sadist stock long long time already
2021-06-13 20:36
stocks that over perform analyst expectations is called over valued.... but stocks that under perform analyst expectations is also a red flag

serba surely had a lot of flags before KPMG but many red flags and many stocks with red flags never become red bombs.

Generally, steel industry is considered capital intensive where profitability can swing widely depending on a variety of reasons. If for instance, if demand is low due to a economic downturn, it can report huge quarterly losses due to reduced revenue, loan repayments, depreciation etc . So we need to consider this when buying steel stocks.
