An official blog in i3investor to publish sharing by Mr. Koon Yew Yin.

When my critics see this article, they will comment that I had posted many articles to promote Leon Fuat before and why should I promote Hiap Teck now? Many stupid critics will comment that when old man KYY encourages you to buy Hiap Teck, you should sell. Please sell quickly!!!  

On 24 June I posted my article to promote Leon Fuat because its EPS for the quarter ending March was 11.56 sen when its share price was below Rm 1.00. Among all the steel listed companies Leon Fuat has the best profit growth rate. Leon Fuat buys steel to make steel products, mostly for the building industry.

 

The above steel price chart shows the steel price has shot up more than 300% from $500 to $1,825 in the last 1 year. Since the steel price has gone up more than 300% in the last 1 year as shown on the steel price chart below, Leon Fuat has to buy steel at higher price and has to sell its finished products at much higher prices.

Shougang Group of China has joint venture with Hiap Teck to produce steel.

Hiap Teck is different from Leon Fuat. Hiap Teck is producing steel and steel products. Its latest quarter ending April EPS was 4.79 sen.

It should report faster profit growth rate than leon Fuat in the next few quarters due to the rapid steel price increase.

Conditions have changed: China is the biggest steel producer in the world. Since China wants to reduce the use of coal to reduce air pollution, it has reduced steel production and has stopped steel export. China requires all the steel for its own property and infrastructure development. As a result, steel price has shot up from $ 500 to $ 1,825 as shown on the chart.

Shougang Group of China has joint venture with Hiap Teck to produce steel.

All investors must know what is Eastern Steel Sdn Bhd.

BACKGROUND:

Eastern Steel Sdn Bhd (ESSB) is an Integrated Iron and Steel Mill under the joint venture of Hiap Teck Venture Berhad (HTVB) with Shougang Group of China. HTVB is one of the leading steel companies in Malaysia and listed on the main board of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad in 2003. Eastern Steel’s foreign partner – Shougang Group of China was established in the year 1919. Shougang is a well-diversified group in the iron and steel making, mining, machinery, electronics, architecture, real estate, service, overseas engineering contracting and trading.

The change in ownership structure of Eastern Steel Sdn. Bhd. (“ESSB”), started in March 2018, was completed in the FY 2019. Following this, the shareholders of ESSB are now Shanxi Jianlong Industry Company Ltd. (“Jianlong”), HTVB and Chinaco Investment Pte. Ltd. (“Chinaco”) with shareholdings of 60%, 35% and 5%, respectively.

ESSB, now a 35%-owned (from 55% previously) joint-venture of HTVB, operates a fully integrated blast furnace steel plant with a rated annual production capacity of 700,000 MT. With the strong support and technical assistance from our new partner, Jianlong, ESSB has successfully re-ignited its blast furnace and resumed production on 16 July 2018. Production has been smooth since and the plant is now running at above rated capacity. In FY 2019, ESSB has also successfully added a billet caster and commenced construction of a 55MW power plant and will complete in October 2019. The addition of billets to our offering of slabs will afford ESSB the flexibility to optimize its revenue mix, while the completion of the power plant will further help reduce production cost.

ESSB manufactures steel slabs for the steel re-rolling industries. Its manufacturing complex occupies 1200 acres of land and located at Teluk Kalung, Kemaman, Terengganu. The plant comprises of:-
* Raw Material Yard
* Ironmaking Plant:
* Sinter Plant
* Blast Furnace Plant
* Pig Iron Caster

* Steelmaking Plant:
* Converter with Ladle Refining Furnace
* Slab Continuous Casting Machine
* Oxygen Plant
* Billet Caster Plant
* 55MV Power Plant

Its production capacity is 700,000 metric tons per annum and aims to achieve an annual production of 3 million metric tons in the near future.

Uncle KYY, the price of Leon Fuat was around 85 to 95 sen and Hiap Teck was around 50 sen for the past 6 weeks? you have been screaming sell during that period.The price held steady when you scream sell.Now you change your mind.
I think you are at least one month behind OTB. looks like now you totally agree with all that is said by OTB. Why ? You go from one extreme to another. its classic comedy.
its ok you made a mistake.We all do.just admit it and move on.

The 2 counters that benefited the most from increase in steel price are Ann Joo and Hiaptek. Both are cost leaders due to their more advanced steel making technology using modern Blast Furnace.

Ann Joo currently current annual rated capacity is 820,000 MT and three Rolling Mills with a total annual rated capacity of 650,000MT. Some 10 years ago Ann Joo has invested over RM 1 billion to upgrade its first and only modern Blast Furnace in Malaysia, which is also the first and only hybrid combination of Blast Furnace and Electric Arc.

Hiaptek's Eastern Steel currently operates at 700MT capacity and will soon increase to 1,500,000 MT next year.
