hi all
PRESS METAL should not be compared to ALCOM--one is a producer of Alum ingots (the finished product of P.Metal becomes the inpur raw material ) while the other is user ( a sort converter into products which are supplied to other manufacturer to make end consumer products )

Hello, pls correct me if I'm wrong. KYY said above that Press Metal is involved in the smelting of Aluminum, meaning extracting it from it's ores. Whereas ALCOM is only involved is the manufacturing of Aluminum products. So, ALCOM does not benefit from the increase in Alum prices, in fact they will suffer because Aluminum is an input material for ALCOM and they would have to buy it at a higher price. Only Press Metal will benefit from the increase in Aluminum prices. Am I right? Appreciate your comments, thank you.

okay, let's us look at another scenario.
Why is Public Bank selling higher than Affin Bank since they are doing the same kind of business? Both have banking license.
