From Masteel ANNUAL REPORTS
FY2015 OVERVIEW Steel industry players in Malaysia faced tremendous pricing and cost pressures in the year under review, stemming from both external and domestic aspects. Internationally, the flood of exceptionally low priced steel emanating from China resulted in the closure of many steel mills worldwide including Malaysia. Locally, the upward revision in electricity and natural gas tariffs resulted in higher operating costs, while the drastic weakening of the MYR versus major foreign currencies contributed towards additional import costs challenges. These negative factors further exacerbated the decline of steel bar prices worldwide of more than 30% in the short span of a year, as well as heightened imports of steel bars into Malaysia. Such imports, while cheap, were often not in conformance to standards set by SIRIM, hence displacing the local steel industry whose market share of steel products was reduced from 62.6% in 2014 to 49.2% in 2015. Although the environment was not favourable for steel players, the Group performed commendably and remained resilient, and delivered RM1.14 billion in revenue in FY2015. Of this, sales to the domestic market made up 92.3% or RM1.06 billion versus RM1.41 billion earlier. Notably, export sales, which contributed to the remaining 7.7%, more than doubled to RM88.2 million from RM41.9 million in the previous year on the back of the weaker MYR. Additionally, we had diligently put in place the necessary building blocks to set the stage for the Group’s future growth. The Group had, in October 2015, began commissioning our new rolling mill in Bukit Raja, Selangor, which would effectively increase our total steel bar production capacity from 450,000 metric tonnes (MT) per year to 650,000 MT per year. Not only would the larger production levels contribute significantly towards additional revenue, but also enhance our bottomline by virtue of offering higher value-added premium steel bars. Moreover, as the new rolling mill adjoins our existing meltshop, we stand to benefit from optimized operating costs due to lower energy consumption and transportation charges. The new rolling mill is expected to have a positive impact on the Group’s performance in the new financial year ending 31 December 2016 (FY2016) and onwards. To date, our efforts have already started to bear fruit, as witnessed in tangible improvements to our financial health since the fourth quarter of FY2015 with substantially narrower losses compared to the preceding quarters
. PROSPECTS The domestic steel industry is set to benefit from resilient demand of steel bars in 2016 and over the coming years, driven by the implementation of key infrastructure projects throughout the nation by the Malaysian Government. This includes the construction of various major expressways and the Klang Valley Mass Rapid Transit (KVMRT), as well as increased property development activity in line with population growth. A major part of this development boost would be centred in the Klang Valley, where our manufacturing facilities are strategically located. Being one of the two players situated in close proximity to major construction activity in this region,
According to Masteel Annual Report
The prospects for 2016 will be resilient!
1) HUGE INFRAR PROJECTS THROUGHOUT THE NATION
2) MAJOR EXPRESS WAYS
3) KLANG VALLEY MRT (Lots & Lots of Long Steel Bars by Masteel needed)
4) INCREASED PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITY (Especially in Booming Iskandar)
5) MASTEEL's MANUFACTURING ACTIVITIES STRATEGICALLY LOCATED
As Annjoo has recorded a very good set of results. And SSteel also garnered over Rm40 millions profit (the Rm140 million loss was from impairment) Masteel should be doing well also.
Unlike KYY & ICON8888 who only turn bullish AFTER Prices Have Gone Up and Then Start Promoting
CALVIN TELLS ALL TO LOAD UP LAGGARD MASTEEL WHILE IT IS STILL CHEAP!!

And he who laugh last laugh the loudest. Hope you guys are still around then. If you haven't bought these - CBIP, MHC Plant, Pinepac, BPlant, ThPlant & more plantation stocks - you better load up now.

Calvin replies.
I don't gamble. Just invest regularly & systematically into a basket of VALUEGROWTH Stocks. Then sit back. If prices should drop and fundamental still sound just add a little more as price gets cheaper.
