MYanmar another bad business decision for Tguan management.

according to management in 2023
The Group is keen to invest in Myanmar in view of many advantages such as
availability of low-cost labour, very competitive prices and tax incentives. However, military coup had affected inflow of investments in Myanmar and slowed down the whole process for the Group as well. Management is keeping a ‘wait and see’ position and would monitor the situation closely before making the next move.

2. Golden Age of the FPSO cycle

2.1 Strong global FPSO outlook
Rystad Energy estimates that total offshore upstream Oil & Gas and CCS
investments to grow at a 5% CAGR from 2023 to 2027E, where the bulk of
the growth would come from greenfield and brownfield capex – see Figure
4. In 2024-2030E, deepwater (125-1,500m) and ultra-deepwater (>1,500m)
will spearhead offshore liquids production growth at an estimated CAGR of
2.2% and 8.0% each

FPSOs are often the most popular/feasible option for developing oil & gas
fields in such depths as pipeline installation/construction can be extremely
expensive and technically challenging. While FPSOs are not exclusively used
in deepwater and ultra-deepwater, they are particularly well-suited for
these environments due to their ability to handle their unique challenges
and complexities.

We think the FPSO market is currently in the “Golden Age” due to a robust
global tender pipeline – with an expected 60 awards from 2024-2028E

OSK to acquire Universal Cable. In Sep-24, OSK has entered into S&P agreements with Universal Cable acquiring 2 manufacturing plants for RM85m (total NBV stood at RM146.0m). Universal Cable primarily manufactures and sells telecommunication and power cables, complementing the existing products portfolio of Olympic Cable (97.47%-indirectly owned), which produces copper, aluminium, fire-resistant, solar DC, fibre optic and transmission cables.

Beside disposing earning business, higher minimum wages and proposed EPF contribution for foreign workers also will impact coming quarters earning as Tguan is heavily rely on foreign workers

future earning will drop due to dispose earning business

Niki, it's from Maybank

We favour: i) defensive midstream companies – with Dialog as our pick; and
ii) FPSO players which are poised to ride on the global deep and ultradeepwater capex investments – with Bumi Armada as our pick.

Consequently, our PE based target price is revised to RM0.46 (RM0.67 previously), and we maintain our Underperform call on Chin Well.

It should be value at least PE15 instaed of current PE7. 100% upside potential in near term.

OSK all business segments will be perform much better in 2025.

Property - Massive launch in recent years will bring to profit once their construction catch up which will be next year

Cable - benefit from data center and industrial areas, they are running at full capacity and on going to acquire Universal Cable at 85mil.

Hotel - Hot hotel demand accross entire malaysia.

Finance/Loan - Growing loan porfolio since they get the license to distribute loan to civil servant.

This is the best strategy of how to make fortune from listing company.

Start a new business, if the business fail (like 2018 restaurant) , keep inside the company, all the share holders bite the bullet.

If the new business is growing, Ang family bought over and the money pay from them cash back from dividend.

and the worst part is they use the cash to pay dividend rather than expansion for their own business.

selling golden goose which contribute to profit 6mil a year.

(ii) Loss of potential future income from STGT Group

With the Proposed Disposal, TGIB will be disposing STGT Group and STGT Group will
cease to be subsidiaries of TGIB upon completion of the Proposed Disposal. TGIB
Group will no longer be able to recognise the share of results of STGT Group and
receive any future dividend income which may be declared and paid on the Sale Shares
by STGT.

Dispose earning business is not a good idea, this will cause earning less RM6,392,000 , around 10% of profit in future.

Liihen has stop their dividend payment in latest quarter, dun be fool by outdated dividend rate.

PB Bank lower TP to RM0.46

Consequently, our PE based target price is revised to RM0.46 (RM0.67 previously), and we maintain our Underperform call on Chin Well

https://klse1.i3investor.com/servlets/ptres/73632.jsp

Maintain SELL, with new MYR0.65 TP from MYR0.76, 34% downside. Chin
Well’s 1QFY25 (Jun) results missed expectations due to weaker-thanexpected sales and margin. We revise our forecasts on expectations of
continued soft earnings in the upcoming quarters due to prolonged demand
weakness and loss of economies of scale.

accumulated losses finally turn to retained earning 326,899mil .
Prepare yourself for a surprise dividend at any time.

after disposal, earning will be reduce 10% , around 6millions per year

To make the deal fair, either BAB PE goes up to 14x or MISC PE goes down to 4x.

the deal’s pricing will be crucial. MISC's valuation, trading at approximately 14x
P/E, significantly exceeds BAB's 4x, which highlights the need for careful consideration in valuing the former’s offshore assets.

We believe that BAB is worth 79 sen while BAB’s BVPS is even higher at RM1.05;

BAB’s current share price of 50 sen appears to undervalue the company.

The potential merger, if it happens, may unlock the valuation of BAB to better reflect what we believe to be its underlying fundamental valuation.

KUALA LUMPUR (Nov 15): The proposed merger between Bumi Armada Bhd (KL:ARMADA) and MISC Bhd’s (KL:MISC) offshore businesses is expected to result in MISC holding a 68% majority stake in the new entity, with a combined valuation of RM14.6 billion, according to CIMB Securities.

Armada NTA 1.05

Bumi Armada Bhd., an oil field services provider controlled by Malaysian tycoon T. Ananda Krishnan, is considering buying MISC Bhd.’s offshore energy business, according to people with knowledge of the matter.

Talks between the companies are at an advanced stage and a non-binding agreement may be signed as soon as this week, said the people, asking not to be identified because the process is private. While details such as valuation are still being discussed, a potential transaction will likely involve a share swap that will give MISC a significant minority stake in Bumi Armada, the people said.

Discussions surrounding Malaysian shipping giant MISC’s potential acquisition of compatriot floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) vessel contractor Bumi Armada have resurfaced, with Upstream's sources hinting that an official announcement may be imminent, possibly within the next one to two weeks.

A potential deal would significantly bolster MISC’s position in the FPSO market, granting the company access to a larger, more diverse fleet of operational units as well as a pipeline of ongoing projects.

These negotiations first came to light in July when Malaysian media revealed that MISC, a subsidiary of national energy giant Petronas which holds the majority 51% interest, was in talks to acquire a “substantial stake” in Bumi.

MISC at the time downplayed the speculation, stating that it “actively explores investment opportunities that could add value for its shareholders" although an informed source told Upstream that these negotiations had, in fact, started early in 2024.combined entity would allow MISC to benefit from economies of scale, streamline operations and enhance its competitiveness in the global FPSO market. By pooling resources, the two companies could also improve their ability to secure long-term contracts with oil and gas operators and expand their portfolio, increasing their chances of winning future tenders.

“There will be significant synergies in operations, maintenance and project execution,” said one FPSO industry expert based in Singapore.

“By combining assets, the companies could reduce costs, optimise asset utilisation and boost project delivery efficiency.”

The merger would also offer strategic access to key offshore regions. Bumi Armada has a strong presence in regions including Southeast Asia, India and West Africa — markets where FPSO operations are critical to offshore oil and gas production. The tie-up would enable MISC to strengthen its footprint in these high-demand areas.

Beyond operational synergies, the deal could diversify MISC’s revenue streams. While the shipping behemoth is primarily known for its liquefied natural gas carrier and tanker businesses, an expanded FPSO portfolio could provide stable cash flows from long-term lease arrangements, serving as a hedge against volatility in other sectors of the energy market.

In response to Upstream's query on the matter, MISC said: "We do not respond to speculation.

"Rest assured, we will communicate with relevant stakeholders if and when there is material development in any of the various opportunities we explore as part of our ordinary course of business."

At the time of publication, Bumi Armada had not responded to Upstream's request for formal comment.
