:) we can make money at any price . Just trade smartly

Last candle looks like the tail end of the flag. See if it can test 8.50 today or tmrow. Good short term/long term entry or some pocket money. Trade what you can handle. It looks like a very classical chart but we cannot be 100% sure. Good luck everyone. 8.75 might be another strong resistance next 2 weeks until Qrtly. 14.50 :)

Flag pole and pennant flag pattern forming, good entry if can break out in a few more candle. But the flag is a bit long as market is still undecided . No one can be 100% sure. have to find your confirmation and decide

Very complex data as TNB has excess load capacity of ~20-30% percent, they can reduce the excess capacity to less then 20% but risk of a cascading shutdown during peak usage. This is one way for them to cut some fuel cost. If someone has the time can also do the calculations base on the cost per kWh in the data from jan -June . Average it out . We can randomly see it only increase ~3 cents per kWH from Jan o June (24 cents to 27 cent per Kwh ). We also know ICPT +3.7 cents Kwh for non domestic and +2 cents for domestic will be recovered. TNB should not be in the red. Somebody can help check this too.

Based on the surahanjaya , Mwatt usage from 324.9 K MWH in Jan vs June 382.5k MWH, basic usage increase to 18% in 6 months . The cost is not linear due to its tariff tiering. But on average we should see a 9-10 % increase in revenue. I think 17 -17.5 billion would be the best bet based on this data. Superficial but profil can be 500- 1bil but not in the red. Important to look at the receivables recovery , how much from the 14 Bil? This will path way on the Dividend announcement. The market can be unpredictable.

Deekay and TTV. based on STenaga https://www.st.gov.my/en/web/general/details/364 we can calculate the daily fuel cost and comfirms it with Q1 data.Q1 average fuel cost averages at 7.5 billion, Q2 will be around 8.5-9 Billion. With RP3 ICPT Revenue expected to be around 17 Bil (conservative) . Q1 other operating expenses is around 7 bil. Total Q1 expenses is at 14.5 Bil (7.5 b is fuel). Q2 projected operating expenses is 9 bil (fuel)+ 7.5 billion =16.5 billion. Really a very thin margin unless revenue goes beyond 17 billion. Very rough estimates but the analyst are not expecting much as reflect in the share price. If revenue goes below 17 billion we might see just a small profit. Very rough estimates.

Ladies and gentlemen. Please give us a break in the petty humour. This forum was meant to educate and share with data and analysis. It's getting annoying

Ttv. You can see a flag pole forming with lower low getting higher. I think next week will test 8.50 and break. 8.75 another resistance. Selling volume will be also be high. I think only the quarterly report can break this end of the month. Hopefully not break this. I am very hope full though.

Will go sideways until next week, based on the current average volume. Once it reach 8.75 should see a faster recovery. Good time to accumulated if you think the quarterly profit will be above expectation. We can be sure Revenue will be all time record but still an element of risk on the expenses/receivables/impairment. Good luck ! 14.50 or 4.50 coming :)

Ah pon or no ah pon does not matter, high sell volume now till 8.75... Looks like buying interest is still there but not very strong to break through. Will take some time recover till the quarterly report in 3 weeks time. Interesting time

8.20 support level. Based on the trading volume in Jun 17/20 , profit taking from should take place around this range to 8.25 Looks well supported.

The momentum will sizzle out if no local institutional support, the buy volume is too low at the moment, flip side so is the sell volume. Retailers will start to take profit above >8.50. Let see how it goes. US FEDs seems to project US likely to have a soft landing and dollar index starting to reverse, expect for foreign funds continue to flow in, hopefully to KLSE.

Lower volume breakout. Was expected more sell volume at this price range. Market seems to be more positive , profit taking will most likely take place at a much higher price. 8.5-8.75. USD is expected to stabilized against ringgit. Oil price should remain above USD100 and brings more liquidity to KLSE, Remember Tenaga is >50% by Khazanah/EPF/ASB/KWAP/PNB. Currently the buying is mainly foreign.

Yep hope they can recover the majority of 14 bil receivables . This will allow better dividend payout. I am still hopeful for a >1.2 bil net profit , in a >16.5 Bil revenue range :) Good luck .

Very high volume traded at 8.25-8.75 from Jun 9-20. Will take some strong volume to overcome this resistance as traders will likely to recover their investment. Q2 result will either make or brake this momentum.

Don't miss the boat 14.50 coming

Oil market Money managers have started to close out short positions on oil. (Oilprice.com)
The oil price slump that started mid-June could be about to reverse and by sept once Biden's 1 million barrel a day release from US reserves is over, we could we a huge upside again. Once bank Negara raise the interest rate to match the fed's rate. (another 0.5-0.75 this year) we could see MYR strengthen again and money will flow back in to local market and makes it easier to trade when you see comparative liquidity in the market. Positive sign are there on a KLCI reversal , expect GDP indicator to be on the upside of the forecast. US GDP data will be in this week, i don't expect a recession as Biden just release extra oil reserves in Q2 and based on the news it might be a soft recession in 2023.

Another area of analysis we need to do is the IPP contract retirement , when and possibility. This will remove 60% out of the total generation cost. Not easy to get this data. I remember suppose to be for 21 years for YTL and Malakoff and other cronies companies. Petronas gas is also subsidizing this as well

TTV I like your humor :)... he has half a truth , keep us on our toes check 2011 Q3 and Q4 :)

You make a very good point and keep investors thinking. The losses in primarily due to distillate cost which is 50% higher then the subsidize Petronas gas and also potential profit after tax losses due to taxation and high depreciation/write off. All are possible as we don't have a real view on what's can potential happen but we have to dig further to understand the industry. The coal price/subsidize gas is well control by the ICPT mechanism. Wish everyone earns money . The shorts has stabilize at 0.21% and seen a few good candles lately. Have a great investment

In order for TNB to make a loss, there need to be a surprise like coal and gas disruption and they have to use distillate to power up the plant like what happen in 2011. Remember excess capacity is at 40% (ridiculous) and the plan is to reduce it to 20% in 2035. And also the ridiculous IPP cost is 60% of our the Operating expenses. Nothing to do with the share price but they retiring the IPP contract in stages, in the end the rakyat still has to pay for it. Should not make a lost unless there is breaking news of lack of coal and gas resulting in usage of distillates

https://klse.i3investor.com/web/blog/detail/AmInvestResearch/2022-07-21-story-h1626880521-Economic_Highlights_Malaysia_ndash_Trade_continues_to_grow_robustly

I think malaysia is still on track to hit the GDP of 6% and if continue for the next few months, investor will come in. We are doing a lot better then most countries and hopefully KLSE will follow suit :) . Managing inflation will be important moving forward (without too much subsidies and increase of interest rate has to follow to strengthen the Ringgit)

Liquidity in the market will dictate how KLSE/Asia market will perform. Majority of stocks are undervalue no matter how good the forward PE will be. GDP is expected to 5.5-6% makes no difference as long as USD continue to strengthen and the FEDs continue to raise interest rates. The only good thing i see is the strengthening oil price will make it easier for Bank Negara to decide on its monetary policy to stabilize inflation and GDP growth. They have to raise the rate soon and not bothered by populist movement by the politicians. Everyone wins is once the liquidity improves. Else we can continue to fight with each other why our stocks are not moving. US is still king at controlling the money market as long as we follow the Bretton woods agreement. USD will continue to strengthen and next month they will increase another 0.75-1.0. So need to be careful.

Again ICPT receivables will impact the future cash flow as it has already been recorded as current assets and when it first receive it. The market is duly worried about this cash flow turn over based on last quarter report.

Will know in a months time will TNB make a loss? Lets look at the Ops ex by qtr. Q1 2021 to Q1 2022. 9.1 B//10B/10.8B/14.5B/13.3B. Revenue 11.5B/12.4B/13B/15.7B/15.7B. Revenue is very predictable at a range of 16-17 B this quarter. The key now is the opex that will drive the profit/loss. Rough number will be around 15 Bil OpEX provided no other surprises from tax man and impairment (depreciation etc...). Any financial guru that has time to detail this will be appreciated. The market is spook by the regulatory of the ICPT that gomen always has a hand in it and not its business model.

Ya betul. At least today we can see 2 good candles side by side. A Long and a hammer . Let's see a glimmer of hope. Have a nice weekend everyone

Hope Khazanah, PNB and EPF start investing more in local equities as the retailers are restless and making lots of noises. Not easy to make money in bear market , everyone expecting the downturn to end soon . Bursa is so lonely without the big money and can't rely on the foreign investors to come in. Still remembers the good old times when you just pick any GLC stocks . High oil price couple with election year with stable macro economy. 2 out of 3 still not that bad

Just to top up to TTV. Accounts Receivable is considered an asset and having slow turnover of receivables can negatively affect TNB bottom line. It will not impact the short term profitability. Meaning as long as there is no surprise taxation or impairment we should not see Q2 profitability impact . Receivables are already capture as assets in in the balance sheet. Concern is the cash flow to pay the supplier which i do not think will happen. As long as the revenue continue to grow and profit margin maintains around 5%, it will be stable business, unless the gomen choose to screw it up by not paying the receivables timely.

Important to look at how the ICPT receivables will be manage. Recent news mention that they are "confident" govt will commit but when and how much/staggered/quarterly is still uncertain ? Total receivables 14 bil in Q1 2022. 9 billion from ICPT (govt). Each qtr expect >3.5 bil receivables from ICPT. Not forgetting the 5 billion from other industries/commercial (could be bad dept). I would suspect government will opt for at least a staggered ICPT recovery payment of >3.5 billion qtrly and again high oil price has improve the government coffers, the reason for the confident.

Post removed.Why?

KLSE has always done well during high oil prices , lagging around 6 months. I don't think oil price will go below 100 or even 110 looking at the current news and the trajectory towards 140 looks likely end of year. MYR will start strengthening and inflow of money towards country with net exporter of oil. Important to look into fundamentally strong company and big funds favorite and sabar for 6 months :)

TTV ; I saw that on last thur and fri net short position. Now sure is it a mistake as you don't see the volume on friday. TNB fundamentals has not change mcuh for the last few quarters only volatile reaction from the big funds. Hopefully it is the final shake out by the big funds before they accumulate. Getting old oredi :)

Don't throw in the towel yet. If TNB fail the country fail and to equate TNB to a glove company is simply foolish to any reasoning. Bare in mind need to know how the big funds are moving . Oil price of 140 will inject extra 20 Billion to the fiscal revenue based on the 2022 budget of 66 usd per barrel assumption . This is based on ASMO report : <USD1 increase in Brent oil prices is associated with an increase in real GDP of approximately MYR 646 million, an increase in CPI levels of 0.03, and an increase in annual fiscal revenues of around MYR 339 million.> . Revenue will increase to 17-18 billion. Profit margin will be based on how much subsidies can be absorb based on the new fiscal revenue. More concern of the promise to subsidize and the oil price goes back below 100. Good long term retirement investment or throw in the towel? Your call.

Exciting days ahead for Malaysian economy. Fiscal budget was based on USD66 per barrel. Expect oil price to average 110 this year. https://www.nst.com.my/business/2022/06/805718/midf-expects-govt-record-rm737bil-petroleum-related-revenue . The last KSLE bull run was after the asian financial crisis early 1999 untill 2008 of global financial crisis.( with brief Dot com impact in 2000) . 2008 -2014 was the another bull run. (6 months short impact on 2008 crisis).End 2014 until now was bear market . High of ~1800 -1350. (with a short uptick after the 2018 election :). KLSE has always flush with cash during when oil price is rising. Do your own correlation.

Hope everyone wins

If oil price will continue it's trajectory to be range of 100-140 in the coming 6 more months, this will inject more USD petro dollar to malaysian economy. If has been since 10 years (2012
3 - end 2014) KLSE bull run, coincide with the rising oil price. Target strong fundamentals with good dividend yield share and we shall be ok. I don't think the sky is going to fall soon, on the contrary opportunity to enter carefully. Happy trading

KLCI index is really in bad shape. High oil price will always do good for our GDP , we might see a rally only if it sustain above 100 for next 6 months more . Really hoping the local institution is doing the shake out before their accumulation. they are not here to loose money too. Shorts are increasing back from 0.12 to 0.25 % of total net short position within ~1.5months. TNB , our national security will not do badly in the coming quarterly unless another round of special taxes. Good luck with the uncertainty.

KLCI index has been in and out of the bear market since end 2018 , High of 1870 in april. 2014 was the last good times of oil price above 80 average for 4 years till 2018. Since then KLCI has not been making much return. Can't show the chart in this forum. If brent oil price can average out 100+ per barrel. KLCI will have a good show. . Also, every USD1 increase in Brent oil prices is associated with an increase in real GDP of approximately MYR 646 million, an increase in CPI levels of 0.03, and an increase in annual fiscal revenues of around MYR 339 million. (AMRO working paper 2020). Tough call but it is already nearly 10 years of low oil price (since 2014) and is picking up again. Good luck and check your own facts carefully.

TTV, Let's see how the analyst take it. It is going to be another 3 months wait and coal price monitoring and if changes to the tariff is being call out as I don't think they can get it approved easily with election fever nearing soon.

Nothing much to show. The taxman too agreesive on tnb. Expected nett profit to be above 1 bil. Surprisingly revenue is flat even with the new tariff in Feb.

Qtrly report coming next week if no delay. Important milestone . Should be able achieve >17B Revenue and >1 Billion PBT. This will make way for better qtrly for the entire year . Need to see how the coal price impact and if any propose increase of the ICPT surcharge due to this.

Shorts will continue as buyers are week . Important is how Q1 results will be. I am still bullish to top up as TNB results tend to be easier to predict as it is regulated.
The under recovery of 3.21B in previous qtr should be reduce with Feb 022 ICBT approval. with 1.2% of demand growth roughly equals to 2,5 B in revenue. With GDP growth at ~6% ,2022 expect Qtrly revenue to be in region of 17-18B Rev. Something unseen before. PBT will be good if operating expenses can be control. But some insider dares to say TNB will post a lost :) next qtr. Easily 1.2 -1.4 Billion PBT. Do comment with data please

I don't claim to have insider information like some do :) but we have to learn to challenge the numbers and see it as it is. Only the big boys can influence Tenaga share turn around .

Thanks TTV :) Report suppose to be one day late . The message is the same trade with open eyes

~150K shorted yesterday. Support level at 9.00. If buyer continue to be weak, they will short it down further, Yesterday increase back to 0.17 percent from 0.16 of total Net short. If they are able to break 9.00 should see a strong buy back. I still think there is limited risk as more funds expected to come in to country with strong balance of payment due to the current commodity prices in OnG and Palm Oil.

Short sellers fund both side of the deal , If they see buyers are weak, they will short it down further to encourage more sellers and allow a lower price to cover. With the trend covering/buy back the downside will be limited. Today you can see the buyers were weak until 9.00/9.01 . End of today will cover at 9.02 most likely... and their job continue tomorrow :)

TTV, I too have been monitoring the shorts as the most significant predictor on the movement. MACD/RSI are all too lagging with the institutional shorts and buyers making the all the shorts and we the retail are the just the pawn. Currently it will only stabilize when the it goes below 10% of total short selling. They will ensure the prize is low enough for them to buy it back, usually at the after market the big volume are changing hands. this might take a a month or so. Before the 1st Qtr announcement, which earnings are going to be relatively positive. Sorry i can't post it in excel but transaction is from Feb22 till yesterday. If you look at the historical data the earnings and profitability will always be reflected in the stock price. Tenaga is a regulated business and easier to predict and a good choice during high inflation and uncertainty. Just sharing the data , you make the choice

Already happening on the last hour :) closing all their expired futures/options. Huge spike

Short sellers should be covering their shorts soon. From high of 0.11% to 0.28% in 14 trading days. Last two days you can see it goes the other way. Hopefully is done.

Short sellers are having a field day for all the stocks. Why let a good war go to waste. The risk for short sellers is when big boys decided to buy to squeeze it up. 0.11 to 0.22 within 10 days of trading. Not much we can do but watch. I am not recommending to sell .

Very true. Fundamentals shows very strong earnings in the coming qtrs. Technical analysis is always a bit too lagging , rather looking at the RSS and volume allows us to know when to enter safely and ride the big volume . Anyway i am a bit anxious as I am all in :)

TTT, this is what i suspect too. EPF will loan it to the short sellers and if you aware of the strategy it makes it easier to earn money and also the interest from the shorts.
