Dnex 2Q results - why is PBT for Anasuria only RM 12M (40% shr) when Hibiscus gets RM28M (50% shr)? Volume is shared and oil price is up $10/bbl.

The Big Picture : Inari --> Broadcom --> Apple 5G

Apple is in a nice position to take advantage of this secular growth. The company controlled 17.4% of the global smartphone market last year per IDC's estimates, up from 15.9% in 2020. Apple's market share growth last year was a result of the company's dominant position in the 5G smartphone market. That's good news for the company, as 5G smartphone adoption is expected to increase in the coming years.

Apple smartphone is the dominant player in China and India. Apple's growth in the smartphone market in China grew 79% QoQ in 4Q2021.

Wafer foundries need top-notched equipment that are not easy to source or maintain. Examples of wafer fabrication equipment are oxidation systems, epitaxial reactors, diffusion systems, ion implantation equipment, physical vapor deposition systems, chemical vapor deposition systems, photolithography equipment, and etching equipmen

Malaysia's strength in the semiconductor industry is in its HUMAN CAPITAL. As such any production lines that involved assembly n testing can survive (as it has been for the past 50 years).

Each US$10 increase in Brent oil is only translated to an extra RM 11M per qtr. for Ping.
Brent oil is not sustainable at above US$90/bbl, but only on fear of war between US/EU and Russia. This is unlikely to happen as no ukrainians are moving, relocating or emigrating to Romania or Poland.

Wafer foundries need top-notched equipment that are not easy to source, maintain, update or replace. You must have deep pockets. Probably, only Taiwan and China are able to thrive in the wafer foundries industry with its high tech engineers and scientists.

So, Inari vs Dnex, make your guess who have more potential earnings.
Besides, while you hold and wait, you are rewarded with dividends every qtr.

Oct 2016 the Edge
Pantech Group Holdings Bhd has proposed a one-for-five bonus issue, a one-for-ten bonus warrant issue and an employee share option scheme (ESOS).

The steel products manufacturer said the bonus issue entails 138.09 million shares of 20 sen each, enlarging its share base to 829.38 million, which will rise further to 988.18 million if the bonus warrants and ESOS are fully exercised.

At 988 M total shrs issued, this 12% dilution will likely affect the shr price

Constrained production troubles at the Hibiscus Petroleum Anasuria FPSO are expected to continue well into 2022.

The Malaysia-headquartered operator said a “critical component” of its flagship UK production asset malfunctioned in April/May during turnaround season this year, which is yet to be repaired.

Hibiscus said engineering and procurement activities are being “fast-tracked” to replace the component, but until then the impact will be lower production rates from the Anasuria FPSO.

The issue is expected to be rectified in the third quarter of the 2022 financial calendar.

“Until the failed component is returned to service, we anticipate that there will be an impact on calendar year 2022 offtake volumes and OPEX per boe”, Hibiscus said in a statement.

Dnex CEO has confirmed.
SilTerra has morphed to become a profitable entity.
1. It was a timely acquisition
2. the increase in average selling prices (ASPs) of semiconductor wafer
3. the increase in shipment volumes of wafers
4. the cost and product mix optimisation of wafer chips
5. the production capacity of SilTerra is now fully utilised
6. this provides greater economies of scale and cost efficiency
7. the code of ethics installed with some top Mgt replaced on misconduct

After the UN COP26 climate talks in Glasgow, the UK government has come under increasing pressure to rule out several highly controversial, proposed fossil fuel extraction projects in the UK, including some 30 offshore oil fields in the North Sea.

I wud hazard a guess that Dato Fisher expertise on sustainable energy and carbon emission wud be valuable on seeking approval for the Avalon oil n gas extraction.

The UK government plans to introduce a ‘climate compatibility checkpoint’ to test future oil and gas licensing rounds against wider climate objectives as part of its North Sea Transition Deal.
I do not think the other Dnex directors are familiar with such sustainablity criteria as Scope 1, 2 or 3 emissions and Total life cycle emissions (MtCO2e).

South African doctor who raised the alarm over Omicron said Sunday dozens of her patients suspected of having the new variant had only shown mild symptoms and recovered fully without hospitalization.

Angelique Coetzee, chair of the South African Medical Association, told AFP she had seen around 30 patients over the past 10 days who tested positive for COVID-19, but had unfamiliar symptoms.

“What brought them to the surgery was this extreme tiredness,” she said, speaking from Pretoria, where she practices.

I'm amazed that SuperMX is going to spend more than RM 2 B. in 2021-2022 on USA expansion plans .... If you're in manufacturing & selling your products worldwide. it would make more bizsense to expand in countries with cheap labour, cheap energy, cheap land, low coporate taxes or invest in high productivity labour saving equipment so that your margins would improve and sales increase.

Do you really think that USA does not have the tech or investor or capability to do a high end glove factory? Do you also really have it figured out that under Joe Biden that USA will be a closed market? Pls think again.....
