Nov. 21, 2020
A Gallup poll in November found that 58 percent of Americans say they would get a Covid-19 vaccine, up from a low of 50 percent in September. But there are still worries that the speed of developing and testing the vaccines may have compromised their scientific integrity.
........
at 95% effectiveness and 58% willing to take vaccine now in U.S, you are almost there with the herd immunity requirement of 60%
as more and more convincing data surfaces with people living normal after vaccination...and imposition of travel restriction to those not vaccinated...the willingness to take vaccine can only become stronger day by day...

Here's the Coronavirus Vaccine Maker That's Most Likely to Blow Past Pfizer and Moderna

J&J's coronavirus vaccine candidate, though, requires only one dose.
This could give J&J a significant competitive advantage over its rivals. A single-dose vaccine would have a lower cost than a two-dose regimen. People would also be more likely to want to receive a vaccine that they only have to take once.
Johnson & Johnson also won't have the ultra-cold storage requirements that Pfizer's vaccine has. Its COVID-19 vaccine can remain stable for up to two years at around minus four degrees Fahrenheit and for up to three months at temperatures between around 35 degrees and 46 degrees Fahrenheit.
In addition, J&J beats Moderna when it comes to production capacity. Moderna has stated that it will be able to make around 500 million doses of mRNA-1273 next year, although the biotech says that it could "possibly" up that to 1 billion doses. J&J is on track to produce more than 1 billion doses per year.

many people still dont get the meaning of 95% effective vaccine.
with current desperation from all businesses worldwide, vaccination worldwide will be done within months
every single business - you name it...will want to help to get this done as quick as possible, people cant wait for travel and holidays for life to return to normal
its done deal - max 12 months and the economy will be booming with added boost from pent up demand
its not easy to find an investment that gives 10% return in a year
you need to see the future in advance and take a strong bet

prospects
..........
The results of our operations for the financial year ending 31 December 2020 are expected to be primarily influenced by the following factors
(a) The demand and supply balance of petrochemical products in the market;
(b) Our ability to maximise production outputs and operational efficiency;
(c) Petrochemical product demand moves in tandem with overall global GDP growth, driven by consumption and population growth; and
(d) Feedstock prices which is correlated to crude oil prices.
The International Monetary Fund in its latest report has noted a less severe economic contraction for 2020 than it initially expected. This is following the better-than-expected 2nd quarter economic recession in major developed and emerging economies, led by strong recovery in the Chinese economy. The softened impact was also supported by the massive fiscal countermeasures and accommodative monetary policies implemented by all major economies in the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Nevertheless, the recovery outlook remains fragile with high degree of uncertainties for now, as it will be dependent on the pandemic recovery trajectory.

Group revenue decreased by 23% (or RM 1,485.4 million) from RM 6,464.1 million to RM 4,978.7 million due to decrease in average product selling price and sales volume. The COVID-19 pandemic have affected regional economy resulting in poor business sentiment and weakened demand. Regional businesses display sign of recovery with recent
improvement seen in average product selling price and sales volume. Apart from the virus outbreak, reduction in production quantity resulting from the major statutory plant turnaround conducted in 1H 2020 has also caused the decrease in sales volume.

RHB is the only analyst used DCF to compute tgt price which is 9.50. The question of what PE.and which year earning to use.to compute tgt price should not arise since all future earnings.from 2021 till infinity are considered . We can only question their profit assumptions , discount and growth rates after.2023. In my opinion, the assumption of 2023 earning.at.4.478 billion is on the high side and the terminal growth.rate of 1 % is too low . The discount.rate of 7 %
is fair .

Petronas’ 2Q20 core loss stood at-RM0.7bn (1Q20: +RM8.5bn, 2Q19: +RM14.5bn), brought 1H20 core profit to RM7.8bn (-73% YoY). The weak results were primarily due to lower crude oil prices. 1H20 capex spending of RM14.8bn only constituted 37% of its planned capex target of c.RM40bn in FY20. While Brent crude and LNG prices have recovered from its lows, demand for crude and LNG is still severely impacted by Covid-19. We believe that Brent Crude prices would need to average above USD55 for at least 1 year in order for Petronas to revert to its pre -Covid-19 capex spending level of about c.RM50bn.
Reiterate NEUTRAL view on the sector, our top pick for the sector is Armada (BUY; TP: RM0.60) as its FPSO earnings are expected to remain strong, while its current valuations are still undemanding. We are keeping our average oil prices forecast unchanged at USD44/bbl in 2020.

This stock no longer has any link with oil price......except those clueless speculators who got in linking to it...
These are sustainable earnings unlike any other stock you can find in Bursa under Covid pandemic......
