What's wrong with the CNY??? It is a norm in Mycron business cycle. Let's read the explanation in last year.

QR 31 Mar 2017 explanation:
The Group however registered a lower pre-tax profit of RM10.8 million compared with the immediate preceding quarter’s pre-tax profit of RM12.6 million mainly due to the lower sales volume (down by around 17%) achieved by its Steel Tube segment attributed to the Chinese New Year holidays saddling the current quarter.
Correspondingly, the Group recorded a lower net-tax profit of RM7.4 million compared to a net-tax profit of
RM9.5 million in the immediate preceding quarter.


QR 31 Mar 2016 explanation:
The Group’s revenue at RM142.5 million for the current 3rd quarter which saddles the Chinese New Year festive
period is around 1% lower than the immediate preceding quarter’s RM144.1 million. The lower revenue is
attributed to a 12% drop in sales volume for the Steel Tube operation (due to the festive holidays and raw coil
supply disruption from the cessation of Megasteel as mentioned in Note A11) coupled with the continued decline
in unit selling price for the tube products (down by 0.8%) and cold-rolled coils (down by 3%). However, the
higher sale volume (up 11.8%) achieved by the Cold Rolled segment lifted the current quarters’ revenue.

My target EPS above 7 cents so it's still below my expectations. lol

Agak. I hope to buy at price 1.83 on Monday. lol

There are some positive news in poultry sector

Soy bean prices had gone up all the way up from US 1010 at the beginning of the year to US 1080 on 31 Mar 17. What happens to the soy price now?...plunged to US 940 or more than 10%.

RM is on the rising trend and gained 3.7% against USD from 1 Apr 17 until now.

Great results. PER dropped to 7.7x at price 1.83. Who want to sell at cheap prices on next Monday? wakaka

Comparison in PER:

Aeoncr - 11x
ElkDesa - 13.6x
MBSB - 26x

It depends highly on EPS to be announced today. When EPS is higher than 6 cents, share price may trade above 2.5 easily in near future. If EPS below 3 cents.... then you know what would happen la. lol

Is it worth to place a bet?
Let's look at the revenue growth for the past few years:

31 Mar 17 - ???
31 Dec 16 - 58 million
30 Sep 16 - 56.2 million
30 Jun 16 - 51.9 million
31 Mar 16 - 44.3 million
31 Dec 15 - 41.5 million
30 Sep 15 - 39 million
30 Jun 15 - 37.5 million

31 Dec 14 - 33.5 million
30 Sep 14 - 32.4 million
30 Jun 14 - 30.4 million
31 Mar 14 - 30 million

People are worrying to hold shares before announcement of QR today. Run or stay? :D

Buy and hold based on fundamental of the company attached with low PER and good future prospect. We just ignore short term TA noises. If TA really 100% accurate then nobody would talk about FA now.

It seems that Manufacturing margin was being squeezed by higher input costs of sugar and coffee ingredient for the 1st Qtr 17.

Lower NPL is expected in Banking and Finance sector. It is very like RceCap would post good profit.

NPL:
Maybank - down
CIMB - down
MBSB - down
BIMB - down

PBBank - stable
Aeoncr - stable

RHBcap - up

There are main sifus in i3.....more than me and you mentioned....I feel small here cause I could be good at playing with figures. Not to forget stockraider, my sifu. He is playing higher level of ball game. wakaka.

abangadik. You skill is better...you can see deep inside the business of a company. Don't pretend la....There are many teachers here sharing good information like KC, OTB, Icon, Probability, Moneysifu, Gaininvestor, bones....

Tan. Rcecap is traded at PER 9.7x ( 1.9 / 0.196) at price 1.90 .

Abangadik. You look too high on me....I'm just a farmer in kampung. Wakaka

31 Dec 16 - 6.52 cents
30 Sep 16 - 5.62 cents

kukuman. It's confirmed by you...may be you got a spy there. wakaka.

Signal is given by the CEO... He acquired 400k of shares through exercising ESOS at price 1.3 per share in April 2017. He has not disposed the shares until now. If he doesn't has any confidence in the company financial results, he would not have exercised the ESOS. Why not wait until lackluster QR announcement and exercise at cheaper price later so as to pay lesser personal income tax. Bear in mind, the company would include the difference between the market price at date of exercise and Exercise Price in his EA at the end of the year.

Good to see you here, Moneysifu. Miti has just started investigating anti dumping of cold rolled stainless steel (CRSS) imported from overseas. It could another catalyst to this industry if anti dumping duty is applied to CRSS.

By looking at the rising trend of Gross Profit Margin, LeonFb is very likely to report higher profit in upcoming QR announcement.

31 Mar 16 - 0.2 cents

Eggs are hatching. Eggs price are trending upward plus RM strengthening.

A loan stock offers a yield more 7% per annum. Quite yummy given the prospect of the steel industry. This loan stock is much better than those junk bonds selling in US. wakaka

The management was a bit incompetent in engineering works. They are not good at this area but they engaged an outsider to conduct a special audit....so not really that bad la.

We will only run when a counter is turning from gold into a shit or the price of gold astronomical high. Lol

老莊還在, 有誰敢在太歲頭上動土 ．

At the current price 77 cents, LeonFb would probably trade at PER below 7x after announcement of QR by this month.

The price is so strong today. @@

The shares are still undemanding....patient waiting for the QR announcement.

The market is so high on steel theme....sleeping also dream of rebar...lol

This is another high potential turnaround steel company neglected by the market. lol

The main purpose of having hybrid production is to take advantage of the situation. With low prices of coal, Anjoo can't stand a good chance by using blast furnace for producing products at lower costs. Is it not good to Ssteel.......unless the information supplied by Solaris is fictitious. lol

Good news to Ssteel....

Posted by solaris80 > May 21, 2017 12:31 PM | Report Abuse - from Ann Joo

News has been confirmed this was unscheduled break down. They are facing some technical glitches of blast furnace. Their blast furnace supplier from China "Tangshan" was reluctant to provide any technical support to them as they is a court case on going. As such, manufacturer is looking for technical expertise from overseas. Thing has become more complex now as they have wasted almost three weeks and still unable to resolve the issue. As such, they will take this chance to proceed with major overhaul. Hope management can resolve the issue asap.

The government won't intervene much cause the ponzy scheme is merely happening in Chinese communities. That's why so many scams are thriving in Msia.

Abangadik. It's so nice if they shut down their Engineering division. wakaka

I don't know if there is any further provision in onerous contract...and this is the risk I got to take.... A matter of Risk and Reward.

Melewar is traded at 34 cents was mainly due to its sucking Engineering division. It won't be cheap when Engineering division suffer minor losses. We don't even know whether there is a reversal of provision for onerous contract in future. I feel comfortable a bit as special audit has been conducted.

Melewar got nothing....errrrr but 71.4% stakes in Mycron. Mycron is controlled by Melewar. lol

abangadik. When I see you here...means share price up up. wakaka

Agak was always playing yoyo here and grabbed at cheap prices quietly. lol. Anyway, Congrats guys for being patient with LeonFB. Announcement of QR is around the corner.

Agak bro. I just said "Buy Buy Buy" to paperplane. It sounds similar to " Bye Bye Bye". I did not know he had taken my message seriously. lol

MAsteel Go go go

Ssteel follows An Joo up today. Tomorrow it may follow MAsteel up, Mycron up, Csc.... non stop follow up up.

Aeoncr is traded at PER 11x and Elkdesa exchanged at 12x. RceCap is very likely to trade below 8x end of this month. lol

paperplane. Buy Buy Buy....Why miss this opportunity. Better QR is on the way plus new factory contribution kicking in soon...

abangadik. You are right. Government servants need more cash to shop car, clothing and groceries before raya. RceCap Go go go

Better get the Management to appoint auditor to conduct a special audit or forensic audit for the huge losses suffered in year 2016. It could be due to irregulari....

Aeoncr and Elkdesa have reported better profits. RceCap is on the way to deliver better results.....Many would flock into this counter soon.

This upcoming quarter high potential of better QR than last year. Next QR, the company will show huge gain from disposal of land. haha
