Yes. Economic turbulence and uncertainties. Oil, physical gold and usd dollar is perceived as safe haven. People will minimize their spending on big ticket items. Look at the US data. Tesla car sales drop, apple phone slows. New housing sales took a dip

Big cap able to withstand pressure & plus any unexpected economic turbulance. Deep pockets vs small cap companies that relies either on borrowing's or project sales that are worse affected during any down turn. Without any sizeable lands bank reserve the small cap properties are suspectible to high development built up cost. This is the reason why analysts only favour big cap stocks like Sime prop or IOIP that have sizeable holdings and plantations land bank. Just my 2 cents not a sell call. Please do your research before you buy or sell

Yes. One thing is real. Cost of goods spike up hard to come down. The so called government re directed targeted on petrol subsidises would push up many other cost of living items. prices would increases exponentially if my transport costs increases, my freight charges increases, electricity & water rates is higher. Rental rate would mark up. Blame it on the government

Without disrespect to any parties. LCtitan was previously taken private with a low valuations. Against this back drop there is always a strong possibility of the Board to follow or use this route {i. e. to delist the company} kitchen sinking exercise is permissible and fastest means to bring down the valuations} Or the worst case scenario as the expense of minorities to sell off the Indonesia plant at a loss while LCtitan Malaysia carries the losses. Hopefully the LCtitan board would not resort to this underhand tactics. The losses can be utilised as tax credits or against future earnongs

Investors especially fund's manager are concerned over Ekovest direction. In Sept/Oct 2023 Tan Sri Lim has a announced a slew of exercise, group restruction and acqusitoom from its chairman {Tan Sri Lim} related private held companies. The whole purpose is to reposition Ekovest as a giant multi conglomerate with the construction arm transfer to KNUSFORD. Until today there is no news update on the planned acqusition. Minorities are still in the dark over the actual implementation dates

Listing of 220 million MkH oil palm shares on Bursa at IPO price of 66 sen is a good opportunity for investors. Their business operation's similar and akin to TSH plantations. Another substantial oil palm listing is the Johor plantation group. 875 million shares will be offer to both institutions and the public. Keep our finger cross if we can get part of the IPO shares

Without prejudice. Hard to justify any comparison between Poh Kong and YTLP. Poh Kong Holdings is more a retail stock with a niche in the sales and trading of gold ornaments. Its business mainly focus in the local domestic sector vs YTLP which is involved in the power distribution, energy & water, data centre, oil production, digital banking and 5G telco operations. 90% of its earnings are derived from its overseas operations.

The reversal of impairment and unrealised gains in the quarterly figs has resulted a nett loss of 14 million { is an accounting and tax entry} which has no effect on their operating cash flows. The impending rates renewal which is forthcoming will see across the board upticks in ICON charter rates. Operating cash flows are the life blood of any company. In the O & G sector ICON is one of the few counters in the sector that have paid out dividends. A good opportunity to buy and hold based on their results. Not best of the best but have great growth potential. With Yinsoon as the captain aiding ICON can expect more positive momentum. Not a buy call but just my own view and personal take on their recent news announcement. Please do your own research before you buy or invest

We need to focus on underlying issues affecting our local market. There is possibility of more funds coming back to take advantage of the narrowing rate gap between our ringgit and the USD. Hopefully with the Fed turning more dovish our market can see more upside. YTLP and YTL both are seen as beneficiaries

Out of the 2 or 3 laggards { unloved or stagnant counters mentioned } Ekovest, ECONBHD and AGMO. From a business point myself will go for the small cap ECONBHD & AGMO. ECONBHD Nosh shares {1.4 billion} AGMO Nosh shares 325 million shares vs Ekovest 2.96 Billion shares { before the group restructing exercise and the binding heads of agreement announced} which will see Ekovest capital base increased multiple times by 2.5 times after the group restructuring.

I have no issue with the Tan Sri Lim restructuring exercise if its based on win win situation for all parties. Looking at the present Ekovest proposal the main beneficiaries is Tan Sri Lim not the other Ekovest minorities shareholders. What's critical the NOSH of Ekovest will balloon up from the current 2.96 billion shares to almost 8.5 billion shares based on what's was announced

From a business point of view. Boycotting certain business group due to certain political links may or may not translate into any positive outcome or insignificant developments. Call a spade a spade. Nvidia is a US based California company listed in the US securities exchange. A leading A1 smart chips developer known for its chapGpt. Our government have no issue with the business community. Even our PM met up with their founder Jensen Huang when he visited PutraJaya. Malaysia maintains a open dialogue with the United States on issue relating to the Middle East conflicts. As part of the Asean regional groupings we have always voiced out in the United Nations and other International conference. Even the Arab league of nations have not boycotted or sever thier ties with the US

LOTTE CHEMICAL { Korea } has embarked to sell it's loss making subsidiary Malaysian unit LCTITAN. In 2023 LOTTE Chemical Korea racked up 201 billion won in losses in its petrol chemical division.
This was reported by market insight in the Korea Economic Daily capital market news. Looks like the petrol chemical industry is facing terrible headwinds. Oversupply and dwindling demand with Chinese companies aggressively increasing their own domestic production.

Just my own calculated guess. The inclusion of YTL and YTLP in the MSCI Malaysia index is indeed positive for YTL group. Looking at the utilities sector YTL is indeed a attractive option and undemanding vs it's peer. YTL is trading at 14 times {PE} vs TNB at 23 times {PE} or PChem at 33 times {PE}. Using others as a comparison e.g. Sunway group at 21 times {PE} or IJM at 24 times {PE}, whether in the utilities, energy, construction or multi congolemerate. YTL in terms of growth opportunities or earnings upkeep definetly is a buy. Tomorrow being a Friday will be very interesting trading day. Not a buy call just sharing my 2 sen

Tan teng boo {capial dynamics} is extremely confident that our local market is ripe for a prolong bull ring. Nevertheless let us be rationale or sanquine that the market days of gung go days of the 93-94 where the market touch a high of 1314 points from a low of 645 points. Nowdays majority of trade is monopolised by local and foreign funds, banks, pension funds whereby retail retailers only make up a limited percentage. For the fund's manager and dealers they are extremely through in their investment research trading strategies { not the "kedai makan"} coffee talk. Most IB's set YTLP target price at around 5.00 { forward earnings} and YTL at 3.00. Of course the TP can be revised upwards if the next quarter result comes in higher than the street expectations.

Yes. Our local market have underperformed for the past decades vs our neighbouring innovative and FDI inflows. Hopefully the current political situation in the country has stablised {the next 4 years} FDI funds will cherry pick the underperformed market like our market. Bear in mind our ringgit has depreciated vs the USD at 4.8 which is at their lowest point for the past 26 years. If FDI funds manager betting on risk vs reward. Currency, underperformed, laggard market I will place my insurance bet on Malaysia. Not forgetting the YTL story which was largely ignored by pundits until last year. The PE ratio placed on YTL is unjustified low at 10 times vs other energy & utilities companies like TNB {20 times} or a multi bagger Sunway at 20 times. Dollar for dollar it make more sense to invest in the YTL group { which derives 90% of its earning from its foreign operations} not a buy call just sharing my personal view on the market.

I am not an expert on numbers but certain revenue numbers figures and profit indicators of YTL 2Qtr announced yesterday is verify and prepared by a team of professionals engaged & employed by the company before submission to Bursa. Not a hearsay or just "pasar malam" gossiping but based on actual reported accounting figures against previous qtr and YoY comparison. Not a speculative hype to rile up prices. YTL net profit jumped 589 million for the 2nd qtr ended 32Dec up from 96 million a year earlier. For the 1st 6 months of FY 24. YTL recorded a net profit of 1.11 billion against 133 million recorded a year ago. Whether YTL earning has reached its peak is subjective. Going by Management guidance they expect the group to continue maintain & operate satisfactory. Look how Nvidia profit has continued to outperform. This figures are reported in the business times and also in Bursa website
