If Titan does 300mil-400mil in the next 2 quarters. IPO price of 6.50 is achievable. This is the best case scenario.

To make money, it's more important to understand market psychology, the prevailing bias, fundamentals aside.

No one gets poor by taking profit.

You guys enjoy the run while it lasts

Well, on hindsight, I should have buy more. That's easy to say after the fact.

I guess if I pen my thoughts down in a public forum, like Choivo did, may lead to higher conviction. Second level of skin in the game!

Anyway, i'm holding tightly to my 1.68 batch.

Despite profit taking, Harta has remained steady.

Next week onwards will be interesting as we await a slew of earnings announcement from Supermax, Careplus and Harta.

If earnings exceed expectations, I foresee massive re-rating ahead, possibly testing the previous high.

There is no other sector apart from gloves that can provides such earnings visibility in the next 2 years at least.

The prevailing bias is still in favor of gloves. We have seen a resurgence of cases worldwide and we are just about to enter the cold season. This rising second-third wave would re-accelerate the ASPs growth further.

Watch this space.

SKPRES is a proxy to investing in Dyson.

The company is well positioned to record explosive earnings growth this year, mainly driven by higher demand for Dyson products.

Can the demand be sustained?

2 emerging trends are in favor:

First, thanks to Covid and the resulting shift to WFH trend, has resulted in increased demand for both household and hygiene products

Also bear in mind, there is a natural replacement cycle for household appliances.

there is a healthy pipeline of new products, more innovative products to automate more household chores

Second, Covid + trade war has prompted many MNCs to diversify their supply chain and reduce reliance on China

I see this as a permanent structural change in the supply chain where more manufacturers are relocating into ASEAN

PCBA is also contributing positively, gestation period is over, which would contribute to improvement in margin in coming quarters.

I am optimistic.

I believe the market is right to be cautious. Since its listing, for whatever reasons, LCT has disappointed time and again.

On valuation, i do note its parent in Korea is also valued on P/BV basis.

Anyway, I do think LCT will benefit in 3Q20 due to the strength in the PE/PP-Naphtha spreads. Likely, the petrochemical prices may remain strong until year end, helped by the hurricane disruptions. But i'm wary of the incoming new supply, especially the anticipated big increases in China PE productions & Pengerang coming on stream.

Good thing is the demand has seen its trough. One big plus factor is the Chinese economy is recovering strongly.

Buying below net cash is a no brainer though.

First, you need to separate out which are noise and which are signals.

Whatever newsflows, be it about vaccine, windfall tax, shifting of funds to recovery play, all these are noises.

Focus on the signals, i.e. the earnings. All that matters are earnings.

Glove is one sector you can be sure to see earnings growth q-o-q. In comparison to tech, which valuation has gone off the roof in my view, gloves valuations remain reasonable, backed up by numbers, the forward earnings.

RHB raised TP to 3.77

Post earnings adjustment, our TP is lifted to MYR3.77 from MYR3.46, pegged to unchanged 14x FY21F P/E. We are upbeat on this stock, as it offers strong earnings growth. This, in turn, is premised on the potential doubling of its orderbook by end-FY21, superior ROEs, and its undemanding market valuation of 10.6x

Orderbook anticipated to hit RM2bil by end 2021

Careplus announced another land acquisition

https://disclosure.bursamalaysia.com/FileAccess/apbursaweb/download?id=105767&name=EA_GA_ATTACHMENTS

The Proposed Acquisition is undertaken in line with the Group’s future and immediate expansion plans to increase its existing manufacturing capacity via Careglove, due to current strong demand, by commissioning new production lines. The Building would be demolished and reconstructed, together with a new building to be constructed on the Empty Land, will be able to house up to 15 new production lines. In addition, the Group would also benefit from the strategic location of the Property, which is neighbouring its existing production plants, which will facilitate and streamline management control, resulting in operational synergies and efficiency.

Another record today.

15.6bil in volume and 10.1bil in value

Average trading value for 1st half is around 3.19bil translating to EPS of 18.7sen
If can maintain throughout the year, annualised EPS of 37.4sen (PE 30x = RM11.22)

If average trading value to increase by 20% to around 3.96bil, EPS = 43sen (PE 30x = RM13)
If average trading value to increase by 40% to around 4.62bil, EPS = 50sen (PE 30x = RM15)

July has been a very good start to Q3, highest trading volume recorded on 20 July of 12.5bil. But August has started even better, we have seen 13-15bil.

Analyst have been quick to underestimate retail participation. But robust trading volume should be supported by short selling ban until year end and not forgetting, potential catalyst includes election flows and further rate cuts by the central bank.

Over the longer term, i do believe the Fed's unlimited QE to spill over to emerging markets including Malaysia, just like post GFC.

When shares are being pushed to sky high valuations.

Market does occasionally provides reality check.

No doubt, PE multiple is a function of market sentiment. It may continue to be high as long as the story remains believable but no one can predicts the tipping point in reversal of psychology.

At the end of day, share price is by and large driven by earnings. It's the earnings executed by the management that matters.

The right question to ask then, it's the implied valuation given by the market reasonable vis-a-vis the earnings growth? Take the annualised earnings of 26sen as the base, and given that management has guided a gradual increase in ASPs in the coming months, would you think Harta can double its earnings in the coming quarters?
