ALAM MARITIM

GUOCOLAND (Malaysia) Bhd director Paul Poh Yang Hong reshuffled his interest in Alam Maritim Resources Bhd when he acquired 34 million shares or a 3.68% stake in the company from Caprice Capital International Ltd, his investment vehicle. Post-acquisition, Poh also owns an indirect stake of 4.34%.

According to exchange filings on April 23, Poh first emerged as a substantial shareholder in the marine offshore service provider on June 5 when he acquired 63 million shares at RM1.35 per share. Interestingly, the counter’s share price has come down by almost half from the day he bought into Alam Maritim compared to the closing price of 68 sen at April 23.

TOP GLOVE

Australia-based Northcape Capital Pty Ltd emerged as a new substantial shareholder in Top Glove Corp Bhd on April 22. Following recent purchases, Northcape Capital now holds a 5.02% or 30.9 million shares. Northcape Capital is an investment manager that specialises in Australian and international listed equities.

Northcape Capital ceased to be a substantial shareholder on Feb 26 when it disposed of one million shares, leaving it with a 4.96% stake.

Top Glove is the world’s largest rubber glove maker. Its new factory in Klang came on-stream in February, boosting production capacity to 44.6 billion gloves per annum. It is also expected to add another 1.4 billion capacity of latex gloves and 6.2 billion capacity of nitrile gloves to bring its total capacity to 52.2 billion pieces by September next year. The counter’s share price surged by 18% to a one-year high of RM5.45 on April 23 from RM4.60 on Jan 2.

GPA to change its fortunes with tie-up

GPA Holdings Bhd, suffering losses for the last three years, is looking to change its fortunes with a tie-up with the world’s largest producer of automotive batteries, Johnson Control Inc of the US.

Controlled by low-profile businessman Tan Sri Tan Hua Choon, GPA has incurred losses since FY12. The battery-maker in December entered into a partnership with US-listed Johnson Control to produce the latter’s Delkor batteries. Delkor Co Ltd, a unit of Johnson Control’s, is one of the leading comprehensive battery producers in the world.

The tie-up is part of GPA’s plans to remove its low-margin production line, expand its branding exercise and venture into batteries-trading.

With the partnership, GPA executive director David Lai Sze Pheng says, the Klang-based company expects a turnaround by the first half of FY16. As of April 22, Tan’s shareholding is 23.26%.

GPA produces two types of battery – valve-regulated, lead-acid (VRLA) batteries, usually used in devices that require large amounts of electricity storage; and seal lead acid (SLA) batteries, usually used in the automotive sector.

GPA’s export markets include China, Vietnam, India, Africa and the Middle East.

Press Metal under selling pressure as technical outlook weakens
Friday, 24 April 2015

KUALA LUMPUR: The shares and call warrants of Press Metal skidded on Friday on selling pressure as the technical outlook weakened.

At 10.13am, PMetal was down 32 sen to RM2.92, Petal-WC fell RM1.83, PMetal-CJ 9.5 sen to 10.5 sen, PMetal-CG 8.5 sen to 14 sen and PMetal-CA 8 sen to 28.5c

The FBM KLCI was up 13.02 points or 0.71% to 1,859.10. Turnover was 595.95 million shares valued at RM425.27mil. There were 309 gainers, 222 losers and 272 counters unchanged.

Kenanga Investment Bank Research, in its technical analysis, said PMetal dropped 11.0 sen or 3.28% to close at RM3.24 on Thursday, settling below the 20-day simple moving average (SMA) line.

“Recall that we have revised our TP to RM3.73 based on ‘Symmetrical Triangle’ measurement objective. However, the share price experienced heavy profit taking and broke below its key support-turned-resistance level of RM3.31 (as well as its 50-day SMA level).

“Technically, the chart has turned less compelling with all the indicators moving south. This prompt us to take a more conservative route by locking in our gains (37% return within four-months period), despite the share price did not meet out stop-loss level of RM3.20. We might revisit the stock when the share price technical picture becomes more attractive again,” it said.
