Nvm.
I'll just wait for the next AGM to prompt the question of contingency planning and business continuity planning in the event it's operation in Taiwan ceased.
It'll be good to know if they are to switch to serve other foundaries in Msia, S'pore, South Korea ,etc from their factory in Kulim, Kedah

@neohts
Good Q3 earnings.
The only concern is key risk of China threats of taking over Taiwan soon.
Any thoughts to share?

Supermax warns of 'bumpy' quarters on glove oversupply, low demand

Hopefully next year have some news on removing the china covid lockdown policy to
Need a new president for China and US with new and open mindset for covid restrictions and open economic competition respectively.
It's only in this way that semicon biz can grow without obstacles.

Betamek's 94% biz comes from Perodua.
MBMR Resources which owns portfolio of cars eg Perodua, Volvo, Hino,etc generates revenue of rm1.8bil to rm2.3bil with market cap rm1.1bil to rm1.3bil since in the last 10 years.

Any thoughts for betamek to grow larger than it's client in terms of revenue or market cap in the future???

In my opinion, it's just a car accessories manufacturer.
Low tech assembly that gets hype up to be EMS.
Nothing great abt the products.

Seems major shareholder paring down their stakes by 1.5% to someone.

Looking for more clues in the China Party Congress this week.

A technical rebound only.
Currently, utilisation is less than 50% as per management guidance and existing inventory are being sold lower than USD20 per 1k due to pressure for China players.
Customers are still holding on average 6 mths of inventory depending on sector.
On top of current labor cost increase from 1.2k to 1.5k and surge in energy cost by 25% in Q2 2022 as mentioned by Gas Malaysia, will likely push makers towards heavier loss in coming quarters.

It's biggest revenue contributor which is the industrial chemical represents 70% of total revenue but only achieve 1.7% profit margin. A 10% drop in ASP due to weaker crude oil will likely push it to losses of more than 5%.

Whereas the agricultural chemical has a 14% profit margin but contributes only 30% of total revenue.
Preferably, the management should spin off the agrichemical biz to achieve better valuation via independent entity or IPO.

Inari Amertron - Risks Linger, Unfavourable Market [RHB-OSK]
There could be a lingering risk from the supply of wireless components to the major smartphone brand via INRI’s largest customer – the current contract expires in mid-2023 – if a further deal cannot be reached or there is a reduction of contracted components. Should this key customer opt for an end-to-end solution (front-end and back-end) made available by closest competitor Qualcomm or successfully develop its own in-house solutions, this may post a significant earnings risk to INRI.

Looks like WTI and brent crude oil price already stabilize between the range of USD82 to USD95.
Very unlikely to test the USD120 level as shale producers globally are doubling down on drilling efforts.
The wildcard will be China and whether there is a possible of full reopening in Q4 2022.

@flyguye
If it's approved next year H1.
Approval still require tendering to prospective airlines.
2023 likely a recession year, cost cutting measure will likely be in place for most airlines, on top on reduce travel spending among customers, may lead to delay implementation by airlines too.
Yup, just my 2 cents.

The better earnings performance in 2021/2022 was attributed by the tax exemption mechanism introduce by gov. Afterall, the gov was trying to revive the automotive industry that was almost dying during 2020. Moreover, the deadline of the tax exemption ending June 2022 was a major final push for customer to placed their orders, with backlogs now till end 2022 with spillover into Q1 2023. As MY TIV is hovering 600k the last few years , introduction of EV will not increase the TIV. A such, the company's earning would normalise towards 2019 pre pandemic earnings. On top of that, most customers had purchase their new vehicles in 2021/2022 would not purchase another vehicle within the next 2-3 years with the current economic conditions. Looking towards US, Europe and Japan, etc, a major recession is expected in 2023 onwards, would very much confirm the outlook of the company's earning back to 2019 pre pandemic.

First time in history ,Topglove made losses.

@BatteriesNotIncluded
Don Sahong took 4 years to built the 4 turbines, is given 25 years to operate before transferring to owner.
With cost to built at RM1.7 bil, this hydropower able to generate at least RM459mil cashflow per annum based on 80% of the 256MW at USD6 cent kwh.
By the way, plantation PAT% for most efficient planter range between 10%-15% due to fertilizer cost, labour,etc. These input cost tend to increase overtime as compared with hydropower where water is free resources and able to attain PAT% of 50% to 60% if the management cost control is good.

@Wan Mohd Farid Wan Zakaria
You are right that the stock is oversold currently.
However, you've missed a key point.
The glove biz is no longer an Oligopoly biz anymore. Even property developers can enter this industry in just 12-18 months, not to mentioned China's player ability to scale faster than anyone. Without any competitive edge or high barrier to entry, glove players are leaning towards monopolistic competition which doesn't demand a premium price to earnings. Besides that, most of the still relies heavily on manual labours which ESG rating could prove a challenge. Glove players are also price takers of raw materials which also makes them vulnerable. In summary, I believe you should focus on your academic skill set.

@PassionateInvestor
The price hike applies for July and August and will be reflect in next quarter results. It’s mentioned clearly in the news media and quarter report as well. Besides that, the input cost will normalised towards years end most commodities prices are coming down. Best part is price for FFB products will not adjust lower when input cost is dropping.

@rattynz

It has short term debts of RM364mil and long term debt of RM193mil. Total debts is RM557mil.
Refer to QR at pg 55

Major oil producers worldwide declaring huge profits and dividend.

Current ratio don't look too good.
No dividend payout says it all.

@NoTimeToTrade
Yup, agreed
Provided taking on more debts to more fuel revenue and profit growth.
Eg: 53% more debt with revenue & profit growth of 80%.

@James_Bond
The unpaid SST tax amounts to RM100mil, likely compounded with penalty% the longer it's delayed.
Hopefully, the company and state gov can have an amicable solution.

However, most of i3 members here are day traders not investors, one day in, next day already out with the plan to buy low and sell high.

RM243 million borrowings in USD.
Short term and long term borrowings as at 30-june 2022 grew 53% and 54% respectively as compared with 31-dec 2021
Revenue grew 16% and net profit decline 42% y-o-y.

Found out that is SAM.

Comparing the quarter result pre-pandemic 2018 and 2019, revenue was below rm180mil and net profit was normally below RM5mil.
Seems something does add up.

This announcement is dated 16 August 2022.

A glorified aircond hardware store with many outlets trading at PE 40.
Just my opinion, it's just a hardware store that grew to many outlets during pandemic as electricians and handyman not able to travel from house to house for fixes.
Was wondering how many screwdrivers, hammer,etc that customers can keep buying every month to support the revenue and profit.

according to IPO prospectus page 3, major shareholders plan to sell 82 mil shares upon reaching 2nd moratorium period of 6 months.
Interesting to note.

Not sure why IB allocate this company with high PE of 40-50.
Those who work in the financial institution would know this company very well.
It's just a company entity delivering reports services to FI and non bank FI mainly to get details of bankruptcy and litigation status.
In fact, CCRIS would be a more important report.
Just over the last few years ,the company actively add some value add services and acquisition to make it attractive for IPO.
In my opinion, it's still a reporting database company with additional bells and whistle and with PE worth not more than 15.
