What investors should know about FAST (KLSE: 0084) beyond rights issue
Time and time again, investors would react negatively towards rights issue due to its cash calling nature. And being one of the fast (pun-intended) expanding company, FAST had suffered from the knee-jerk reaction from investors too
Fortunately, 12.0 cents seem to be the very bottom of it, and we could easily observe that investors are still actively collecting FAST’s shares. I rarely would tell people that I found the next gem, but I found the next gem. This is it.
Let me point it out for you, on 3 key things that you should note about FAST.
Involvement in the semiconductor space
Let us take an excerpt from the introduction of the company from the website.
Fast Energy Holdings Berhad, an investment holding company, manufactures and distributes specialized fasteners and related precision turning and machining parts for the electronics, telecommunication, computer peripherals, and automotive industries. It also manufactures and trades in epoxy encapsulant materials for optoelectronics industries; mold cleaning rubber sheets; and electronic hardware products. In addition, the company offers training analytical and consultancy services; bunkering, oil bunkering, and vessel chartering services.
Although the company had changed its name, but the core profit generator is still the semiconductor business. We all know that semiconductor businesses would thrive in the coming years, due to increase in semiconductors in all kinds of equipment. Semiwiki had provided very good insights on some key semiconductor growth drivers.
Once the semiconductor supply catches up with demand, growth in 2022 will be dependent on the economy and the demand for end equipment. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) in July forecast global GDP will increase 6.0% in 2021 as the world recovers from the pandemic. The IMF expects the recovery momentum to carry into 2022 with 4.9% growth, up from the May forecast of 4.4%. Canalys expects the smartphone market to bounce back to a 12% gain in 2021 after a 7% decline in 2020 primarily due to pandemic related manufacturing disruptions. Canalys shows 2022 smartphone growth of 5%, higher than the growth rates in the four years prior to the pandemic. IDC has not updated its PC forecast since May, where it called for an 18% increase in 2021 and a 5% decline in 2022. In 2Q 2021 PC shipments showed a slowing of growth, but the year 2021 should still show a double-digit gain in PC units. IHS Markit projects light vehicle production will be 83 million units in 2021, up 11% from 2020. Vehicle production in 2021 has been limited by semiconductor shortages. 2022 light vehicles should be up a strong 9% as the industry catches up to pre-pandemic production levels.
Well, in short, FAST is poised for growth, and it is one of the cheapest price-to-sale semiconductor company in the whole market.
Expansion plan in petroleum related products
As we mentioned that the first half of FAST is made up from semiconductor segment, the rest of it was actually in petroleum products, commodities, and bunker oil.
Further, it trades in petroleum products and commodities, including bunker oil. The company operates in Malaysia, the United States, Europe, and Asia. The company was formerly known as Techfast Holdings Berhad and changed its name to Fast Energy Holdings Berhad in July 2021. Fast Energy Holdings Berhad was incorporated in 2004 and is headquartered in Shah Alam, Malaysia.
Some of you may have not know about it, but some of the bunker oil that ships, and vessels are using are actually “dirty oil”, or fuel with high sulphur content. Pursuant to the implementation of IMO 2020 and ESG drive, the market will be moving towards low sulphur fuel oil – which is what FAST had billions worth of contract on hand waiting to be utilized. In fact, FAST is only one of the two listed companies in Malaysia who was involved in the LSFO business.
I understand that some investors are concerned on how the proceeds will be utilize, and as you can see here, majority of the fund will be channeled to purchase of petroleum products, which is marine fuel oil and marine gas oil to fulfil their multi-billion contract.
If you are holding existing shares for FAST, I suggest you oversubscribe it for the sake of free warrants. If you don’t, you might lose out massively as people are rushing to oversubscribe the shares to lower their costs – this, is an industry secret.
Back to the company level, we could see that the management is serious on expanding their footprint in the oil business, and I believe the bottom line of the company could jump in few-fold manner in no time. Now is practically the best chance to invest in FAST!
No point subscribe if market price below rights issue price. It will drop further after dilution ...maybe down to 0.07 if current price persist . Then I will buy buy buy .

Will subscribe....they have contracts totalling over 4 billions
========================== Kanger was also in the same situation when you lured the newbies to subscribe the rights at 6sen per share, now trading at only 3-3.5sen
Many Fast share holders could not sell their OR rights, it means no one have confident in Fast business, therefore expected Fast share prices will drop below 10 sens easily...
Whistlebower, I gave my reasons for subscribing. You can check whether those statements like values of contracts, some initial profits from oil bunkering are true or not. buy or sell is individual's responsibility. You mentioned Kanger, I still hold the shares. You should mentioned also Scope, you can check I also gave reasons why I subscribed at 20+ sen.
yup..they wanna all of us throw out everything so that they can corner the mother share and warrant... at 0.60+- until 0.25+- they mostly clear up the shares on their hand
Directors are responsible to ensure success of rights issue exercise to raise fund from shareholders but they are not responsible to ensure shareholders make money from subscription of rights issue shares.
