@bullhunter, many people believe BURSA stks have operators. These savvy operators push down the stk when they want to collect and push up when they want to distribute. So, its good to be cautious when the stk , all of a sudden push up, may get caught at the high.
Safer to hunt when it correct and look for the support level to go in, maybe more success this way, just my view

ALCOM'S maiden rm500 million Industrial park project, was announced in Jan.2018 (9.4 acres land in Kota Damansara,already bgt for rm92 m)
property experts from SCLAND HOLDINGS BHD bgt 29.54% stake in ALCOM and they are heading the property project.
This is perceived as big boss Yeoh Jin Hoe's bold gamble to leapfrog ALCOM to a new higher level of growth .

I believe Chinese production of aluminum is getting scaled down as China is moving away from use of coal. Energy intensive production is going to countries that have large fuel resources. Malaysia with it's gas is great for producing aluminum. These moves by aluminum producing companies to venture into properties could be backed up by need to expand their own facilities.

ALCOM's 1st Qtr net profit dropped 95% compared to previous Qtr, although revenue was commendable at rm101 million.

The Group’s revenue declined marginally by RM2.33 million in Q1 FY2018 as compared to Q3
FP2017 resulting from a small drop in shipment volume. The coated fin and bare fin product
categories which were mainly destined for export markets registered higher shipment volumes
which were offset by lower volumes in the other product categories.
However, the strengthened ringgit vis-à-vis the USD currency impacted the revenue as
the export shipment volume increased by 4%.

The Group recorded a profit before tax of RM0.72 mllion; lower than the immediate preceding
quarter’s achievement of RM4.02 million.

This decline was mainly due to a lower contribution attained,increased provision for advertising & promotion and higher finished materials scrapped.
In addition, legal and professional fees was higher , which were incurred in the engagement of
professional services for the on-going corporate proposal of the Group.
These were partially offset by lower repairs and maintenance costs.

Contribution was lower due mainly in to a metal price lag impact and increased usage of external
rerolls to supplement in-house production capacity.

Metal price lag was a loss in Q1 FY2018 compared to a gain in Q3 FP2017.

In addition, the property segment expenses totaling
RM0.77 million were incurred in Q1 FY2018.
These were mainly related to promotional pre-development expenses and staff costs.

*metal price lag refers to timing differences experienced on the pass through of changing
aluminium prices based on the price we pay for aluminium and the price we charge our
customers after the aluminium is processed
.
B3. Commentary on Prospects
There is a global upswing of growth across the US and Eurozone as well as in the emerging markets.

However, any further escalation in trade conflict between China and US may create global
uncertainties and impact the Group, as a significant portion of the Group’s products are exported.

Against this geopolitical uncertainty, the Group is committed to remain resilient and sustain its performance by re-examining its product mix to improve margins in selected market segments whilst exploring and capturing new markets. At the same time, the continued operational focus will continue to be a priority for the Group.

Ouch !! a big disappointment , in the results, although there were a lot of extra expenses lumped into this Qtr, , expenses incurred in the current reorg n setup of the property division.
So, next Qtr should revert to normal expected margins n more respectable net profit.
At closing price of rm0.75 and NTA of rm0.89 , the downside should be limited here.
Just have to be patient a bit longer for results to show n the new property segment to weigh in, prospects remain optimistic..
