I mentioned before, Petronm is not suitable for short term play, due to share liquidity is very low then the prices movement can be quite a bit of range and it also open up to easy price manipulation.
If u cannot stand this kind of boring ride, then I can tell u the boring journey just started, it might take a while.
If u look back on trading day 23/2, 24/2 & 27/4 there are around 7+ millions change hand, after taking out there short term trading volume, conservatively there are still around 3 millions shares been bought up. So where is those shares now, for the last 4-5 trading days the trading volumes are rather thin. What are they up too ??? Your guess are good as mine !
Inside our investment group there is a member bought Petronm few months back @ $4+ ! after go through few months boring ride, he can't wait to cash out last week on the limit up day. He is very happy with his profit & ask what other counters he can invest ?
Our reply is ........ Petronm !!! Ha ha ha......
Joke aside, this is a company with good asset, good brand, good business model, good management & healthy financial status ! Apa lu mau lagi ??
Start from April 2017, petrol retail prices will be revised weekly. This is good for Petronm as the earning will be more stable as compare to monthly revised.
The news is a bit confused, now it seems that government will set the ceiling price weekly and let the operators decide the selling price. It seems like short term might have a price war ?
Government dont subsidy petrol anymore. that is the good thing happen to oil refiner. Above measure should be a measure to safeguard downstream industry profit after refiner. If petronm got these stations, should be a positive move right?
yes the news is confusing. it says ceiling price but didn't say let petrol stations to determine their own selling price. and in last few para it mentioned that the petrol dealers asked that ceiling price mechanism not to be introduced and other requests and minister said government will consider these.
so ceiling price or not? so far all the news are quoting bernama so really can't tell what the minister actually meant
but pricing weekly is indeed better for retailers than monthly. changes in fuel price will also be less volatile. hiking 10c for 4 consecutive weeks sounds better than hiking 40c at month-end. government is hoping that consumers will get numb with the announcements after a while
My thought is whether Petron as retailer and refiner has any advantage over others on this weekly price floating adjustment, in term of price war I think Petron can control cost more efficient than others, in return gain the market share
