just like a submarine lurking in the deep, waiting to re-surface at the opportune time that no one knows when, hopefully that 4.56 on 21-12-17 would be its lowest.
Keck Seng's total foreign exchange losses for 2017 was almost RM 58 million, assuming the company didn't do anything to negate the effects of the rising Ringgit.
Look likely for privatization coz they can utilize all their reserves to buy back the shares they did not own since the stock price already fully suppressed.
Mind u , the royal investors of Keck Seng had hold on to the stock more than 20 years ago, until now nothing happen . Worst still, all gain from disposal of assets were kept under co name n minority shareholders got nothing . Even dividend rebates more than 400 mi just let it lapsed like that n all given back to LHDN without considering the fate of minority shareholders. So , how good the co will be ?
Read the Edge today. It talks about privatisation. Looks like undervalue shares are subject to fear of privatisation at cheap price to fatten the Majority shareholders. K Seng look like one, keep cash in Co. without rewarding minority s/holders in dividend. Very unethical Board of Directors. Problem of family owned Co., they treat it as their own with no regard to Minority. Something must be done to prevent this fat cats from helping themselves.
All Minority should be united and try to keep the share price at its true/intrinsic value to prevent Majority from buying it cheap. Recent market trend seems like price is being suppressed, someone always sell at lower price. At this price level, the Majority can privatise and pocket the Co. for free. So, royal Minority with low holding cost should buy up all the "cheap shares" sold purposely. Minority Unite ! Otherwise, "buy low and sell high" no longer hold true. "Long term investment" is just a joke.
They hold AGM at JB. Who would attend ? I attended once and all those present are mostly their own people, hardly any other shareholders. So there are hardly any "check and balance" or any questioning.
Keck send is more like a dream stock ...nothing materialize...in the end ! It is up a day but will fall back to its original a few days later n vpback to square one.
Keck Seng has suffered huge foreign exchange losses, its price can never go up as long as the Ringgit keeps appreciating against the US$. The Ringgit has gone up from 1US$ = RM 4.486 on 01/01/2017 to 1US$ = RM3.876 today or a rise of RM0.61. Keck Seng has in its possession US$112.44 million on 01/01/2017. Just the losses on the US$ alone is already RM68.6 million.
