No need do better. Absent of adverse effect in Indo operation +absent of bird fly. Plus growth+inflow of cash from right issue. Price still stuck at rm750mil cap.
it's Malaysia market forces determine the price of chicken. When demand lesser than Supply, chicken price will drop. When festive come CNY/Hari Raya, chick price will surge. China chicken price jump doesn't affect MFlour at all because MFlour poultry solely carter for Malaysia market and no export for its poultry product. Their clientele are those KFC, MCD, RAMLY. Chicken price still remain at 4.10 despite busy month for Ramadhan.
You are definitely right, wheat price drop perhaps is good thing most of small flour mills as lower raw mat costs but appreciate of USD against RM already offset it. Most of the wheat they source is from US, currency in used is USD.
Your can always buy at cheaper price with lower grade wheat, higher grade wheat always sell at higher price. There are different grade/type of wheat my friend, if you want a better quality flour, you have to pay more. In order to produce good quality flour, need buy good quality wheat lohh. Perhaps, you guys can go to super/hyper market and find MFM brand flour which sell at around RM 4/pack/kg, expensive/premium?
Why all looking so much at chicken price is because 2016 Mflour able to deliver a great result is contributed from poultry. This does't mean flour business not doing well, but flour business stagnant and no growth factor besides Indonesia.To recap, when live bird price was RM 6.10 Mflour operation profit >RM 15mil back in Qtr 3 2016, But live bird price drop to range between 2.90-4.10in April 2019, I'm pretty sure poultry is loss making.
UnicornP You guys focus too much on the chicken and missed the most important catalyst, the continuing decline of wheat price.
Bravo my fren Steve Ooi, i have been benefit so much from him since Lctitan closure of factory maintainence. He really chun chun call, way before factory close he already ask me to sell it, luckily save my pocket frm burning another 400K
Directors already said Group's performance will improve significantly in 2019 and that the flour and grains trading segment's performance will improve further due to higher sales growth. You believe Mflour directors or the unknown Steve Ooi? You choose.
UnicornP I dint ask you to believe me, and ask you to sell. The market choose to buy or sell is beyond my control nor you. As a group view, Mflour still making profit for quarter 1.
Grain business not making money since last year due to new comer.
