1 of the few companies which reported stronger QoQ, not to mention fantastic YoY. Suspect the stronger QoQ trend to continue into Q2 as guided by the optimism of management. But shares not ''popular'' among retailers as it is of high price, and liquidity is low.

We maintain our BUY call, forecasts and fair value of RM2.47/share based on 18x revised FY23F EPS. We value KPower at a discount to the average forward 20x PE of leading renewable energy players globally to reflect: (1) KPower being a relatively new player in this space; and (2) its relatively small market value. No ESG-related adjustments to our fair value based on a 3-star rating as appraised by us (Exhibit 2). KPower has proposed a private placement of new shares of approximately 10.8% of its outstanding shares or 48.8mil shares at an indicative issue price of RM2.05/share. The RM100mil proceeds from this exercise are mainly earmarked for working capital (i.e. 50MW LSS4 power plant, mini hydropower plants and other upcoming projects). Based on our estimates, the gross proceeds of RM100.0mil will increase KPower’s net cash position to RM163.5mil (or 25 sen/share) from RM63.5mil (or 10.5 sen/share) as at 31 March 2021. Meanwhile, based on our calculation, the new shares will dilute its FY23F core EPS by 6% as a 10.8% expansion in the share base more than offset a 2% earnings enhancement arising from interest income (based on an interest rate assumption of 2%). Assuming the deal is to be completed, our fair value shall fall to RM2.33 based on the same valuation basis. We are neutral on this development. YTD for FY21F (June), KPower has secured jobs worth a total of RM1.2bil, which is still within our annual job wins assumption of RM1.4bil for FY21-23F (vs. KPower’s guidance of RM2.0bil for FY21F). The group’s outstanding construction order book stands at about RM2.0bil. We continue to like KPower for: (1) the bright prospects of renewable energy, underpinned by the global trends towards clean and sustainable energy and carbon neutrality to combat climate change; and (2) its strong earnings visibility and growth potential underpinned by its RM2.0bil order backlog on green utility projects, coupled with a massive tender book of RM3.4bil. At about 12x fully-diluted FY23F earnings, we believe that this homegrown renewable energy player has a compelling investment case given its involvement in the green sector where the growth trajectory is just beginning.
Malaysia is slowly becoming a failed state. Please tell the government to stop any lockdown or else the GDP forecast is nothing but a scam. The Zafrul interview this morning on Bloomberg was terrible
Slow, stable growth. Malaysian economy GDP forecasts look terrible on paper. Upon further scrutiny, Malaysian tech companies should be safe from headwinds and market downturn. Also, the consensus estimates is that the CPI data today would not affect the market and it might also leads to a bullish quarter soon
Because not every funds are aggressive with their investment strategies and they prefer large cap tech stocks instead of micro-cap like Genetec? What kind of question is that?
Lead times—a reference to the length of time between a chip customer’s order and delivery—hit an average 19.3 weeks in June, which is five weeks longer than what was seen at the peak of the last cycle in mid-2018, according to Christopher Rolland of Susquehanna. Long lead times can prompt chip buyers to build up inventories and even double order, which can exacerbate sales declines later. Mr. Rolland considers lead times above 16 weeks to be in the “danger zone” for chip companies.
Chip makers also could see pressure on their bottom lines as the cost of staying competitive keeps increasing. Micron warned investors earlier this month of an increase in “capital intensity” as it adopts expensive EUV production tools into its manufacturing. And TSMC reported a two-percentage-point decline in its gross margins for the June quarter, citing in part the expense of its latest manufacturing processes. Competition also is spurring dealmaking; The Wall Street Journal reported Thursday that Intel INTC -1.51% is exploring a deal to buy chip manufacturer GlobalFoundries for around $30 billion.
