@cutie Don't know whether there's more bleeding to come. But at 3.92, it is certainly not a sucker's price. For one thing, can take comfort that we are buying at a much lower price than what it once was.
I feel too many speculators were trying to play the "Sarawak election surge". The thing is, most people had been right about the expected results. So there's nothing to power a surge. This only comes about when something is better than expected.
Might have to wait a while before investors' confidence and interest returns. The best that we can hope right now is that big investors don't continue to sell. If they do, then it's prudent to take a small loss while waiting for them to finish with whatever amount they plan to dispose.
Hi all, please pardon me and don't scold me for sharing my opinion as below sharing is meant to caution you rather then blocking you to make money/ make lesser money / make loss.
If my facts are correct, then i may have save you from making more losses by averaging down. Or FA investors should be able to see the opportunities and redo all your calculation.
1) Taann has 45% of revenue derived from palm oil. The substantial 30% drop may impact earning a lot. You must understand, fix cost is always there. A significant change in input (revenue) will drive down earning a lot. They don't move in same rate.
2) log production didnt change much. That may explain why WTK and the rest are relatively stable.
3) for Q4 2015, there is a reversal of Rm 13.5 million from impairment. This figure may not repeat again.
4) for Q2 15, Q3 15 & Q4 15, they have forex gain of RM 2.5 mil , RM 9.1 mil & RM 4.4 mil respectively. If they practice good hedging, such gain may not appeared. For Q 16, RM appreciated 10%, if they still don't do good hedging, the result could be reverse as they have substantial "positive" exposure of USD, JPY and AUD.
5) industry love this Q vs last year same Q. But share market now is this Q vs immediate preceeding Q. i believe this is another fact.
Please do not repeat my failure while on the way to great profit.
Average CPO price 2016: Jan 2257; Feb 2434; Mar 2529 Average CPO price 2015: Oct 2213; Nov 2124; Dec 2155
-------Average CPO Q1 2016 vs Q4 2015 = increase 11%
Average Plywood price 2016: Jan 461.76; Feb 475.70; Mar 483.53 Average Plywood price 2015: Oct 455.04; Nov: 445.54; Dec 448.69
-----Average Plywood Q1 2016 vs Q4 2015 = increase 5.4%
Average hard log price 2016: Jan 251.76; Feb 259.34; Mar 263.62 Average hard log price 2015: Oct 248.08; Nov 242.90; Dec 244.62
-----Average hard log Q1 2016 vs Q4 2015 = increase 5.3%
Increase CPO price vs decrease Output = net impact is NOT direct 1:1 relation.....as palm oil involve production cost....estimate CPO production cost around RM 1.600-1.800....therefore, increase CPO price have higher impact than decrease output production...... as 10% increase in selling CPO price will generate higher net profit margin which have greater impact to earning if compared to decrease 10% in output production
Taann is simple commodity resource oriented stock, reap earning from selling CPO, plywood, hard log......production volume all publish in bursa monthly and commodity daily, monthly selling price all clearly publish available...transparent....
Furthermore, Taann balance sheet is very strong, long term debt + short term borrowing about RM 460m.....but back by strong deposit cash RM 320m....if these year, taann can deliver sustainable earning by another RM 200m...then its balance sheet will turn into net cash position.
In addition, Taann is generous to reward shareholder with recurring dividend 10sen + 10sen + 1 for 5 bonus share
Current continue strengthening back USD.........USD vs RM = 4.09.......Ta ann earning is sensitive to currency exchange as most of its timber product and CPO are for export.
Nevertheless, Ta ann upcoming Q1 result should record lower profit if compared to immediate preceding Q4 2015 (EPS 15.65sen) due to absent one off item and forex , but should record higher if compared to corresponding Q1 2015 (EPS 7.31sen).......expect to deliver Q1 2016 EPS around 10sen + declare interim dividend at least 10sen
Yes, it should record higher profit when compared to Q1 2015. I am expecting bonus issue first and then 10 cents div after bonus issue which is equivalent to 12 cents div before bonus issue.
@hng33, while your analysis is logical and rather sound, with the recent sharp decline in share price, market is pricing/expecting in a weaker 1Q16 result (both QoQ and YoY). You know it later this evening.
Noticed that once a share went down so much.. quite hard for it to climb back up bcos profit takers / contrarians will block the routes.. and eventually it will drop back.. which is happening currently. Need big buy volume to absorb those so-called resistances...
GTRONIC you need to understand that its net profit dropped by a lot. TAANN drop due to EPF selling + panic selling. There might be bad news, but at the moment I guess only EPF fund managers and big players know. So wait for the quarter result...
US rates have no way to go but up and Malaysia's interest rate will go down bcos growth has stalled. So USD will be very strong and hence export stocks.
This book is the result of the author's many years of experience and observation throughout his 26 years in the stockbroking industry. It was written for general public to learn to invest based on facts and not on fantasies or hearsay....
