Please read the below link. https://klse.i3investor.com/blogs/rhinvest/145713.jsp Quote According to Southeast Asia Iron and Steel Industries, the annual total steel consumption in Malaysia is about 10m tonnes for the past four years from 2013 to 2016, while the total capacity of the four major steel rebar maker in Malaysia is only 8.5m.
Historically, domestic steel demand was mainly supported by local production and cheap imports from China. Nevertheless, the scenario has changed since year 2016 after China committed to performing structural supply-side reforms in its steel sectors due to an overcapacity issue.
As a result, steel prices are trending up due to capacity elimination. There is not likely to see huge decline in global steel prices moving forwards.
Overall, most of the local steel companies are currently enjoying strong cash flows and reasonably good demand visibility in the intermediate term. Unquote
Comments Look like uncle Koon is wrong again, OTB is right again.
Demand of long steel bar is greater than supply of long steel bar.
Hence it is very important to do homework rather than listen to rumour.
Bonus issue coming... Almost certain Masteel will report very good result in upcoming quarter. What a waste if you lose your standing once people shake you a bit.
Sabah/Sarawak normal 10-20% higher than here. 4K wont reach. Contruction will slowdown, demand will lower and price will down back. Its economy effect. Higher price/lower demand.
1. Bonus 1:3 before CNY 2. RM strengthen about 5% since 01/01/18 3. Rebar price range RM2,590 to 2,700, higher ASP compare Q417 4. Strong demand in market, Q1 18 continue to get higher sales volume
with the above, i strongly believe Q1 18 estimated core profit will at 25 mil to 30 mil
