Monkey, your concerns are not misplaced. 3rd Q earnings will be lower. However,
1. AVERAGE price during 2nd Q was probably RM2200, not RM2400. 2. Since the imposition of anti-dumping duties, prices are now in the RM 2,000 region. 3. Also, imports which command 50% of the domestic market, will now be substantially reduced. Hence, local players will soon have larger volume sales to offset lower margins vs the exceptional margins of 2nd Q.
Masteel's revenue usually double than Mycron. Profit margin has increased. Demand will increase also. Maybe its effect more than double. You know where it is going. So don't lose your focus. Hold tight guys.
@sostupid, masteel need to build new roiling mill to cater for the higher rebar demand. Furthermore Masteel need not has to buy billets from elsewhere. The existing meltshop capapcity will be able to cater for the higher demand. This is the plus points of masteel. So when the rolling mill are in place, profit will be double.
You keep saying MRT MTR MTT whatever, MRT1 didn't help to make all steel producers in past few years, you expect miracle from MRT2, 3, 4 or X to help boost steel industry?
Ooh, I think you may be right, the rail track is built by steel.
