Mycron surely will deliver better qtr result , thething beyond 4.78cts eps will be very encouraging to it's share price.
For, Melewar case it's definitely a laggard play .Given Melewar's 71% owned in Mycron, Melewar has a big gap to reap on considering the daughter has risen for almost 6 fold from $0.21 .
To recoup, Steel are on their 3 wave making. Meaning to say Steel has more legs, considering Steel commodity recovering may can last for 1-3 years.
U might see rotational play in the steel sector, juz choose wise for the winners. The rest smaller one shall follow after the leaders take the first run.
I like O&G upstream big turning around of Hibiscus, I believe Hibiscus can offer greater safety of margin by now. Next year onward midstream players shall follow.
Initially recovery of O&G still very volatile , steels are the better play for now.
@ John Lu bro, u may notice both Melewar and Mycron seen to be capped from their recent high. I'm dare to say it is purposely designed from the Bigger Hand to absorb from those who want to exit at this juncture to lock in profit.
All n all , this qtr profit will have a definitely decision on where Melewar & Mycron heading to.
KUALA LUMPUR (Nov 25): Malaysia Steel Works (KL) Bhd (Masteel) posted its second straight quarterly profit in the third quarter ended Sept 30, 2016 (3QFY16), as it benefited from higher margins on lower operating cost.
It posted a net profit of RM1.24 million or 0.51 sen a share in 3QFY16 compared with a net loss of RM24.14 million or 10.04 sen loss per share a year ago.
Revenue, however, fell 8.6% to RM275.45 million in 3QFY16 from RM301.44 million in 3QFY15 on lower sales volume.
For the nine months period (9MFY16), it posted a net profit of RM17 million compared with a net loss of RM49.01 million in 9MFY15 as revenue slipped 0.8% to RM861.81 million from RM869.03 million in 9MFY15.
On prospects, Masteel said due to various favorable policy-driven factors emanating from China, such as steel plant consolidation, robust construction activities, reducing steel inventory and rising production costs, steel prices have seen a steady increase.
It said recent news on the election agenda of US President-elect Donald Trump, who had promised to spend up to US$550 billion on a stimulus plan, is estimated to increase steel demand in the US by 22 million tonnes per year for the next five years. This bodes well for the global steel market.
"Domestic steel prices are also expected to continue to improve, underscored by the effects of the weaker ringgit and safeguard duty put in place since end-September, which will make imported steel products substantially more costly," it added.
"(As such,) Masteel is well poised to benefit from any opportunity due to the timely commissioning of its new rolling mill, improved steel-making technology and proximity to major markets," it said in a filing with Bursa Malaysia today.
Masteel shares closed 1.2% higher at 82 sen today, bringing a market capitalisation of RM201.09 million.
Due to the various favorable policy driven factors emanating from within China such as steel plant consolidation, robust construction activities, reducing steel inventory and rising production costs, this has resulted in the steady increase of steel prices. The recent news on the election agenda of the President- elect of the United States of America, Mr Donald Trump which has promised to spend up to USD 550 billion for stimulus plan is estimated to increase steel demand in the USA by 22 million metric tons of steel per year for the next 5 years (Source: Morgan Stanley 14th November 2016) The global steel market is buoyed by the above news and domestic steel prices is expected to continue to improve underscored by the effects of the weaker ringgit and safeguard duty being in placed since end of September 2016 and thus making imported steel products to be substantially more costly. A strong upward steel price trajectory is expected to be tempered by the current softness in domestic demand for steel. However, the Company is well poised to benefit from any opportunity due to the timely commissioning of its new rolling mill, improved steel making technology and proximity to major market
=================================
not all gloom......next quarter expect to be much better.
Nowaday,the play in this stockmarket is very different.You have to be selective in the stock pick even from the same sector that is performing very well!
you must know that price was up to 106 after qrresult previos quarter then droped to79 in view of profit taking and uncertaintyof last quarterof this year qr last year was -10 but this time is +.51 so the consolidation of 80 for pver 30 days should serve as abase for the next push albeit slowly of stonger result in the near future maybe as soon as qr of 1st quater of 2017 so dont be myopic in your view and buy ikanwith a long tern view ikan bilis with contra will sell at a loss with announcement ofresultf big sharks with monies will buy gleefully from the poor ikan bilis who buy on contra poor poor ikan bilis better dont buy with no monies i bet this masteel will touch 110 by jan2017
June-Sep, steel price min 50, max 60. Oct till date, min 55, max 73.23. Still fear? hehe~ no need surprise if someone take ur cheap tickets later. Happy trading.
Based on the price movements captured in Investing.com, how come the steel price din went the same direction like crude oil? Any article to share? Wanne improve my knowledge here.
masteel hoarding the inventories for after protection safeguard measures are in effect, which took place in the last week of september. so the full margin improvements, and local demand will only start in the oct-dec qtr.
no doubt protection safeguard measures effective lately. masteel this quarter result is bad due to no demand. if sales no improve in this Q, the psm will not help.
