if you wanna play steel counter, annjoo is the best , low lpg and low electricity use. that's the fact, steel price surely go up, and the annjoo will widen the profit but the other steel counter still the same.
FY2015 OVERVIEW Steel industry players in Malaysia faced tremendous pricing and cost pressures in the year under review, stemming from both external and domestic aspects. Internationally, the flood of exceptionally low priced steel emanating from China resulted in the closure of many steel mills worldwide including Malaysia. Locally, the upward revision in "electricity" and "natural gas tariffs" resulted in higher operating costs, while the drastic weakening of the MYR versus major foreign currencies contributed towards additional import costs challenges.
From Annual report masteel 2015
you can see some licin punya orang still dont know how steel industry work, and say masteel do not using LPG
@notebook if you wanna play steel counter, annjoo is the best , low lpg and low electricity use. that's the fact, steel price surely go up, and the annjoo will widen the profit but the other steel counter still the same.
notebook, please be informed that masteel, lionind and ssteel use electric arc furnaces. Perhaps only annjoo uses gas in its blast furnace
Ah.. Ah...time to accumulate...when people are fearful,you get greedy...when people are greedy,you get fearful....very soon...with the bonus and potential dividend...this counter will only go up...some people are trying to capitalise on retail investors' fear to push down the price so that they can collect it with a song...I am already averaging down...I am so used to these tricks in the market...
@notebook, you are talking like you are an expert in the steel mill, may I know what is the % of natural gas use in the steel making process for an electric arc furnace of 80ton/hour?
I guess you cannot differentiate between natural gas and LPG, I suppose.
Masteel does not use natural gas and price hike will not affect the bottom line. Go google the electric arc furnace process and you can understand better. I know the process very well
Some market expert is pushing the price down and they have achieved it Masteel will do well for 2018, I'm very sure. If you said property market will be bad for 2018, the argument is not valid as 2017 property market is also very bad, why Masteel can give a record breaking QR of 38 millions even beating the performance of 2015/2016 when the property market was booming?
For 2018, most of construction projects are in kuala lumpur and johor not in Penang. Annjoo and southern steel both are in Penang.
If you take the transport cost from Penang to Kuala Lumpur and Johor. Both Annjoo and southern steel will have to bear the extra transportation cost of the price hike of natural gas of 25 per ton (250 thr' and fr KL/Penang by 10ton truck)
Masteel simply has the advantage of locality
This is the reason why it is stupid to built perwaja in Gurun and Trenganu. Furthermore Perwaja need to set up transport company with few hundreds trailers for the extra cost and many hundreds millions spent. This was government without business sense.
Really not affected by gas and electricity? read the news today friend there is also electric tariff revision in peninsular malaysia this january 2018
On argument on how masteel make profit n 2017 go read the news and the chronology of events. Then make ur own assessment whther the demand 2018 would be better or not
@Henly Masteel does not use natural gas and price hike will not affect the bottom line. Go google the electric arc furnace process and you can understand better. I know the process very well

Below is a brother Kinz's sharing info on Annjoo price going to up another RM30 per ton on 07/12/17. Rebar price has increased continuous since 2 weeks ago? Don't know true or not, who can confirm the current Rebar price now? Is it RM2,500 now?
Kinz This 2 week steel bar price up a lot , 7th Dec will up another RM30/Mt based on today price , Annjoo quotation . 05/12/2017 16:46
Opportunity is suddenly emerged in such a short time. Money comes back to start working again. lol. Electricity hike in 2018?...Think BN won't be so stupid la...Somemore, RM is strengthening 5% offering a big reduction in input costs.
Property market no good is widely known nowadays ....Will the property developers stop construction or abandon their on going project in year 2018. I don’t know. Wakaka
@henly presenting facts is not instilling fear. I just want to help people make the correction decision. If you have problem with my facts and arguments please refute it with factual data.
wat u all fighting lpg/electric wasting time, cogs up then selling price up, settle liao.
steel already up 20% but construction also run. if stop company doing what? still hve to buy. steel/concrete no substitute. building foundation.. unless you build bamboo house lar.
Incoming supply (under construction) of Residential units worth of RM 68 billion.....will the developers stop construction or halt its ongoing projects in year 2018 to overcome over supply situation? Hahaha
aya some guys talking nut here without direction, confuse all over for no reason. for your information, steel price went up is not only in Malaysia, is a global fenomena. China, us, japan ,korea even indonesia. and all are making tons of monies now, everyday. only those in the industries know. if you are not. then my sincere advice. go fly kite better.
gas price start increase 1/1/2018 right? anybody know what is the selling price of steel bar early next month?
if you are the consumer of steel bar, what you going to do now after the news about the increasing of gas price? wait for next month hope for steel bar price drop?
If i am the customer, i will buy more before the supplier cost increase. Cause high cost, high selling price. Steel manufacturer 999% will transfer the cost to the customer and increase the selling price. Hence, customers will buy more this quarter and the revenue will boost.
Thanks for Joeshare share of the news to clarify that Masteel is using electric to manufacture the steel. It means Masteel wont being affected in the increase of gas price and masteel may benefit from the increase of gas price as his product cost is cheaper than other competitor. Hope tomorrow rebound back and up to higher price.
I respect sifu otb but i have diff. view from him in this matter.. i do however acknowledge sifu otb have way better track record conpared to me. But with that being said it does not mean i am wrong.so shareholders have a responsibilty to do their own homework.
Do you know how much many % of gas cost in the COST OF PRODUCTION OF STEEL INDUSTRY ? whether the 14% increase in gas cost have significant implication to MASTEEL performance. Think properly and logically.
TOP 1 Recycle Steel TOP 2 Electricity COST TOP 3 GAS
Talk gas hike again? Import scrap is the highest cost for ReBar. You know appreciation of MYR from 4.26 to 4.06 per USD has how much cost saving? Calculate this out first before talk about Gas hike.
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....
