New COVID hybrid XE could be the most transmissible yet, WHO says

A new COVID hybrid first detected in the UK could be 10% more transmissible than the BA.2 sub-variant of Omicron, the World Health Organization (WHO) has said.

There have been a total of 637 cases of XE – a recombinant of Omicron BA.1 and BA.2 – in the UK so far, according to UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA).

XE Variant: New COVID Strain May be More Contagious Than BA.2 Subvariant, WHO Says

The more contagious omicron subvariant BA.2 has become the dominant COVID-19 strain in the U.S., but international health experts are putting an increased focus on a new hybrid variant that may even be more infectious.

The XE variant is a recombinant, meaning it is comprised of genetic material from two other strains, which in this case are BA.1, the original strain of omicron, and BA.2, known as "stealth omicron."

According to an epidemiological update published March 29 by the World Health Organization, estimates show XE is 10% more transmissible than BA.2, however the findings require further confirmation.

Seems to be consistent buying by EPF last week for whatever that is worth. Of course, it would be good if there is institutional support.

Probably too early for an uptrend ie higher highs and higher lows?

Anyway, hope it closes positive today or at least above RM5.00.

@Anxious most IB analyst forecast gloves to be neutral. While glove counters are cheap, I don't expect price to move up anytime soon. We just have to rely on decent QR results or other external factors to push price up. My glove counters are safely tuck in the freezer, paying more attention to other industries.

@Anxious, bang_miskin is bang on. Just hang on to gloves for now and come back on major macro changes. There are other beat down industry which could be possible to find stocks with promising prospects. Good luck!

Though if it reaches near rm4 again, I would at least have some money to average down for now LOL.

The previous QR for Dec 2021 (Q3) was released only on 2nd week of Feb, I'm expecting the Q4 to be released after Raya holiday, if not later.

However, personally I'm a little bearish for the price movement after said QR as it is basically a compilation of the first 3 quarters plus a 4th quarter inclusive of cukai makmur, having doubts if Q4 can significantly outperform expectation.
But it is also not to the extent that I'm confident enough to sell now and buy back later. Hate to buy high sell low. Just ready bullet for reload to catch the drop, if any.

I think its too late for bag holders like us to consider selling now. Worst case scenario , it goes down to RM3.50 but I doubt it will stay there very long. So for me I will hold on to my shares and wait for it to rebound. Someday, it will stop falling.

results out tomorrow? hopefully bucks the trend this time

Posted by Anxious > 2022-04-28 17:42 | Report Abuse

Since last year, after every Quarterly Results, the share price just keeps on dropping.

I read somewhere that the results will be out tomorrow. Hopefully we don't test the 52 week low of RM4.15 next month.

Really tired of this endless SP dropping every quarter for a company that even in January last year was receiving so much praise.

Luckily, I dont need the money and am content to receive the dividends until it bounces back.

Any idea how much the dividend could be? Hopefully at least 10 sen but it could even be 5 sen?

With the benefit of hindsight, I probably should have cut loss long ago but at these prices, I believe there is more upside to downside, so I am still hanging on.

Surely it cant go to ZERO right, although dividend could.

Hopefully the selling stops and the SP finds some support soon as its truly depressing to see the SP to continue to slide.

Having said all that, I am not holding my breath.....

@Anxious, dividend is typically 60% of previous quarter's profit, if i recall correctly.

@Observatory, thanks for sharing IntCo result! The 1Q22 results looks stable when compared with 4Q21 imo, albeit a bit worse.
