Thanks stockraider. Totally agree with you. This is a high growth and high dividend stock waiting to be discovered and explode. When their Philippines plant start to contribute in a big way very soon, earnings growth is going to be exponential. But it is so small cap and the sellers are so far and few in between. Cheers.
New PERSTIMA tinning line in the Philippines expected to be operational by Q4-2021 Jan 20, 2021 Tenova reports that it has been contracted for a 200,000 tonnes/year new high-speed electrolytic tinning line with insoluble anodes by Perusahaan Sadur Timah Malaysia (PERSTIMA) Berhad, premier producer and supplier of high quality tinplate in South East Asia. This cutting-edge technology will be implemented in PERSTIMA’s plant in Batangas (Philippines). The electrolytic line is expected to be put into operation by Q4-2021. The electrolytic combined tin-plating and tin-free steel line will work at 550 meters/minute at entry/exit and 420 at the process section, for annual production of 200,000 tons. The steel strip will be 550-1000 mm wide and 0.10-0.60 mm thick, and the line will process all the main grades of steel for a product mix which will satisfy the most recent demand of the high-quality market. A minimum tin coating thickness of 1.1 g/m2 is guaranteed. The line is equipped with a dedicated section (cells and recirculation equipment) for the production of tin free steel process as well. Tenova will provide the state-of-the art automation with an enhanced Web-Based Level 2 and Roll Management Software to automatically schedule roll activities in the processing line. “Tenova insoluble anodes technology will permit an easier handling of the process section with highest safety for the operators. Tenova developed an advanced system for the tin-dissolution reactors, achieving very low tin losses in the sludges. This represents a very positive aspect both for economic and environmental reasons”, affirmed Giuseppe Zanzi, Tenova Italimpianti & Strip Processing Sales Manager SEA & India. “This new project will allow our customer to address the request of higher quality tinplate and TFS in the region, confirming our position in high-standards tin-plating market, after previous important contracts in Spain and in China, among the others”, affirmed Stefano Marelli, Tenova Global Sales Manager South East Asia. Finally, a further improvement in the quality of the tin-plate has been achieved through the development of special edge-masks. These devices prevent the “white edge defects” due to tin overcoating at the edges while processing strips with different widths. In addition, Tenova edge-mask design guarantees easy inspection and access to the cell. Tenova Insoluble Anode Technology with IGBT Rectifiers globally permits a large operating saving in tin and electrical consumption, guaranteeing the top of quality.
Normal behavior of such small cap illiquid counter. No more excitement after div. Furthermore with poor recent quarterly result. Unless next qtr result is going to be good. Then some excitement with insiders slowly and quietly buying.
Perstima returns over the past decade had been declining. Its 2024 and projected 2025 returns are negative. It falls into the Quicksand quadrant in the Fundamental Mapper. https://i.postimg.cc/SK39R3W3/Perstim-FM-return.png Looking at this picture, you may think that there is no hope. But the Fundamental Mapper is based on trend projection. It would also not be realistic to simply project continuous declining returns. Management is not going to sit quietly without some turnaround plans.
In the case of Perstima, the performance over the past 2 years were dragged down by the start up of its new plant in Philippines. Furthermore the declining returns was because while there was revenue and profits growth, there was faster growth in capital as funds were needed for the Philippines expansion.
The future is not going to be the same as the past decade. As such I would expect a turnaround and a return to profitability in the not too distant future. Are you going to wait for this to happen before entering, or would it be better to enter now when the market has yet to recognize this turnaround potential?
Moral of the story? If you are prepared to dig into the details, you can find opportunities when all seem lost from an initial look. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MVN2Jtcv3r8
The Malaysian government has announced preliminary anti-dumping duties on the imports of tinplate — flat-rolled products of iron or non-alloy steel coated with tin — from China, India, Japan and South Korea, effective Saturday (Jan 11), at rates ranging from 2.52% to 36.8%.
This decision follows a preliminary investigation that found evidence of dumping, as the export price of the imported tinplate is lower than its normal value, and this dumping has caused material injury to the domestic industry producing similar products, according to a federal government gazette issued by the Attorney General's Chambers on Friday.
The Ministry of Investment, Trade and Industry announced the start of the anti-dumping probe in mid-August last year, following a petition from Perusahaan Sadur Timah Malaysia (Perstima) Bhd, which had alleged that tin products were sold in Malaysia at "much lower price" than in their countries of origin.
Perstima filed the petition on July 15, requesting an investigation into the imports of flat-rolled products of iron or non-alloy steel of a width of 600mm or more, clad, plated or coated with tin from China, India, Japan and South Korea. The company manufactures tinplates typically used as cans for food and beverage.
To prevent further injury to the domestic industry during the ongoing investigation, provisional anti-dumping duties will be applied to the imports of these products, according to the gazette on Friday. This temporary measure is to protect Malaysian producers from the adverse effects of unfairly priced imports.
"A final determination in relation to the investigation shall be made within the period of 120 days from Jan 11, 2025," the gazette read.
