US stocks, tech draw record inflows in latest week - Barclays
LONDON, March 15 (Reuters) - Equity funds drew $56.4 billion of inflows in the latest week, driven by record inflows to both U.S. and technology funds, Barclays said in a note on Friday, citing data from EPFR.
Globally, all equity sectors saw inflows, with tech attracting the most on record at $22 billion, while healthcare and financials drew inflows of around $7 billion each, Barclays said..
Samsung Electronics of South Korea announced on March 20 that it expects to generate over $100 million in revenue this year from its advanced semiconductor packaging business. CEO Kyung Kye-hyun, at the annual shareholders' meeting, mentioned that the investment in this newly launched sector is expected to yield results in the latter half of the year. The company aims to achieve profits exceeding its market share in the semiconductor memory business, with a DRAM share of 45.5% in the last quarter of the previous year, according to TrendForce. Samsung is advancing in high-bandwidth memory (HBM) production to meet the growing demand driven by AI expansion and is likely to unveil the next-generation HBM4 in 2025, aiming for a comprehensive semiconductor service that meets customer needs by integrating memory, manufacturing, and design operations.
Gtronic is serving mostly consumer electronics components. I guess that's why the current new CEO is trying hard to engage with more customers to divert from consumer to industrial usage semiconductors. You can clearly see that Gtronic focuses more on niche product in order to enjoy the high margin. Their capex has been sluggish since FY2019 until FY2022. In these years, their capex is ranging from 10-20million only. This is something that I don't like, they are not trying hard to put shareholders money into expanding the business. However, the capex upcycle has been resumed since FY2023, with 30 million which I think it's a good sign of new orders incoming. In FY2024, the CEO told the analyst that they are going to do 50 million in capex, which is something that I like. The new CEO is finally utilizing their cash flow to do something other than giving back all the money to the shareholders.
They have mentioned multiple times in their quarterly report that they are engaging with new customers to get new orders. I trust what they said because most of the penang tech companies are very accountable and honest. Gtronic is trying hard to position themselves to benefit from the upcoming semiconductor uptrend. The only downside that I can see now is the new management. We need time to understand what's their thinking and whether or not they can be trusted to turnaround the business.
Nevertheless, all the OSAT companies in Malaysia will benefit gao gao from this China-US tech war. More and more companies will approach our local players for order diversifying and eventually making our local champions to become more prosperous. I guess this is the new theme with almost no downside but huge upside that a contrarian investors can safely bet on. Remember, human will perform the best when they are in pressure.

Based on Bloomberg data, Globetronics has received five "hold" ratings and four "sell" recommendations. Despite this, the stock closed at RM1.40 on April 9, surpassing analysts' 12-month median target price of RM1.24. Maybank Investment Bank Bhd, which has assigned a "sell" rating to Globetronics with a target price of RM1.05, expresses concerns about the stock being overvalued. They highlight the company's challenging near-term outlook due to margin pressures stemming from a high fixed-cost base.
CEO Heng Charng Yee says the new business segment will enable Globetronics to package semiconductor chips supportive of artificial intelligence (AI) technology.

New business will take time to materialize. And she highlighted that it can take a maximum of 2 years to happen. Many things can happen in 2 years, good or bad. Uncertainties are there.
