The only reason i can think off is the strengthening of RM against USD might have impact on the forex gain/loss and also it might affect their upcoming revenue since they are mainly export driven and the conversion USD to RM might reduce.
Let's see this 19th Dec on the vote of confidence. If AI get 2/3 vote of confidence, then RM might strengthen further. It is good for import driven business but bad for export driven business. Furthermore, most online sales such as Amazon, alibaba and taobao has reported lesser sales and it is predicted next year will be worst before it get better. I guess this is also another factor. If gomen pass the online sales tax, i believed it will dampen further this counter. Just my 2c thought but preparing myself for the uncoming headwind
read recent IB coverage on BPPLas and indeed there is a strong headwinds. I guess the entire stretch film industry will face the similar problem just like what happen to gloves. Being more cautious now.
Kenanga research maintain TP3.99 for Tguan. Lower the TP for Bpplas. Tguan qr improved QoQ even not in favorable market. Without the economy recession concern, it would hv been traded above RM3 easily
Wondering how will the new electricity ICPT tariff affect Tguan starting 1st Jan. Not much clarity except those medium voltage and High voltage consumer will need to pay 20c instead of 3.7c for the ICPT. That is a huge increase in terms of the ICPT rate and Tguan is not in the list of exemption (agriculture, SME, food manufacturer and LV non-domestic)
Huh? They introduce a new tax deduction just for this electricity tariff? As for as i know It increase your operating cost and hence lead to reduce in profit margin. The increase is significant which is a out 30% of overall electricity cost.
The strengthening of RM against USD and the increase of ICPT does not goes well with export oriented company. RM up against the greenback should giving more buying power to power producer and hence lower the operating cost but it would't be pass down to consumer as the ICPT will be reviewed only in Jul'23. Revenue also might drop due to exchange rate.
The div question was asked in the AGM and if not mistaken management ans that the need the money for the expansion. They said it is better for all shareholder by growing the company and create more value of the company .
Auditor n consultant used to talk very highly of this counter, when he left,I follow suit.That was quite a long while ago.I am surprised to see quite a few familiar players still here.Friends, don't not overstay,move on to greener pastures.
Yea, this counter has been smelling like a value trap for some time already. Finally, even the analyst damn bullish on this counter, KENANGA also reduced its TP.
Tguan is a long-term investment, however, I will wait for Q1'23 results that should release by end of may to see how much it is impacted due to:
1. The raise in electricity ICPT from 3.7c to 20c. 2. The strengthening of RM to USD that has strengthen about 10%. 3. The increase of labor wages and also reduction of work time from 48 hours to 45 hours per week starting 1st Jan'23. This will increase the overhead with the same working hours. 4. Increase of commercial water tariff (about 28%) and IWK charges as well.
The above will put pressure on its revenue and profit margin and furthermore don't forget about potential forex loss.
@Pua....Yeap, that why i will see if there will be any weakness and accumulate more. For me Tguan is a longer term investment which is 5 to 7 yrs and hence i can wait to buy on weakness.
@Pua, My holding for Tguan is for 5 yrs which is according their expansion roadmap. I'm not sure what is a good entry point but I have bought some when it was RM 1.80-2.00. Beginning last year I park my order at RM2.20 for long term (resubmit every 30 days) and on number of occasion i managed to get at that price. I still park at RM2.20 now.....
