the quarter report already stated the strengthening of RM will impact the results *substantially*.. I'm actually quite impressed with the management style of being so upfront to the shareholders.. in short term, it won't be that good, knowing that the latest QR reflects the results up to Sep'17 only (when USD was around 4.2 - 4.3), and since then the USD is hovering at 4.08-4.2, up to a 5% diff.
9MYTD EPS improved by 7% only, so how much will this 5% weakening of USD impacts the bottom line, knowing that the underlying RM transactions only make up 10-12% of their total revenue? Another 1 month to end the FY17, hope for the best... :)
RM can move to 4? or 4.2 yet to know...i see weakening soon when the election is announced..political stability always weaken local currency, isn't it?..6 months horizon.....
really don't understand why RM is strengthening.....because of donation? or economy really improved?....lol....i also stuck in this counter...wtf...just hold what to do....not only liihen is dropping....other counters also dropping....look at the overall market
If demand for their products is good it is possible for management to raise prices....which is nothing unusual these days...this should compensate for the weakening UD dollar vis a vis the Ringgit. And if the Ringgit weakens again later the prices which was raised earlier will usually remain....once the price goes up never down again...understand people....applies to goods of course.
ringgit will go up and down. stronger ringgit means weak holders and shortsighted people like apolloang will sell off, giving a perfect chance to collect.
longer foresignt price may retest new high..a matter of time.. not this month..next 6 months...4.36....3.71.....65 cents gap..u calculate the return yourself..no need to mention TP RM 5+
Ringgit strengthens due to Najib borrowing billions USD and change to MYR to give out election money. Same like previous election, after election you need to pay back USD then ringgit will drop again. Repeat of 1MDB?
@RainT, I notice too. The quarterly result was excellent . Furthermore dividend yield still promising. Another few days more is ex-date. Somehow mr market still don't buy in.
No only export will drop but real estate will also crash if Ringgit continues to strengthen. Reason it didnt crash few years ago was becoz RM was devalued soanu asses were saved.
The weakening of the ringgit has improved exports and outlook, BN new ruling mandates at least 75% of all export proceeds to convert to ringgit instead of keeping USD either onshore or offshore for payment of imported goods, equipment and repay foreign currency loans. These drive demand for ringgit is driving its appreciation against the USD.
It has reduced 70% of the offshore trading of the USD-Ringgit forex market and ensure orderly trading of USD-Ringgit in domestic market.
Steady recovery of crude oil price also improved Govt. fiscal deficit position. A stable China with steady economy also facilitate foreign fund inflow into Malaysia through its OBOR initiative.
With strengthening of ringgit in sight, exporters will naturally sell forward their future USD earnings and these actions also drive demand for ringgit.
Ringgit strength may reverse if; 1> Export growth taper off, watch out for trade surplus figure. 2>The timing of US Fed interest rate hike and tightening of its balance sheet, and 3> Large redemption of MGS between now and next year.
Fire in Los Angeles again...thousands lost their beloved homes and belongings Just received news from a friend in LA.... Thanks again to all and more of you who have come out to show your expression of care, concern and regards. It’s very touching to read your individual notes. Let me give all of you an update on the latest news report. As of now 90,000 acres have been burnt. Fire have spread through several cities with 120,000 people evacuated and only 5% of the fire is contained. Wind is not forecast to die down for 2 more days. As such, the fire will rage on unabated
I think one very important aspect Liihen board of directors should explore is overseas markets other than just the US market. Exporting can be a very good growth business because the whole world is the market. Can anyone here help get this message to the board?
Everyone knows the earth is the market, please get some dealers contact or ready channel before talk to the board. BOD not sitting there having massage and meeting only, they work too to meet their personal dividend income target.

No unknown incidents. Mainly due to fire incident and ringgit strengthening.
