I cant help notice a lot of exuberance over KESM here, yet it was the first big loser at the opening bell this morning, losing RM1/- over it's closing price. Why the sudden panic? Contra players or worst to come from the DOW?
Renesas Electronics Reports Full Year 2017 Financial Results Significant Increase in Full Year Sales Year-On-Year Driven by Growth Mainly in Automotive and Industrial Businesses and Integration of Intersil.
February 09, 2018 01:45 AM Eastern Standard Time TOKYO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Renesas Electronics Corporation (TSE:6723, “Renesas”), a premier supplier of advanced semiconductor solutions, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2017 (October 1, 2017 to December 31, 2017) and financial results for the year ended December 31, 2017 (January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2017).
KESM is a very small cap stock with limited shares in circulation, by now most are in tight institutional hands with limited 'free-float'. All that is needed is for the Company to report a further improvement in the forthcoming quarterly report, hoping to be followed with bonus/cum share split.
Today's buying looks promising. In share investment/trading, anything is possible. KESM is not for contra players but for the 'faithful'. Cheers!
The world’s largest independent burn-in and test service company KESM does not make chips but has shipped about a billion burn-in and test devices to its customers — semiconductor companies. Although it does not directly export products, KESM is a company to watch as it supports and sells to exporters and works closely with top semiconductor firms. Its aggressive capital expenditure into the automotive burn-in and test business could rake in returns from the growth of autonomous and smarter vehicles.
