Crude oil futures jumped 1.89 percent to Rs 3,768 per barrel on February 19 due to short covering on the last day of February series. This was visible from the open interest and build-up of long position in March futures.
Report of OPEC+ meeting taking place as per schedule also played a part.
According to Abhishek Bansal, CMD, Abans Group of Companies, US crude oil prices are expected to remain higher this week due to a reduction in supply from Libya and OPEC's talk to deepen output cut in their upcoming meeting at Vienna on March 6th. The economic impact of the coronavirus outbreak is likely to reduce demand for energy and keep a lid on prices.

In the futures market, crude oil touched an intraday high of Rs 3,765 and an intraday low of Rs 3,710 per barrel on MCX. For the February series, the crude touched a low of Rs 3,531 and a high of Rs 4,663.
1) Significant improvement in Kraken operating efficiency at 90+% in 4Q. (per Enquest announcement) 2) Full recognization of RM18m/quarter maintenance cost savings of Perdana sale at the end of 3Q
I would expect core net profit to be >RM90m in 4Q, at least 20% growth over 3Q. Your money, your call. Goodluck.
Assuming a conservative RM90m net profit per quarter = RM360m net profit annually.
Although P/E is not the best metric to value this stock due to different leverage levels for different O&G companies (EV/EBITDA and P/B would be better), for illustration's sake:
At a conservative 10x P/E, we're looking at a market cap of around RM3.6bn = 60cents TP
At a even more conservative 8x P/E, we're looking at a market cap of around RM2.9bn = 50 cents TP
Current market cap of RM2.3bn, or around 40 cents, is valuing the stock at around 6x P/E.
6x P/E for a RM2-2.5billion annual revenue company is truly dirt cheap.
I'm not really into micro prediction of whether it's going to be 0.38 or 0.39 or 0.40 or 0.41 or 0.42, these can fluctuate due to many different reasons - pump and dump, trash and cash, short selling, margin call, contra force sell, profit taking, value investing etc. It's pure gamble at these tight ranges. Get it right = pure luck. Get it wrong = bad luck. But what is clear - there are no fundamentals or skills involved in these small volatilities. It's just pure luck.
A more interesting movement over the next couple months would be 0.30, 0.40, 0.50, 0.60, 0.70 - that would be much more meaningful and reflects the true shift of market sentiment and market acceptance of Bumi Armada's change in fundamentals.
not hard to see it through. EPF will gain its substantial shareholder's position at right timing and price. still in accumulation phase.. hold it, at Q4, the price will move but will not reach the first tp of 0.60... big boss also needs more shares at current level.
Coronavirus is starting to be contained in China. New cases of only around 350 today, compared to around 1,700 day before. The infection curve is starting to flatten and reach a plateau.
Recommend strong buy on the basis of:
1) Subsiding coronavirus fears 2) Rebounding oil price 3) Stronger Q4 results with net profit >RM90m 4) Price has been hammered down and still trading at a compelling discount and valuation now 5) Government is announcing a stimulus package soon to boost the economy - this would lead to hot money inflow into bursa.
Kraken operating at 90+% throughout 2H2019 as announced by Enquest not yet priced in - hence the severe undervaluation now.
Recall earlier that Armada was trading at around 0.65 before the Kraken amendment agreement was announced causing it to free fall to 0.15.
Now that Kraken’s problems are solved and performing optimally even in 4Q when the weather is supposedly harshest, 2020 full year performance will definitely be better.
I think we will see a write back of Kraken in 2020. 4Q 2019 is probably still too early as the management team and auditors would want to be conservative (eg show 4-6 quarters good Kraken uptime before writing back).
In any case, the share price really shouldn’t be below 0.65 with Kraken performing optimally.
Thereafter in 2020, I think we can expect Armada’s core net profit to be stable around RM350-400m.
If anyone here has the patience to hold 3-4 years the debt will be half of where it is today, and equity value will probably be at 5-8 billion, translating to a price of around RM1-1.5.
Wah Seong reported revenue drop from 706mil to 429mil and profit plunged further from -9.9mil to -30mil yoy losses. Not a word about the losses but focused on, apparently results beats estimates? Kenanga, MIDF, Public bank.
This book is the result of the author's many years of experience and observation throughout his 26 years in the stockbroking industry. It was written for general public to learn to invest based on facts and not on fantasies or hearsay....
