Gas Malaysia is cyclical business, same like other oil stocks! Normally the market will not give high valuation on this sort of cyclical business. Once you in profits, must know how to cash out, else will get trap for long!
Go and look at the global market now… as well as your oil and gas price! All downtrend! Did I lie to you all? Out of good merits, I share this unselfishly!
Gas Malaysia Bhd recorded a third-quarter net profit of RM95.66 million, up 53.4% from RM62.36 million a year earlier, on higher gross profit, finance income and contributions from joint-venture companies.
Quarterly revenue increased 34.8% to RM1.86 billion from RM1.38 billion on higher average natural gas selling prices, in tandem with global market prices, mitigated by lower volume of natural gas sold during the quarter.
Checking in here again, top up again in last friday. waiting for the final dividend announcement. Hopefully there is 10sen in final dividend. this stock is so undervalue now
The high price of gas goes down very fast. Q2 MRP drops from 58 to 48. The following quarter will be 42. Coupled with lower volume of gas sold, the support for the price will quickly turn weak.
This year CAPEX over 200 mil. Initially thought the retained earning in 2022 will be paid out as dividend in 2023 but looks like those cash are to be spent for CAPEX. Safe and boring stock with some risk of going down 10% following the moving trend of the gas price.
Hahahahahaha this guy attaaack go spam every counter saying the same thing. the chart looks ugly, may drop to 2.87 dont bother chase the div, it will drop further once dividend out. LOL RUN.
Recent price up has trigger me to sell all my GASMSIA today at 3.60 with 22% capital gain, it took me a long consideration because this stock really stable with high dividend. been holding it for 2 years. My biggest capital gain in this year. Reason to sold, i found a better dividend stock with potentially capital gain too. GASMSIA is still a good stock to hold.
I got one question. Will USD affect the earnings of Gas Msia? If USD continue to fall against MYR, will this be better or worse for Gas Msia earnings? Anyone here can comment?
@mylo, hope this excerpt from an MIDF Research article 'RINGGIT GETTING SOME APPRECIATION' dated 01 Aug 2024 explains the affects of the strengthening of MYR on GASMSIA's earnings and profit:
The Downstream (Refining and Marketing) division will see a more positive impact. This is in consideration that refined products (Mogas, Diesel, Jet A1 and petrochemicals) sold domestically are priced in MYR, which is expected to remain stable. Imported crude oil, natural gas and other feedstocks would be cheaper, subsequently reduce the cost of goods sold and potentially increase margins. The lower input costs eventually translate to lower prices for consumers, hence potentially increasing demand for downstream oil and gas products across the board. In this division, we opine that Petronas Dagangan (BUY, TP:RM24.91) has the advantage due to lower import costs for crude oil which could add to higher volume and thus higher sales. Similarly, Gas Malaysia’s (BUY, TP:RM3.96) focus on local operations of gas sale and distribution would be stable under its MYR-denominated sales, in addition to lower equipment cost. However, we noted that exports priced in USD will yield lower revenue. Petronas Chemicals (NEUTRAL, TP:RM7.18) would likely see lesser volume sold, on top of the continuous supply-demand imbalance amid tough competition with China petrochemical manufacturers. Nevertheless, the significant cost reduction from imports of USD-denominated feedstock could significantly outweigh the revenue pressure and subsequently improve margins.
So I guess the strengthening of the MYR will increase the profit for Gas Msia. The next question will be can this appreciation of MYR continues or will we be back at old level like 1 USD = 4.7 MYR....haha
@mylo, it all boils down to political stability. Investors, be it local or foreign, loathe political turmoil. The current administration, in spite of it weaknesses, must have done something right for the first time in many years. The ringgit will be strong until the next election, at the very least.
