KRONO is an enterprise data management (EDM) player. According to the latest quarterly report, KRONO management believes that first 6 months of FY2020 will likely be a temporary business disruption. Due to the New Normal, they are seeing positive trends in the data management, which will benefit KRONO.
KRONO dropped to its 1-month low last week. Similar to most stocks, it rebounded from its technical support of consolidation channel on last Friday, with a surge of buying volume.
Based on 1-month history, KRONO may rebound to a price range of 65-70 sen with some profit-taking activities in between - as happened 2 times before in the past 1 month. 55 sen has been a strong technical support since July.

Krono cloud biz is very small in comparing with its total revenue. Still hardware servers sales derive main revenue. No good prospects because cloud biz is not main focus sector. I only interested in companies doing cloud storage and computing
One of the most undervalued IT in the Cloud industry. It has consistent recurring income and good business model, especially in today's pandemic environment. No idea why price remained depressed when management explicitly mentioned business will recover in the next coming quarters.
Probably that's how share market works. Price is not efficient and people have not noticed.
@John1218, I m eyeing on Snowflake (SNOW), New York Stock Exchange. Snowflake is purely doing cloud storage + cloud computing.
I noticed that Krono boss is very cunning. If Krono what to buy its subsidiary companies, what he did was to issue private placement. This type of funding seriously dilute the existing shareholders' shareholding.
Krono business less than 10% in Malaysia. This stock don't care about Malaysia politik. Hear most of their business in region back to normal... Growth stock again!
cloud business in general has always been negative in profit, even alibaba and snowflake been losing money alot and if not wrong alibaba recently had a positive net profit after long long time. Hybrid cloud had always been the more popular choice than private and public cloud. So, hardware sales is definitely needed to support hybrid.
One of the factor that affect krono last quarter low profit margin (not considering asset impairment) was krono were trying to help their existing customer weathering through the covid crisis, trade war and politic being the most serious during 2020Q1 & 2021 Q1.
There is growing demand for cloud computing as Work from home is the norm, big player such as Microsoft and Amazon had been getting huge surge in profit in their latest report.
I would say Covid-19 is a double edge sword for Krono due to Krono focus on the mid and lower tier market such as SME and SME been getting a whole lot of impact by the virus and force to shut down. However, this also bring new opportunity to for krono to expand their customer base.
There would be another acquisition i believe in the future in either Malaysia, Philippines or India Market as the company recently clear some of their debt and now they have more margin for debt to fund their future acquisition along with private placement (of course this is a speculation by me since im holding their shares and i do hope they buy up some good company la)
FYI, the director salary in comparison with other directors in similar sector is comparably lower. 30/10/2020 9:58 PM
I agree with you @issajoke. Hybrids and own data servers hardwares are best solution as what Krono offers. Even future of Big Data, AI, connectivity, even 5G, all are required this kind of support. In future, for sure even big corporation would fully change their new norm from file & papers to electronics data.
I think Krono's new marketing strategy AAS (pay-as-a-service) service system will lure long term subscriber like what all telco & communication system use.. This I think for sure will provide long term sustainabilty for Krono's revenue.
Whatever result this quarter, the future is still bright. Those panic selling for sure will be others who take opportunity.
Issajoke and syahmis make good points. In today's WFH world more businesses will use services of Krono. Also Krono not dependent on Malaysia and government contracts for revenue. Great time to buy buy buy!
Self syok. You talk you happy. Why don’t you say google is their customer ? If so great, you wouldn’t share out and all in long time back. Come one la, don’t try to give false hope.
This stock gonna have more room to drop. No 30 cents no talk.
@Gooshen dont be so offended, everybody gt their POV, u think this stock bad then u ma dont buy lo, no nid waste time come and causing bad influence to others ma
Issajoke, you are right that SME are hurting but those that survive are looking to cut fixed costs more so the as a service will be more attractive as they can decided how much to subscribe for - more flexibility. Also, we need to understand that Krono business is across Asia so some countries are recovery faster than others
KUALA LUMPUR: Kronologi Asia Bhd has secured a contract for exabyte-size cloud hyperscale supply and managed services with a web and artificial intelligence provider in China.
Executive director and group CEO Edmond Tay said the implementation involves China's largest cloud hyperscale infrastructure for cloud-based data archive, long-term data preservation and retention services.
"It is in tandem with the Group’s strategic initiatives for its 'As-a-Service' consumption and subscription-based model to progressively invest in infrastructure for future growth in the new normal world and will certainly help grow near-term opportunities for us in the Greater China area,” he added.
Kronologi was down 1.5 sen or 2.9% to 50 sen a share at midday on the back of 1.9 million shares exchanging hands.
