LC titan not so positive market outlook. Look at Petronas chemical with parent company { Petronas} backing them up. has forecast a gloomy outlook for the industry coming 1-2years. LCtitan with heavy financing & borrowing costs of 11 billion would faced much more hurdles. Even selling off their Indonesia factory would not mitigate current dire situation. Without any injection or new capital pump in. Strong possibility of ending up like rumors of LC titan in Korea having a moratorium short of disposing assets {fire sale of assets} not a good time for the industry
Doesn't look good. LCtitan need some positive news flow. Alot of bad news forth coming. Head office LOTTE CHEMICAL facing negative cash crunch doesn't bode well. Market outlook looks depress with high inventories with muted demand. Demand on raw methanol, polyolefins and mono ethylene glycols equally bad
No right issues at the moment. But if co persists to incur losses, then most probably Co needs to inject more funds because banks may reluctant to lend money to downtrend biz
Similar to POS , ASTRO and many more ... when you thought below RM1 is "cheap"... then 0.80 ... then 0.50... then 0.30.... then 0.20 .... Complete disbelief
Officially, the name of LCTITAN will change to TITANIC because it sank like the Titanic. Even though now changed the CEO, the situation will remain the same. MAKING LOST LOST LOST every quarter.
LCTITAN NTA is still RM4.XX. Assume if Petronas bought it at 60% discount below book value, that would be RM2.00. For Korean Lotte cut loss at 60% losses (better than current unrealised loss of 80-90%), and they can get back their money to solve their parent company. Minority investor who invest below RM1.00, are happy to accept this offer at 100% gain. Petronas also happy to acquired an asset at 60% discount, and it can help petronas to expand its business empire.
Pchem has an upcoming bigger plant in PPC that going to drag down its profit. So do you think Pchem has a stomach for another similar plant?
Maybank Investment Bank, which now has the second-lowest target price for the stock at RM3.82, flagged that the inclusion of losses from its Pengerang Petrochemical Company Sdn Bhd (PPC) would lead to a profit contraction for Petronas Chemicals in 2025 even as overall product spreads improve.
Petronas with key turn around plans for their Chemical & petrol manufactoring plant division has no appetite to acquired a sick elephant with high indebtness. LCtitan owns betw 7-8 billion in loans with only 400 million in their bank reserve. Technically they are in default and need additional funding to keep their local operations {which LG Korea} is having an cash flow crisis. This is the main reason they are shutting down their plants to buy time. Not a good sign once a factory operation's mothball it needs a long period to time to reconvene. Really frightened whether LC titan turns into a force fire sale where the banks just sell anything of value to cover their books.
