The potential benefit of a cable manufacturing company from a data center project depends on various factors, and it’s important to consider the specific context and details of the project. Here are some points to consider:
1. Cabling Infrastructure Demand: • Data centers typically require extensive cabling infrastructure for networking, power distribution, and communication. A cable manufacturing company that produces high-quality and specialized cables may see increased demand for its products. 2. Project Size and Scope: • The size and scope of the data center project matter. Larger data centers with more complex requirements may present more opportunities for cable manufacturers. 3. Technological Advancements: • As data centers evolve and incorporate new technologies, the demand for advanced and specialized cables may increase. For example, fiber optic cables might be in demand for high-speed data transmission. 4. Quality and Standards: • Data centers often have strict quality and performance standards for their cabling infrastructure. A cable manufacturing company that meets or exceeds these standards may be more likely to benefit from such projects. 5. Competitive Landscape: • The competitiveness of the cable manufacturing industry plays a role. Companies that can provide cost-effective and reliable solutions may have a competitive advantage.
Southern Cable's prospects are supported by the growing demand for cables and wires in Malaysia, in line with ongoing development and infrastructure projects.
As at 30 September 2023, the Group’s orders in hand amounted to RM893.2 million, and are expected to be fulfilled by 2026. These orders include the supply of underground cables and conductors to Tenaga Nasional Berhad and Sarawak Energy Berhad, the supply of rectifier and battery systems to Telekom Malaysia Berhad, as well as purchase orders from EPCC (Engineering Procurement Construction Commissioning) contractors, resellers, and others.
Notably, the Group’s annual cable and wire production capacity has increased by 21% to 40,780 km from 33,780 km in the previous financial year ended 31 December 2022 due to installation of new machinery, enabling the Group to deliver more orders and enhance its revenue.
Meanwhile, Southern Cable is aiming to capitalise on the growing demand for power cables and wires from Malaysia’s National Energy Transition Roadmap (NETR) objectives.
On 27 July 2023, the Ministry of Economy of Malaysia unveiled 10 flagship projects under Phase 1 of the NETR, encompassing solar farms, hydrogen energy, and others, with anticipated investments of RM25 billion. A projected total investment of between RM435 billion to RM1.85 trillion until 2050 will be required to enable Malaysia to achieve its target of 70% Renewal Energy (RE) capacity mix, which involves investment in RE generation sources, strengthening of grid infrastructure including transmission lines enhancement, and energy storage systems, among others.
To this end, Southern Cable has supplied a wide range of power cables and wires used in power transmission and distribution networks, including TÜV SÜD certified solar photovoltaic cables. These products have been used by EPCC solar players in projects such as Large Scale Solar, positioning the Group favourably to tap into the renewable energy market.
Barring unforeseen circumstances, Southern Cable’s outlook remains positive for the financial year ending 31 December 2023.
In addition to the above, they're re-investing locally made profits into kick starting their business in the USA. A highly cash rich country, if they can make inroads there then the profits will come. SCG are going places.
1. In the past, the shareholders of SCG were mainly unknown consisting of Ah kow, Ahmad and Samy without any hedge funds, financial institutions or high net worth individuals. 2.Dato has finally come to his sense and realize that he alone cannot do much and for the share price to move he needs the help of someone with deep pockets. The company must improve the quality of its shareholders with high profile anchor investor/s and much better from the institutions.
2. The most significant corporate development in SGC over the past weeks had been the disposal of 38m shares on 17/11/23 and 25m shares on 24/11/23 by Segamat Handal Sdn Bhd in the off-market transactions.
3. While we do not know the name of the new investors , they certainly created great confidence and generated enormous interest in the counter. SCG is heated up with volume and persistent rise in share price. This time it is real.
4. SCG is a key player and leader in the cable manufacturing business. A lot has been said and discussed in my previous posting and i shall not repeat it again here.
5 SCG is a long term fundamental value investing stock. Allow it some time to realize and maximize its full potential. We intend to stay invested
6. Someday your endurance and perseverance will be handsomely rewarded. Happy trading 21/12/23
1.SCG has a spectacular rise from 28.5sen in June 2023 to hit an intra day high of 43.5sen in the end of December. In the 6 months period, the counter has soared remarkably more than fifty two percent. (43.5 - 28.5)/28.5 = 52.6%
2 , The company has 800m issued capital.For the 9M ending Sept it has generated 746m in revenue and 17.01m in profit. The accumulated earning per share EPS for the 9M is 2.13sen.
3.For the sake of analysis, let us simply annualized the EPS with this formula. Hence, the year end EPS is (2.13/3) x 4 is 2.87sen
4. The current bursa market PE consisting of the 30 largest companies by market cap is 13.5x. Therefore, if we assign the bursa PE multiple for SCG, than the year end share price of SCG should be 13.5x2.87 is 39sen.
5. SCG closed at 41.5sen today. At this price it is deem fully valued.
6 This is my short term and personal perception of the counter. It is not a recommendation to buy or sell but is intended as a sharing by providing an alternate view. It may or may not reflect the actual situation of the company.
With all the constructions, solar power, EVs and communication needs, just feel that Southern just have to keep going north! I'm just holding tight to my southern almost since beginning!!
Mtec IR people are in a different league. They held analysts briefing. Their CEO did a podcast with BFM radio. They even got RHB to do a webinar for the public.
Hi, just managed to take a very quick look at a youtube comment on Master Tec. I heard it says it uses more aluminum, while Southern uses more copper...Is this right? Did a quick check on aluminium vs copper: From Bing.com: "..... Aluminum conductor wire is one common type of wiring. Let’s explore some of the disadvantages of using aluminum cables:
Larger Size: Aluminum conductors are generally larger than comparable copper conductors. This means that larger raceways are required, which can add to installation costs. Risk of Corrosion: While aluminum is resistant to corrosion, it is not completely immune. Over time, aluminum cables can still corrode, especially if not installed with care and diligence. Expansion and Contraction: Aluminum experiences greater expansion and contraction cycles compared to copper. These cycles can loosen connections over time, potentially leading to electrical issues. Lower Strength: Aluminum cables have lower tensile strength compared to copper cables. This can impact their durability and longevity. Potential Fire Risk: If not properly installed, aluminum wiring can pose a fire risk. Connections must be made carefully to prevent overheating and potential hazards. Despite these disadvantages, aluminum cables do have their advantages, such as being lightweight, easy to install, and efficient for power transmission. They can also withstand high temperatures without melting or burning. However, proper installation and maintenance are crucial to mitigate the risks associated with aluminum conductors
Hope Trade808 can revisit his posting of 28/12/2023. Since then it has gone from 41.5 to 47.5 or 6/41.5=14.5%. Looks like crossing 50 is not so far ahead..... Have been holding for few years!
Wonder why so many sellers at 0.485 and 0.49. Do they think that the company is not as profitable as Mtec or they just want to suppress the price and quietly collecting themselves.
Operationally, the management has been absolutely brilliant. Their track record is second to none. On every valuation metrics, its market cap should have been way ahead of its peer, not behind it.
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....
