CAB @ 1.08 TP 1.29 by Kenanga
CAB-WA @ 0.71
The earnings growth is to be driven by:
(i) the new acquisition of Singapore-based Tong Huat Poultry Processing Factory Pte Ltd, and
(ii) expansion of existing farms in Juru, Penang and Padang Meha, Kedah.
As such, its monthly capacity is set to reach 5m birds by this year-end from 3.6m birds currently.

In addition, CAB has been acquiring parcels of lands mainly in Mainland Penang more than 20 years ago with the purpose for farming expansion. However, these lands are no longer suitable for farming activities as there are close to housing estates, which may cause environment issue. As such, there is potential of value unlocking for these landbank in the future, either by sale of land or property development via JV.

@MainBesar

I believe KLCI will track RM movement this week. If RM weakness continue will prompt more hedging hence can be critical to the market in short term.

Looking at the current trend and coming events like Fed interest rate hike, 1MDB issue & crude oil prices are 3 main factors that trigger the direction of the market.

Ringgit drops to six-year low as Fed stance to cut bond appeal

The ringgit fell to a six-year low as investors brace for an increase in U.S. interest rates that will diminish the appeal of Malaysia’s higher bond yields.

The extra yield investors demand to hold Malaysia’s dollar notes due in 2016 over similar-maturity Treasuries rose to the widest in 20 months Monday as local bond rates climbed. A U.S. report Friday showing the jobless rate dropped to the lowest in almost seven years prompted funds to raise bets for tightening by the Federal Reserve as soon as June, while Malaysia has kept borrowing costs on hold since July as oil prices plunged.

“The hiking of Fed interest rates has a clear impact on emerging markets,” said Nizam Idris, Singapore-based head of foreign-exchange and fixed-income strategy at Macquarie Bank Ltd. “As the Fed hikes rates,” the attraction of Malaysia’s yields will decrease, he said.

The ringgit declined 0.4 percent to 3.6930 a dollar as of 10:22 a.m. in Kuala Lumpur and earlier fell to 3.6945, the lowest since March 2009, data compiled by Bloomberg show. The currency has lost 1.8 percent in the past five days.

TPC @ 0.47 - "Eggs That Slips Investors Radar"

Net profit margin @ 5.7%, slightly lower than QL of 6.5% but better than CAB, PW, Lay Hong & Huat Lai.

TPC was incorporated in 1978 and its principal activity is poultry farming, its main produce being table eggs. The company is one of the pioneer egg producers and currently is a medium-sized supplier of table eggs in West Malaysia.

TPC uses modern semi-automated equipment as well as the state-of-the-art technology in its production facilities. A combination of effective and comprehensive vaccination of pullets coupled with appropriate structural and operational biosecurity offers its eggs a high level of assurance against contamination from food-borne pathogens.

To date, TPC has successfully built a niche in the market for its popular brand of Premium Lower Cholesterol eggs - the “TPC Lower Cholesterol Eggs”. TPC also produce and market other nutritional-enriched eggs namely “TPC Omega Eggs”, “TPC Organic Selenium Eggs”, “TPC Golden Corn Eggs” and “TPC Farm Fresh Eggs” to cater for the needs of the increasingly health conscious Malaysian consumers.

For institutional customers, TPC has introduced a premium product known as WASACO (“washed-sanitized-coated”) eggs. Scientific research showed that washing, sanitizing and coating of shell eggs with food grade wax aid in reducing the bacterial load on the eggshells and the procedure can help to prevent food contamination and illnesses in human. The eggs also have longer shelf life. TPC prides itself on being the first HACCP-certified egg washing operation in the country.

TPC eggs are being sold across Peninsular Malaysia at retail and wholesale egg dealers and directly to customers such as major hypermarket and supermarkets chain, hotels, cake and confectionery houses, fast food chains and others.

Note : TPC is a PN17 company & under regularisation plan.

Chinese Factory Data Shows Weakest Start in Six Years

(Bloomberg) -- China’s economy is already behind target as monetary easing shows few signs of traction.

Industrial output, investment and retail sales growth missed analysts’ estimates in January and February, suggesting more stimulus is needed to boost the world’s second-largest economy. Bloomberg’s gross domestic product tracker, which draws on that data as well as measures such as electricity production, shows economic growth slowing to 6.28 percent in the period, the weakest pace since the start of 2009.

Malaysia’s external debt tripled to RM740 million last year

Malaysia's external debts grew by more than three-fold in less than a year, from RM196 billion at the end of 2013 to a whopping RM740.7 billion in the third quarter of last year.

In a written reply to William Leong (PKR - Selayang), Finance Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak attributed the spike to "new definitions" for external debts in 2014.

Almost two-thirds of the increase was due to foreigners holding on to Malaysian bonds, now considered as part of the external debts.

Leong warned that this is the scenario currently taking place with debt-laden 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) where a huge chunk of its RM42 billion debt is allegedly being held by foreigners. http://www.themalaysianinsider.com/malaysia/article/malaysias-external-debt-tripled-to-rm740-million-last-year

Flashback - Pentamaster

Financial Report For Quarter Ended 31 December 2014 announced on
16 February 2015

Review of Performance :

The Group recorded higher revenue at RM22.3 million in the current quarter as compared to RM16.7 million registered in the corresponding quarter last year. The higher revenue recorded was due to increase in sales orders from both the automated equipment segment as well as the automated manufacturing solution operating segment as a result of higher demand from the semiconductor sector. Consequently, the Group recorded a higher profit before tax of RM3.1 million in the current quarter as compared to the profit before tax of RM1.1 million in the previous corresponding quarter mainly due to the increase in sales and better product mix in this reporting quarter.

Performance of the respective operating segments for the current quarter as compared to the previous corresponding quarter is analysed as follows:-
1) Automated equipment The increase in revenue by RM2.4 million (23.7%) to RM12.3 million as compared to the previous corresponding quarter was mainly contributed by higher demand for automated equipment from semiconductor market. With the increase in revenue and better product mix with higher margin achieved, this segment recorded a higher profit before tax of RM2.4 million in the current quarter as compared to the profit before tax of RM1.0 million in the previous corresponding quarter.
2) Automated manufacturing solution Revenue from this segment was RM3.2 million (48.0%) higher than the previous corresponding quarter mainly due to higher demand for the integrated manufacturing solution from customers in the current quarter. As a result, this segment recorded a higher profit before tax of RM1.1 million in the current quarter as compared to the profit before tax of RM0.3 million in the previous corresponding quarter

Current Year Prospect :

We expect better revenue contribution in year 2015 stemming from the area of growth and opportunities for automation equipment from semiconductor industry, glove industry, food industry, wireless segment and robotic application related projects. We are aware that many companies are moving towards machine automation in light of the human capital challenge currently faced. Machine automation will reduce reliance on human capital while increase manufacturing effectiveness and productivity. With demand for leading-edge automation and information technology solution, demand for our automated equipment and automated manufacturing solution is expected to remain positive. We will continue to strengthen the market position and expand the customer base. The management is cautiously optimistic on the growth prospect of the company for the year 2015.
