#speakup Bursa ni is a scam. Big loss company naik tapi profitable company turun. Sebab nilah FF semua lari dari bursa
21/11/2024 4:07 PM

The stock market can be quite unpredictable, and several factors can influence share prices beyond just the company's financial results. Here's a breakdown of why PCHEM's share price went up despite a big loss, and why Nvidia's share price went down despite great results:

PCHEM (Petronas Chemicals Group Bhd)
Sometimes, the market has already priced in the expected losses. If the actual results are better than the worst-case scenario that investors feared, the share price can go up.

Investors might be optimistic about the company's future prospects, such as potential recovery in the next quarters or favorable market conditions such as reversal of the forex loses due to Fed further cutting interest rates.

Nvidia
Nvidia's strong results might have already been anticipated by the market. If the results, despite being good, do not exceed the high expectations, the share price can drop.

Global AI chip giant $NVIDIA (NVDA.US)$released its FY25 Q3 results after the US market closed on November 20, significantly exceeding market expectations. The company's revenue for this quarter was $35.1 billion, up 92% year-over-year, surpassing the consensus estimate of $33.25 billion. Non-GAAP EPS was $0.81, up 103% year-over-year, exceeding the consensus estimate of $0.74.

The reason why so much focus was on NVIDIA's earnings is because they are a bellwether for understanding if the AI spending spree continues, or if it has begun to cool down. Obviously, one company can't speak for them all. But given their importance in the AI space, a look at their sales shows no slowdown in demand, and that the AI boom is still alive and well.

NVIDIA also raised their Q4 revenue outlook to $37.5 billion vs. the consensus for $37B. That would represent another 70% quarterly sales growth vs. last year. Very impressive.

In a nut shell, NVIDIA has now beaten earnings 19 out of the last 21 quarters

*Why the soft response after the report*?

Unlike PCHEM, let’s not forget that they are up 194% YTD. That's on top of last year's 239%. If you had jumped on that AI and semiconductor giant 5 years ago, you’d already be up over +3,000%. We'll see how they trade in the regular session. But it was another stellar quarter. And their position in the "age of AI" (quote attributed to CEO Jensen Huang), couldn't be better.

Yesterday's earnings actually got off to a rough start after Target posted a negative EPS surprise of -19.2%, and a negative sales surprise of -0.94%. Their cautious outlook didn't help matters, which saw the stock down by -22% in the regular session.

But also before the open, Williams-Sonoma posted a positive EPS surprise of 11.4%, and a positive sales surprise of 1.47%. They soared 27.5% in the regular session following their earnings.

Mabel is still holding it because she believe the ride isn’t over yet as AI is transforming every industry, company and country in the next 20 to 30 years. Enterprises are adopting agentic AI to revolutionize workflows. Industrial robotics investments are surging with breakthroughs in physical AI. And countries have awakened to the importance of developing their national AI and infrastructure.

Even our plantation is moving into AI...

https://www.thestar.com.my/news/nation/2024/11/20/ai-boost-for-palm-oil-production

The first palm oil mill in the world using artificial intelligence (AI) technology has been launched here in Malaysia.

With Malaysia’s standing as the world second largest producer of palm oil, the cutting edge smart technology is expected to reduce cost and enhance efficiency.

Plantation and Commodities Minister Datuk Seri Johari Abdul Ghani launched the adoption of the technology at Minsawi Industries Kuala Kangsar Sdn Bhd in partnership with technology provider Artificial Intelligence Robotics Engineering Industries (Airei Sdn Bhd).

Johari said the mill will be able to reduce workforce, especially foreign labour, between 30% and 35%. If all 446 palm oil mills in the country were to adopt this technology, he said foreign workers could be reduced by almost 8,000.

Shares of Petronas Chemicals have lost more than one-third of their value so far this year while the petrochemical industry grapples with thinning refining margins. The ringgit, meanwhile, appreciated sharply against the US dollar before easing in early October.

Petronas Chemicals’ foreign exchange loss alone in the July-Sept quarter totalled RM1.1 billion.

The consensus’ 12-month target price has also fallen nearly 13% to RM5.01 from three months ago, according to Bloomberg.

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.

PPC most likely lose making during demand downturn.

Below will make a lot of money during demand upturn:

We refer to our earlier announcement dated 28 November 2023 in relation to the validity period extension of the existing gas sales agreement (“Agreement”) between PETRONAS’ wholly owned subsidiary, PETRONAS Energy and Gas Trading Sdn. Bhd. (“PEGT”) and PCG’s wholly owned subsidiary, PETRONAS Chemicals Marketing (Labuan) Ltd. (“PCML”), for the supply of ethane and propane as feedstock for plant operations at PETRONAS Chemicals Olefins Sdn. Bhd. (“PC Olefins”).

PCG wishes to update that PEGT and PCML have mutually agreed for the price terms of the supply of ethane and propane to PC Olefins to remain as stipulated in the current Agreement, for a period of five (5) years beginning 1 January 2025.

This announcement is dated 20 November 2024.

RM 4.93 oledi....

PCHEM has smashed the 20 Moving Average yesterday, Today it continues to smash the 50 Moving Average with strong buying momentum..

To be honest, it's quite impressive! Despite all the noises from Investment Banks, breaking through both the 20-day and 50-day moving averages with strong buying momentum indicates a significant bullish trend for PCHEM. This kind of movement often reflects increased investor confidence and can signal further upward potential. It's definitely an exciting time for shareholders and those following the stock closely.

So keep an eye on the volume and any upcoming news that might continue to drive this momentum.

Price target decreased by 7.1% to RM5.27

Down from RM5.68, the current price target is an average from 18 analysts.

New target price is 9.2% above last closing price of RM4.83.

Stock is down 33% over the past year.

The company is forecast to post earnings per share of RM0.25 for next year compared to RM0.21 last year.

Petronas Chemicals Group Bhd's third-quarter performance was significantly impacted by foreign exchange losses, primarily from its 50:50 joint venture with Saudi Aramco, Pengerang Petrochemical Company (PPC). The weakening of the US dollar against the ringgit led to unrealised forex losses, resulting in a net loss of RM789 million, a stark contrast to the RM424 million net profit in the same period last year. Despite the loss, the group's revenue increased to RM7.99 billion, driven by better performance in its commodities segments, which saw higher plant utilisation and production volumes.

‌Looking ahead, Pchem is preparing for the commercial operations of its new petrochemical units at PPC by the end of the year. However, the start-up of these capital-intensive assets is expected to have a significant impact on earnings, including potential currency translation effects. The group is cautiously optimistic, as a rebound in the US dollar could lead to a partial reversal of the unrealised forex losses. Additionally, the company is facing challenges in its olefins and derivatives segments due to seasonal demand weaknesses, while the fertiliser and methanol sectors are stabilising. Pchem remains cautious about its specialties business amid ongoing macroeconomic uncertainties.

Total Net Short Position: 28,193,198


Looks like the total net short position has been decreasing over time, which indicates that some short sellers might be covering their positions. When short sellers cover their positions, they buy back the shares they initially sold short. This buying activity can potentially drive the share price up, especially if a large number of short positions are being covered.

Technical charts is looking good. 20 and 50 MA has already been breached. Let see if it can break the 100 MA next week...

Our current PM is useless, he was put in jail for so many years with a lie, and now domestic opportunists wanted to cheat him and PH with lies again.

I think Donald Trump would fire a bad deal maker. A bad deal maker who can't defend himself, let alone defending the country. PH is just a 1 term government. Next election I won't vote for them.

Support 2 at RM 4.63

Anyway, Mabel starts to re-enter PCHEM after it breaches both support level at RM 4.53 conservatively as the QR is expected to be announced on the 28th November.

With PCHEM EPS of MYR 0.25 (as per the latest data) and the PE ratio of 19.02:

PCHEM Fair Value Price = 0.25 ×19.02 = RM 4.76

This means that Mabel has collected at a good price given today’s closing prices is MYR 4.55 which is slightly under the above fair value...

For retired uncles who missed the bus to Genting Highland, please think twice before you jump into this shark's pond to join the crab party as the top 20% of the biggest shareholders own 80% of the shares, making this company top-heavy with many fund managers trapped at high prices with more crab sellers than buyers.

The global market for polythene is similar to the steel industry, which collapsed in the blink of an eye. Local weak steel players like Perwaja or Lion could not compete with Chinese conglomerates and South Korean chaebols as they flooded the market and crashed the price.

PCHEM is the same as Taiwan's Formosa Chemical (台塑), founded by Taiwan's richest man, Wang Yung-ching (台湾经营之神王永庆), whose share price also crashed due to global competition and environmental issues:
