THIS STEEL STOCK IS POISED TO SURGE FURTHER !!!

Hello to all readers out there. Recently, a lot of steel stocks surged worldwide due to the rise in steel commodity prices, on the back of economic recovery caused by COVID19 vaccine progress.

Having said the above, the stock which I'd like to talk about today is K SENG SENG CORPORATION BERHAD (KSSC - Stock Code 5192, Main Market, Industrial Products & Services)

BASIC INFORMATION ABOUT KSSC

KSSC was founded in 1985 and listed on BSKL in 2009, with core business in:

i) Manufacturing of Stainless Steel Products

ii) Trading of Stainless Steel Products

Market Capitalization : RM 60 (as at writing)

Shares Float : 96 million

1. A SUPERB QUARTER RESULT WHEN OTHERS DOING BADLY !!!

Refer below latest quarter result in Nov 2020. While others are doing bad, KSSC had posted a 3 YEARS HIGH REVENUE & NET PROFIT !!!

Revenue was RM 31.3 mil with net profit of RM 1.7 mil (EPS 1.83c).

With such a good result posted (not even as the steel prices go up), I opine that following quarters should also be performing similar/better.

Taking an estimate of 10-12c EPS per year, the long term target based on 10-12 PE ratio is around RM 1.00 - 1.40.

Also, we note that the NTA also stood strong at 81c per share.

2. SUPER LOW FLOAT IN THE MARKET AS DIRECTORS HOLDING

55.69% OF TOTAL SHARES !!!

The total float shares of KSSC stood at 96 mil units. As of the latest annual shareholding report, top 2 directors hold total of 55.69% of total float.

This leaves a public float of about 42.5 million shares, which is very small for the grabbing.

As there were no sellings by major shareholders sighted in the recent term, I opine that the path upwards for KSSC will be met with very little resistance.

3. HEALTHY NET ASSETS OVER LIABILITIES !!!

Below the Assets Versus Liabilities summary as of latest QR. We note the following:

i) Total Assets stood at RM 133.7 mil (81c per share)

ii) Total Liabilities stood at RM 54.3 mil

iii) Hence the company is a net asset company as Assets exceed Liabilities by RM 79.4 mil

iv) Also to be noted, net cash in bank improved to RM 12.3 mil from last year RM 8.6 mil
