Steel companies are cyclical and if you are a long-term fundamental investor, you should look at the performance over the cycle. Over the past 14 years (covering several steel cycles), the company ROA averaged 4%. This is even lower returns than the EPF. But you have to look at the sector.

This is one of the steel rolling mills in Malaysia. But when you compare its long-term performance with the likes of CSC Steel or even Myrcon, it would not be on the top of the list. This was based on my analysis of the Bursa steel reported in my blog under "A tough 12 years for Bursa Malaysia steel companies"

So why did Tropicana stock price moved over the past couple of months when the other companies did not have the same amount of increase? Surely it cannot be due to the performance alone.
