managing director Datuk Ang Poon Chuan also said the group was now exploring opportunities with a few Chinese plastic packaging materials manufacturers to set up joint-venture operations in the northern region.

“We are looking to invest about RM10mil for the joint-venture business, which is expected to generate an annual revenue of about RM40mil.

“The Chinese manufacturers are investing here because of the on-going trade war between China and the US.

“Chinese are also prompted to come over due to the stringent regulations of the Chinese government to regulate new and existing industrial product manufacturers,” he added.

maybe OTB is right. some hidden hand is pressing down the share price.

better sell ur stake if u lack the patience. haha

we should be looking at 1.50 at a minimum la

in terms of prospect, i prefer aeoncredit

in terms of valuation, rcecap is cheaper

tough decisions...

stay away from looking at share price on daily basis.

come back to lctitan every quarter to check on their performance

so many value investors here.

let's see who last longer to eventually enjoy "the day value in Insas emerges". lol

its better for them to do split to improve trading liquidity

i have both flbhd and favco. both stocks are cheap enough with limited downside risk.

i dont see anything wrong with your strategy of selecting stocks based on low EV/EBIDTA

perhaps you should give yourself more time, say 3-4 years instead of 1 year span for you to conclude the investment outcome. 1 year is too short.

Look at vegetablebird earlier posting.

sell la, walao eh, next quater report should be a red colour instead of a green colour.

you sure he is trying to help you?

or perhaps he's trying to get it cheap by selling you some story.

the moment he said he checked the quarter report and yet telling you there is no robust growth with lesser capex. that is one big red sign.

you will know it if you indeed checked the quarter report as he asked you to.


Cf81 But Vegetablebird is a nice person, trying to help you not lose money. That's his/her life goal. That's why Vegetablebird spends time here and posting and warnings. In this modern times, those traits are extinct. You gotta appreciate Vegetablebird.

@theContrarian

i'm no longer invested in Eksons. sold it at 80.5sen. free up cash to buy other stocks.

all the best to u, bro.

i think i want to set up a portfolio. 30% of capital on good quality companies. passive investing style. really LT holdings say min 10 years.

i would include Panamy in.

why are you so concerned about the share price?


Posted by RainT > Aug 10, 2018 05:03 PM | Report Abuse

Still.many naive buying Liihen

Waste time only

Getting dividend then ? But share price stuck cannot move

i wonder would ppl invest in companies if there is no share price quoted, say for the next 5 years.

my cost after adjusted for dividends is 2.855

yes, subjective. to me, paying 17x PE for Panamy is fair.


Posted by RainT > Aug 9, 2018 11:00 PM | Report Abuse

fair price ?

how much is the fair price? very subjective though

Insas only ikut Inari when Inari goes down.

When Inari goes up, Insas tak ikut. Lol

stocks like Panamy hard to get it cheap.

can only buy them at fair price.


Posted by paperplane > Aug 9, 2018 02:43 PM | Report Abuse

I only buy recently, haha.
39.2

Panamy looks very strong.

What's ur entry cost @paperplane?

Eksons slow and steady

Putrajaya is reviewing the operation model for tolls and expects the study to be
done by year end, according to the Works Minister Baru Bian. He said the review
will cover the operation model of future tolls including toll prices. As it is a big
concern to many people, we will try to expedite it. The toll issue is very clear, I
think we have made our stand that we are going to review, look at the whole
aspect of it, (including) the impact of it, to all the stakeholders," Baru told
reporters at the Parliament lobby today.

Noting that the abolishment of tolls is a "very sensitive" matter, Baru said the
ministry will make a final decision after it is clear on the implications.

"We also come to understand that the implication [of the toll abolishment] is
huge. If we abolish it all at one go, as the previous government said, it could
even cost us about RM400bn," he said. (The Edge Markets)

USA/China tariff war is getting Olh nervous. He has alot OskH shares pledged as collateral in his
personal loan from RHB. Pushing Oskh price higher would give him a higher Oskh floor that he can
used 10% OskH buyback option to support price.

in times like this, better to keep some cash. you just never know, with Trump tantrum big sale might come soon.

Anyone buying Trop today? :)

Few days ago LCTitan up by 9 sen. yesterday drop 3 sen. today down another 8 sen. All these day to day movement does not tell you anything on the company's fundamentals.

KNOW what your are buying. Know the story behind your investment decision and assess whether the story is intact by following the market developments affecting the business the company operates in, NOT the share price.

CIMB set the target price based on the company's prospects/fundamentals.

Today price declined probably driven by market sentiment.

Can you differentiate?

Drop so much what happen that Cimb some more put target pricdvso hjgh crazy lo

Based on CIMB's estimates

current plant capacity around 3368 ktpa
with PP3 commissioning in 3Q, that will add another 200 ktpa
estimated capacity for current FY is 3568

2019F
their LC USA (both ethane cracker and MEG plant) will add additional 640 ktpa

moving longer term to 2022
the integrated naphta complex in Indonesia will provide 1000 ktpa giving rise to 5,208 ktpa

the growth story of LCTitan is of longer term

perhaps OTB should recommend ekovest to KYY to invest in? hahaha

lol this is the best joke of the year.

their growth projects are of long term. probably will see the impact in 2019-2020 onwards

Icon, if you want to have exposure to IPP with a more trustworthy management with good track record. why dont u have a look at MFCB?

probably many got stucked. lost their patience and offload whenever opportunities come.

if you have longer term view, it's good to hold. the business is cyclical no doubt, need to monitor the performance very closely. but having said that, i believe the company will do much better in 2019-2020.

No buying interest....To support

my previous assumption was wrong. the stronger USD has in fact translated into a positive net effect to the company's earnings.

based on latest quarter, EBIDTA margin eased back to 20%. still not comprehensively above 20% as in previous quarters.

utilisation rate is pretty much the same around 82-83%. Board indicated that the operating rate should be around 85% overall.

what's happening to our Trop? @TheContrarian

Looking forward, the Board would like to revise the full year 2018 operating rate to about 85% due to profit optimization and general plant maintenance.


David, it is at your lower range ~85%

PP3 project to commence operation in Q3

then bad news for us.

TheContrarian Notice that Dato' Thong has been aggressively selling off his own direct interest in Inari. Perhaps he is raising cash to do a "Tony Tiah" on Insas.

be patient. earnings expansion should come in 2019-2020 onwards.

Leno valuation is correct. 3 ringgit

wasted time on this piece of rubbish

why the high profit? can share some details.

Up Up Up, high profit incoming

Trop sold their piece of land at Jalan Kia Peng back in 2013 for RM2,121 psf. Pocketing handsome profit of RM132mil.
