LSS4 projects to get four-year PPA extension

It's good to see the company start issuing more press release to the investment community. It will help raise the profile of the company

Jaks management must quickly take actions to dispose of its property investment arms even at a loss to stop its bleedings, and use the proceeds to exercise its call options to buy the additional 10% stake in JHDP which can boost its annual net profit contribution to close to RM200m per annum.

Current market capitalization is RM613m only. Its net profit is projected to increase from RM51.9m in 2021 to RM113m in 2022. Unfortunately the share price has been dropping with no support at all, similar to many other listed companies in this bearish Bursa market.......

MFCB also moved since last month

The low hanging fruits for Jaks are buying the additional 10% in the Vietnam power plant and disposing of the malls immediately.

Won't be surprised to see its share price shoot up drastically if it does these two simultaneously as it will become a pure power & profit generating company.

Like it or not, the stock market nowadays has become very unpredictable and not understandable anymore. When a company reports good profits, it does not guarantee the SP will move up. Similarly, the SP may not go down much when the company reports losses.

Just look at some of the steel companies, they are reporting very decent profits but their SPs could be trading at very low PE of < 5 or even 2 like the Prestar.

NAPS = RM2.66 vs share price @ RM0.60

The market could be waiting to be surprised by the massive contribution to be derived from the revival of Megasteel which will be the biggest steel player in Malaysia.

Steel rebar futures fell to CNY 4,800 per tonne from a 16-week high of almost CNY 5,000 hit on February 11th, as demand from construction projects in China has not recovered yet following the Chinese New Year holiday and as production restrictions were still in place in North of China due to Olympics. Still, the steel is expected to resume upward momentum later in February as China’s government plans infrastructure investments in a bid to boost economic stability. .

Steel price is on the uptrend again

Steel price inching up again

US inflation rate is now 7%. Most products' prices will go up soon. So the material prices will go up accordingly in a matter of time. So steel prices will go up too. When this happens, Lion Industries will be benefitted.

In an inflation environment, only the consumers suffer the most

The share price can be 10x when the Lion awakes with the full revival of Megasteel's operation. It will be the biggest steel manufacturer in Malaysia

Steel rebar rebounding since 19 Nov

The completion of the disposal coming soon....

Upon disposal of its Antara Steel Mill, Lion Ind is going to recognize an extraordinary gain of RM403 mil or RM0.56 sen per share and its last reported NAPS was RM2.04.

So its NAPS will increase to RM2.60 upon disposal of the said Antara Steel Mill which should be completed asap to facilitate the revival of the real giant Megasteel in Malaysia to take advantage and capitalize on the good profit margin of hot rolled coil market....

NAPS = RM2.04. Current Lion's market capitalization is RM504 mil only.
More than RM400 mil extraordinary disposal gain is on the way.
Reactivation of Megasteel is anticipated in Dec 2021.
Its production capacity is bigger than Hiap Teck....

What an interesting market in Bursa.......

If Megasteel can generate say RM200 profit per ton of HRC, its production capacity of 3.2 mil tonnes per annum may translate into a total profit of RM640 mil per annum. That will be huge.

Lion Industries' current market capitalization is RM540 mil only @ 75sen

Just wondering how much RM.... profit per ton is the right estimate.

A steel giant in the making !!!

Obviously it appears that the corporate adviser (Kenanga) did not do its job right for the breach because as a paid adviser, it had the obvious role and duty to advise Jaks on the rules and regulations pertaining to the rights issue as well as to ensure full compliance.

On the hand, why Bursa had to take such a long time to pick up and flag out this non-compliance?

In other words, oversight does happen here and there in the new era? There are simply too many rules and regulations to manage nowadays and every organization keeps on downsizing their headcounts and force them to multi-task until they lose focus and overlook a lot of things....... so sad...

This Lion is furious and powerful. It has already appreciated more than 50% in less than 10 trading days. Hope it would not retrace 20% and consolidate for a while before continuing the uptrend.....

I wish Jaks could announce the successful tenders of some mega projects soon that it has submitted biddings (in excess of RM4 bil in value) in the last many months. That would squeeze the short dry.
Long live ALP! Show them your real super power

The share price has to hover around or stay below 1.03 for a while. Otherwise, it will look bad as if the pp is engineered to benefit the cronies or buddy investors.
Be patient.

Hope the counter could absorb the huge script delivery these few days arising from the huge trading volume few days ago

Uptrend continues?

Is 42 to 43 sen a strong support level based on its 5 year chart?

https://disclosure.bursamalaysia.com/FileAccess/apbursaweb/download?id=118465&name=EA_GA_ATTACHMENTS

Another mega project will require another partner from China, Russia or Europe to provide the expertise and funding like what Jaks just did in the past 7 years. Maybe it can also invite cash rich Supermax and Top Glove to join venture......

No worries, the rights issue for Jaks itself, if any, will come in another 5 to 7 years later. Enjoy the construction profits first.....

Jaks will likely use the previous approach to undertake this new venture. It does not make sense for Jaks to undertake a multi billion ringgit rights issue in the near and medium term to fund the project on its own...

Jaks could be grossly undervalued if compared to SLVEST which is in solar power business.

Tendered for RM4 billion worth of jobs. Waiting for outcome.

Any 15% to 20% success rate in tendering will be awesome!

Malacca Securities understands that Jaks is tendering for RM4b to RM5b worth of projects???

The power plant's net profit contribution can increase to RM 173mil if Jaks chooses to acquire additional 10% stake in the power plant.

Can't wait to see ALP to burn all those short sellers and investment banks (that bet against Jaks by issuing call warrants) to the ground by pushing the share price through the roof.

Based on the last 5 years track record, each of its REAL uptrend rallies could last 4 months or longer. Slow but pretty steady too, with minor volatilities in between.

VW pulls a fast one: ‘Voltswagen’ rebrand a ruse

NEW YORK, Mar 31 — Volkswagen US’ subsidiary is keeping its name and will not rename itself “Voltswagen,” a company spokesman said yesterday, confirming that an earlier announcement was an April Fool’s joke that may have gone further than intended.


The German automaker’s US subsidiary, which is launching a media blitz for a new all-electric sport utility vehicle, recrafted its social media pages yesterday and said the new moniker represents its “future-forward investment in e-mobility,” according to a press release early Tuesday that was widely covered, including by AFP.

Company officials kept up the pretence for hours, with a US spokesman confirming the name change early yesterday in response to an email question about whether it was an April Fool’s joke.


But VW spokesman Mark Gillies said in an email late yesterday that the “Voltswagen” rebrand was a joke after the Wall Street Journal and other media reported that the announcement was indeed a ruse.


The incident comes as VW unveils new ads in the United States for the ID.4, its new electric model. VW’s shift to electric cars marks an opportunity to redefine itself after the bruising “Dieselgate” scandal, which led to billions of dollars’ worth of government settlements and a shakeup of company leadership.

Daniel Binns, head of Interbrand, a New York-based marketing consultancy, said the VW’s announcement succeeded in generating buzz, but that the approach was not risk-free.

“It’s got us talking about it, so it’s working,” Binns said late yesterday afternoon while the branding campaign was under suspicion but not yet debunked.

But Binns said the joke was not necessarily intuitive, since the release came a few days before April 1. There is also a risk the communication around the joke will look “mismanaged” given that many people took it seriously.

“At this point it’s how it gets resolved and what is the punchline,” Binns told AFP.

The episode began Monday, when VW briefly published the “Voltswagen” press release, sparking speculation it was an April Fools’ joke. Such stunts are particularly popular in the German press.

VW quickly removed the release but made a formal announcement yesterday morning. The name was also changed on VW’s Twitter and YouTube pages.

A VW spokesman in the United States said yesterday the announcement was originally intended for April 29, but that the transition was accelerated after the inadvertent Monday release.

“After yesterday, we have decided to expedite this roll-out and will be going through a series of transitions in both internal and external brand guidelines that will make this change as seamless and straightforward as possible,” said spokesman William Gock, whose email signature identifies him as Product Communications Senior Specialist for Volkswagen of America.

“This name change signals that VW is transitioning away from the internal combustion engine and to e-mobility,” Gock said in response to emailed questions, including about April Fool’s Day.

“We foresee our cars being all electric in the US by the end of the next decade, and we hope the attention we’re generating here will help communicate these goals and commitments to all.”

Tesla-level buzz?

The announcement comes as VW unveils in US showrooms this month the new all-electric ID.4 sport utility vehicle, the latest challenge by a conventional automaker to Elon Musk’s Tesla franchise.

Besides releasing products to compete with Tesla, traditional automakers are also trying to compete with Musk’s flare for generating buzz.

VW’s plan for shifting away from conventional cars is similar to that of General Motors, which introduced a new brand design earlier this year as part of an avowed redefinition of the company to what GM calls a future of “zero crashes, zero emissions and zero congestion.”

A series of light-hearted spots released Monday played up the change to an auto that starts up without a traditional vroom, responds to voice commands to adjust the heat and charges up while an owner goes to bed.

Wedbush Securities praised VW’s announcement as evidence it is “not playing around” in building up its electric car fleet and remaking its corporate image, according to a note released yesterday shortly after the purported name change. — AFP
