Then MFCB may not be your cup of tea.
You can try other stocks which have less or zero dependent on commodity price.

It doesn't seem to drop further below RM2.50 since March 2022.

Since 1 year ago, the share price have hover range bound between 3.35 to 3.70.
Nothing to be concerned about.

Emery focus on oleochemicals especially specialty chemicals.
Input cost can be passed on to customers depending on types of chemicals and their margin.
No concern here also.

Thanks for the details.
Looks like just posted today by PBB.
Good thing Finance Minister addressed on this concern a few hours ago.
Lao Finance Minister Bounchom Oubonpaseuth has assured National Assembly (NA) members that public debt is still manageable, despite the total amount remaining considerable, Vientiane Times reported.

Without a good dividend yield, it would still be volatile.

KOTA KINABALU (June 10): The Sabah government remains fully committed to pursuing all its constitutional and legislative rights to recover the State Sales Tax (SST) due for the sale of petroleum products from both Repsol Oil and Gas Ltd (REPSOL) and SEA Hibiscus Sdn Bhd (SEAH).

Sabah Second Finance Minister Datuk Seri Masidi Manjun said the step is in accordance with the State Sales Tax Enactment 1988.

It's sad for Hibiscus not performing at this high crude oil and gas season.
I believe it's partly affected by news of UK windfall tax of 25%, inconsistent in off-takes, subsea riser malfunction and the recent Sabah SST tax concerns.

Barriers to entry for glove manufacturing seems low.
Many smaller players are able to start it easily.
However, large and established players eg: the top 4 glove makers have lower cost advantage due to their economies of scale.

Opec will increase another 200k pbl in July and August. Seems they need at least 12mth-15mth to replace the 1.8mil pbl crude oil supplied to EU which is 90% ban by year end.
Russia currently supplies crude oil of 5 mil pbl and 36% goes to EU bloc.

Actually, crude oil above USD100 pbl is already very profitable for o&g companies. Whether is USD110 or USD120, it's matter of earning more or a lot more.r
In view that, 2 major o&g companies ; Serba and Sapura have collapsed, that leaves the investing community with only Yinson, Dialog, and Hibiscus in Bursa.

Are you sure you are looking at the right chart?
With exception for the panic selling at the early stage of pandemic in March 2020, from Jan 2020 to June 2022, the stock price (adjusted for stock split) appreciated 44% excluding dividend. If you had collected it during the march 2020 selloff, you would have made 140%.

@Muyutin

Yes, you're right as witnessed in 2007/2008 financial crisis where crude oil top USD140pbl and slump to USD40 pbl in 6 months.
But the fact is no one can tell this event until it happens.
Besides that, it happens only once in 10-12 years.
You can wait till it happens.

Based on key pointer #3
3.As production volumes does not equate to sales volumes, we opine that it would be more appropriate to analyse Hibiscus on an annual basis – rather than quarter-to quarter as offtake batches are lumpy and huge in nature, which may deviate or create an earnings vacuum in certain quarters.

Summary: It will be difficult to determine annual earnings since crude oil prices can fluctuate upwards or downwards of more than 20%-30% within a few weeks. By the time it reaches the offtakes period towards year end, hopefully crude oil remain above USD100pbl.

Some key pointers:
1.Missed expectations – not due to operational/production issues but the unfortunate timing of offtakes in 3QFY22.

2.Revenue was flat while core net profit was down by 28% despite ours and market’s initial expectations of a multi-fold earnings growth QoQ. This is due to a misconception that production volume equals sales volume. For Hibiscus, sales are usually done in batches known as “offtakes”.

3.As production volumes does not equate to sales volumes, we opine that it would be more appropriate to analyse Hibiscus on an annual basis – rather than quarter-to quarter as offtake batches are lumpy and huge in nature, which may deviate or create an earnings vacuum in certain quarters.

4.On a QoQ comparison, 3QFY22 core net profit fell 37% QoQ to RM31mil due to the halving of North Sabah sales volume to 300K barrels as the company managed a single offtake vs. 2 in 2QFY22. Additionally, there was no sales offtake for Repsol asset’s Kinabalu production sharing contract (PSC).

5.We highlight that average daily net production decreased 21% QoQ to 4,695 barrels for North Sabah in 3QFY22 from unplanned production interruptions in January 2022 and an annual planned maintenance campaign in March this year.

6.Likewise, Anasuria also experienced an average daily net production decline of 20% QoQ to 1,983 barrels in 3QFY22 due to a continuing production riser malfunction, which is now expected to be rectified in 3Q2022.

Thanks for the HLIB report.
Good insight but the IB seems to have a lower net profit forecast for 2022.
Was expecting between rm400mil to rm450mil based on average USD90 pbl for fy2022
Unless, the earnings are based on long term contract with clients where earnings are not tied to the daily crude oil transacted price.

@snowball2000

Excluding the RM122.0 million share of profit in joint venture, I think the result is still good.

However, I have some concerns on the total borrowings (excluding lease liabilities) amounted to RM777.9 million, a RM120.0 million increase from RM657.9 million at the beginning of the year.
Even though, the increase was primarily due to additional borrowings to
part finance the acquisition of Stenta.

As interest rates will beginning to normalise from 2022 2nd half to 2023 by approximately 1%, hopefully management will take steps to further reduce the borrowings by funding acquisitions via private placements or warrants

If it's a conventional bank license, it would be profitable.
For a digital bank, providing services to unserved, underserved or unbanked individuals are not profitable biz.
Just my 2 cents.
