GD Express Carrrier ready to test higher, says AllianceDBS Research TheEdgeWed, Sep 28, 2016
KUALA LUMPUR (Sept 28): AllianceDBS Research said GD Express Carrier Bhd (Gdex) was ready to test higher and that Gdex had on Sept 27 traded higher to RM1.77 before closing at RM1.75 (up 2 sen or 1.15%).
In its evening edition yesterday, the research house said Gdex continued to trade above the 20-day and 50-day moving average lines.
“Following the up close on Sept 27, the stock is likely to move higher with immediate hurdle seen at RM1.77.
“A rise above RM1.77 would lift the stock to the next resistance zone, RM1.80 – RM1.84.
“The support is pegged at RM1.67. A fall below RM1.67 should see further price decline to the subsequent support zone, RM1.58 – RM1.63,” it said.
AllianceDBS Research said stock volume traded on Sept 27 was 1.52 million shares compared to the 3-month average volume of 220,000 shares.
The research house said that indicators wise, the MACD was above the 9-day moving average line with the buy signal remains intact.
It said the relative strength index indicated that the stock was currently in an overbought zone.
rubbish company, take 3 days delivery fr KL to JB yet no respond to customer abt shipment status, drivers always lying address cannot found but this is to a regular customer, wonder how management train their staff.
also customer service from 9am to 5pm nobody pickup, unless u know some of the staff email n ask them to check for you...
i doubt this is a listed company, hiring rubbish staff n how to service customer nicely? dump before this stock lost to local competitor like Poslaju, Sure Reach, Citylink etc etc.
yes this a lousy company, hiring a bunch of lazy workers, they can take 4 days to deliver within 15km even in etracking it ady stated out for delivery.im wondering y the stock price still keep rising
If you like GD Express you should consider DRB/POS instead.
These are the reasons
1) GD Express by all yardsticks is way too expensive compared to DRB share price.
2)GD Express has only 250 over offices while POS has over 700 POS Offices throughout Malaysia.
And with DRB injecting its logistic fleet of trucks and planes in POS the lion share of Online ECommerce delivery of white goods will go into DRB/POS
3) POS has indicted it will go into JV with Alibaba of Lazada. So Lazada might give more business to POS when its Delivery Trucks are in place
4) And by March 2017 JackMa of Alibaba will launch E Free Trade Zone at the invitation of Pm Najib
I am not telling you to sell GD Express as it will also benefit from Rising ECommerce. The pie is big enough. But if you want to diversify why not consider DRB also
e-commerce boom propels Pos Laju to be main contributor for the postal services group
PETALING JAYA: Not wanting to be left behind by the e-commerce boom, Pos Malaysia Bhd is counting on its courier services to be the main driver of growth within the next two years.
At the moment, the revenue generated from the traditional mail and courier services of Pos Laju is even.
According to group chief executive officer Datuk Mohd Shukrie Mohd Salleh, its Pos Laju service would be its main revenue generator by its next financial year ending March 31, 2018 (FY18), driven by rising demand for e-commerce.
At the moment, the Pos Laju service accounts for nearly one-third of total earnings.
“This year will be the final year when our mail business will be bigger than our Pos Laju business,” he told StarBiz during a visit to Menara Star yesterday.
“I am pretty confident that by looking at the numbers now, by next year, Pos Laju will be bigger than our mail business.”
Shukrie said year-on-year earnings from its mail business were shrinking slowly.
“Mail contribution is slightly over one-third, but it’s declining between 4% and 5% every year. Pos Laju, meanwhile, has been growing between 20% and 30% every year.
“Next year, I’m confident it will surpass our mail business. Right now, they are almost on par in terms of earnings.”
For its FY16, Pos Malaysia’s mail segment registered a higher revenue of RM905.4mil compared with RM741.7mil in the previous corresponding period, due to higher revenue in the transhipment business instead of a net drop in the traditional mail volume.
Its courier segment, meanwhile, registered a higher revenue of RM556.1mil compared to RM480.2mil, driven by increased demand from e-commerce.
Malaysia’s biggest beneficiary in the e-commerce space is GD Express Carrier Bhd (GDex), whose revenue is less than half of what Pos Laju is generating. For its FY15 ended June, GDex registered an earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation of RM41.4mil, indicating a margin of 20%. It commands a market capitalisation of RM2.14bil.
As for Pos Laju. according to Pos Malaysia’s annual report, the segment contributed RM55.4mil to the group’s results on a turnover of RM556.1mil, indicating a margin of 10%.
Pos Malaysia’s market capitalisation is RM1.64bil.
On another matter, Shukrie said the injection of DRB-Hicom’s logistics assets into Pos Malaysia would bode well for the postal services company as it planned to cater to the growth of e-commerce.
“For the last 200 years, Pos Malaysia’s operations have been last-mile operations. That’s how we’ve been doing business.
“But anything from first mile and in between, we have to use a third party. Over time, the margin is being compressed. It would be good if we’re in control of the entire chain end-to-end.”
Shukrie said Pos Malaysia was “going big” into e-commerce now, adding that it was the way forward for the company.
“And for us to do that, we need a warehouse specifically for e-commerce.”
Last December, DRB-Hicom had proposed to inject its logistics assets such as KL Airport Services Sdn Bhd and a parcel of freehold industrial land in Shah Alam into Pos Malaysia.
DRB-Hicom, which already owns a 32.21% stake in Pos Malaysia, will be issued with 245.75 million new Pos Malaysia shares for those assets.
“The best way to do that is to use a facility that’s readily available for us. It will provide between 1.5 million sq ft and 1.7 million sq ft of warehouse,” said Shukrie.
“We also plan to buy a piece of land in Shah Alam and convert it into an e-commerce warehouse as well as for automotive logistics.”
Aminvestment said: "although we believe the set up of DFTZ will be positive on the long term growth of MAHB and the overall logistics sector, we believe it is still too early to quantify the impact of DFTZ, as it is only expected to be launched by end of 2019"
The logistic sector does not have high entry barrier. By that time, a lot of new logistic start-ups will emerge.
3 Bonus Shares for every one (1) existing GDEX Share

GDEX announced a 3-for-1 bonus issue last Friday, which should have no fundamental impact to the company. However, this could improve share liquidity and market participation. On the other hand, we still view GDEX as a direct beneficiary and earnings-proxy of the growing e- commerce industry. Trading buy call 3.80
