Moving forward, Bank Negara said growth in 2024 will be driven by resilient domestic expenditure and improvement in external demand. It said the tech upcycle combined with stronger external demand and continued improvement in the tourism sector will provide support to Malaysia's exports.
Better gaming earnings forecast for 4Q23 “For the casino segment, both Resorts World Genting (RWG) and Resorts World Sentosa (RWS) were packed with visitors queuing to enter the casinos and placing bets during the first week of CNY.
It said the Genting Group is a direct beneficiary of the tourism ramp-up in 2024 with foreign tourist arrivals to Malaysia expected to exceed 2019’s level.
“Positive developments of Genting Malaysia Bhd’s downstate New York’s full-fledged casino licence bid and Genting Bhd’s TauRx Pharmaceuticals’ Alzheimer drugs, which are set to release two years of its Phase Three trial data in March, are also key re-rating catalysts.”
The moratorium for New York’s downstate casino had ended in 2023, and Genting Malaysia’s Resorts World New York City (RWNYC) appeals as one of the frontrunners to secure a full-scale gaming licence.
“We anticipate more newsflow to be released within the first half of 2024 and RWNYC eventually securing a concession which may lift Genting Malaysia’s earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortisation by US$106mil based on our earlier assumptions,” said UOBKH Research.
On Genting’s 20.33%-owned TauRx, it said positive data from TauRx’s HMTM Phase Three trial may set a milestone towards securing authorities’ approval, which could potentially fetch RM3.45 per share monetisation value for Genting’s stake in TauRx.
The research firm said this was based on assumptions that TauRX was initially eyeing a Nasdaq initial public offering in 2017 with a potential valuation of US$15bil. However, it said it had yet to impute any option value from TauRX.
With so many Chinese coming to Malaysia during the Chinese New Year and many contributing to Genting's bottom line, Genting should actually move up strongly. Unfortunately it isn't.
Hold until March 2024. Genting Bhd’s TauRx Pharmaceuticals’ Alzheimer drugs, which are set to release two years of its Phase Three trial data in March, are also key re-rating catalysts.” TauRx’s HMTM Phase Three trial may set a milestone towards securing authorities’ approval
According to bursa, if the bosses or any major shareholder is selling, Genting Berhad need to provide detail to bursa and will appear in daily bursa news. So far I didn't see any change of shareholders new in Bursa for a very long times.,
Foreign funds are buying, local institutional funds are selling, strategically. Therefore, when hot money leaving, we have fund to support the market to prevent crashing. (If tomorrow gap up, some would be saying, aiya, why did I sell... :p)
StevenChua….correct this is the risk which is keeping the Genting share price checked …as well party surprise party related transactions …which can come out of the blue like Getting Genting to buy privately held Empire Resorts investments at inflated price….this is the main issue. This lack of good governance is what is stopping Genting and reason for underperformance which began before CV 19 some 7 years ago. But you never know things may change. Shareholders Need to be vigilant when announcements are made in relation Taurx..big selling could be followed by acquisition of shares before an market update
Dumping of large shares in open market by boss is really very bad governance ..this has happened few times. Bursa announces such transactions after the event. The right way to sell large number of shares by boss is to do it out of market this way it is less of a shock and is controlled.
My view only: If you are prepared.. to hold the stock for 2-3 years with a TP of RM10, whether it is at a share price of RM5 or 6 ...doesn't make a difference.
This book is the result of the author's many years of experience and observation throughout his 26 years in the stockbroking industry. It was written for general public to learn to invest based on facts and not on fantasies or hearsay....
