Really Philip so sohai buying into kpower & scib ah ??

Posted by Sslee > Jun 18, 2020 4:53 PM | Report Abuse

Haha
So Philip sold 2 million of Gkent at 66 cents on 15 and 16 June each to buy Kpower and SCIB. Had Philip change his mind on: Always look to the future, not the 6 months and 1 year future. But at minimum 3 years and beyond?
16-Jun-2020 Sell GKENT -2,000,000 0.66
15-Jun-2020 Sell GKENT -2,000,000 0.66

Philip ( what you can learn from RJ MITTE ) That is not altogether unreasonable. I believe if you buy the shares today and also at my buying price of 46 cents, the dividends will be safe once the expected 20 million of earnings per quarter from lrt3 progress claim and the 5 million per quarter from mrt2 progress claim comes online.

Sslee, my portfolio on i3 is still up and running and shared between friends and my telegram group. I find it is useful for people who are really interested in learning about investment instead of using it just to push their own agenda on how INSAS is a good investment instead. J believe the results 1.5 year results have been amply clear.

I will open my portfolio to public once every quarter for public viewing and to see my performance and have a proper discussion and sharing of info.

Until then, further discussions and viewing of my trackable portfolio can be done on my telegram discussion group that I set up to stop rudeness, name-calling and insults.

FYI it is free.

First time drop by, attracted by its cash but performance is down trend. Unless trading play or sudden big project, ST stabilize around this level.

Posted by Philip ( buy what you understand) > 2020-06-23 22:36 | Report Abuse

Unless someone to live under a rock recently they should realize that covid-19 does have a material impact on the company. As business have returned to full operation in may, all I can say is future quarters will have a much better future prospects outlook. FYI, gkent is STILL profitable and has ample cash moving forward. They are rushing to catch up to existing orders for water meters, existing orders for hospital construction and existing orders for lrt3.

If gkent is still profitable in this quarter, it gives me great hope for the company moving forward. I am still holding on, and only reducing my margin which went up when I bought it at 50 cents and sold it at 67 cents to reduce risk.

I still have a good position in gkent. They are securing EoT due to covid for project extension, and I have a good belief in the future of GKENT from the current 2 quarters of results.

As usual:

2021 hospital handover
2022 mrt2 rail systems progress
2023 smart water meter production
2024 lrt3 project progress

The simple question: is there any cancellation or fundamental problems for these projects. Has the government cancelled the projects due to budget issues like prestariang ic project? Is everything still ongoing and moving forward?

For me the answer is still yes.

KUALA LUMPUR (June 23): George Kent (M) Bhd recorded a 72% year-on-year drop in net profit to RM3.73 million in the first quarter ended April 30, 2020, as it ceased its water meter production as well as construction activities, following the the Movement Control Order (MCO).

Revenue was 53% lower at RM39.31 million compared with RM82.78 million a year earlier, the company said in a filing with Bursa Malaysia today.

George Kent said construction activities ceased completely amid the MCO and work only recommenced in early June after the completion of the mandatory foreign worker health screenings for Covid-19.

“The company intends to accelerate progress, as it adapts to the government’s standard operating procedures (SOPs),” it said.

On the metering business, George Kent said although orders for its water meters continued to come in, the company was unable to meet demand due to the full closure of its factory until early May.

The factory, which only resumed operations with full workforce capacity and without limitation in operating time from May 4, is now increasing its manufacturing capacity to clear the backlog of orders and cater for new orders from contract extensions and new tenders from local and regional water authorities.

Chairman Tan Sri Tan Kay Hock said in the medium term, the company’s performance would continue to be affected by disruptions including supply-chain issues, government SOPs and social distancing requirements.

"We continue to be cautiously optimistic of our prospects," he said.

Tan said the company is actively expanding its product portfolio through partnerships with other manufacturers, in line with its strategy to become a one-stop purveyor of water meters.

"Our long-term license agreement with Honeywell enhances our control over component supply and production costs. It also gives us the right to sell water meters to 15 new territories in Asia," he said.

George Kent’s smart metering technology is undergoing real-world tests through proofs of concept and pilot projects with state water authorities. "We are pursuing other such opportunities both in Malaysia and the region,” he said.

Tan said the company also had a team dedicated to developing new opportunities in the regional railway space, leveraging on its expertise as rail systems specialist in domestic railway projects.

“The company’s established network with international rail specialists will assist us in tapping into regional projects requiring international collaborations through joint ventures or strategic alliances,” he added.

Yes this is how you use margin, to buy things when they are cheap and use cash to buy and hold for the long term. Those who only keep cash waiting for market crash will be paralyzed and unable to buy during downturn.

Dear Philip,
Should I sell INSAS now and buy Gkent?
Or do you think Sengenics has potential to grow into INSAS cash cow even bigger than Inari?

Current major institutional investors and shareholders include Soft Bank Investment, which is a subsidiary of Soft Bank Pharmaceuticals (SBI Holdings) in Japan; and Insas Technology, an investment holding and management company based in Singapore and Malaysia

As for gkent they have gone through 2 quarters of grueling covid-19 work stoppages without losing money. Moving forward will their results be worse or better? As their work progress has returned in May, I firmly believe the answer is yes.

Why so many stupid bank analyst with shit brain come up with TP 50 cents ?. How do they qualified to be stocks analyst. Do you think the know how to read financial report and Balance sheet ?

So please allow me to sell you this future growth prospect of INSAS story.

[KUALA LUMPUR (May 29): The Malaysia Automotive, Robotics and IoT Institute (MARii) has partnered with Sengenics Sdn Bhd to develop ‘ImmuSAFE™’, the world’s first qualitative and quantitative Covid-19 test kit for industrial applications.
MARii said it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Sengenics that includes the development and commercialisation of products, services and technology related to health management systems, as well as high-throughput diagnostics for communicable diseases in industrial and commercial settings.]

I WhatsApp Dato’ Wong,” Is the above JV business deal very promising for INSAS?

He reply, “Insas owns 17.4% equity interest in Sengenics and I sit on its board from day 1. Yet to get financial impact from this MOU but Sengenics business & patents are getting traction and we signed collaboration agreements with world top pharma companies who will do R&D on patents owned by Sengenics”

Posted by Philip ( buy what you understand) > 2020-06-26 12:20 | Report Abuse

I think everyone is waiting for results to catch up. If you believe that lrt 3 earnings, hospital earnings and mrt2 earnings will come in, then it is good to hold it build up position. No point in scolding young bank analysts or their reasons for holding. We need to build our own estimates.

Why invest in something unknown with no financial impact or traction versus investing in something concrete and signed with profit margins and earnings guaranteed by government? I don't understand that.

But we shall just sit back and monitor as time goes by.

@Philip

As I read again the recent QR the PAT of RM3726k is included the forex gain

if excluded the forex gain, then actually GKENT is making loss of RM1078k

What you think about this?

So GKENT QR is not as good as it portrayed, as it is loss making operationally.
