Based on records from CGS-CIMB, EPF started buying back YTL Corp shares by acquiring 1.2 million shares on 31 May 2024. That marked the first purchase by EPF after it pared down its stakes below 5.0% last year.
On the other hand, Yeoh Tiong Lay & Sons Sdn Bhd added shares in YTL and YTL Power yesterday.
@cwc1982, it shows that EPF has finally seen the deep values in YTL. I expect more buying from EPF in coming weeks, to gradually increase its holdings back to 5% level.
Hi @why is reasonable for UBS to sell down. Last year when they take over the YTL share from Credit Sussie, the price was hovering between 55 to 70 cents. So I normal for UBS to lock in profit to offset the losses from taking over Credit Sussie
Power & Utilities Sector - 1Q24 Within Expectations
Author: sectoranalyst | Publish date: Wed, 5 Jun 2024,
Review The Power and Utilities (P&U) sector reported results that were largely in line with expectations in 1QCY24 (Figure 2).
Only MALAKOF disappointed out of 6 P&U stocks under our coverage. MALAKOF missed expectations due to lower-than-expected share of profit from its associates.
Compared with the preceding quarter, core profit for the sector soared 24.3% QoQ mainly driven by lower non-fuel operating expenses for TENAGA (Figure 3). Compared with 1QCY23, core profit jumped 16.2% YoY supported by stellar performance at Power Seraya of YTLPOWR and turnaround at MALAKOF following the easing of negative fuel margins.
Outlook With the launch of the National Energy Transition Roadmap (NETR), a roadmap meant to shift Malaysia from traditional fossil fuel economy into a high-value green economy, we expect P&U sector to be the major beneficiary due to the exciting earnings possibility that the roadmap presents.
In line with the NETR, Malaysia recently set up the Energy Exchange Malaysia (ENEGEM) for trading in green electricity supply to Singapore. This is a small but important step forward before the nation scales up the cross-border sale of renewable energy to Singapore where the electricity price is much higher. TENAGA should be the main beneficiary as the group can increase its interconnection grid with Singapore in the future and hence collect returns from utilisation of the grid.
Meanwhile, the government also targets to implement third party access (TPA) by allowing independent power producers (IPPs) to sell directly to consumers, bypassing their need to purchase from TENAGA. This is a positive news for IPPs and the power generation business of TENAGA, providing them with possibility of higher returns compared with competitive bidding under the large-scale solar tenders.
UBS had a direct stake of 0.44% in YTL Power and another 3.12% via Credit Suisse as of 30 June 2023.
UBS may adjust its investment portfolio after it fully took over Credit Suisse, no one knows whether it will pare down further stakes in YTL or increase stakes in YTL Power.
It does not matter, now local funds are big buyers of both YTL and YTL Power shares. Plus company share buyback and buying from Yeoh Tiong Lay & Sons Sdn Bhd, it should have strong support to share price.
No need to make a big fuss on UBS ceasing to be a substantial shareholder of YTL. It still holds 4%+ stakes in YTL and 3.5% in YTL Power. We don't know its next move.
It may start adding back YTL once HSR news gains traction or adding shares in YTL Power or MCement.
You simply cannot imply much from just one event. Similarly those traders who over-reacted to one quarter of weak results from YTL Power may regret now as share price shoots past RM5.00 again and may scale new highs months later. Long term investors need not worry too much about such volatility.
The guy that keep pressing down the price back to 3.62 really deserve a salute. Each time the price rises to 3.63, within 10 seconds sure will sell down 100 units to push back to 3.62
