Malaysia lost an estimated RM$8 billion (US$1.7 billion) in wasted water between 2018 and 2022. The perceived low cost of water combined with climate pressures is fuelling water scarcity.

He noted, “The National Semiconductor Strategic Task Force (NSSTF) and MIDA’s expertise are key to the New Industrial Master Plan 2030, aiming to increase economic complexity, forge stronger global linkages, and create high-paying jobs for Malaysians.”

Mr. Sikh Shamsul Ibrahim Sikh Abdul Majid, CEO of MIDA, underscored the benefits of SPIL’s investment, stating, “This facility enhances Malaysia’s semiconductor ecosystem, creating high-value engineering jobs and accelerating the export of Malaysian products globally.” He added that this project positions Malaysia as a key player in the international semiconductor market, driving sustained economic growth.

Dato’ Loo Lee Lian highlighted Penang’s substantial contribution to the semiconductor sector, stating, “Penang is proud to host SPIL, reflecting foreign investors’ confidence in our region as a hub for advanced technologies. This facility will advance Penang up the value chain, reinforcing its reputation as the Silicon Valley of the East.”

Mr. Michael Chang, CEO of SPIL Malaysia, expressed gratitude to MIDA and InvestPenang for their support. He stated that the P1 plant will foster innovation, cultivate semiconductor talent, and enhance technological capabilities in Penang. He emphasized SPIL’s commitment to environmental sustainability, aiming for GBI Green Globes Certification and a net-zero carbon reduction goal by 2050.

Why Engtex?
#Engtex is the only maker of large-diameter MS pipes of up to three metres in Malaysia, used in upstream water supply projects.
#It is one of only two producers of ductile iron (DI) pipes locally (the other being Penang-based YLI holdings Bhd). Highly corrosion- resistant, DI pipes are widely used in water distribution.
#Ranhill Utilities under YTL Power will need Engtek's large diameter MS pipes & ductile iron (DI) pipes for its upstream water supply projects & ductile iron (DI) pipes widely used in water distribution to give YTL Power access to exclusive Johor water operations allowing it to capitalise on prospects from the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone and potential demand from Johor’s data centre hubs.
#Year to date, Engtex has secured new contract wins of RM151 million from the Sungai Rasau Treatment plant's main contractors i.e. Gamuda Bhd (for Package 1) and Taliworks Corporation Bhd (for Package 2 and 3).

Added more Engtex-WB at 41 sen.

Posted by DividendGuy67 > 2 months ago | Report Abuse

ENGTEX closed 1.15, but the WB warrant closed 0.445, basically trading at a discount to Intrinsic Value (WB strike 70 sen, expiry 2 years away).

In general, warrants should be avoided, but highly experienced trader may accept increase in risk for higher returns via leverage via deep ITM warrants with long expiry dates (to keep Theta decay to minimum).

However, at 0.445 close, its negative Theta which is not normal, so, WB Market Maker may have a reason for this. Typically, there's 3 reasons:

1. WB market maker, due to low volume, is trying to garner interest in the WB warrant by sometimes creates temporary mispricing situations. More experienced traders come in to take advantage and then interest is generated. E.g. my writing about this discount here.

2. Market maker thinks in the short term, ENGTEX is overbought and likely to consolidate and fall to support - e.g. price falling back to RM1.

3. WB Market maker is wrong creating mispricing.

The thing about WB warrants is that for you to win, the other side must lose. If the volume is light, it means it's between you and the Market Maker. If volume is heavy, then, you have more junior traders coming in and it's possible for highly experienced trader AND the market maker to make monies off the ignorants. Remember, warrants are derivatives with zero-sum. It means for you to win, someone else must lose.

I'm willing to bet that in the long run, the Market maker will not lose - else, he goes out of business.

Posted by DividendGuy67 > 2 months ago | Report Abuse

The Intrinsic Value of WB if price temporarily falls back to RM1 is 30 sen. If RM1 is support, likely the premium will re-appear i.e. the WB warrant traded higher than 30 sen. Still price fall from 41 down to 30 sen is nearly 25% loss. This is not a small loss, unless you trade so small, i.e it makes no difference whether you win or small, but the point is this is not a compounding machine. If you keep playing, trying to "compound", then, one day, eventually, Market maker wins and takes away all of your past gains. The longer you play, the more warrant trades you make, Market maker is betting that you will try to "compound" i.e. eventually, he will take away all of your past gains. Because you cannot always win forever.

Posted by DividendGuy67 > 2 months ago | Report Abuse

In other words, the Market Maker is "fishing". Sometimes, he lets you see a discount to reel you in. Sometimes he let you wins to encourage you to keep trading and keep playing warrants. The moment volume goes up, he knows who is greedy and who isn't. And that's when the killing is made. If you can't detect this over many trades, it means you are the sucker. Don't fall for this - just avoid playing warrants for long term, unless you are experienced and sense a compelling trade, but don't make a habit of playing it.

Posted by DividendGuy67 > 2 months ago | Report Abuse

PS. Market makers for derivatives, due to zero sum game nature, are amongst the smartest out there. The things they do always pushes boundaries of what's legal and what isn't. It's a question of reward to risk. Let's see the reaction to this statement. 😉

Posted by DividendGuy67 > 2 months ago | Report Abuse

For the record, you must be a good trader to win with WB. You need to buy at very good times and sell at good times. And you cannot be inaccurate, because small inaccuracies can mean a difference between profit or loss. And this accuracy is hard work.

Personally, I avoid because it's a 3 foot hurdle for me - it means I really have to make a serious attempt and at this juncture in my life, I no longer look for 3 foot hurdles but low 1 feet hurdle where I can just walk over it and win.

So, I always trade the mother stocks now and so far this buy and sell stock works extremely well for me. It helps I have a sizeable account, so, I don't need the leverage and it helps it's not a zero sum game in stocks. Last year, I made over a dozen trades (buy, sell, closed) and it's 100% win rate. Open positions around 85% win rate on paper (and the losses small). To me, these are 1 foot hurdle. The certainty of winning is what attracts me. I want to know that before I enter the trade, that I have. very high odds to come out winning. And so, I avoid warrants trading. Just sharing.

For example, one of my worst trades is MAGNUM - I published it in my blog. I chased at 1.16. After I chased, price went up and then fell and I sit on unrealized loss for some time. But because it is mother stock, there is no warrant theta decay. And eventually, market runs up, and now, it's a profit. And I took some partial profit at 1.29. Likely this will be another win. If you trade sound fundamental stocks with good fundamentals, even if your timing is inaccurate, you have very good odds of winning. And wins is what attracts me when trying to compound.
