The local stock marketgained 6.8%month-on-month inJuly, thankstoglove makers’ strongrally. Giventhe sharpgainsinthe pastfourmonths,howwill Augustlooklikeand whatare the events towatch out for?
PETALING JAYA: Amid the positive market momentum, 54 companies hit their 52-week highs yesterday on Bursa Malaysia.
A large number of companies across the board also hit limit up, with their share prices gaining more than 30%.
The benchmark FBM KLCI closed higher by 20.44 points or 1.3% to 1,588.57.
Volume hit fresh record high at 16.68 billion shares worth RM8.56bil, compared with Wednesday’s 15.57 billion shares worth RM8.26bil. The market breadth was positive with 716 gainers outnumbering 468 losers.
While the index posted its fourth consecutive month of gain in July, driven by strong liquidity and the rally of glove stocks on expectations of positive earnings momentum, the month of August could see some volatility as the market braces for profit-taking activities.
Analysts at CGS-CIMB said the FBM KLCI tended to be negative in August based on historical trends and data.
“The FBM KLCI has an average month-on-month negative return of 0.8% over the past 10 years and 1.8% over the past 40 years, ” CGS-CIMB said.
It expected the market to focus on the release of the country’s second-quarter gross domestic product (GDP) on Aug 14 and the outcome of the MSCI index review on Aug 12.
August is also the month of the second-quarter results season for major corporations that have their financial year ending in Dec 2020.
Other observers said the continued and sustained political stability would also be crucial for market integrity and for it to sustain gains that have been achieved.
CGS-CIMB said volatility had shrunk to its lowest levels since February as at the end of July, despite the big move at the start of the month.
“The low volatility suggests that a big move may be just around the corner. The FBM KLCI’s most recent failure last week to kick beyond the 1,617 resistance level and the triple negative divergence on its momentum indicators, coupled with the fact that the market has been held up by retailers (in 11 of the past 16 trading days, this group of market participants was the major buyers), we believe the market is due for a correction sooner rather than later, ” CGS-CIMB said.
On the currency market front, the ringgit had been strengthening of late likely due to investor expectations that Malaysia is handling the Covid-19 situation better than thought.
Analysts at Maybank Research said in a report the US dollar-to-ringgit pair looked on track to test lower.
“On July 8, we called for US dollar-ringgit to trade lower towards 4.22 objective, ” Maybank Research said.
“Further downside amid a new 4.15–4.25 range is likely but not without risks. Developments on US-China trade talks, Covid-19 second wave risks and the US fiscal stimulus outcome are some risks to keep in view, ” it added.
The ringgit was last traded at 4.1895 against the US dollar yesterday.
It's difficult for minority SHs to sell parkson if they bought it those days above $5, today it worth 0.08. Similar to genting, which saw number of SHs increased over the past few years as major holders continued to sell and minority judged it is cheap entry level. Will aeon follow the downward trend? Luck anyway. Good luck.

The Group saw another weak set of numbers reported, with the previously steady Leisure segment also slipping into a loss for the quarter. 1QFY20 net profit of only RM1.1m (-84.5% YoY, -68.7% QoQ) is below expectations at 5.3% of our and 4.5% of consensus full-year estimates. In light of current operating conditions amid the Covid-19 pandemic, we are slashing FY20/FY21/FY22 earnings estimates by 39.5%/25.1%/14.2% as we forecast larger losses in its mall operations, while also changing property launch and sales assumptions. We still like I-Berhad’s long-term value proposition underpinned by a remaining ~60% of its gross development value in Shah Alam yet to be realized. While our unchanged target price of RM0.26 (based on an already-steep 80% discount to fully-diluted RNAV) appears to provide significant price performance upside, we retain our Neutral call given the lack of near-term re-rating catalysts. Longer-term investors may find value in its attractive location which will benefit from the urbanization of the outer Klang Valley region however.
1QFY20 earnings overview. Property development pretax profit of RM3.1m (-60.3% YoY, -59.8% QoQ) remains the largest contributor despite the lower overall Group numbers. This is magnified by pretax losses of RM400,000 and RM1.1m in its property investment and leisure segments respectively due to business shutdowns following imposition of the Movement Control Order (MCO) to contain the Covid-19 pandemic. 2QFY20 contributions will be equally uninspiring as a result. Property unbilled sales declined further amid the lack of new launches, now at RM94.2m as at end-March from RM98.4m at end-December.
Business overview. Soft market conditions have seen the Group holding back on property launches, focusing instead on its property investment portfolio. The Group’s recent rights issue of preference shares puts it on strong financial footing to ride out this current soft patch, though will be unable to help stem earnings degradation from weak consumer sentiment. Owing to recent inactivity as a result of the extended MCO, its Grade-A GBI-rated office tower will now only be occupied late-3Q/early-4Q while opening of the Double Tree by Hilton Hotel and 2nd Convention Centre are now delayed to mid-2021.
Risks to earnings will come from further delays in launches. While we had previously accounted for one (valued at ~RM300m) this year, and one (also valued at ~RM300m) next year, we are now assuming delays by 6-9 months, thereby necessitating our earnings cut. Wider-than-expected losses from its mall operations may also weigh, in addition to weakness in its Leisure division. While portions of the latter have reopened, it is unlikely to operate at optimal capacity however given distancing requirements. The gradual clearing of inventories estimated at about RM300m is a plus point.
