Time to accumulate a little more at 1.80+ as the qtr ending Sept 30 would be better than the last qtr. Hopefully a decent dividend of 10 -12 sen would be paid out for this FY
NBL is a synthetic rubber that uses butadiene as the main feedstock and is a core raw material in making nitrile gloves, which is widely used in industries such as healthcare, medical, and food, among others, to complement the existing natural rubber gloves due to its excellent intensity and chemical-resistance features.
Nitrile gloves usage has seen a rapid growth recently due to the Covid-19 pandemic, with demand rising at an annual average of more than 10 per cent, and is expected to account for 70 per cent of the entire latex gloves market in 2024.

Korea's Lotte Chemical explores IPO of Malaysian arm to raise US$500m
KUALA LUMPUR: Lotte Chemical Corp., the South Korean plastics manufacturer, is exploring an initial public offering of its Malaysian petrochemicals arm that could raise more than US$500mil, people with knowledge of the matter said.
The unit Lotte Chemical Titan Holding Sdn. could sell shares in Kuala Lumpur as soon as the second half of this year, the people said, asking not to be identified as the information is private.
Malaysia has hosted only one IPO of more than $500 million in the past two years, the $885 million share sale from power producer Malakoff Corp. in April 2015, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. First-time share sales in the country raised $1.28 billion last year, compared to $1.25 billion in 2014, the data show.
Lotte Chemical hasn’t yet decided whether to proceed with a listing of the Malaysian unit, and details such as the fundraising amount haven’t been set, the people said.
A Kuala Lumpur-based spokesman for Lotte Chemical Titan didn’t respond to phone calls and an e-mail seeking comment, while Lotte Group said in an e-mailed statement that it can’t verify any potential plans for the Malaysian unit to pursue an IPO.
Plastics produced by Lotte Chemical Titan include polyethylene, used in shopping bags and toys, as well as polypropylene, which can be found in battery casings and car parts. The company also makes olefins that are part of the manufacturing process for rubbers and detergents.
Lotte Chemical, when it was called Honam Petrochemical Corp., bought Titan Chemicals Corp. in a 2010 all-cash deal valued at US$1.25bil and delisted the company the next year. - Bloomberg
Cost purchased by Lotte mother US 1.25 billion X 3 exchange rate in Year 2011= RM 3.75billion. How much is the market capitalisation of Lctitian now..?
Current weakness in USD is good for LCtitan, as all its feedstock are USD denominated, but product sale is local currency denominated, mainly in Msia, China, Indonesia.
@whitbunny, the management wants to pass resolution to ask shareholders approval to declare dividend reinvestment scheme. If approve (chance is high), then the mgt has a right to issue new shares in lieu of cash dividend
