Correction over? Operators has done many rounds of washing to flush away stale bulls & weak holders! Kobay will benefit from planned US Tariff increase from 25% to 50% for E&E products just like gloves sector
Apart from diversification into Healthcare Business, Kobay Technology benefits from Semiconductor, E&E demand surge due to US Planned Tariff increase to 50% from 25% for China made E&E products imported into US Market.
Kobay will start electronic manufacturing system (EMS) and solar panels soon. Kobay is ready to manufacture aluminium frames for solar panels as the renovation and installation of its new 15-acre plant dedicated to renewable energy-related business had completed.
Kobay will be a beneficiary of US's tariff increase from 25% to 50% on China made solar cells modules/aluminium frames, as according to a White House statement: The tariff rate on solar cells (whether or not assembled into modules) will increase from 25% to 50% in 2024. The tariff increase will protect against China's policy-driven overcapacity that depresses prices and inhibits the development of solar capacity outside of China like Malaysia (Kobay)
*Note: US to Hike Tariffs on China Imports:
Steel and aluminium: The tariff rate on certain steel and aluminum products under Section 301 will increase from 0-7.5% to 25% in 2024.
Semiconductors: The tariff rate on semiconductors will increase from 25% to 50% by 2025.

Rpecommendation:
Kobay shares are tightly held by substantial shareholders. Since weak holders and retailers already flushed out and most substantial shareholder's holding cost is RM4 or above? not many are willing to sell at current price. Operators will go for the lower hanging fruit of RM3 before next TP4~4.50. The next run-up will be fast & furious! Accumulate on any weakness and we wait for the Breakout to the next wave of buy by market & Foreign Funds such as Dimensional Fund etc.

If Kobay has Lu to 2.58 before, it can Lu or even Gap-up just by association with any E&E player like Foxconn or similar like Vitrox in current Bullish Market?

Kobay to benefit from E&E, Aerospace & RE solar power projects from China Premier's Visit.
Malaysia, China likely to discuss wide range of issues to enhance economic collaboration - experts L
He said that apart from further consolidating existing links and identifying new sectors for cooperation, Anwar and Li are anticipated to facilitate the growth of Malaysian commodities, such as palm oil and durian-related products as well as enhance technology cooperation, which has been on the rise in recent years.
"Other new areas of focus may include aerospace, communications and green energy sectors," he said.
China has been Malaysia’s largest trading partner for 15 consecutive years since 2009. Last year, total trade with China was valued at RM450.84 billion (US$98.80 billion), contributing 17.1 per cent to Malaysia’s global trade.
Discussions on renewable energy on the cards
Echoing Abdul Majid’s views, Anthony said as both Malaysia and China are investing in clean technologies like solar, wind and hydro power, discussions on renewable energy are likely to be held to harness the green technology besides merely focusing on technology.
