It's only temporary correction for Bursa: Analysts

With KLCI down more than 40 points last week, everybody are looking for clue. What will happen to our market next week? Will KLCI continue to fall? Is bear market coming? and etc...

No doubt, our confident will be shaken at this point. Everybody are hoping this is just a short term fall.

With DOW up on Friday and Egypt problem resolved, we will see a rebound on Monday. But not sure will it be for long, as Tuesday is a holiday.

To boast your confident on KLCI, read article below from Business Times.

It's only temporary correction for Bursa: Analysts


The Malaysian stock market's sharp fall this week is likely a temporary correction rather than the start of a bear market, analysts and fund managers say.

Those contacted by Business Times expect the weakness to continue over the short term as more foreign funds move out of emerging markets and back into developed markets on the back of improving economic data in the US.

None, however, planned to downgrade their year-end targets for the benchmark FTSE Bursa Malaysia Kuala Lumpur Composite Index, which ranged between 1,700 and 1,790 points.

The index, which eased 2.4 per cent this week erasing all its gains for the year, closed at 1,494.52 yesterday, some 0.6 per cent lower than the previous day.

It was the first time in eight weeks that it fell below the psychologically important 1,500-point mark.

It was the market's third straight day of losses, with three stocks falling for every one that gained.

This was blamed mainly on foreign selling. Recent data show that foreigners turned net sellers this week, with total net selling of RM1.18 billion.

"With net foreign buying totalling RM16 billion since early-2010, this suggests that the market could remain weak for a while," said an analyst from Maybank Investment Bank (MIB) Research.

The head of a foreign research house, which had one of the highest year-end targets for the index, pointed out however, that there has been no change to the country's strong fundamentals and growth prospects.

"The selling in the market now is inevitable given the liquidity build-up in the recent months, but the fact is there has been no structural changes. We see this as a temporary setback and we're not changing our forecast," the person, who declined to be named, told Business Times.

Analysts said there was sufficient domestic liquidity and catalysts, like the kick-off of projects under the Economic Transformation Programme, to buoy the market.

"We think the market's still on a longer-term bullish trend as Asian markets still have very good growth prospects. This weakness could go on for one or two weeks before it stabilises. I don't think the market is going to crash," said Choo Swee Kee, chief investment officer at TA Investment Management Bhd.

Terence Wong, head at CIMB Research, said the recent foreign fund flow-out was not unexpected as regional markets like Thailand and Indonesia also experienced a similar situation.

"We think the market will weather this period and I'm keeping my target at 1,700 points," he said.

MIB Research, meanwhile, said the market's broader weakness offered investors the opportunity to accumulate good fundamental stocks.

OSK Research suggested buying banking stocks on the economic growth story and said the construction, oil and gas and property sectors also made good trading buys.

"With almost equal upside and downside potential, we advise buying on weakness on these sectors," it said in a report yesterday. - By Adeline Paul Raj

This could be the reason why GENTING down

Genting, Genting S’pore down on concerns of lower VIP customer flow 

- by Chua Sue-Ann, theedgemalaysia.com

KUALA LUMPUR: Share prices of Genting Bhd and its subsidiary Genting Singapore plc fell from market open yesterday on concerns of a possible reduced volume in its VIP customers at the latter’s Resorts World Sentosa (RWS) integrated resort.

Genting’s shares opened after the holiday break at RM11.52, falling throughout the day to close at an intra-day low of RM10.90, shedding 62 sen. Some 8.46 million Genting shares were traded.

Across the causeway, Genting Singapore’s shares fell nine cents from S$2.15 to S$2.06 after a day of volatile trading activity with almost 164.32 million shares exchanged.

This came after Citi Investment Research said it reduced its revenue forecast for Genting Singapore’s 4QFY10 results, which is for the period between October and December last year by about 7% to S$765.1 million (RM1.8 billion). Consequently the research house also reduced Ebitda (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation) estimate by about 7% to S$371.7 million.

In a note dated Feb 6, Citi Investment Research also said it had conservatively lowered its RWS 4QFY10 VIP rollings assumption to a 5% quarter-on-quarter (q-o-q) decline from the 2% q-o-q growth forecast earlier.

Consequently, the research house also slashed Genting’s earnings estimates for FY10 to FY12 by 1% to 8%.

Genting is expected to report its fourth-quarter results by end of this month.

Citi Investment Research’s revision of Genting’s performance forecasts comes after Las Vegas Sands Corp last week reported a 20% q-o-q drop in its VIP gaming business in its Singapore casino, Marina Bay Sands, sparking concerns that its rival, RWS could see similarly weak performance.

“We believe we could see some ripple effect as the market could become worried about a possible volume decline at Resorts World Sentosa,” Citi Investment Research said.

The research house noted that in Las egas Sands’ 4QFY10 results released on Feb 3, Marina Bay Sands had generated Ebitda of US$305.8 million (RM929.6 million) and a 54.6% margin which had been the highest numbers from any single property in Las Vegas Sands’ history. The results were largely attributed to Marina Bay Sands’ 3.11% VIP hold rate and stringent cost controls, Citi Investment Research said.

Citi Investment Research said it had also lowered its VIP rolling assumption for Marina Bay Sands by 20% and Ebitda by about 3% for the FY11 and FY12 estimates despite guidance from Las Vegas Sands’ management that Marina Bay Sands’ Ebitda in January had reached US$110 million.

Nevertheless, it remained positive on the growth prospects in the Singapore gaming market despite lower volume at Marina Bay Sands’ VIP business and a possible similar decline at RWS.

Singapore is expected to generate US$5.1 billion in gross gaming revenue in 2011, implying that Singapore’s market size with the two casinos was roughly 85% of Las Vegas’ market size, Citi Investment Research said.

Meanwhile, AmResearch yesterday upgraded Genting Singapore to a “buy” from a “hold” with a higher fair value of S$2.60 from the previous fair value of S$2.13.

AmResearch said it raised Genting Singapore’s fair value to account for the expected higher casino revenue growth underpinned by increased VIP gaming turnover, higher casino patronage and a long-term terminal growth rate of 8.5% from FY20 onwards.

Genting Singapore’s forecast net profit growth of over 20% annually from FY11 to FY13 would likely be driven by an expected increase in casino patronage and VIP gaming revenue as well as growth in visitorship and average spending at non-casino attractions, AmResearch said.

“We believe that Genting Singapore is in the early stages of profit growth. Hence, despite the group’s strong core net earnings in the first year of operations, we reckon that there is still upside potential,” AmResearch said in a note dated Feb 7.

Lets shop at Bursa !

KLCI lost again, the 6th day losses in a row, longest since July 2010, to close at 1500.00, down 6.43.

Although the index has been going down for so many days but this is a healthy pull-back. Chances for post-CNY rally is high.

Everybody is busy doing their CNY shopping, so don't left behind. Lets shop at Bursa Malaysia.

Managed to buy PJDEV-WC at 31 sen today. Will queue to buy more on this counter tomorrow, look at the expired/maturity date, 2020 ! 19 years to expired.

Will also queue to buy Pantech-WA, BJCORP, MPHB and TA.

Any good counter to recommend? Plenty isn't it !

KL bourse faces selldown risks!

KLCI continue to go south today,  down 16.54 points to close at 1526.43.

I was expecting the downtrend to be mild and not as fierce as these.

Is it good time to buy now?

Initially, I was planning to buy-in on next Monday or eve of  CNY but some of the stock are getting attractive now. May be will change my plan to buy some tomorrow. Will see.....

Read the article below from Business Times, do you feel eerie when first glance at the title?

KL bourse faces selldown risks: Credit Suisse
Malaysia’s stock market is vulnerable to “profit-taking” in the short term as the benchmark index is still up 1.6 per cent this year while other Southeast Asian markets have fallen, according to Credit Suisse Group AG.

Muhibbah Engineering (M) Bhd, Wah Seong Corp, SP Setia Bhd, British American Tobacco (Malaysia) Bhd, Telekom Malaysia Bhd, Sime Darby Bhd. and Malayan Banking Bh. are stocks which risk being sold down because they’re “fundamentally weak,” Tan Ting Min, an analyst at Credit Suisse, said in a report today. -- Bloomberg

Will KLCI continue to go down?

KLCI continue to go down today (24/1/11), green first then followed by red all the way until closed. 1542.97 -4.46. Will it be another red day tomorrow ?

As next week is a long holiday for CNY, everybody are in selling mode, sell sell sell.

What to do, most of them sell for ang pow money!

What will happen to KLCI tomorrow? KLCI will be in tight range, and volumn will get thinner but selling will be well absorb (bargain hunting).

Unless US and Europe markets performed badly tonight.

Pray both of them to close in great shape because i also want to sell some for my ang pow money.

What will happen to KLCI today?

With major indexes down yesterday, KLCI will not be spared today. Pull back will continue as today is also Friday.

If KLCI continue to go down, it would be a healthy pull back as the market was in overbought situation last few weeks.

This could be the opportunity to buy back some shares. One of the counter in my radar is PANTECH.

Others like, MPHB, BJCORP and maybe SCOMI.

Things looking up

More words of confident from Transmile. Lets hope there will back to previous glory real soon even though its not going to be an easy task.


Things looking up - by Presenna Nambiar, Business Times.

FINANCIALLY troubled Transmile Group Bhd (7000) may be on the brink of being taken off the stock exchange or worse, be wound up, but for its management, things are finally looking up.

"We have been standing alone for three years ... against all odds, we are standing here today, and we continue to plan to move forward and plan to grow.

"(With the sale of the MD-11s) we have something positive to hold on to ... we'll still take some time ... let's be realistic, it won't be done overnight," Transmile Group Bhd group managing director Liu Tai Shin told selected media in Subang last week.

With the disposal of the four non-revenue-generating MD-11s, Transmile has a fleet of 12 freighter planes, nine Boeing 727s and three Boeing 737s.

Two of its aircraft have been leased out to its Thailand associate K-Mile Air, while the remaining will service its charter and scheduled flights.

"We have a balanced mix of revenue between what we do in leasing and charter and in scheduled cargo for the general public ... which I think is important in this business. Things change very fast, so you need a good balance spread of revenue," Transmile group chief operating officer Robert Hyslop explained.

Last year, Transmile introduced three cargo services a week from Subang to Kuching, Labuan and Bintulu via Changi, Singapore, designed to develop customers in the oil and gas industry, and increased the frequency to its Subang to Hong Kong route.

This year, it plans to introduce Subang-Ho Chi Minh City route, which will carry a mix of oil and gas, and general cargo.

The cargo carrier's main revenue earner is still its courier, air express and postal business.

It services clients such as Air Hong Kong, DHL and Gading Sari Aviation, which is part of the Pos Malaysia contract, and general freight forwarders.

For the first nine months of the financial year ended December 31 2010, the company recorded a net loss of RM130.1 million due to an impairment loss of RM143.8 million for the MD-11s recognised in the third quarter of the year.

Transmile debt-restructuring proposal?

If these proposal materialized, will it help Transmile to be a profitable company again?

Transmile proposal


Cargo carrier Transmile Group Bhd (7000)plans to offer its bondholders shares or loan stocks under a debt-restructuring plan it has yet to fully present to them.

Its chief financial officer Kam Wai Peng said some haircuts will also be requested as the debt is too huge for its current operations to service.

"If the lenders continue to demand high interest rates and (stick to their) time frame, no, we won't be able to (service the loans), we will look into offering them equity, or some loan stocks ... and some haircuts," Kam told selected media at the company's headquarters in Subang, Selangor, yesterday.

This isn't the first time Transmile will be trying to offer shares in its loans repayment to bondholders. Almost three years ago, the bondholders rejected the proposal, preferring instead cash.

"Hopefully, they are more open to it now," Kam said.
Transmile's outstanding debt obligations to its lenders are RM528.9 million. Yesterday, the first of four MD-11s sold to Federal Express Corp left the company's Subang base.

The sale of the aircraft will help the company pare down debt to about RM320.1 million.

It is still a substantial sum to service considering that Transmile registered an operating profit of only RM3.9 million for the third quarter of the financial year ended December 31 2010 and its shareholders' fund is in the red.

"(This year) we will complete the sale of the MD-11s and hope to get the agreement with the banks settled at least by second quarter, and then we need to focus on the business," managing director Liu Tai Shin said.

The debt-restructuring is only the tip of the iceberg however, as Kam points out that even with the debt-restructuring plan resolved, the company may not be able to comply with certain conditions attached to the regularisation plan required by Bursa Malaysia Bhd.

One of the conditions attached to the regularisation plan is that it needs to generate profits for two consecutive quarters after the plan.

Looking at Transmile's current operations and obligations, it is a difficult condition to meet as the deadline to submit a revamp plan to Bursa is on February 23.

"There are just too many variables at the moment to contend with, everything would impact something else. There is no clear cut answer, whether it is yes or no, or black or white. Certainly, the company will take every step to preserve value and create value, that's what the entire team has been here doing for the last three years," Liu said. - By Presenna Nambiar, btimes.com.my

KLCI closed lower today. How about next week?

KLCI closed 1.67 points lower today, but volumn traded are high 2.1 bil shares, worth RM2.5 bil.

The bull is still there, hopefully it will continue to be active for next week.

As CNY is getting closer, market could draw into correction period as the volumn traded was so huge for last few weeks. So it will not be surprise to see market going downtrend for end of next week, as correction come in.

But with US Dollar depreciate further, hopefully foreign investors will buy in more Malaysian equity and pushing KLCI in a stable range.

RM8b mega project in Jalan Ipoh?

The land definitely a good buy for Boustead. Location is good and low in density.

If the project materialized it will boast Boustead account. It will also transformed the usual quiet Jalan Ipoh into a busy and crowded area.

With limited spaces in Jalan Ipoh, definitely it will bring plenty of opportunity to the area and community.

Boustead in talks to buy army base land for RM8b project

Boustead Holdings Bhd (2771) may build mixed commercial and residential properties worth more than RM8 billion on the 98ha Batu Cantonment army base at Jalan Ipoh, Kuala Lumpur.

The group's main shareholder Lembaga Tabung Angkatan Tentera (LTAT), which holds a 59 per cent stake, is in talks with the government to buy the land and is close to sealing the deal.

Boustead deputy chairman and group managing director Tan Sri Lodin Wok Kamaruddin is hopeful that it will be involved in the land development.

"Hopefully the deal could be secured soon. Everyone is working hard to make it happen. If LTAT can buy the land, we will do a feasibility study to decide on the most viable properties to build," he said.


"It is a good site for a mixed development. It would be the kind of project that one would want to pursue on this prime land," Lodin told Business Times.
He said Boustead may build medium to high-end houses, commercial and residential towers, shophouses, small office/home office and a mall.

The government is selling some of its prized land bank around Kuala Lumpur and the Klang Valley at current market value for redevelopment.

These include the Batu Cantonment land, 24ha at Jalan Cochrane, the 1,320ha Rubber Research Institute land in Sungai Buloh, and smaller parcels at Jalan Stonor, Brickfields, and Bukit Ledang, off Jalan Duta.

It is unclear how much the Batu Cantonment land is worth but according to Previn Singhe, founder and chief executive officer of Zerin Properties, the market value for unconverted land at Jalan Ipoh is now between RM40 and RM80 per sq ft.

Previn said the development will attract foreign investments as it is closely located near the KLCC.

"The shear size of the development offers a lot of promises. Prices of real estate along Jalan Ipoh have always been stable with good movement ... it's not as docile as how one thinks.

"This project will have a positive impact on Jalan Ipoh if done well and if the developer can tap on the commuter line nearby, and the proposed Kepong-Kajang line," Previn said.

The Batu Cantonment army base, which has been there for over 40 years, will be relocated.

In 2002, the Perak state government had earmarked a 680ha site in Batu Gajah for the relocation.- By Sharen Kaur, btimes.com.my.

Fantastic ! Another day, another record for BursaMalaysia or FBMKLCI.

Is Tenaga attractive at current price? Huh, probably will buy some tomorrow......
