A Walk in the Park with Cypark Resources Berhad (5184)

Lately, I have been searching for a company which has good profit margins, a business model which is non-conventional (i.e., not manufacturing, banking, plantation, and trading in nature), and resilient to external market shocks. I hope I have found the right company! This week I will be looking at Cypark Resources Berhad (5184). Cypark is a company that is involved with the provision of environmental solutions. It has 4 main business segments which are: 1. Environmental engineering: Provision of nature conservation and environmental improvement services. 2.

Technical Analysis Review: FBMKLCI Review (21/4/2018)

It has been some time since I last blogged about the markets. So far, I have been accurate about the markets. Do check out my previous review of the FBMKLCI. 

 The index staged a breakout on April 19, 2018, to close on a high of 1,895.18; its highest since July 2014 when it closed around 1,890 points. Note that it has been about 4 years since it last closed above 1,890 points. 

 What are the probable possibilities?
In my opinion, there are three possibilities: 
1. The market stages a false breakout and then moves lower to 1,810 points.
2. This is a genuine breakout, prices hold above 1,880 points, and continues moving higher.
3. Prices retrace below 1,880 to around 1,860 or 1,835 points; prices then consolidate for some time. 

 It should be noted that market momentum was bullish for the past 3 weeks from 8 to April 19 as prices rallied continuously. 

 Chart 1: FBMKLCI Chart as of April 20, 2018



Bullish momentum to carry on?
I cannot deny what I see as the chart tells me that bullish momentum can still carry on. Other than that, another bullish sentiment factor is the upcoming General Elections on May 9, 2018. 

 Despite the bearish business atmosphere due to global political risks -- Syrian war and the possibilities of a trade war between China and US, the FBMKLCI has been surprisingly bullish.  

 Key Support Levels:
S1: 1,880 
S2: 1,860
S3: 1,835
S4: 1,810

 Final thoughts
Having an overall picture of the charts gives us an idea of the FBMKLCI's sentiment: Bullish in a bearish environment. 

 If prices close below 1,880, investors should be cautious as the possibility of a correction happening is likely. Investors are advised to tread with caution.

Apollo Food Holdings Bhd (6432)

Is investing in Apollo Food Holdings Berhad (6432) a secure and risk-free investment? If you are not sure what Apollo Food Holdings does, you would at least have come across its products in your childhood. Do these snacks below ring a bell? Who would have thought that this company is listed on the Malaysian Stock Exchange? Based on the BCG growth share matrix, Apollo Food is categorized as a “cash cow.” Milking cash from its day-to-day operations. There has not been much excitement in its share price; it has been in a trading range of RM4.50 – RM6.00 for over 2 years. This stock will ultimately disappoint investors who are seeking growth companies with quick capital appreciation. However, those who are seeking a safe haven for their capital, or intend to protect their capital may consider this stock in their portfolio. To invest in Apollo, an investor ought to look at a longer time horizon. Hence, I will be looking at a time frame of 5 years. Chart 1: Key Financial and Investment Stat...

Zhulian Corporation Berhad (5131) -- Follow-up review (21/7/2018)

This is a follow-up review of my previous post on Zhulian back on February 2, 2018. Previously, I opined that this counter should begin to consolidate after a significant price retracement as it had been trading close to its Net Assets per share price of around RM1.30. Six months after my previous review and it seems like its share price has started to consolidate. My last post was based on the financial results of Q4 2017. The company has since released the financial results for 2 quarters. Based on its latest financial results, there seems to be some improvement in its profit after tax margin. Profit after tax in Q2 2018 was about RM12 million, was higher than Q1 2018 and Q4 2017, but generally lower than PAT in 2017, see Table 1: Quarterly Financial Results of Zhulian.  It has been reporting the same story in its quarterly reports that its decline in revenue was due to a drop in sales in its Thai business operations. Cumulatively, its financials fared much worse, see ...
