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. Landscaping and infrastructure: Provision of landscape services, project management services, and infrastructure development. 3. Maintenance: Provision of specialist maintenance works on leachate treatment plants, landscape services for parks, and maintenance of public amenities. 4. Green technology & renewable energy: Solar panel, biogas, biomass, waste-to-energy, and other renewable energy project

Technical Analysis Review: FBMKLCI 21/10/2017

The FBMKLCI has been depressed lately. Looking at the chart below, it makes me feel uneasy.
Charting the FBMKLCI is more for determining the overall market sentiment, and may have no relation to individual stocks.
Picture 1: FBMKLCI - Key Support / Resistance Levels

Market sentiment has been bearish. This is evident by the string of black candles in the past 2 weeks. Sentiment became more bearish as the week progressed as the index made 4 consecutive lower closes towards the end of the week. On Friday, October 20, 2017, the market closed at 1,740.65 - immediate support level.

A brief back ground on the bearish trend
On October 9, once prices failed to rally above resistance at 1,766 - zone of price rejection, prices immediately turned south. Prices broke below key support level of 1,752.

Based on the current trend, the bear trend will most likely resume until it finds support. Currently, the index is trading at its immediate support of 1,742 / 1,741.

Key support levels
If the support level of 1,742/1,741 fails to hold, further downside is expected. I expect the next support level to be at 1,731. The MACD is looking bearish, and the down trend seems to be persisting until it reaches its support; hopefully, the down trend in the index will be halted at its immediate support level of 1,742 / 1741.

Listed below are the Key Support and Resistance levels based on Fibonacci levels:

Key Support:
S1: 1,742
S2: 1,736
S3: 1,731

Key Resistance:
R1: 1,752
R2: 1,760
R3: 1,767

Final thoughts
The chart above resonates with bearish sentiment. As we know, the FBMKLCI tracks 30 companies. Hence, selective stock picking is essential during this time.

Personally, I will be staying at the sidelines looking for an opportunity when things are bearish.

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 Tabl

Technical Analysis Review: Hiap Teck Venture Bhd (5072) - 12/11/2017

I recently found out about this company -- Hiap Teck Venture Bhd (5072) -- through a friend of mine, and I thought I should take a look at it. I have not performed my fundamental analysis on this company yet, but I wanted to write about my observations on the price action of this company.  Based on a surface level review of its financials, I noted that its joint venture company -- Eastern Steel Sdn Bhd -- recorded an impairment loss on its property, plant and equipment of about RM 266 million in its latest Q4 2017 financial result that was announced on September 28, 2017. As Hiap Teck's interest in the joint venture company was 55%, its share of losses from Eastern Steel was roughly RM 155 million. See Picture 1 below on the summary of its quarterly results: Picture 1: Summary Hiap Teck's Quarterly Results (Source: i3investor) Technical Analysis Review of its Share Price Picture 2: Price Chart of Hiap Teck Based on my observations of the price chart

Bison Charging Ahead !

Bison Consolidated Berhad (5275) is a dynamic convenience store company listed on the Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange (KLSE). It has grown many folds since it first opened its myNEWS.com store in 1996. 11 years later, it has opened about 300 stores in Malaysia. In 2012, Bison entered into a joint venture with WH Smith Travel Limited to operate WH Smith news, books, travel and convenience stores in Malaysia. My first impression about the convenience store business was that this is a saturated market – apparently NOT. The thought of many convenience stores come to mind – 7 Eleven, 99 Speed Mart, KK Super Mart, NZ Magazine Centre, Family Mart, K Mart and etc.. All of the stores aforementioned compete within the convenience retail segment. Picture 1: myNEWS.com in Bangsar LRT Station Picture 2: myNEWS.com in Masjid Jamek LRT Station Since its listing on the KLSE, the share price has surged almost 100% from RM1.10 to RM2.38 in one and a half years. The surge was mainly driven by the growth stor
