Trading Ideas: Century Logistics Holdings Bhd (14/11/201)

This week I wanted to take look at Century Logistics Holdings Bhd (7117) to see whether it has any potential investment value. I have never analysed this company in more detail as I had never allocated time to look at it; my loss though. Since rallying to a high of RM 1.40 in June 16, 2017, it retraced to RM 1.03 in September 2017. Ever since then, the company’s share price has been consolidating.

The company is involved with the logistics business, as described by its name – Century Logistics. This analysis is a litmus test to see whether this company warrants more attention. It was noted that on October 31, 2016, the founder and major shareholder, Datuk Richard Phua, had transacted to dispose off his 31.44% stake in Century Logistics to CJ Korea Express Asia Ltd for RM1.45 per share. Its new parent company CJ Logistics Corp is quite a large Korean logistics company with an annual turnover of over USD 4 billion.

Below is a chart of its share price performance for 1 year:

Chart 1: Century Logistics Holdings Bhd Share Price Chart


Below are the quarterly financial results of Century Logistics for the past 10 quarters. The purpose of the charts below are to determine whether were there any growth in the financial results of the company. 

Chart 2: Quarterly Revenue Trend


Chart 3: Quarterly Profit after Tax Trend


Chart 4: Earnings per Share


Based on the graphical view of its profit after tax and earnings per share trend, there has not been much growth. Its share price rallied to a high of RM 1.40 in June 16, 2017. After reporting lower profits in August 2017, its share price retraced to about RM 1. 20 in November 2017. Technically, if there are no improvement in its financials, prices should continue to consolidate.

Technical Analysis Review of its price action


From the price chart, it is noted that price action is quite bearish. The candle on November 14, 2017 closed below its 20-day exponential moving average. It tested its recent high of RM1.18 three times in August, September, and October; prices subsequently failed to rally and close above this price level. The MACD histogram which indicates momentum shows a loss of bullish momentum in the stock; note the bearish crossover of the 9-day signal line on November 13.

Key support and resistance levels:
Support: RM 1.03, RM 0.97
Resistance: RM 1.18, RM 1.30

Conclusion
In my opinion, I would think that investors should look out for more positive news which will materialize into actual profits before committing to this company. 

 Market sentiment has been bearish lately, do check out my review of the FBMKLCI to get a feel of the market direction HERE.

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.

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...
