Escalating political uncertainties

The FBM KLCI edged lower amid uncertainties surrounding the recent political developments, as well as the Covid-19 pandemic, contributing to the investors staying sidelines. This would result in heightened volatility in the market and traders should turn more cautious over the near term in selecting stocks to trade. On a side note, China’s move to raise export tariffs on some steel materials, and removed rebates on cold-rolled products may exert pressure on the commodities prices as demand continues to rise over the past year.

The FBM KLCI closed mildly positive following the late bargain hunting activities, but gains were capped amid unrelenting Covid-19 cases as well as the recent political developments. Despite daily Covid-19 infection continue to be on the rise amid ramped up testing in Klang Valley, we expect the vaccination rate should brush off negative sentiment and traders may look for recovery opportunities. Also, both the Hang Seng Futures and overnight Wall Street could be due for a technical rebound and may spillover towards stocks on the local front, especially on the tech sector. Commodities wise, CPO price was down as demand were seen slowing down from India and China, while the crude oil extended its gains.

Serba Dinamik Holdings Bhd – 25th Jun 21

The on-going saga that resulted in diminishing of investors’ confidence is expected to see both institutional and retail investors continue to keep their hands off for the time being. Hence, we reiterate our stance to advise investors to steer clear of further position, pending for further clarity from the special independent audit review. Under the prevailing market events, on-going coverage is now impracticable to comply with applicable regulations and hence, we have decided to suspend our coverage on Serba Dinamik. Given the prolonged uncertainties, we have now lowered our valuations metrics and our fair value is RM0.57 (down from RM1.30).

Dour trend may persist

The unabated Covid-19 spread in the country which may lead to further pressure on the economy, coupled with the concerns over the revised nation’s growth projection by World Bank have sent the FBM KLCI lower. Following a heavy selldown, we might anticipate bargain hunting activities to emerge on the local bourse. On a side note, the government has approved the licence and incentives for Risen Energy Co Ltd to manufacture solar cells and solar modules in Malaysia amounting to RM42.2bn, which would make Malaysia an integrated production hub for solar products.

Our last recommendation on Chin Well was HOLD with a fair value at RM1.29. The fair value is derived from ascribing a target PER of 11.0x to its FY22f EPS of 11.7 sen.

With the World Bank cutting Malaysia’s 2021 GDP growth projection amid slower-than-expected economic recovery, the sideways trade is likely to persist without a fresh catalyst under the current economic and public health crisis.
