Penta shows signs of bearish engulfing. Not very sure how accurate I am but will definitely collect when next uptrend is signalled. Dated 14/7/2020. Happy Trading everybody :))
Hi Wong, yes you are entitled to the bonus issued shares as long as you have and hold Penta's shares in your account before 4th August. Meaning to say by 3rd August, you must have the shares in your account, and you can sell them thereafter. Hope this clarifies :))
Good morning Red Chilli, I think it should be the closing price of 3rd August x 2/3, meaning to say if it's RM9 when closing on 3rd August, the new price on 4th August will be RM6. Hope it clarifies :))
Hi Yoo , Penta is a fundamentally excellent company , coupled with 5G expected to be introduced at the end of this year, I think it would benefit from it (I may be wrong and inaccurate). If you have extra cash , maybe you can consider ? Sorry I can’t give any buy recommendation . Cheers and have a great week ahead :))
Hi Christy , Frontkn itself is good and as you said, TSMC is being linked with them and I believe it will add sparkling elements to them but as compared to the other technology related counters , I personally would prefer Greatec or Dufu or Penta which has more room to grow. UWC is good too but its price has reached a bottleneck (technically). But different people has different judging criteria, hope this clarifies :))
Friday close market update: Based on the technical aspect, Penta may have another day of correction next Monday, with immediate support at RM6.35. (I may be wrong and inaccurate) In fact, I am actually glad for this wave of correction as it signals a healthy market wave. I am worried if it kept on increased in price. Regardless, we hope for the best before the bonus issue and wishing everyone a great weekend ahead. Cheers :))
Penta just like most of the other technology counters , it follows the fluctuations of US tech counters, do note that this Thursday after the US market closed , most big US tech companies like Amazon , Apple would be announcing their earnings . Likewise Penta too , they may announce earnings in the coming days (I may be wrong and inaccurate). Should the earnings are not up to expectations, I would expect some sell offs which would have a bandwagon effect on Penta . So it’s a bet on the earnings for the moment :))Just my 2 cents
it announce dividend and bonus issues prior quarter report, I am still fifty fifty how to read this action. is it due to report not good so give sugar? or report is good so give sugar?
Good evening Max, no one knows the operator's play. However, looking at Mi's qr, they actually benefited from the China-US trade war, as more companies are diverting operations to SEA. And interestingly, Penta is one of them who resumed operations during the MCO period. That signifies something hey :)) (I may be inaccurate) Let's see how it goes :))
Hi NK, nice meeting you too !! How is trading for you ? All good ? And yep, TSMC surprised me too , and Frontkn is a major beneficiary of that., since I think Christy mentioned about TSMC being Frontkn's customer. :))
Here is a snippet of MI's prospects, quoted from Mr Warren Time's comment section at MI : B3. Prospects for the Financial Year Ending 31 December 2020
2020 is expected to be a challenging year. The intermission or pause created by the pandemic and trade war has given the Mi Technovation Group the opportunity to position itself and build the necessary infrastructure to capture the demand upswing which could be a sharp rebound post‐pandemic. We are clear on our strategy in pursuing long term goals in the direction the market is heading. With both Home 1 and Home 2 completed and our technology centres in Malaysia, Korea and Taiwan operational, we are ready to capture the upswing in the market.
Great to hear that you're doing well :)) I am still waiting for a minor retracement on some second tier glove stocks, missed the opportunity to buy earlier on :)) And yeap, Intel's struggles benefits TSMC as well as gave AMD an edge to overtake
Quick update : The big 4 : Google , Amazon , Apple and Facebook did better than expected during this pandemic , especially so for Amazon who recorded a fantastic earning of 10.30 a share as compared to an estimated 1.50 per share. Apple too recorded a 2.58 per share as compared to the estimated 2.07 a share. This greatly reflects how digitalisation plays a major role in today’s world and how technology is prominent in our day to day life. With that, I’m optimistic about Penta’s result for the coming quarters!! Wishing everybody a great week ahead :))
Good Morning NK, Nasdaq reach its record high of 11153.89 points last night,and it retraced a bit today. However, based on current trend, I felt sky is the limit (I may be wrong and inaccurate). Impressive !! Moreover, global semiconductors manufacturer delivered impressive EPS albeit Covid-19, I am excited for Penta's QR next :)) Cheers and happy trading everybody :))
Wow NK, I didn't notice that trend until I went to work the chart out and realized you're absolutely right !! Do you trade the US markets as well and if you do what platform do you use?
Gavin,sorry for the late reply... usually just off from any market stuff after weekday :)
I haven't started to trade in overseas markets yet. currently still reading and doing research on US and HK market. there are a lot of interesting tech companies in these markets.
Good afternoon NK , thanks for the reply !! Noted on that and yup , HK has Tencent , Alibaba , whereas US has heaps of good technology companies , and with the current trade war between US and China , HK tech stocks like Tencent are attractive to have a position in :)) Shall monitor further !!
And regarding overseas trading I think TDA or Interactive Brokers are more commonly used and are more established as compared to smaller platforms like Etoro. But there’s a bad side to that which is TDA and IB has some forms of brokerage fees as well as inactivity charges :))
Yup I trade both Hong Kong and US market as well , I have position in Meituan , Pingduoduo for HK market , Tencent as well but I’m looking for somemore retracement to add more position for Tencent . Tencent has a diversified business portfolio, and their gaming business has been very profitable lately, China’s lockdown brought upon immense utilisation rate of their games, as well as more and more people are incentivised to purchase the add-ons in their various gaming platforms. And overall , I see shadows of the US markets of the 2000s in the Chinese market , and I believe Chinese markets have much more untap potential !
For US market , the March dip has been a great collection period. It’s a rare opportunity to catch such a dip. I anticipate that with the presidential election coming soon this November there may be another minor dip which I may seek to add more :)) Cheers and have a great day !!
Good evening Steven, undeniably Penta previous QR was not so ideal, partly because of the start of MCO in Malaysia and the outbreak of Covid-19 globally, and as per mentioned by an article in Nanyang, Penta's engineer couldn't make a trip to their overseas customers' place ( places like Taiwan and Singapore). This may affect their operations and earnings and the upcoming QR may possibly also see EPS of smaller magnitude ( I may be wrong) but do note that if you're short term on Penta, then it may be a bad thing for you, however if you goes long on it (which I definitely would), then I would say semiconductor manufacturer like Penta will thrive especially when 5G are expected to be introduced end this year. I personally would top up more on dips like this. And you can take a look at AMD's QR for this season. Indeed some may say you don't compare diamond to silver but from AMD's QR, you can possibly draw some similarities from the details :)) Cheers and have a great one. Uncle K's words and articles need to take it with a twist.
just take Uncle article with a pinch of salt. Reduced in earning in previous QR is just temporary effect. For me, the growth is still intact, more plans and project from the company are in the pipeline. Long term wise, im not worried. haha
to be honest, uncle kyy really good in promoting stocks. hahaha who knows one day he will start promoting penta after collecting enough tickets ahhaahha
Agree NK , usually he would come out with some blog posts to instill fear among retail investors, made them to panic sell so he can collect at a cheap price. We shall see how it goes hahaha :))
Shall keep a lookout at his blog posts, sekali one day he come out with a blog saying : I was wrong about my comment on Penta dated 10/8/2020 blah blah blah
he will say this
"I was wrong after reading and analysing Penta. Therefore, I had bought XXXXX amount of penta at rmXXX during this morning sell down. You can confirm this with my XXX bank remisier. Disclaimer: this is not a buy or sell call. I'm not obligated to inform blabkabla bla"
Good afternoon NK, that's Uncle K's usual style hahahahha :)) In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if he does come out with a new blog thread regarding this :)
Uncle K starts to saying Russian vaccine failed phase 3 where there is still not yet any news around the globe reporting the failure of Russian vaccine on phase 3. Possibly Uncle K wants to sell stock ady.
Hi Kidz, there's possibility that maybe he wants to offload some of his position. I felt that some of the blog posts he wrote has some underlying motive behind it ( I may be wrong and inaccurate). But undeniably, he's one of the smart investor cum trader in BURSA :))
Good morning NK , looking forward to see how the GDP of our country fare, hope it doesn’t fare badly. Singapore, Australia released theirs and it was their worse performance in the past years. This pandemic hit everyone hard :((
Yep Aumingz , there’s a possibility too since our neighbour, Singapore who is so strong in their financial performance in recent years recorded their worse GDP for Q2 this year
Good morning Zzz, today’s like result taking day , with the release of both GDP result and the much anticipated Penta ‘s QR . Penta’s Qr I am not very sure if it’s today , just according to I3investor blog they said it’s today :))
i believe GDP has not much effect on current bursa trading. They just take the chance to wash off all weak traders. If we have the faith on the stock, I dont see there is a point for selling off the stock. No matter how bad is the QR report, Penta will still my favorite pick.
MEDIA STATEMENT
MALAYSIA ECONOMIC PERFORMANCE IN THE SECOND QUARTER OF 2020
*GDP contracted 17.1 per cent* in the second quarter of 2020
PUTRAJAYA, 14 August 2020 – The Department of Statistics, Malaysia released the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) for the second quarter of 2020 (Q2 2020), which presents the overall performance of Malaysia’s economy.
Malaysia’s GDP contracted 17.1 per cent from a marginal growth of 0.7 per cent in the first quarter of 2020. The performance for this quarter was the lowest recorded since the fourth quarter of 1998 (-11.2%). On the production side, all sectors recorded a negative growth with the exception for Agriculture sector. Services and Manufacturing sectors were recorded a negative 16.2 per cent and 18.3 per cent respectively. Construction sector plummeted 44.5 per cent while Mining & quarrying declined 20.0 per cent. On the demand side, all final demand components declined except for Government final consumption expenditure which recorded a positive growth of 2.3 per cent. Private final consumption expenditure decreased 18.5 per cent, Gross fixed capital formation contracted 28.9 per cent, Exports dropped 21.7 per cent while Imports declined 19.7 per cent.
Prospects : While it remains challenging to anticipate and delve into the unfamiliar world of epidemiology to better understand the impact of the outbreak in the global economy, the Group is expected to stage a positive second half 2020 recovery. Currently, the Group is now back to its current 100% workforce run-rate with an aggressive production ramp up. Additionally, the Group has also resumed cross border travelling for its project site installation, albeit on a more restricted basis.
Against the pervasive uncertainty, the Group continues to witness several growth catalysts driving its business momentum. The demand level from
customers within the telecommunications sector remains robust owing to the Group’s broadening exposure in the optoelectronics ecosystem and 3D sensing technology. With the next wave of smartphone technology encompassing a more complex architecture, such as “behind the Organic Light-Emitting Diode (OLED)” screen know-how for facial authentication, 3-dimensional light detention and ranging (3D LIDAR) on a Direct time-of-flight (DTOF) platform, electromagnetic transmission radio frequency to vertical cavity surface emitting laser (VCSEL), the Group is poised to deepen and widen its engagement with its customers in supplying its highly customised test equipment and solutions to cater for such technology advancements in the telecommunications industry. Meanwhile, the Group’s automotive segment portfolio has broadened with product diversification that covers Silicon Carbide (SiC)-based solutions, insulated-gate bipolar transistor (IGBT), AC/DC power inverter in addition to
the multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCC) assembly and test handling equipment, which is mainly driven by the proliferation of electric vehicle, autonomous driving and the electrification in the car industry.
The recent incorporation of Pentamaster MediQ Sdn. Bhd. (“PDSB”) is a testament to the Group’s strong commitment in expanding its foothold in the ever-growing medical devices segment, post-acquisition of TP Concept Sdn. Bhd.. PDSB, a company which is involved in the designing and manufacturing of single-use medical devices, is to further expand the Group’s involvement in the medical sector and to further strengthen its medical design and manufacturing technology capabilities in the medical industry by leveraging on the Company’s existing platform to position itself for its next level of growth.
Nasdaq broke new high yesterday , with a high of 11316.80, impressive !! Penta as well going back to its 4.50 ish range , could it follow US Nasdaq movements to break its new high hehe :)) Cheers and happy investing everybody :)) Have a great week ahead :))
Klse tech stocks may reflect that soon , because I noticed some similarities that when nasdaq broke new high , klse tech stocks will do pretty well , likewise when there’s some drop , klse tech stocks will bound to retrace as well . Can we see Penta break new high as well hahaha :))
Global technology stocks outperform wider markets
Technology stocks globally continue to outperform major indices amid the pandemic as these technologies may have a long-lasting impact beyond Covid-19.
"Coming into the crisis, the IT sector offered some of the highest-quality businesses and the best balance sheets across the Standard & Poor's 500 index. Specifically, the IT sector was the third most profitable sector in the S&P 500 over the past three years (through June) and one of just three net cash-positive sectors, an elite group that also included the communication services sector," says Curtis.
Yep NK and Warren Buffet is buying a stake in the company. Estimated IPO price around 80 ish +/-... I will study more about it then see if it’s worth investing. But cloud computing software has been quite profitable and in demand in recent years ... Regardless, the catalyst for the purchase would probably be due to Warren Buffett’s move hahahahaha :))
Hi Aumingz, comparatively,Penta is more stable, movement also not of that big magnitude like UWC, but that’s what made it stand out and attractive to me :))
Hi Kit , welcome welcome :)) Nasdaq is up 300++ points as of now 11:35pm. People say Malaysia technology stocks follow US movement but today the converse holds true.
Hi NK , how has your week been ? It has been long:)) how is everything ? And yeap, good closing, and hopefully it can reach 4.90ish soon. From my observation (I may be wrong and inaccurate), Penta is currently undergoing a consolidating phase, but good thing now is that NASDAQ’s retracement doesn’t seem to have any big effect on Malaysia’s technology stocks. How is your portfolio holdings , is there any changes to it ?
Ohh and for snowflake’s IPO , it was mind-blowing , think many were attracted to it due to the fact that Warren Buffet has a stake in it , and their major customers include Amazon , Facebook etc . Share price rose over 105% from its IPO price.
