The sharp share price drop occurred in mid 2021 due to Fed rate hike fears after inflation data. From then until 2023, I think tech companies posted strong QR boosted by the favourable USD/RM rate despite in a bearish stock market. RM then gradually recovered, but events like wars and recent trade war have created uncertainty. Strong RM will have very strong impact on tech companies too. Thats why if sales revenue can stays strong, I dont think the situation is as bad as it looks. Good luck guys
Give it another week, fibo. It's 50-50 chance of a Dec rate cut as I saw it earlier in the morning. 3 weeks before the Fed meeting in Dec. Need over 90% going into the week of the meeting to have a good chance. At least 70% for market to react in the positive direction.
Dec rate cut chance dipped to below 40%. Market sentiment for US techs will not be good :) But it is also an opportunity as some of the big names in Nasdaq have pullback quite a bit :)
Cheng you are very positive. But this counter for me need to have patience to wait for another 2-3 years only for harvesting, but depends on KLCI also because KLCI is very weak compared to other markets lolz
True, Alan. KLSE is mostly driven by sentiments and thematic; valuation does not matter until it matters most if you will. All is well as long as we are being mindful/aware of the nature of KLSE and risk management in placed.
Recession? Unlikely at the moment. Well, there are lots of media news of AI bubble recently. That's not new and will continue to see that. Overall economic indicators have yet to show any signs of US recession yet - https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/RECPROUSM156N
Cheng, US rate cut may boost but ringgit seems strong now which will definitely affect their next QR. But there should be a team to push the share price upwards again for sure, may take some times to reach 5th floor again though.
In bursa people always said just wait next year lolz. Those who chased gloves stock after COVID and hope for next year all...
and KLCI index people also keep said next year 1800 since 2021 I think lolz
I can understand where the boss's confidence came from based on latest qtr results - overall trajectory in 2025 is still upward if you will. May not be meeting Mr. Market's qoq expectation perhaps.
I like the part from Adama which mentioned the game is tilted towards big boys and insiders. They have the resources that retailers do not have. Never all in no matter how attractive it is given such setup.
KUALA LUMPUR: Foreign investors were the largest net sellers on Bursa Malaysia last week, with year-to-date (YTD) net outflows surpassing RM20 billion, according to CIMB Securities Sdn Bhd.
