If you are a tech company, being winners for many years may not be enough to have a sustainable future. Just think of Nokia, Yahoo and Blackberry and you can understand what I mean.
In the Bursa Malaysia context, we are seeing this playing out for Globetronics. The company was founded in the 1990s and for the first 2 decades, it was considered a fundamentally sound stock with good returns. Unfortunately the company experienced declin...

The performance of Bursa banking group Affin over the past 12 year was nothing to shout about. Its performance, measured against a panel of 10 Bursa Malaysia banks, is below the sector median across key metrics such as returns, efficiency, and loan performance. However, it has improved its capital adequacy ratio.
But I would not consider Affin a value trap as it remains profitable with a margin of safety over 30% based on the asset value. ...

Bursa MNRB is a leading provider of reinsurance and retakaful as well as takaful. You would have thought that with a captive reinsurnance market and being a poineer in the takaful sector, it would be a roaring success.
While MNRB had been able to grow its revenue at 5.2% over the past decade, PAT only grew at about half the rate. When I compared MNRB's performance with those of the other Bursa insurance companies, I found that it is at best just below the panel ...

You would have thought that with the growth of online business, the fortunes of distribution companies like Bursa Malaysia Harrisons would be distrupted. But over the past decade, Harrisons revenue grew at 5% CAGR with its profits growth at 8% CAGR.
Harrisons main distribution business is in Sabah and Sarawak. I suspect that because these states are less developed, the last mile service critical to online business is not so well developed. ...

Bursa FM Global Logistics suffered in 2023 due to plummeting freight rates. But there seem to be a rate recovery in 2024. With its established market position, diversified operations, and strong financial base, the company should be able to capitalize on this and turnaround FMGL’s current valuation metrics suggest that the stock is undervalued from a cigar-butt investment perspective.

Daniel Kahneman made famous the concept of the base rate fallacy. When presented with both historical or statistical information and those which is specific to an event, we tend to ignore the historical/statistical one.
I worry that we are going to see this play out for Engtex. This is a cyclical company whose performance is linked to steel prices. So in valuing Engtex we should be looking at its performance over the steel cycle. On such a basis its ...
