IS HENGYUAN WORTH THE WAIT FOR A BIGGER AND BETTER RESULT IN THE NEXT 3 MONTHS?

For latest information, can join us at


Today HENGYUAN had released its quarterly result for the financial performance period of OCT - DEC 2021.

During that period, the crack spread of MOGAS 92 BRENT is averaging at USD 9 to USD 10.



The profit estimation back then from my calculation is around RM 175 million.

As per the official result, the profit is almost RM 180 million.

So moving forward, it is important to know whether HENGYUAN is worth for the next wait on the bigger pie of profit or you are just going to sell it off.

My previous estimation is based on crack spread average of USD 9.

According to the moving price chart, I can foresee that Q1 2022 average crack spread can be lingering around USD 12 to USD 13. Let's take USD 12.50 as a point of calculation.



Crack spread rate of USD 12.5 is approximately an appreciation of 39% from previous average of USD 9.

So most probably next coming quarter can expect earning per share around 80 cents to 85 cents.

I believe next quarter can be seeing HENGYUAN start to give huge dividend to the shareholder again.


HENGYUAN will most likely challenge RM 5 in the immediate term as the resistant line. If the prospect of oil refinery crack spread continue to remain elevated, then the chances of HENGYUAN running above RM 10 will not be a dream too big.

So it will be the investor decision whether it is worth the wait for them to see the bigger piece of prize.

HENGYUAN IS ON TECHNICAL RETRACEMENT OF AN UPTREND CHART

For latest information, can join us at



With the Russia and Ukraine war going on, energy prices especially in the oil and gas sector continue to stay elevated. Supply chain in the oil and gas sector continue to see higher margin with the higher energy commodities prices.

I would suppose that this will be the same for oil refinery company.

PETRONM had report the quarterly report with positive EPS that had shown the recovery of the oil refinery sector.


As you can see, PETRONM result is very good with EPS 22.4 and even giving out 20 cents dividend for the share holder.


HENGYUAN is going to report the quarterly report later today on 28 FEB 2022 after market hour.

Currently, the share price is on the uptrend, but sitting towards the support line of the uptrend.



I do not hold any insider information about the upcoming result of HENGYUAN.

However, with the positive oil price environment, and also a big margin in crack spread in oil refinery, it should be giving a good profit.

At the current price below RM 4.30 on technical retracement, do you think it is a good point to average down? enter into new position? add your investmet position?

IT IS THE TIME FOR HENGYUAN TO DRIVE A NOTCH HIGHER WITH RISING CRACK SPREAD

For latest information, can join us at



HENGYUAN REFINING COMPANY BERHAD (HENGYUAN - 4324) will be reporting it's quarterly report in a few days time.

With the rising crack spread margin in the overall industry, it will be safe to say that oil refinery company should be making a profit from their services as the margin enable them for a profit.


Above is the Singapore MOGAS 92 UNLEADED BRENT CRACK SPREAD FUTURES.

The crack spread trading almost to an all time high. The margin is sufficient enough for the company to report very high profit.

As you can see from past historical record, the current price can be considered at the high zone which can delivery promising profit to refinery company.




While every refinery company have their own fixed cost and overhead, HENGYUAN did delivery some stunning record profit back then which had sent the share price over to more than RM 20 per share.



As HENGYUAN price chart movement had finally broken away from the long term downtrend, the current uptrend in 2022 had just started, backed with high crack spread margin for the share to appreciate more when the company delivery the profit.

I do not possess any insider information on HENGYUAN coming quarter report. I got no idea if HENGYUAN can be reporting a big profit, or a big loss again. Technically speaking, it should be able to give a report back to the black. As a normal retail investor, I am still holding this share as prospect of the refinery margin improves.

PUNCAK to be lifted with speculation on MRT3 and high palm oil prices

For latest information, can join us at



One of the coming excitement for the construction player in 2022 will be tender of MRT 3 related projects. With estimation as high as RM 40 billion for the whole project, investor can expect a mixture of old players in the previous MRT 1 and 2 with a slew of potential new players into the segment.

Here, I will highlight the potential new player that could come into the tender of MRT 3 - Puncak Niaga Holdings Berhad (Puncak - 6807)

With the disposal of water asset to Air Selangor for RM 1.5 billion in 2016, the company had hunt for new asset with the cash load.

The 2 significant new portfolio added into Puncak is as below

1. Purchase of TRIPLC construction firm for RM 210 million in 2016 to boost the firm construction capabilities.


2. Purchase of Shin Yang's oil palm unit in Sarawak for RM 446 million.


Now looking back at the move to purchase these asset back then, it had proven to be a good and strategic move from PUNCAK to acquire such in order to penetrate into new market.


With expectation that MRT 3 tender for civil works to be out at Q2 2022, could we be seeing PUNCAK as one of the new player in the basket as they leverage their construction prowess through the acquisition of TRIPLC back in 2016.

Beside that, it should be noticeable that PUNCAK 90% owned plantation unit is also able to enjoy a higher return from ALL TIME HIGH FCPO prices.



With so much positive news for PUNCAK in 2022, it would give a positive momentum for the company share to move upwards. 

As the company share price had hit the long term resistant, can PUNCAK successfully break above the resistant line and give an upward rally?


The next few days will determine for PUNCAK chart trending. With hopeful news on MRT 3 and all time high palm oil prices, this will bring towards an upwards rally for PUNCAK, which is trading way below is NTA of RM 2.92

Current listed company that are contract manufacturer to Dyson are ATAIMS, VS Industry and SKPRES and a few other unlisted entities. With ATAIMS going off the line, there will be a contract of almost USD 1 billion looking for new supplier. Who will be the potential party to get a piece of the cake?

VIS a VIS - MELAKA HOMEGROWN SEMICONDUCTOR PLAYER VIS TO MAKE IT BIG IN 2022

For latest information, can join us at



Today I want to share about a potential semiconductor company that you might not heard before - VISDYNAMICS HOLDINGS BERHAD (VIS - 0120)

This MELAKA based company could be one of the uprising potential in 2022 as the growing demand in the semiconductor sector continue to see supply not able to cope with demand.


As you can see, when we think of semiconductor IT company, usually we will think about Penang. Penang is a house to big local player such as Vitrox, Pentamaster, MMSV and etc. 

But actually, Melaka is also a place where prominent semiconductor electronic player gathers around.


Melaka have prominent MNC player which are servicing the automotive industry such as INFINEON, DOMINANT OPTO, POSSEHL ELECTRONICS and others.


VIS is a key supplier to some of this prominent MNC which supplies IC and Chips to automotive industry and digital electronic good. Among them will be customer such as INFINEON TECHNOLOGIES which is planning to ramp up more production of chips.


According to news report, INFINEON will need to ramp up production to cater for the demand of the chip in the automotive sector. The share price of INFINEON had been on the rise as chip shortage push up prices.


The management at VIS had foresee that demand will pent up more as more usage of electronic will be needed in electric vehicle. The company had in November 2020 purchased 3 pieces of land in Melaka to expand their research and development as well as production.

The plant will be slated to be operational at mid of 2022, which will be looking to contribute to the financial performance of the company.


IS VIS STILL ATTRACTIVE DESPITE SHARE PRICE AROUND RM 1.50 ?


There are several reason to see VIS having more potential upside at the current market price

1. With 174.5 million shares issued, at the current price of RM 1.50, VIS market capitalization is just RM 263 million. There are plenty of upside as the company growth prospect is bright and demand of it's product are needed more and more. A well performing semiconductor company can easily ace into RM 1 billion market capitalization.


2. VIS can transfer listing into the main market with the current performance, which will open up more fund house / unit trust to invest into the company.

3. VIS current share base of 174.5 million can be candidate of bonus issue in the future.

4. The unique product that VIS offer can give an operation gross margin of 50% which is very high and lucrative. With the expansion completion in 2022, should VIS can score RM 100million in revenue, we can expect RM 50 million in gross profit margin. 


I tend to believe that if key customer continue to place more order with VIS for it's product, they will also buy the shares of VIS which will see VIS share price heading higher. This will be a win win situation for the customer and for VIS in a whole.

Hengyuan Refining is at the right timing to capture the market boom on oil refining with big double digit margin in overall industry

For latest information, can join us at



Oil price are rallying high, and will be expected to go higher. Oil refinery margins are going higher as the northern hemisphere of the earth enter into winter season.

With LNG gas at a tight supply and elevated high price, fossil oil had came into the picture. The reopening of the global economy after a series of Covid19 lockdown measure also continue to draw down on oil reserve in the US and China.

As an investor, what is there for you to capture the shifting of energy prices?

Hengyuan Refining Company Berhad (HENGYUAN - 4324) might be one of your consideration if you are looking to expose your investment in the oil and gas sector.

The pandemic from Covid19 had make prices very volatile, and had damage the demand of oil previously, hammering refinery margin into a tight spot. However, a series of global event had ensure that refinery company will be enjoying sweet margin at least for the next 6 months.

Source news from REUTERS

According to the news, refinery margin in Asia are hitting above USD 8 per barrel

Excerpt taken from the source news

REFINING MARGINS

Singapore complex refining margins, a proxy for refiner profitability in top oil consuming region Asia, hit their highest since September 2019 above $8 a barrel this month.

The margins had turned negative last year, plumbing a record low in May, as the pandemic eroded demand.

In Northwest Europe, refining margins topped $9 last week, the highest since April 2020, while U.S. Gulf Coast refining margins are currently around $14, up nearly three-fold from the same period a year ago, Refinitiv Eikon data shows.



Why Hengyuan refining will be all out in the balance month of 2021?

1. Demand for oil increase (transportation fuel - diesel, petrol)
2. Coal and natural gas supply crunch lead to higher price, power plant shift to oil as input to produce power.
3. Winter season in northern hemisphere of the earth
4. Hurricane Ida damage oil refinery capacity at US
5. Hengyuan to maximize refinery production before entering Year 2022 to save on Malaysian imposed prosperity tax for Year of Assessment 2022





The current price range had indicated that Hengyuan is rested at support line from the uptrend movement.

Technical rebound on the up trending line will potential see Hengyuan trading at RM 5.50. The uptrend movement is supported with brighter oil and gas investment sentiment. Fundamentally, it is backed with good refinery margin. Prospect of Hengyuan going for a big gain is very high.

The current price range below RM 4.30 will be a strategic entry to invest into Hengyuan to benefit from the booming refinery business.



HOW MUCH CAN HENGYUAN MAKE FROM THIS OIL REFINERY BOOM???

According to data, Hengyuan refinery capacity is 156000 barrel a day


Let's take refinery margin for HENGYUAN AT USD 9 per barrel.

156000 barrel x USD 9 x RM 4.15 (conversion) x 30 days = RM 174.8 million

Since we can expect the refinery margin to last for at least the coming 6 months, HENGYUAN POTENTIAL GROSS MARGIN EARNING for next 6 month can be as high as RM 1.05 billion.

That will be looking at a potential of 50 cents earning each for the next 2 quarters.

At the current price which is below RM 4.30, Hengyuan definitely look very attractive especially with the rising demand of oil and better oil refinery margin in play.
