RGTBHD (9954), the newly discovered Covid-19 thematic play [$$bill]


Covid-19 has created a new normal with people now having to live a more hygienic lifestyle.


Companies around the world (shopping malls, offices, factories, etc.) are following suit with this new normal by installing hygiene care products such as sanitiser dispensers and hand soap dispensers.


RGT Bhd (9954, not RGTECH) latest 3Q quarterly report (announced 19 May 2020) shows that it is set to benefit from this new normal:

RGT Bhd’s Rapid Growth Technology Sdn Bhd is already an established front runner in these hygiene care products.


Rapid Growth Technology makes those products for its key customer Newell Brands Inc, which owns Rubbermaid Commercial Products:

The hygiene care products that RGT makes:

RGT has a good and long standing relationship with that key client.

RGT acquired 60% of Rapid Growth Technology in May 2018 and is currently in the final stages of acquiring the remaining 40% stake. This would allow RGT to fully consolidate the profits.



Medical devices

Another interesting angle with RGT is its venture into the medical device industry, a favourable and hot sector amid the current Covid-19 pandemic.

RGT looks ready to bank on these antidote injection devices for a US customer (Read: https://www.thestar.com.my/business/business-news/2019/11/25/rgt-to-spend-rm20mil-on-plant-expansion)


This somehow brings back memories of Supercomnet Technologies (Scomnet), which is now seeing good fortunes from its medical segment.


RGT’s capacity expansion into medical is in progress with its recent 57k sq ft land acquisition situated next to its existing factory in Bukit Mertajam, Penang (https://www.bursamalaysia.com/market_information/announcements/company_announcement/announcement_details?ann_id=3020091)


This should auger well for RGT's future growth.



Fundamentally decent


Rapid Growth Tech is actually quite a fundamentally sound company. In FY2019 ended June, it had strong balance sheet with RM21.3mil cash against RM5.95mil debt. Also, net profit margin and cash flow from operations are decent.

Likewise, RGT Bhd latest balance sheet is good too with cash of RM29.3mil and total borrowings of RM3.8mil. That’s a net cash of RM25.5mil which is attractive relative to its RM100+mil market cap.


All in all, RGT Bhd is an interesting stock to monitor especially amid the new normal.

Focus Point (0157) – A strong recovery stock riding on the success of FamilyMart and MORE Most people think Focus Point (FocusP) is a boring stock with an optical business. They’re wrong… FocusP is the next F&B growth stock to keep an eye on. FocusP F&B business can be categorised into two divisions: 1. Komugi bakery outlets 2.  Komugi corporate sales Investors need to  focus on  Komugi corporate sales  division as this will be the growth driver.   FocusP struck  gold   after its Komugi  central kitchen  was  certified  Halal   in Jan 2018. Since then, it has scored big with corporate customers like  FamilyMart . And there will be more big corporate customers soon once the new central kitchen starts in Dec 2020. Many are unaware that  several hot selling delicious goodies  on FamilyMart’s shelves are  made and supplied by Komugi . Just check the label and you will see that they are  manufactured...

SARAWAK PLANTATION (SWKPLNT) – a  horse  with latent potential + the right  jockey  = a  CHAMPION racehorse Stock symbol: SWKPLNT (5135) Stock price: RM1.99 Market cap: RM555.27mil Shares outstanding: 279.03mil Part 1: A horse with huge latent potential CPO prices have been bullish, recently breaching the RM4,000/tonne mark for the 2 nd  time in 3 months. A number of positive factors will continue to drive and support CPO prices. But why are most plantation stocks not rallying? That’s because they are trading at  expensive  valuations of around 30x P/E with low production growth of only of 3-6%, while some even have negative production growth. However, there is an  exception … One  rare  species. One with  double-digit   production growth  and an  attractive   single-digit   P/E . This jewel is little-known  Sarawak Plantation Bhd (SPB) , an  undervalued  company with  explosive earn...

The SUPERNOVA of STAR MEDIA (6084): A Burst of Earnings?

-

Star Media, once a shining star in the newspaper industry, now faces the inevitable fate of a sunset business. The dawn of digital media has cast a long shadow over traditional print newspapers, and The Star is no exception. But like a star in its final moments, there will be one last burst of light before it fades into obscurity — a phenomenon known as a supernova. The recent move by Star Media to hike cover prices for its physical newspaper by 50% from RM2 to RM3, could potentially lead to a significant increase in earnings. While more recent data is not available, for 2H2018, The Star had an average of 151,623 paid printed copies in circulation per publication day (audited and verified by the Audit Bureau of Circulations). Assuming that The Star’s print circulation has now decreased by half to 75k per day, this would still equate to about 27 mil copies per year. A RM1 increase in cover price could potentially result in a boost of RM27m flowing directly to its bottom line. Assuming a...
