The gyration in recent 2 days and again on Monday really has to do with retail sales which have weakened. We knew about this when Warren Buffet said so in Berkshire's AGM some time ago.
Oil price then followed suit and now is USD56+ only. The critical figure to look for in KNM is the net profit margin in Q1 09 as sales values got slashed, amortisation of goodwill and intangibles was RM40m plus a year, I think and effective tax may continue to be higher.
KNM will have to depend on lower interest rate, and lower raw material costs to counter the above. EPS will be an interesting figure to watch.
News on substantial contract is next to none since Aug or Oct 08. It will be bad for the share price if annualised EPS for Q1 09 is below 7.5sen. We will see if it will be over or under 7.5sen next week
Oil price meanwhile cannot fall to below USD53. If that happens KNM may move to 65sen, then we can see another round of sai lang among folks in this forum.
Haha, quarterly result is the passed result. Do you think today oil price can affected the report? Also KNM is no selling oil, KNM only provide solutions. The report will only affected by his customer investment in oil equipments.Oil price then followed suit and now is USD56+ only.
