Yes, it has an impact BUT if you read the last quarterlies on the SEGMENTAL reporting you should be able to see.
1. When did profits started improving for Hevea...
http://klse.i3investor.com/servlets/staticfile/223900.jspgo to segmental...
keep track on partical boards and RTA profits...
2. See the next quarterly...
http://klse.i3investor.com/servlets/staticfile/229175.jspThe profit before tax reported for this period was RM1.29 million as compared to loss before tax of
RM0.35 million, an increase of RM1.64 million or 472%. This was achieved despite an unrealized
exchange loss of
RM4.68 million in this reporting period as compared to an unrealized exchange
gain of RM4.49 million in the corresponding period in 2012. The unrealized exchange gain or losses
arises from the translation of the USD denominated loan
compare to the one I posted earlier.... (ie
http://klse.i3investor.com/servlets/staticfile/262473.jsp )
what did you notice?
the exchange loss decreased from 4.68 million to 2.97 million (last quarter)
correct me if I am not correct....
cos that info would have suggested that exchange losses DECREASED despite the STRENGTHENING USD.
correct?
and the next few quarterlies tells the same tale...
Profits increased more and more....
and mind you... this as we know.... is on the back of a strengthening USD.....
so I might be wrong again....
but it suggests to me...
that despite the exchange losses, Hevea is able to produce better profits on the back of a strengthening US...
this is my opinion laaa...
and if take the time and compare...
there is one huge significant difference...
which is..........................?
The RTA business slumped..... almost half the profit...
BUT....
the particle board business.....
has now jumped from losses to 7.6 million profit.
that's the marked difference...
now... particle boards... (yeah... I know.... not exactly the same... ie particle board , chipboard and fibre board is not same)
where the happy family?
what other 'board' stock is listed?
Evergreen and Mieco.
Look at the recent profits trend?
what is it suggesting?
my 3 sen opinion la...
and please I hope no dumb dumb will so irritating and turn my 3 sen opinions as stock tips.

good point. thanks abg boon for the pointer. will go study the reports and other board stocks you mentioned.
