The low-down on the problems at Asia Media

ASIA Media Group (AMG) is likely to be in the spotlight for the near term, with the appointment of legal advisers and forensic auditors at the company. According to AMG’s announcement to Bursa Malaysia, it had appointed law firm Krish Maniam & Co “to investigate the possibility of losses caused by certain individuals with decision-making powers prior to the entry of the current board of directors. Essentially, the review is linked to the write-downs and depreciation of the company’s assets and their whereabouts that directly and/or indirectly led to the current impairment and write-downs”. AMG has estimated an initial RM103.2 million in impairment losses, which is sizeable considering that its market capitalisation at last Thursday’s close of 15 sen was only RM35.92 million.

CGS-CIMB: Sectors to watch out for come 2021

KUALA LUMPUR (Dec 17): CGS-CIMB has overweight ratings on bank, healthcare, gaming, oil and gas, electronics manufacturing services (EMS), media and rubber gloves sectors, and underweight ratings on chemicals and transport. The research house said in a report that it likes the bank, gaming, oil and gas, EMS and media sectors for exposure to a recovering economy post-Covid-19. “We continue to like the gloves sector, as it is expected to deliver record earnings in 2021 due to strong demand for gloves following the Covid-19 outbreak. “However, as we had cautioned earlier, the key risk is that the rubber gloves is now a crowded trade given its stellar share price performance in 9M20 (first nine months of 2020). This, coupled with concerns over the treatment of its workers and potential new capacities coming on stream, has led investors to rotate out of the gloves sector into banks,” it said.

LSK and CUCKOO mattress collaboration

(LSK) seems to have come to life in recent weeks. Since late October, the stock has added 27 sen or almost 50% to its stock price. On Thursday, CIMB Research upped its target price for the stock to RM1.60, indicating a significant 95% upside from its current price. The research house said that LSK was driven by the defensive nature of its business, attractive valuation of 10.5 times price-earnings (PE) multiple for 2021, a net cash position of RM13.8mil and appealling dividend yields of 3.3% to 7.4%. A good insight into changes going on at LSK came from its announcement this week of a collaboration with CUCKOO International (MAL) Sdn Bhd.
