Press Metal Aluminium Holdings (PMAH MK) - Ongoing Supply Constraints ...
Ongoing Supply Constraints And Falling Raw Material Costs To Fuel 2025 Growth While aluminium demand is likely to remain subdued in the near term, we foresee supply disruptions due to China’s production cap, the removal of VAT rebates and US tariffs. Key growth drivers for PMETAL in 2025 include: a) the commencement of new alumina refineries in Indonesia (Nanshan Aluminium), b) lower alumina input costs, c) the expansion of VAP volume, and d) the ongoing supply constraints in aluminium productio...

Strategy - Opportunities In A Ringgit Resurgence Environment
Opportunities In A Ringgit Resurgence Environment The sharp ringgit appreciation driven by de-dollarisation and thus a broader reallocation of capital toward emerging market currencies support our view of a moderate upside for Malaysian equities. Key beneficiaries include importers and companies with high US dollar debt, while exporters may face margin pressure. While historical parallel suggests temporary trading opportunities, we recommend a tactical trading stance, focusing on value-driven op...

Vertical Expansion And Falling Raw Material Costs Set to Fuel 2025 Growth We expect PMETAL’s growth to resume in 2025, driven by: a) the development of a new alumina refinery in Indonesia to strengthen supply integration; b) lower alumina input costs in 2025; and c) expanding VAP production to improve margins and profitability.

Strategy - Steering Through The Shifts Of A New Global Order
Steering Through The Shifts Of A New Global Order Contrary to the earlier rhetoric hinting at milder blanket tariffs, the actual measures were considerably harsher, particularly to countries with significant trade surpluses. However, the exclusion of the semiconductor and pharmaceutical sectors was a welcome surprise. While this removes an initial overhang, equity risk premium is likely to stay elevated on potential tit-for-tat responses among major economies. Our picks adopt a barbell approach,...
