CONCLUSION (POINTS TO MAKE):
In short, LUXCHEM share price should increase, however the market still hasn’t taken time to fully appreciate and understand LUXCHEM. These are the strengths, benefits and advantages of LUXCHEM based on all these articles:
- MARKET SITUATION AND UNDER-APPRECIATED - It is still a CHEAP, UNDERVALUED, UNDER-APPRECIATED stock which many people miss out and DO NOT REALIZE ITS VALUE DUE TO MARKET SENTIMENT. The share momentum for LUXCHEM exists – it comes and goes just like other common stocks.
- STABLE, CONSISTENT PROFITS FOR THE LAST 10 YEARS – LUXCHEM is an ALL-ROUND PROFIT-MAKING COMPANY. It makes continuous profits (gross/net profits) for every quarter in these 10 years’ time. There is NO LOSSES at all. This means that it is a company with profitability, stability, consistency and reliability.
- HIGHER, ENCOURAGING PROFITS - It has ALREADY EARNED HIGHER (NEAR TO DOUBLE) PROFITS for the latest QR. It is not something that is still unrealized or beyond reach – the money is at hand.
- GOOD, HEALTHY BALANCE SHEET – It has an INTEGRATED, CLEAR AND NICE BALANCE SHEET. Inventories and trade receivables have since reduced. Liabilities are in small amount with low debts. This shows that the company has good skills in managing its assets and liabilities. The company is stable with good equity amount.
- EXCELLENT CASH FLOW, CASH RICH, “CASH COW” – It has wonderful and huge amount of cash. The company is very liquid with sufficient cash money. And the cash flow is increasing. It is a CHEAP “CASH COW” – CASH RICH with advantage in its business.
- OVERBOOKED ORDERS OF GLOVE CHEMICALS – GLOVE CHEMICALS ARE IN HIGH DEMAND and the ORDERS ARE FULLY BOOKED BY NEXT YEAR. This is due to the increased demand in gloves worldwide. Vaccinations need more gloves use. Front liners who have been vaccinated still need to wear gloves, mask and keep social distancing as “double protection” for Covid-19. Vaccinations do not mean that medical staff or workers STOP using protective equipment or tool – this is to protect themselves from the virus.
- INTRINSIC VALUE, HIGH MARGIN OF SAFETY (STILL CHEAP, UNDERVALUED) – It is STILL CHEAP and much undervalued since the market hasn’t truly appreciated it. THE SHARE PRICE (80 CENTS) IS STILL LOW COMPARED TO THE INTRINSIC VALUE (“FAIR PRICE”) AT RM1.34. With this, it has a HIGH Margin of Safety (MOS).
- HIGH PROFIT POTENTIALITY AND GROWTH IN THE COMING YEAR - It will CONTINUE TO EARN CONSISTENT, HIGH PROFITS in the coming quarters. It has BRIGHT FUTURE ahead of time WITH HIGH POTENTIAL. The generating of continuous profits will likely continue. There is a ROOM FOR GROWTH in the coming year. LUXCHEM is a promising company.
We just compare the average, potential Intrinsic Value (RM1.34) to the market price (RM0.80), there is a Margin of Safety (MOS) of RM0.54 with 40.30% potential upside. Remember this - the “fair value” at RM1.34 is a general and average estimate. The price calculated is based on various estimated prices at RM1.17, RM1.27 and RM1.59. In the real market, the highest, peaking (maximum) price can go lower or higher than RM1.34 - it can be any price level. You should consider selling the shares when it is time.
With this, you need to realize that share price is always dynamic and changeable - it is not something fixed or rigid. You cannot have a fixed mentality when it comes to shares trading, as the real world market is “dynamic“ and influenced by various factors. You should have a flexible mindset when it comes to selling price. You need to use your own wisdom to decide when to buy/sell. You have to observe the market sentiment, situation, circumstance, environment as well as events – and act accordingly. You need to UPDATE yourself with the latest, current news so that you know what is going on. This is important.
You should therefore monitor and check the price from time to time in your trading decisions. THE RM1.34 “FAIR VALUE” IS A POINT OF REFERENCE - SERVING AS A GUIDELINE. At 80 cents, LUXCHEM is a stock with good growth.
LUXCHEM is very much cheap, inexpensive, undervalued, unappreciated, ignored and less treasured though it is an excellent, concrete, good, stable and promising stock! Let us see whether Mr. Market would realize this undervalued stock in times to come! LUXCHEM should be a RISING JEWEL TO ANOTHER, NEXT BULL RUN!!! This is a sharing about LUXCHEM, you make your own decision and take your own responsibility when it comes to investing. We use our mind to think. What is done here is to offer a holistic, comprehensive and whole analysis of LUXCHEM! This is the potentiality and possibility LUXCHEM is having in the time to come.
MOST HEALTHCARE, PPE, GLOVE RELATED STOCKS HAVE PEAKED AND INCREASED – BUT LUXCHEM HAS NOT PEAKED AND IS STILL CHEAP! AGAIN, LET THE MARKET RUN ITS COURSE TO APPRECIATE LUXCHEM’S VALUE AND DECIDE ITS PRICE IN THE DAYS TO COME!
LUXCHEM IS A WONDERFUL, EXCELLENT, STRONG COMPANY WITH GOOD AND HIGH POTENTIAL OF PROFITABILITY, THE PRICE IS STILL CHEAP, MUCH UNDERVALUED – NOT OVERPAID, THERE IS A HUGE MARGIN OF SAFETY! SO, BUYING THIS STOCK AT THE CURRENT PRICE IS LESS RISKY. IN FACT, IT IS VERY MUCH SECURED THOUGH OF COURSE, PRICE WOULD INCREASE AND DECREASE OVER THE TIME (DUE TO VOLATILITY). LUXCHEM IS INDEED A GOOD BARGAIN – AT A GREAT DISCOUNT!
“WONDERFUL COMPANIES BECOME RISKY WHEN PEOPLE OVERPAY FOR THEM!”
– Peter Lynch
“BUY A GOOD, WONDERFUL, STABLE COMPANY WHEN IT IS SELLING CHEAP (AT LOW PRICE) – UNDERVALUED BELOW ITS INTRINSIC VALUE (FAIR PRICE) – WITH A HIGH MARGIN OF SAFETY! IT IS LESS RISKY! WITH THIS, IT GIVES YOU A HIGHER CHANCE AND POSSIBILITY OF GAINING EXTRA PROFIT!” – THINKING-MAN
