Fundamental take:
As business in Malaysia contributes a significant portion of Genting Bhd's performance, Genting bhd is affected by the covid situation in Malaysia and other parts of the world. Malaysia has been fighting hard in this covid situation and certain states experienced periodic MCO/lockdown for the past 9 months.
Nevertheless,
1) Recent financial performance has shown core gambling business improved after the first major lockdown and losses reduced.
2) Vaccine will reach Malaysia in the 1st Qtr 2021.
3) Chinese New Year is round the corner. Many itchy hands will try their luck in the "prosperous" 15 days, making Genting Bhd prosperous.
4) Tourism plays a major role for Genting Bhd to recover back to pre-covid share price RM 8-10. With an assumption of vaccine is effective to control the covid situation, we expect Malaysia to open up the tourism sector in 2nd half of 2021, hence a rise in share price in the next 2 years
Genting Bhd will move into the black in 2021.
On the flip side, any major deterioration in the covid situation or government intervention (lockdown) in the 1 Qtr would adversely affect Genting Bhd's performance and delay her recovery.
With cost cutting efforts in 2020 and sufficient cash in reserves, Genting can withstand another covid impact, and grind out of this crisis.
Technicals:
- Genting Bhd broke its major downtrend resistance and is currently doing nice pullback along the resistance trendline.
- Expect the support range of RM 3.85 - 4.22 to hold for the upcoming joyous Chinese New Year.
- Risk of false breakout is low at present unless a change in Malaysia's situation.
Entry Price: RM 4.24 - 4.45
Take Profit:
1) exit on major resistance levels (of your choice)
2) wait until Malaysia opens up tourism sector and gambling numbers recovered 80%
Good luck in Trading and have a prosperous 2021.
