Hi Alex,
Can you comment on CMMT?
Do you think bright outlook for REITs sector next year 2014?
Thanks.
Hi Jim,
On the whole, I am cautious on REITs and income-based securities. The reason is that interest rates are expected to increase. This will lead to higher yield and lower value (as yield and securities are inversely related).
The result for CMMT is still fairly satisfactory (see link below). If you look at the chart of other REITs, the prices had dropped off. For example, AXReits rose from RM1.00 in Dec 2008 to a high of RM4.00 in May this year. It is now at RM3.00 only, which translates to a retracement of 33%.
CMMT rose from RM1.00 in mid-2010 to RM1.95 in early part of the year. At RM1.33, CMMT has lost 68% of its gain!!
Will the REITs recover? I think it is too early to call for a recovery or even a bottom in the current decline. For one thing, US Fed's tapering exercise - the cause of the reversal in interest rate worldwide - has yet to begin. Secondly, the decline is only 6-7 months old. Since the preceding rally lasted 4-5 years, the decline could last 1-2 years. However, after a sharp drop witnessed so far, further drop could be smaller.

Hi Alex,
Can you comment on amedia?
Do you think it will bound this year?
Thanks.
Hi bmYself
Amedia? I have not looked at that stock for a while. Having looked at the chart, I can only say "WOW! What a drop!"
The company is still reporting a profit albeit much lower than last year. For 9M to 30/9/2013, net profit dropped to RM8 mil from RM13 mil while revenue dropped from RM34 mil to RM30 mil. Balance sheet is fairly clean, with cash of RM43 mil & shareholders' fund stood at RM136 mil.
But the share price has been dropping. Using a semi-log chart, I can see the stock broke its long-term uptrend line at RM0.12-0.13 in February 2013.
So this is a stock with bearish technical outlook but decent financial statements. One of these must be painting a false picture and I always believe that you put your money in what you believe in. For Amedia, the directors are not buying the shares despite the low prices. That means the chart is more reliable than the accounts. My gut feeling tells me to avoid the stock. See my earlier post (link below).
