ALUMINIUM COMPANY OF MALAYSIA BERHAD, (ALCOM 2674)

Global aluminium price rise since May and hit 2014.58 USD/t at August 7, 2014 due to the global aluminium shortage. Global aluminium producers have done well to curtail output. Coupled with the absence of new smelting capacity outside China (beyond the few being ramped-up now) and moderate demand growth, the market is generally expecting its first supply deficit in a decade from 2014. This favourable development has lifted the sector’s fundamentals and seen the LME’s aluminium cash price breaking the US$2,000 per tonne psychological barrier.

FY14 and FY15 aluminium price estimates to US$2,200 and US$2,400 respectively despite the belief that there is more upside coming.

The global aluminium shortage phenomenon drives the KLSE aluminium stock price. We know that the superstar - PMETAL (8869) has climbed from its low of RM2.31 in April to RM5.95 at the last trading day.

So, today our focus is Aluminium Company of Malaysia Berhad (ALCOM 2674). ALCOM’s share price gap up and its volume increase since last two day. We can see that ALCOM (2674) is trading uptrend now. Will the motivation continuous? Will it another PMETAL?

Let's see its share price movement, 

Current share price: RM0.85

NTA: RM1.34

Dividend: RM0.05
