"A PETROCHEMICAL SERVICES provider in China that is not state-owned is a gem of a find," said China Best's Rocky Lu.
The Shanghai-based fund manager told me this of Hengyang when we visited its chemical storage plant last week.
Hengyang, a recent IPO on the Singapore Exchange, will also be the first chemical logistics chain on the Yangtze River, which waters the economic belt that contributes close to 50% of China's GDP, and about 35% of national exports.
The growth prospects arising from Hengyang’s plans to operate ports along the river add sparkle to this stock with high margins and a defensive revenue stream.
One of them, Broadway Industrial, has just reported a 219.5% y-o-y jump in its Q309 net profit to $8.7 million.

We attended a briefing this week for analysts by Broadway executive chairman SS Wong, and here are insights into the company’s prospects – and forward strategies.

CSST has a sprawling factory in Shenzhen.
NYSE and Nasdaq Dubai-listed China Security & Surveillance Technology Inc (CSST), the country’s biggest public homegrown manufacturer and installer of security and surveillance systems, has enjoyed explosive growth of late.
It has been buoyed by domestic firms and local governments beginning to see enhanced security systems as a necessity rather than a luxury. Its revenue spurt should make it a much-watched ticker on Wall Street.

Robert Stone, Singapore investor
MARKET INTEREST in Anwell Technologies has developed over the last few months after it reached key milestones in its nascent solar business.
Long before that, sometime last year, Singapore investor Robert Stone decided to pump $2 million into Anwell’s solar business via the purchase of convertible bonds.
He didn’t stop there. To date, he has accumulated 4.5 million Anwell shares – even though he figures that the company could report operating losses for a few quarters to come.
Read his views on Anwell and the solar industry’s prospects here.

Sunday, 01 November 2009
Few Singapore-listed companies have the longevity of Teckwah, which was founded in 1968.

Teckwah Group (its IPO was in 1994) was the company that fit the bill.
David started a thread on Teckwah on the NextInsight forum, which caught our attention and we decided to contact the company's management for a meeting. Read what we learnt here.
