OPPSTAR BERHAD

Small Cap Value Stock Pick Edition 2025

Amidst ongoing market turbulence and heightened volatility, small-cap counters with strong fundamentals and forward-looking strategies continue to draw investor attention. In this landscape, three Bursa-listed names; Oppstar Berhad, Avaland Berhad, and Kucingko Berhad, have emerged as compelling value picks for 2025.

Oppstar Berhad: Positioning for Long-Term Design Demand

Oppstar Berhad operates within the semiconductor space, specializing in integrated circuit (IC) design services. Its core business spans front-end to back-end IC design, serving clients globally from Malaysia, with a focus on R&D-driven innovation.

Despite industry-wide softness, the company achieved a cumulative revenue of RM57.7 million for the nine months ended 31 December 2024, a healthy increase from RM44.9 million in the previous year. However, profitability was impacted by higher cost of sales and impairment charges, leading to a net loss of RM5.0 million compared to a RM14.0 million profit a year earlier​. The company remains well-capitalised, with RM78.4 million in cash and minimal debt, offering long-term resilience and growth potential​.

Avaland Berhad: Property Development with Positive Trajectory

Avaland Berhad, a subsidiary of AyalaLand, focuses on residential and mixed-use developments in Malaysia. Its business model emphasizes value-oriented projects that appeal to the mid-market and affluent segment, with strong branding and delivery track records.

In FY2024, Avaland posted a record revenue of RM893.6 million, up 47% from RM607.1 million in FY2023. Net profit also surged 50% year-on-year to RM98.9 million​. Backed by robust sales from its flagship developments and a healthy balance sheet, Avaland’s fundamentals reflect disciplined execution and strong buyer interest in a recovering property sector.

Kucingko Berhad: Yield and Growth in Animation

Kucingko Berhad is a pure-play digital content creator specializing in 2D animation for global clients across North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific. While detailed financials were not released, the stock currently offers a dividend yield of 5.86%, making it attractive from a value-income perspective. Looking ahead, the company is expected to stage a recovery in 2H 2025 as international project pipelines resume post-studio bottlenecks. More notably, Kucingko is expanding into the high-growth 3D animation space, positioning itself to capture new demand in digital entertainment and streaming content.

Titan Trading Notes For Wednesday [19/3/2025]:

KLCI had a decent rebound back towards the 1527 points region with an overall positive market sentiment as our market started to rebound from the heavy selling activities over the past few weeks. Daily trading volume settled around the 3.2 billion mark, which is still average here.

Main stocks that showed strong buying momentum would be the likes of PERTAMA, SRIDGE, MYEG, NEXG, SALIRAN, GAMUDA, CIMB, YTL, OPPSTAR, TTVHB, and JCY. All of which were able to sustain their rallies throughout the day on the top volumes list.

For now still looking pretty strong and if able to sustain above its RM 0.62+ immediate support, could continue to trend back up towards the RM 0.675 - RM 0.70+ major resistance levels soon in the coming week.

Will be monitoring OPPSTAR closely.

$TTVHB / 0272 (TT VISION HOLDINGS BERHAD) on the other hand also was able to breakout strong all the way towards the RM 0.835 regions on Monday here with huge volume and buying momentum. It was definitely one of the star performers over the past week here.

So far still looking quite strong and if able to sustain above its RM 0.73+ immediate support, could continue to trend back up towards and beyond its RM 0.835+ major resistance levels for an uptrend continuation pattern.

Will be monitoring TTVHB closely as seems like something big could be brewing behind the scenes here.

$EG / 8907 (EG INDUSTRIES BERHAD) on the other hand despite taking a huge hit and retraced all the way back towards the RM 1.60+ main support levels on the weekly charts earlier last week, been able to recover strongly back towards the RM 2.10+ regions with good volume and buying momentum.

For now seems to have formed its dip regions already and if able to sustain above its RM 1.90+ immediate support levels on the daily chart, could trend back up towards the RM 2.30+ major resistance levels in the coming weeks.

Will be monitoring EG closely.

Will be monitoring NATGATE closely.

$OPPSTAR / 0275 (OPPSTAR BERHAD) on the other hand also had a huge breakout back towards the RM 0.61+ regions with good volume and buying momentum on Friday here.

Titan Trading Notes For Friday [14/3/2025]:

KLCI had a decent rebound back towards the 1510 points region with an overall positive market sentiment as our market started to rebound strongly from the previous huge sell downs over the past week. Daily trading volume still hovering around the 3.2 billion mark, not really that great yet.

Main stocks that showed strong buying momentum would be the likes of SAPNRG, NATGATE, CIMB, MYEG, GAMUDA, PBBANK, SNS, OPPSTAR, SIMEPROP, GENM, PMETAL, MRDIY, TTVHB, DIALOG, and KPJ. All of which were able to sustain their rallies throughout the day on the top volumes list.

$OPPSTAR / 0275 (OPPSTAR BERHAD) since its earlier breakout towards the RM 0.68+ regions, been retracing and consolidating over the past week around the RM 0.45+ support levels and was able to breakout strong once more back towards the RM 0.57+ regions today with huge volume and buying momentum.

Seems to have bottomed out already and if able to sustain above its RM 0.50+ immediate support levels, could start trending back up towards the RM 0.60 - RM 0.62+ major resistance levels soon in the coming week.

Will be monitoring OPPSTAR closely as seems to be forming a potential huge trend reversal here.

$EG / 8907 (EG INDUSTRIES BERHAD) ince its earlier breakout towards the RM 2.78 all time high levels, been taking a hit and retraced all the way back towards the RM 1.62+ main support levels on both the daily and weekly charts just earlier this week.

Seems to have bottomed out already as it was able to rebound back towards the RM 1.80+ regions today with good volume and buying momentum. As long as able to sustain above its RM 1.72 support, could bounce back towards the RM 2 - RM 2.10+ resistance levels soon.

Will be monitoring EG closely here as could be forming its major dip regions already.

Although we see the market rebounding quite well the day before, it should be noted that world sentiment is still bearish overall and this could just be a technical rebound from being oversold

Trump is still waging tariff wars on everyone and his position is still quite unclear. Try not to blindly rush into anything yet and monitor closely first.

Titan Trading Notes For Monday [10/3/2025]:

KLCI retraced back towards the 1547 points region with an overall mixed market sentiment as we still saw over 560 counters closing red for the day here. Daily trading volume remains low around the 2.4 billion mark, still mainly dominated by sellers here as foreign funds continue their outflows.

Main stocks that showed strong buying momentum would be the likes of OPPSTAR, DNEX, SNS, and RTECH. All of which were able to sustain their rallies throughout the day on the top volumes list despite the mixed market sentiment.

Shortly after announcing Malaysia's partnership with Arm Holdings, $OPPSTAR / 0275 (OPPSTAR BERHAD) had a huge breakout all the way towards the RM 0.68 regions with good volume and buying momentum, making it the star performer for the day.

That said, it still sustained heavy selling pressure which led the stock to close back around the RM 0.535 regions here, which isn't too good yet. For now needs to hold well above its RM 0.52+ immediate support levels before we can expect further upside here.

Will be monitoring OPPSTAR closely.

$MSM / 5202 (MSM MALAYSIA HOLDINGS BERHAD) on the other hand since taking a huge hit and retracing all the way back towards the RM 1.12+ major support levels over the past week, seems to have formed its bottom already and bounced back towards the RM 1.19 regions with decent volume.

So far seems to have bottomed out already and if able to sustain, could bounce back towards the RM 1.30+ regions here if able to breakout from its RM 1.25+ major resistance levels in the coming weeks.

Will still be monitoring MSM closely here

$OPPSTAR / 0275 (OPPSTAR BERHAD) limit up due to collaboration with ARM holdings.
