Updated comparison
Total buybacks up to 27 Jul: 29.405 million shares
Total major shareholder disposals (EPF, KWAP, abrdn, etc.): about 28.5–29.0 million shares
This means SKPRES has now effectively matched or slightly exceeded the total disclosed institutional disposals.
The fact that 28 Jul's announcement was only a buyback, with no corresponding disposal announcement, is encouraging. It suggests:
The heavy institutional selling may have largely finished.
The company is still actively buying shares at RM0.31–0.32, indicating management believes the current valuation is attractive.
With selling pressure easing, the share price has a better chance to recover if buying interest returns.
If there are no new major shareholder disposals in the coming days, this would be one of the more positive developments for SKPRES since the recent sell-down.
