高税率·低赚幅·希世康末季料难展欢颜

(吉隆坡13日讯)希世康(SCICOM,0099,主板工业产品服务组)在高税率及低赚幅下,即将公布的全年核心盈利难有好表现,预期今年盈利将下滑34%,拖累派息减少。

艾芬黄氏表示,该公司首3季的核心净利已经下滑了44%,至1590万令吉,归咎于较低的电子解决方案贡献及税务正常化,所幸企业流程外包(BPO)表现较佳,提供了缓冲。

恐影响派息

艾芬黄氏认为,盈利减少的情况下相信希世康今年的股息按年从9仙降低至6.3仙。

展望未来,艾芬黄氏认为,希世康2020及2021财政年的核心净利仍会成长5至6%,主要是来自BPO及电子解决方案业务量的成长。

艾芬黄氏补充,希世康最大客户之一的大马教育环球服务(EMGS),后者国际学生人数将在明年达到20万人。

希世康预期今年攫取的新客户可提高BPO业务。与此同时,一些潜在客户亦能对2020财政年的营业额做出贡献。

此外,该公司也向媒体表示,有望赢得外籍客工合约并竞标其他合约,如移民整合系统(IIS),该合约价值高达10亿令吉,期限为期5年。

未获得相关合约以前,艾芬黄氏并未把这些因素计算在内。艾芬黄氏提醒,希世康与EMGS有官司纠纷,虽然该公司强调此事件不会影响业务,但相信从EMGS的盈利贡献将转向负面。

虽然希世康2019年的盈利遭看淡,但过去一年股价已经下滑了54%,相信盈利下滑因素已经反映在当下股价,因此艾芬黄氏维持“守住”评级及目标价为92仙。

建筑房产赚幅受压 嘉登前景看淡

建筑和房产业务的盈利赚幅受压,拖累嘉登控股(GADANG,9261,主板建筑股)末季业绩由盈转亏。展望未来,分析员认为,建筑和房产市场或持续疲软,因此看淡嘉登控股的前景。

该公司2019财政年末季(截至5月31日止)净亏339万令吉,2018年同期净赚2331万令吉;营业额按年起7.3%,至1亿9690万令吉。

全年净利大跌54.88%,至4349万令吉;营业额增长17.67%,至6亿9989万令吉。

JF艾毕斯证券和达证券分析员皆表示,该公司的业绩表现比预期逊色。JF艾毕斯证券分析员表示,由于嘉登控股的建筑业务所承担的劳工和建材成本高企,导致净利赚幅受压。

房产业务的盈利赚幅同样受压,加上柔佛CapitalCity项目销售表现低迷,导致有关业务的营业额和净利在末季齐齐下跌。

展望未来,该分析员指出,嘉登控股将竞标东海岸铁道计划(ECRL)和大马城项目的合约。该公司在4月18日与DWL资源(DWL,7165,主板工业股)签署协议,成立财团联手竞标基建项目工程。

“嘉登控股拥有良好的业务能力和记录,因此我们认为该财团有望争取到ECRL的工程合约。”

另外,达证券分析员说,该公司手头上的订单总值达到12亿4000万令吉,占2019财政年建筑业务营收的2.5倍,可支撑未来2年的净利。他也说,该公司产业业务的未入账收入为1亿零934万令吉,去年同期为零9310万令吉。不过,2019财政年的产业销售为1亿6300万令吉,低于2018财政年的1亿8500万令吉。

惟,JF艾毕斯证券分析员称,该公司未来将会采取更积极地营销策略来推动旗下房产项目的销量,包括雪州赛城的Laman View项目、蒲种的Elegan.和吉打的Puncak Sena城镇。

无论如何,房产市场的前景依然疲弱,他预期嘉登控股会展延新发展项目的推出。另外,盈利赚幅也预计持续受压。

综合以上因素,JF艾毕斯证卷把2020财政年盈利预测下砍23%,至5380万令吉,并认为该股目前的估值已反映了大型基建项目重启,因此维持“卖出”投资评级,目标价下修至63仙。

至于达证券也持相同看法,把嘉登控股的投资评级从“买进”大砍至“卖出”,目标价为77仙。

副内长:2023年启用提升关卡安全·预先扫描监控入境旅客

内政部副部长拿督阿兹斯查曼表示,政府将在2023年中全面使用预先扫描乘客(APS)系统来提升我国入境关卡的安全。

他今日在国会上议院表示,这项新移民监控系统目前还在公开招标的程序,预计这个系统能有效监控外国旅客入境我国,以及应对目前的挑战。

他说,这项系统会通过移民局、皇家警察及国际刑警组织的记录进行交叉核对,预先扫描与过滤还未前来我国的外国旅客。

土团党国会上议员拿督莫哈末苏海米提问有关内政部是否使用这项系统来确认外来旅客的犯罪记录,尤其是非洲旅客。

通过预先扫描才发签证

阿兹斯查曼对此回应,内政部除了采用上述系统,也会进行几项措施来加强旅客入境的监控,如在国外的马来西亚代表处将通过预先扫描程序来发出签证,若确认外国人有相关犯罪记录,将列为嫌疑名单,且不能获批签证前来我国。

他说,我国入境处会依据嫌疑名单数据库、外国人生物识别数据库、生物指纹登记及执法系统(NERS)来检查旅客的背景、身分及旅行证件,以提高监控和识别效率。

可禁嫌疑旅客登机

“我国公民可通过生物指纹识别和自动门入境,这使移民局官员更能专注外国旅客的入境监控。”

根据Scicom公司官网显示,预先扫描乘客系统旨在确保获得该国允许入境的旅客登机,同时加强国家边境的安全。其系统措施包括登机前检查护照与签证及给予警示,为航空公司提供电子显示指令,提供准确的预先乘客资料进行分析以决定是否要在边境进行干预,以及航空公司能使用预先扫描乘客系统,提供数据予边境管制机构。

该系统也可阻止嫌疑旅客登上飞往我国的航班,在起飞地点拦截或禁止该乘客登机或入境。任何人购买飞往我国的机票,我国会预先掌握相关人士的资料,若有罪犯试图入境我国,就会被禁止登机。

尼籍博士生癫痫症发作去世

另一方面,巫统上议员凯鲁阿兹万在附加提问时询问尼日利亚籍博士生在移民局扣留所去世,使我国声誉造成影响,他回应,根据医院解剖报告,该名学生的逝世原因是癫痫症发作 。

他强调,移民局官员当时是依据标准作业程序办案,官员逮捕他之后,曾尝试学校进行联系,但联系不果,而学生也在扣留期间因发羊癫而去世。

根据警方今年1月至5月的统计,我国有4592宗外国人犯罪案,其中1190个案件涉及刑事罪,3402个案件与财物偷窃有关。

Scicom targets foreign worker tracking, SKIN contracts

SCICOM (MSC) Bhd is hopeful of winning a contract to track foreign workers in Malaysia soon. The contract will be awarded by a source country that exports thousands of workers to 12 countries, including Malaysia, Scicom CEO Datuk Seri Leo Ariyanayakam tells The Edge.

If the contract materialises, it will be a great boost to Scicom.

“The system will be a one-stop centre for local employers who wish to hire workers from that country. With the system, the country’s embassy in Malaysia will be able to track each worker, for better protection,” says Leo.

“So, if ... workers lodge a complaint [of abuse] against their employers at the embassy, and if the allegations prove to be true, the embassy would be able to blacklist the employers and people connected with them [so they can no longer] hire workers from that country.”

The system will be funded with the fees paid by employers when they look to hire workers from the country through the embassy. There will be a form of revenue sharing with Scicom as the proprietor and operator of the system.

Malaysia is a major destination for workers from other developing countries due to the abundance of jobs and the stability of its economy, currency and sociopolitical system. It is estimated that there are six million foreign workers here. However, many of the foreign workers here are undocumented, which has cost the country a lot of tax and non-tax revenue. Over the last decade, this problem has worsened. According to statistics from the Ministry of Human Resources, between 2008 and the second quarter of 2018, the percentage of documented foreign workers dropped from 19.3% to 11.9% of the total.

This is why both Malaysia and the source country require a comprehensive system that can track the movements and whereabouts of foreign workers in the host country.

According to Leo, if Scicom wins the contract to provide the system to be deployed in Malaysia, there is potential for the group to win the same contract in another two or three host countries. If that happens, the income potential is very promising.

Scicom is also bidding for other governmental processing systems, with the largest one being the Integrated Immigration System (IIS), which the Ministry of Home Affairs issued a request for proposal last May. The contract to provide an integrated solution for border and immigration control was earlier awarded to Prestariang Bhd. However, the RM3.5 billion Sistem Kawalan Imigresen Nasional (SKIN) was terminated by the ministry in December last year as it was deemed too expensive.

Leo believes Scicom is in a good position to win the tender. “We have already built a lot of the modules for the IIS and we can build the entire system within 24 months.”

The deadline for the submission of bids for the contract is Aug 17. It is worth about RM1 billion and will run for five years.

For its financial year ended June 30, 2019 (FY2019), Leo is anticipating another drop in net profit on the back of lower earnings from the Education Malaysia Global Services (EMGS) division as well as the business process outsourcing (BPO) division.

For the nine months ended March 31, (9MFY2019), Scicom’s net profit dived 45% year on year to RM15.42 million on a 6.83% drop in revenue to RM118.93 million.

According to a May 28 report by MIDF Research analyst Ng Bei Shan, the EMGS segment is experiencing the negative impact of the massive shutdown of certain educational institutions.

“But there should be a gradual recovery over time as the number of genuine foreign students looking to study in Malaysia should improve along with the expansion of the country’s education industry,” says Ng in the report.

Her optimism stems from the government’s target of having 250,000 international students enrolled in Malaysia’s higher education institutions by 2025, compared with 172,886 in 2016.

Leo sees Scicom’s net profit improving from FY2020 on the back of its e-solution business, which includes the provision of the EMGS one-stop centre, as well as more efficient cost and revenue control over its BPO business.

Over the past 12 months, the stock has fallen 51% to close at 86.5 sen last Thursday, valuing the company at RM307.5 million. At the current price, Scicom is trading at a trailing four-quarter dividend yield of 8.67%.

MIDF Research’s Ng believes the counter is becoming more attractive as it is trading at a forward price-earnings ratio of 12.5 times, which is close to two standard deviations below its two-year mean.

“Our target price of 96 sen is based on 15 times FY2020F earnings per share of 6.41 sen. Moreover, we have not taken into consideration any new sizeable project wins,” says Ng, adding that the recommendation is supported by Scicom’s net cash position and dividend yield.

全球手机销售估减2.5%·恐创史上最大衰退纪录

全球手机出货量今年恐将滑落至17亿4500万支,研调机构顾能(Gartner)预估,今年智能手机销售将衰退2.5%,衰退幅度将创史上最大纪录。

顾能表示,手机若无法提供重要的新功能、效率或体验,用户不会升级,将会增长手机使用寿命;手机使用寿命自2018年开始增长,这趋势将延续到2019年。

高阶智能手机使用寿命将自2018年的2.6年,增长至2023年的2.9年。顾能预期,今年手机出货量将滑落至17.45亿支,将减少3.8%,智能手机销售将衰退2.5%,衰退幅度将创史上最大纪录。

至于5G发展,顾能预估,2020年全球将有7%的通讯服务供应商提供5G服务,拥有5G功能的手机占总手机比重将约6%,2023年5G手机占总手机比重可望达51%。

顾能预期,今年包括个人电脑、笔记电脑与平板电脑等运算装置出货量将约4亿零300万台,加计手机,终端装置总出货量将约21亿4800万台,将减少约3.3%。

次季获利将砍半·全球化工龙头巴斯夫大砍全年财测

全球最大化工业者德国巴斯夫集团(BASF)大幅调降全年财测并警告第二季获利将砍半,原因在于中美贸易大战未见缓和,连带影响全球经济放缓与工业生产下滑,导致该公司业绩难逃冲击。

盘中重挫5.3%
朗盛科思创暴跌逾5%

受此消息拖累,巴斯夫9日股价盘中重挫5.3%,每股报59.29欧元。其他同业亦表现不佳,德国朗盛(Lanxess)与科思创(Covestro)双双暴跌逾5%,英国庄信万丰(Johnson Matthey)下挫2.5%。在化工类股领跌之下,Stoxx600欧股指数下跌0.6%。

巴斯夫预估,今年排除特定项目的税息前获利率(EBIT)最多将较去年下跌30%,低于先前预估的年增1%~10%。至于全年营收则从原本预期的年增1%~5%下修至“微幅衰退”。

巴斯夫表示,受到中美贸易冲突持续的影响,全球经济成长降温与工业生产下滑,严重拖累第二季业绩表现,该公司因此下调全年财测。

巴斯夫声明指出:“美国与其他国家的贸易纷争(尤其是中国)迄今未出现缓和迹象。我们认为中美贸易冲突在今年下半年仍无法趋缓,整体而言,不确定因素仍相当多。”

至于第二季财报方面,巴斯夫预期,该季营收将年减4%至152亿欧元,不如分析师预期的159.8亿欧元。

而第二季获利则估计年减47%至10亿欧元,不如市场预期的16亿欧元,主因在于“材料、化学品与农业部门获利远不如去年同期”。

虽然多位分析师日前预测巴斯夫可能下调全年财测,但该公司下修幅度之大仍超乎他们预期。研调机构Bernstein分析师札克曼(Gunther Zechmann)预估,该公司下半年业绩表现可能更惨。

巴斯夫6月时宣布,他们打算在2021年底前裁员6千人,目的在于删减支出,该公司重申该计划维持不变。

汽车消费品电脑晶片亦不妙

巴斯夫的产品被广泛用于汽车、消费品及电脑晶片等众多产业,如今巴斯夫发布获利预警,也使投资人怀疑其他产业的获利情况,欧洲化学与汽车类股9日盘中也跟着巴斯夫股价重挫。

瑞士GAM集团首席经济学者海瑟威指出,原材料及其他景气循环相关业者对未来的财测也将缺乏信心,“这个财报季对巴斯夫和其他公司而言,将挑战十足”。

德国戴姆勒集团两周前下修财测,且是一年内第三度下修。德意志银行本周也宣布全球裁员18,000人。分析师指出,由于德国汽车及化工两大关键产业都情况不佳,预料德国经济不衰退也难。

贸易战冲击 产品赚益跌‧乐天大腾次季恐少赚68%

乐天大腾(LCTITAN,5284,主板工业产品服务组)今年业务饱受中美贸易战拖累,马银行研究预见第二季产品赚益恐显著下滑,并拉低次季核心净利大减68%至1亿令吉,连带下修全年财测6.7%。

全年财测下修6.7%

马银行研究指出,中国与美国贸易摩擦未解,让乐天大腾今年过得异常严峻,其中全球制造业采购经理指数(PMI)自5月起不断下滑,并反映出石油化学产品需求疲弱的迹象,但好在石脑油价格连续2个月下滑,帮助乐天大腾成功重新录得赚益。

“不过,我们预期今年第二季产品赚益仅为每公吨488令吉,按年和按季下跌39%和11%,今年为止产品平均赚益为每公吨517令吉,比去年同期减少40.2%,更是4年来最低水平。”

该行说,管理层预期次季工厂使用率90%,预估次季核心净利将按年大减68%至1亿令吉,但按季则料起79%。

总结上半年,核心净利可能下滑72%至1亿5580万令吉,仅达到全年财测的28%,但马银行研究看好随着石脑油价格呈跌,下半年表现有望显著转强。

“尽管如此,今年以来平均售价超出预期,预见整体赚益可能收窄5.5%,高于5月预期的5%,因此我们下修2019财政年核心净利目标6.7%至5亿6100万令吉。”

虽然马银行研究下调乐天大腾财测,连带调低目标价至3令吉35仙,但却维持其“买进”评级,主要是该股现以0.55倍账面值交易,为全球估值最便宜的石化股,估值更远低于重置价值,同时集团现手握市值53%现金,预测2019财政年周息率将达到4.1%。

华尔街对苹果越来越不看好 5个分析师给“卖出”评级

据国外媒体报道,华尔街已经很长一段时间没有如此不看好苹果公司了。受“卖出”股票评级影响,苹果股价美国时间周一下跌2%。周一,罗森布拉特证券(Rosenblatt Securities)将该公司的股票评级从“中性”下调至“卖出”,使得在彭博社跟踪的57名分析师中看衰该公司的分析师总数上升到5人。

根据彭博社汇编的历史数据,这是这家iPhone制造商自至少1997年以来获得“卖出”评级最多的一次。在此期间,苹果于1998年8月发布iMac电脑,标志性的iPod于2001年10月面世。

彭博社的数据显示,苹果的普遍评级评分(衡量一家公司获得“买入”、“持有”和“卖出”股票评级的比例)目前为3.76分——这是华尔街越来越谨慎看待该公司的另一个迹象。该数字也是自2004年以来的最低水平。

围绕该公司的怀疑情绪在2019年呈现日益浓烈之势,它所获得的5个“卖出”评级全都出自今年。今年4月,New Street Research和汇丰银行双双下调了对苹果股票的评级。另外,今年1月,给予该股“买入”评级的公司比例自2004年以来首次跌破50%。

在很大程度上,这种谨慎态度是由围绕苹果至关重要的iPhone产品线在美国市场需求的不确定性造成的。今年1月,苹果近20年来首次下调了营收预期,很大程度上是因为iPhone的疲软需求。苹果的第三财季财务报告预计将于7月30日公布。

彭博社编制的数据显示,苹果2018财年营收有60%以上来自iPhone,约20%来自中国市场。而中国也是苹果产品供应链的重要组成部分。上周,花旗写道,苹果在中国的销售额“可能会减半”,原因是“品牌形象吸引力不如以往了”。

在罗森布拉特证券下调苹果评级的同时,分析师Jun Zhang预计,由于销售趋势令人失望,该公司的表现“未来6-12个月将面临根本性的恶化”。他说,罪魁祸首是iPhone,苹果目前的1000美元手机销量将继续“令人失望”,它们难以复制iPhone过往令人振奋的表现。

他还指出,更糟糕的是,该公司的其他产品也将无法带来足够的助力,因而苹果将无法让营收数据达到投资者的期望。“iPad的销售增长将在2019年下半年趋于放缓,苹果‘其他产品’的增长,比如HomePod、AirPod和iWatch,可能对支撑总营收增长没有多大的帮助。”

评级下调导致苹果股价周一一度最多下跌2.9%。

不过,“卖出”评级增加也难以代表市场对苹果的一种共识。彭博社(Bloomberg)编制的数据显示,目前有多达23家公司建议买入该股,另有21家给予其“持有”评级。

华尔街2019年表现出的谨慎深度并没有真正反映在苹果的股票表现上。相较于1月份的低点,该股已经上涨了40%以上,尽管仍比历史新高低出14%左右。

然而,对于苹果来说,周一的消息并不完全是负面的。正如Wedbush所写的那样,在亚洲进行调查后,他们发现“全球iPhone需求日益向好”。分析师丹尼尔·艾夫斯(Daniel Ives)写道,“尽管整体手机需求仍具挑战性,但在我们的调查中,我们发现苹果供应商的表现略有上升。”他维持其对苹果的“跑赢大盘”评级以及235美元的目标股价。

VSI got secure another new client recently?

新客户贡献·威城两年财测调高

马银行预料这个新客户每个财政年贡献1亿5000万至2亿今吉营收,相比此财政年首9个月总营收达7亿令吉。

威城也正从一个新装配客户寻求契机,若成功可贡献相同营收。马银行把目标价从1令吉30仙调高到1令吉45仙。

马银行预期赚益可于2020年至2021财政年复苏,净赚益介于4.4至4.5%,相比2019年7月杪截止财政年预测3.8%。下两个财政年总利润接近15%,相比截至4月杪首9个月达10%。

威城在4月杪截止的第三季业绩中,美国必胜(Bissell)订单的量产之高贬值与资本开销,加上中国业务的重组成本压缩电子电器装配赚益。

该地毯清洁器预料9月生产。

大马投行指出,有一些在中国设厂之厂商,不堪美中贸易战所构成的震荡,正与威城积极接触而打算多元化业务至大马、印尼;而威城已准备了18万平方尺新厂房空间,随时配合新客户的需求。

威城大马业绩持续正面,首9个月税前盈利按年增长20%;印尼业务这个财政年保持盈利,受美中贸易战干扰,正在重组努力,中国营运仍具挑战。

威城周三股价以最高收市,涨3仙或2.6%,闭市报1令吉19仙。

连通北京新加坡,泰国希望成为泛亚铁路枢纽

日前,泰国政府表示希望通过一个横跨亚洲多国的高铁网络,致力推动泰国发展成为东盟的物流枢纽。

《曼谷邮报》7月8日报道,这项庞大工程主要分为泰国到老挝及中国南部、泰国到柬埔寨、泰国到马来西亚以及曼谷到清迈四条路线,全长达3193公里,造价约2.07万亿泰铢(约4474亿人民币)。

泰国副交通部长拜林(Pailin Chuchottaworn)表示,泰国政府希望这个高铁网络可以从中国一路开往新加坡。他说:“到时候,人们就可从曼谷城区挽赐(Bang Sue)乘高铁北上北京或南下新加坡了。”

据悉,连接曼谷和东北部廊开府(Nong Khai)的第一阶段工程正在兴建,预计于2023年竣工。该线路将覆盖608公里,将成为老挝邻近廊开府(Nong Khai)的主要交通系统。

另据越南新闻社消息,根据计划,邦苏火车站将成为东盟最大的车站。这座四层高的车站占地面积为30万平方米,计划周围环绕商业区。该站还将与曼谷的城市铁路线和通往内陆省份的铁路线相连。

泰国工程研究院总工程师表示,如果区域集团继续支持铁路运输,东盟可以从用户转变为高速列车技术开发商。

他说,泰国政府目前正准备与马来西亚、越南和印度尼西亚达成新的铁路行业标准协议,因为他们还在为高速建设各种铁路模式上花费巨资。

总工程师表示,这些国家目前能够生产一些铁路相关产品,但因缺乏标准化使他们无法出口,该协议可以降低铁路建设和维护的总体成本。

Growth can come from expansion. But expansion doesn't necessarily mean growth.

probability you couple that with 'growth opportunities'...'growth' meaning expansion of market....you will hit the jackpot i guess.
