Breakout Again. If u observe carefully after strong formation marubozu, it will retreat and bounce back on T4. Just wait patient. Result out on 16 August 2017. Still got long way to go.
UMA 等下跌回下来你就知道,赿吹赿大。。 26/07/2017 12:57 -------------- UMA, don't you know a growing company shares price will grow accordingly also? Please check MMSV historical record as well as the potential of its industry! Btw, don't be sour bro, even u hate a person is this forum so much. Shares price will drop for short term nervousness or profit taking, it's just a very common thing, but the value & prospects of the company still there. Not every company like IWCITY riding roller coaster all day long...Enjoy it! hahahaha
price hike is very strong over the last few months, 3 more weeks to go before the quarter report is released. although i am damn bullish on MMSV earnings this year, i wonder what will happen in the next 3 weeks!
MMS Ventures eyes Main Board transfer in 2H Ben Shane Lim / The Edge Malaysia
March 29, 2017 17:00 pm MYT -A+A This article first appeared in The Edge Malaysia Weekly, on March 20 - 26, 2017.
AMID the rally in semiconductor stocks, MMS Ventures Bhd (MMSV) has largely gone unnoticed due to its listing on the ACE Market. Many large funds simply do not have the mandate to take positions in ACE Market stocks.
Even with a 27% rally in its share price over the past two weeks to 75 sen per share last Thursday, MMSV is valued at only 12.6 times earnings. In contrast, larger semiconductor stocks like Globetronics Technology Bhd and Inari Amertron Bhd are valued at 52.8 times earnings and 21.65 times earnings respectively.
But MMSV may soon shed its ACE Market discount.
“We hit the net profit requirement back in 2015. We only need three years cumulative net profit of RM20 million to qualify for a promotion to the Main Board. It is something that we are planning. If all goes well, we might be on the Main Board by the third or fourth quarter,” says chairman and managing director Sia Teik Keat, adding that the final decision lies with the Securities Commission Malaysia.
With a cumulative net profit of RM33.08 million over the past four years, MMSV should not have a hard time securing SC’s approval.
Furthermore, Sia expects MMSV’s 1H2017 net profit performance to further build a case for promotion to the Main Board.
“Barring any unforeseen circumstances, we anticipate that earnings will be at least 20% higher in the first half,” he says.
MMSV booked a 13.7% year-on-year increase in revenue to RM35.6 million for the financial year ended Dec 31, 2016. Meanwhile, net profits rose by 17.8% y-o-y in the same period to RM9.52 million.
A 20% increase in net profits for FY2017 would translate into an earnings per share of 7.1 sen. In turn, that values the company at only 10.5 times forward earnings.
Sia is able to speak confidently about earnings prospects because the project-based nature of the group’s core operations offers earnings visibility.
MMSV produces testing and inspection equipment for LEDs, specifically, for smart devices, the automotive industry and general lighting as well. The inspection equipment has to be ordered by LED manufacturers ahead of a new product cycle.
New features are expected in this year’s line-up of smartphones — expecially Apple’s 10th anniversary iPhone 8 — that will act as a catalyst for semiconductor companies such as MMSV.
This year, Sia says orders from new customers as well as MMSV’s diversification into wafer inspection equipment will drive earnings growth.
“We managed to secure some new clients for our visual inspection equipment this year. On top of that, our wafer inspection is still on a low base. We have only received orders for the first few units; we expect this segment to grow,” he explains.
Sia says MMSV diversified last year into inspection machines for the LEDs semiconductor wafers — thin slices of crystalline semiconductor material.
“The degree of difficulty for wafer inspection is much higher. It is a high value machine that commands higher margins. It also has less competition.”
The group’s venture into wafer inspection is a direct result of research and development investment over the years, he adds. For now, MMSV has secured two customers for the wafer inspection machines, but expects the business to grow because the platform for the machines is relatively universal.
The main driver of MMSV’s earnings however, will continue to be the visual and inspection equipment for LEDs.
“One of our key products are visual inspection machines to inspect lenses for the flash in smart devices. Our clients include the top four LED makers in the world,” says Sia.
Currently, the smart devices segment makes up about 40% of profits. Automotive makes up about 25% while 10% comes from general lighting.
Going ahead, however, Sia anticipates more sales in MMSV’s smart devices segment that will increase its contribution to profits to 55%.
“Our automotive segment has a lower volume, but much higher margins. This is because automakers have longer product cycles and tight tolerances for quality. Smart devices have much higher volume, because phone makers are constantly launching new products. However, it is also more competitive, so margins are a little lower,” he notes.
Sia claims MMSV’s technology is on a par with its Taiwanese peers. However, MMSV boasts a cost advantage, with a substantial portion denominated in ringgit. Meanwhile, the bulk of MMSV’s earnings are in US dollars.
“We have been doing this for about 20 years and have a strong pool of technical expertise. Japan, for example, is ahead of us. But they are more expensive as well,” he says.
Between higher profits and the possibility of a Main Board listing, MMSV will certainly be an interesting stock to watch this year. However, it is also interesting to note that beyond the improved profile, the company does no
Monday, 5 June 2017 Chip test equipment makers remain bullish BY DAVID TAN
They are optimistic of further growth in next three quarters
GEORGE TOWN: After five quarters of growth since early 2016, semiconductor test equipment manufacturers in Malaysia are still optimistic of further growth in the next three quarters of 2017.
Both Pentamaster Corp Bhd and MMS Ventures Bhd are projecting a strong increase in their orders from the automotive sector this year.
Pentamaster executive chairman C.B. Chuah told StarBiz that “the automotive semiconductor market is expected to reach US$48.78bil by 2022, at a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.8% between 2016 and 2022.
“This is due to the increasing use of electronic systems in vehicles to enhance the performance of safety and multimedia functions.”
For the second half of the year, Chuah expects orders from the automotive industry to rise higher between 30% and 35% of the group’s test equipment sales compared with 20% and 30% in the same period last year.
The segment with the most sales in the first half of 2017 is the smart mobile device sector, which takes up about 80% of the orders for Pentamaster’s test equipment.
“We expect growth in the third and fourth quarters of 2017, as we can see orders for the second half coming in right now.
“Although the second quarter has yet to close, we can expect improved results over last year’s same period and over the first quarter of 2017,” added Chuah.
He said Pentamaster was aiming for a double-digit percentage growth in 2017.
“We are delivering about 120 units of semiconductor test equipment with a market value estimated at US$48mil to the smart device and automotive industries in 2017 compared to about 80 units a year ago,” added Chuah.
Pentamaster posted RM26.6mil in net profit on the back of a RM151mil turnover in 2016 compared with the RM11.9mil and RM83.6mil achieved in 2015.
On the prospects of the semiconductor test equipment market in 2018, Chuah said the growth trend should continue to be driven by demand for sensors used in the smart electronic features of cars.
“However, demand from smart mobile devices is expected to grow moderately in 2018,” he added.
Meanwhile, MMS Ventures managing director T. K. Sia said orders from the automotive sector would dominate in the third and fourth quarters of this year.
“So far, about 50% to 60% of our test equipment is for the smart mobile sector, while the automotive and general lighting segments absorb the remainder.
“In the second half, the orders from the automotive sector should take the lead,” he added.
MMS Ventures expects test equipment sales to improve by a double-digit percentage in the second quarter, which closes June 30, over the preceding quarter.
“So far, we have delivered some 50 units test equipment to our customers in the United States, Japan and other parts of the Asia-Pacific region.
“We still have 20 more units to ship out before the end of June. The group will deliver another 30 to 40 test equipments in the second half of the year.
“We expect a strong double-digit percentage growth in 2017 over 2016,” added Sia.
The selling price of test equipment is around US$100,000 to US$220,000 per unit, and has remained stable for the past two years due to competition.
Moving forward, MMS Ventures expects moderate growth in 2018 for the test equipment sector, said Sia.
According to MarketsandMarkets, a leading international market research firm, the smart sensor market is expected to grow from US$18.58bil in 2015 to US$57.77bil by 2022, at a CAGR of 18.1% between 2016 and 2022.
It said that in terms of unit shipments, the global smart sensor market is estimated to grow at a double-digit growth rate between 2016 and 2022.
“In the current market scenario, there is a growing demand for smart sensors in the consumer electronics, automotive and healthcare industries, and in some industrial sectors such as textile, material manufacturing, and food and beverage, among others.
“This is attributed to the increasing demand for sensing technologies among various sectors and the growing vehicle production in economies such as Japan, China, the US and India,” said the report.
