Good.... yesterday volume small and below 4 week average volume. Indicate some strong holding power from PENTA lover.

External factor still the main lead for Penta short term price. IF no deteriorating on world macro, anything below .70 cent is great discount to accumulate.

Posted by Ferisc > 2016-01-13 09:31 | Report Abuse

Market sentiment still cautious due to CHina factor. If China stabilize and US stay maintain, it'll be good for Penta.

Posted by Ferisc > 2016-01-13 15:35 | Report Abuse

Shanghai Index had dropped about 16% since 2016. I think it should able to bottom out soon. Look unlikely it will break below 2800(another 5 % drop from current shanghai index 2950) in near term.

It is not fair judge PENTA with Shanghai Index. You should compare their fundamental. Profit, NTA and revenue should put into more consideration to judge company performance. I believe in EPS growth will be strong catalyst in PENTA.

Posted by Ferisc > 2016-01-13 17:25 | Report Abuse

External factor will influence stock performance. If US & china stock collapse, can Penta and other stocks not being affected?

Posted by Ferisc > 2016-01-13 17:27 | Report Abuse

Definitely fundamental need to take into consideration for its fair price. Only external factor subsided, we can see Penta and other stock with good fundamental can rise up.

Posted by Ferisc > 2016-01-13 17:29 | Report Abuse

China shaking, the world will shaking too. China is not like 10 year ago, its GDP now is 5 times than ten years ago.

Posted by Ferisc > 2016-01-13 17:39 | Report Abuse

Look to me downside on Shanghai stock is limited after dropping for 16% this year. Hopefully it'll bottom out soon. 2800 is lowest in my estimate.

No much concern on Penta but world macro(CHina, US..etc) is the main thing to monitor at this moment.

I would to ask the directors on their new business in smart home solution projection and new plant at Batu Kawan at AGM meeting. I'm practicing professional investor, Ferisc. So, very important to me to know what is happening in the company and outlook for 2016 to PENTA business.

Old new but just read it.

Published at 2015-08-10 09:39:55 by The Edge

GEORGETOWN: Pentamaster Corp Bhd, which provides automation solutions to manufacturing industries globally and counts China as its biggest export market, said it will not be affected by the economic slowdown in the country.

According to data released by information technology research company Gartner Inc, worldwide mobile phone sales are projected to slow down due to weaker sales in China, the world’s largest smartphone market.

However, Pentamaster executive chairman Chuah Choon Bin said this will not affect the group, as the group is striking out in areas that are as yet not fully tapped or explored, including in-flight catering and the oft-touted Internet of Things (IoT) network.

“We are not pursuing a red ocean strategy. Instead, we are looking at creating uncontested market space in China by staying ahead in the technology game. For example, when the Chinese market releases a new generation smartphone, Pentamaster is there to provide the testing solutions for it,” he told DigitalEdge Daily in an interview recently.

The group is also confident of growing its order book — which now stands at approximately RM43 million — to RM100 million by the end of the year. Further, it anticipates that for its financial year ending Dec 31, 2015 (FY15), top line will rise by 20%. It is also expecting to maintain its double-digit profit margin.

“For our FY14, we delivered revenue of RM81.05 million. For FY15, we target to increase this by 20% to approximately RM100 million, because we believe we have the right technology and product.

“On top of that, be it in Malaysia or other countries, finding cheap labour is always an issue. Therefore, manufacturers tend to jump on the automation bandwagon for their processes — and that is where we come in,” said Chuah.

For its second quarter ended June 30, 2015 (2QFY15), Pentamaster’s net profit jumped 102.3% to RM3.25 million from RM1.61 million in 2QFY14, due to a better product mix with a higher margins.

“We are not expecting to deliver the same kind of net profit growth of 102.3% in the second half of the year... A key to our improved financials in 2QFY15 was that we managed to make a good profit margin. What we can say for the remaining two quarters of the year is we are looking at maintaining that same kind of profit margin, at around 12%,” said Chuah.

Pentamaster is primarily in the provision of standard and customised automation testing equipment for semiconductor industries, which take up 50% of the group’s revenue. It also provides automation equipment for the gloves industry, which makes up approximately 15% of its revenue.

“Our focus for the glove industry is medical and surgical gloves and our customers are multinational glove makers. We have also ventured into the food industry, with the provision of automated equipment for airline in-flight catering,” Chuah shared.

As mentioned, the group has also gone into the IoT market, which has seen heated interests on the back of the growing interconnectedness of things and devices.

“This year, we have ventured into the provision of smart home system, which involves the automation of home appliances such as heating, ventilation and air-conditioning,” he added.

Pentamaster has also set aside RM15 million as capital expenditure for its factory in Seberang Perai, which is scheduled to commence operations by the end of 2016.

The group, in March this year, purchased a 3.23 acre (1.3ha) leasehold land from the Penang Development Corp for RM5.02 million to build the factory.

“Currently, the utilisation rate for our Bayan Lepas plant, which has both research and development as well as manufacturing activities, is at around 90%. With this new factory coming on board, we foresee capacity increasing by a further 50%,” said Chuah.

Meanwhile, being an exporter, Chuah said the group stands to gain from the continued weakening of the ringgit against the greenback.

“However, bear in mind that we also import some of our components in US dollars. Still, to an extent, the weak ringgit is beneficial to us,” he said.

Not necessary weak ringgit will continue to boost their sales. Depend also other factor. Current q revenue is their 2nd worst q from 6 latest q. Current profit Is the highest amongst...then u must be careful coming quarter results.. The graph also suggest the trend of their weakening business.

I agree with OOMMGG. Pentamaster team see growth in order and demanding for automation machines. That why they built a new plant to cater the demand. From the article that OOMMGG posted describe how good Pentamaster in doing business. They provide solution for glove industry, food industry, property industry and many more. The most important is their financial position for long term debt currently zero.
