GooShen, use your brain la, MCO all lock-down with reduced workforce. Kids also know lah. Stating the obvious of course revenue and profit will drop. The 2nd half 2020 will be strong as they catch up on their business. Bark as much as you can and thanks for selling to us. And to those retailers don't panic sell because of this dog barking.

For me good result too.

Don’t self comfort. Obviously is lousy quarter result. You can’t accept the fact just don’t invest in stock. No need brag to paint fake picture to self comfort. Admit the mistake and move on. Recent price drop after bonus issue is the best evidence investor is losing confident on the upcoming business revenue.

Gap down selling pressure will be huge on Monday. I know you will be sleepless during these days. Next time don’t act smart, when sell signal pop out don’t fall in love. Greedy is the best lesson to you.

KUALA LUMPUR: Test equipment maker Pentamaster Corp Bhd is ramping up production, amid strong demand from customers in the telecommunication sector after posting a weaker second quarter results.

The company, in a filing with Bursa Malaysia today, said its performance in the three-month ended June 30 was affected by the global supply chain disruption due to the Covid-19 pandemic.


Net profit in the latest quarter declined 13% to RM17mil, as revenue fell 14.6% to RM103mil.


Pentamaster said logistic and travelling restrictions imposed by countries worldwide in the second quarter has led to operation disruptions for the Group that has essentially delayed its projects delivery timeline.

"This has impacted the Group’s financial and operating results given the Group’s business nature and its accounting treatment," it said.

But as restrictions started to ease significantly since June, the company is making good progress across its business operations.

"The group is expected to stage a positive second half 2020 recovery," it said. "Currently, the Group is now back to its current 100% workforce run-rate with an aggressive production ramp up."

Against the pervasive uncertainty for the rest of the year, Pentamaster continues to see several growth catalysts driving its business momentum.

"The demand level from customers within the telecommunications sector remains robust owing to the Group’s broadening exposure in the optoelectronics ecosystem and 3D sensing technology," it said.

Meanwhile, the Group’s automotive segment portfolio has broadened with product diversification to cater for the fast-growing electric vehicle industry.


Pentamaster is also expanding its foothold in the medical devices segment, post-acquisition of TP Concept Sdn. Bhd, a company which is involved in the designing and manufacturing of single-use medical devices.

腾达第二季净利跌12.9%
有信心下半年复苏
14/08/2020

腾达（PENTA 7160）截至六月卅日二季净利按年滑跌12.9%，主要是受到国际供应链纷乱影响，该公司表示有信心在下一季度取得更好业绩。

腾达第二季净利为1700万令吉，去年同期净赚1954万令吉。

营业额则按年跌14.6%，由1亿2073万令吉减至1亿300万令吉。

腾达表示，各国实施的旅游和物流禁令，在第二季严重干扰集团业务运作，交货期也延迟。

「不过随各国解除各种禁令後，集团业务取得明显进展。」

「我们有信心下半年出现复苏，工厂的运作回到100%状况。」

腾达今日收於RM4.10，市值为29亿令吉。
