TekSeng is producer of non-woven fabric which is used for the manufacturing of face masks and protective gowns.
Per the edge (29.6.2020), It's polypropylene (PP) non-woven manufacturing business is booked up to August as orders surged. And likely its production is booked even longer as of now due to higher demand as Malaysia impose compulsory mask usage from 1 Aug.
“It should be looking quite strong for now. PP non-woven prices shot up close to 300% in April and May and we are looking at 200% from June to August. Overall, we are seeing a price surge of over 200%,” Eng Chun says, adding that net profit margin has doubled to 15% from the 6% to 8% seen before the Covid-19 pandemic.
With that, Tek Seng, which has been running at full capacity of 300 tonnes per month, will double its production capacity when new machinery comes on stream in 3Q.
The company is looking to declare dividends again.
Tek Seng’s non-woven fabric is mainly for the domestic market while 60% of its PVC products are exported.
“Our buyers are mainly MEDICAL and MASK Players and almost all local mask players are our clients now. We are also shifting a bit to the export markets and we do sell to North America and Europe,” says Eng Chun.
Tekseng is in much better position to tap on the upside advantages compare to mask producer as it provides the raw material to almost ALL the mask players...
Tekseng posted better earning results....We can foresee that it earning in coming quarters could be better due to demands on non-woven material for face masks will be increasing. But market now is punishing Tekseng...Look funny...but this is real...you know what to do now...
Common investment sense will prevail? Dont look too much into revenue reduce. 2nd Qtr 2020 was the MCO period and most business activities stifled. I am sure 90% of listed companies will report drop in revenue and profits. Lots more will report losses. Come 1st August face mask becomes mandatory in public places. Tek Seng management knows how to take advantage of the situation and push the shares price up. The Loh family holds more than 42% shares. Who doesn't want to be a billionaire.
Today is buying opportunity. Is there anything adverse in the results. No! The expectation of higher EPS and dividend is just a fickle wish. Buy when the weak holders are selling.
good news....Sabah snap election...mean mask needed urgently to lobbying vote around (must wear must going out)...mayb will even give free mask away....election consider crowded...more mask needed...final words....mask mask mask....
Why getting so panic ?The company is from a losing company to a very profitable company and the next qr will be very good especially the government mandatory enforced wearing masks fr August 1st onwards!
I believe short term to Mid term TP: RM1.20. Will reach RM2 if the next quarters results is amazing.After panic selling, this three days holidays will enable more investors to study the financial report, Monday will be on uptrend
What to do, our market now full of weak minded investors and short term traders, can't fight the trend. Look at Bursa shareprice already know, result so good, trading volume super high everyday but price drop more than 10% in 3 days after QR.
Tekseng is already operating at full capacity and is fully booked until August. It has used RM20m for capital expenditure to expand the production capacity. This expansion will start operating at Q3 which is the coming quarter. As for the lower revenue compare to last quarter, it has been mentioned in the news that Q2 will have 70% of the revenue coming from pp non-woven while Q1 only make up 30% of it. Tekseng catagorise their PP non-woven under the PVC category but PVC is actually a different product from PP non-woven. It basically means there is a drop of revenue from PVC and a raise in PP NON-Woven and PP Non-Woven generated more net profit as it has higher net profit margin which can be seen in the latest report with high net profit. So a simple calculation of double capacity in the coming quarter means Tekseng will most probably post a 50-100% profit increment.
The closest competitor of Tekseng is OCNCASH in producing non-woven fabric but OCNCASH management has already clarified during a June interview with Affin that their non-woven fabric is not use for face mask. With the release of the latest report, Tekseng also has better EPS comparing to OCNCASH so Tekseng remained the better choice out of the two.
