look at the news paper, 21sept, said profit drop 22%q to q, people all shouting to run away. today, new said strong grow, target rm11. r y able to get use of them. hehe
Sequentially, 4Q16 core profits slipped by 2% due to softer EBITDA margin (-1.3ppts qoq). We would not be overly worried and believe this could be due to product mix, possibly an increase in its box build business which typically carries lower margins. On the other hand, revenue momentum remains strong, rising 5% qoq to RM75m, its strongest ever.
No major changes to our FY17-18E EPS forecasts and we introduce FY19E EPS of 129 sen (+26% yoy). We continue to believe that KESM is in the position to benefit from the strong growth in the automotive semiconductor segment, underpinned by rising electronic contents, from safety to infotainment and autonomous vehicles. Maintain BUY and target price of RM11 (12x calendarised 2017E EPS) which offers 38% upside potential
No one threw any Sunright shares to the buyers Q-ing @ 30.5c today. 266,000 shares done @ 31 & 31.5c :D I expect something nice to be announced on 26th Sep.
FY16 net profit surges 69% yoy, within expectations KESM’s FY16 core profit of RM31m (+69% yoy) was within expectations. The stronger earnings yoy was underpinned by growth in the automotive testing business where KESM provides testing for micro controller units and sensors amongst others, largely for automotive IDMs. KESM made a conscious effort to expand its test business 3 years ago with major investments made in this space. These are currently bearing fruit. As a result, revenue grew 9% yoy to RM286m. Alongside revenue growth, FY16 EBITDA margin also expanded by 0.3ppts yoy to 32.2%, as contribution from the higher-margin testing business increased. On the whole, FY16 earnings growth would have been stronger if not for a higher effective tax rate of 15.3% vs FY15’s 12.9%. Separately, the company also announced a final DPS of 3 sen, bringing FY16 DPS to 7.5 sen (FY15: 6 sen). This was however below our forecast of 10.4sen. We suspect that the company is reserving cash for future capex while notably KESM also repaid borrowings of RM35m during the financial year.
paper, other people had their own strategy and princip of investment. everyone here just because we want to exchange of investment opinion. knowledge is gain from sharing and learning. just congrats them had take profits, they are winning as well.
Extract from KCChongnz "..... he best thing about the result of this financial year is its good cash flows. Cash flows from operations has increased to RM88.2m, the highest in history. Free cash flows, FCF, is also the best so far as it did not require to spend too much in capital expenses after the last two years of high capital expenses....'' -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- alot of upside!!!!!!!
if your capital is less, don be greedy in too many counters...n believe u split the risks....i was like that for past years n never made money...change strategy now..pick good potential counters , max 3 stay with it. track them...buy when correction, sell when gain is above 5 to 10 % depend on you...buy to average on bad times....the market condition will impact every counter....i think Nov month is a volatile with US election..hold more cash....n wait for dip in Nov n sell in dec window dress
