FY15 net profit margin is 17.05% annually but FY16 is 9.32%. That is a 45.38% reduction in net profit margin after Q4 released. Costs of doing business is reducing the profits per each quarter.
Revenues continue to grow in 2016 by 11.47% over 2015 from RM180,733,000 to RM201,476,000. Gross profit reduced due to implementation of minimum wages by the government from 1st July 2016. The business is labour intensive and the company has close to 1,000 staffs. However, over the years,revenue grew from RM132,803,000 in 2012 to RM201,476,000 in 2016. An increase of 51.7% whereas the gross profit grew from RM30,586,000 to RM53,258,000, an increase of 74.12%
Can consider when it reaches 1.55 but for now it is simply overpriced. I can't see any catalysts ahead and the business is grown organically rather slow. If it just rely mainly on export market then there are better companies.
