Prospect: The higher US furniture sales were driven by the Covid-19 recovery stimulus and high demand following the lockdowns. Although purchase orders particularly from US customers remain strong, going forward we expect the continuous inflationary pressures may somewhat dampen demand. Nevertheless, the ongoing trade war between the United States and China, the Russia-Ukraine conflict and the resulting sanctions have driven importers to secure their sources of supply from SEA countries, including Malaysia
Base on my BRIEF study on the QR1 2024 (The latest QR) of Wegmans:
(Note: A comparative figures from QR4 2023 included)
A: Improved its revenue, profitability and NTA.
Revenue PBT Net Profit EPS NTA QoQ(%) YoY(%) 34,700K 5,572K 4,248K 0.77sen 24sen Up 4% Up 2444%
B: Sitting on positive reserve / Retained profits of RM83,746, 000. It means, the company is a profitable company.
C: Has a moderate cash and cash equivalents of RM 18 mil.
D. Total assets > Total liabilities, Total current assets > Total current liabilities, and its total current liabilities below 50% of its current assets – Means has a low indebtedness risk.
E. Dividend for shareholders – Dividend of 0.5 sen per ordinary share in respect of the financial year ended 31 December 2023.
THE FINDINGS:
1. NTA 24 sen _ , QR4 2023 @ 23 sen. 2. NOSH 550.54 mil _ , QR4 2023 @ 550.54 mil.
The Group’s revenue for the current financial quarter ended 31 March 2024 has increased by RM11.65 million or 50.56% to approximately RM34.70 million as compared to approximately RM23.05 million in the preceding year corresponding quarter ended 31 March 2023.
The higher revenue was mainly attributed to the higher sales volume from North and South America.
The Group registered a profit before tax of approximately RM5.57 million for the current financial quarter ended 31 March 2024 as compared to profit before tax of approximately RM0.25 million for the preceding year corresponding quarter ended 31 March 2023.
The higher profit before tax was mainly attributed to the higher revenue generated and strengthening of United States Dollar (“USD”) against the RM whereby a majority of the Group’s revenue sales are denominated in USD.
Note 2:
For the current financial quarter ended 31 March 2024, the Group’s revenue has increased by RM3.28 million or 10.45% to approximately RM34.70 million as compared to approximately RM31.42 million in the preceding financial quarter ended 31 December 2023. The higher revenue was mainly attributed to the higher sales volume from North and South America.
Note 3: Prospects
The Group confronts global economic uncertainties, increased production costs, and foreign currency fluctuations. However, the strengthening of United States Dollar (“USD”) against Ringgit Malaysia is expected to offset the negative impacts as majority of the Group's revenue are denominated in USD.
The Board expects that the Group’s operations for the financial year ending 31 December 2024 to remain profitable amidst a challenging business environment.
Homeritz reported good results, supported by strong USD. by same extension, i reckon Wegmans shld be reporting good results in Aug too then?... majority of Wegmans sales are also in USD. and they export a lot to US market too. looking at the price chart.. price seems low now. downside shld be limited? assuming they can do RM15mln... it's only PE 7x...
