Senheng New Retail Bhd - Two-prong strategies yielding higher margin Date: 2022-08-29 Firm: CIMB Stock: SENHENG Price Target: 0.90 Price Call: BUY Last Price: 0.575 Upside/Downside: +0.325 (56.52%) We deem Senheng’s 1H22 core net profit of RM33.1m (+31.1% yoy) above our expectations due to higher-than-expected margins. We expect it to post stronger hoh results in 2H22F on i) seasonality factors with a bumper 4Q, ii) better product mix, and iii) higher operational efficiency. Reiterate Add, with a higher TP of RM0.90 (17.4x CY23F P/E) as we raise our FY22-24F EPS by 7.5-12.3% to account for higher margin assumptions. 1H22 core net profit of RM33.1m (+31.1% yoy) above expectations
Senheng’s 1H22 revenue rose 13.5% yoy to RM765.0m, boosted by strong 2Q22 performance on the back of Raya festive sales and more new/upgraded stores, leading to higher sales particularly at its “senQ” digital stations (+11.3% yoy) and “Grand Senheng” stores (+51.1% yoy). We deem 1H22 core net profit above our expectations, at 48.3% of our FY22F estimate, owing to better-than-expected GP and operating margins. 1H22 GP margin expanded to 20.3% (+0.6% pts yoy) on a better product mix while EBITDA margin rose to 8.4% (+0.9% pts yoy), which we attribute to its ongoing internal cost efficiency efforts (enhancing productivity by having trucks cover a wider area and more delivery orders fulfilled per truck) and more cost-effective promotional activities, thanks to targeted marketing via automated digital marketing solutions.
2Q22 core net profit rose to RM20.0m (+68.0% yoy)
Senheng New Retail Bhd’s (Senheng) 2Q22 revenue increased 32.9% yoy to RM397.7m, mainly driven by i) various marketing campaigns (i.e. Raya festive sales, Member Month, and 6.6 Macam-Macam Sales), ii) higher per-store sales on six new/upgraded stores during the quarter, and iii) higher footfall on easing of Omicron wave and full lifting of Covid-19 travel and business restrictions. In addition, 2Q22 GP margin climbed 1.2% pts yoy to 22.1% on a more favourable product mix due to its ongoing store expansion strategy with wider higher-margin product selection, in our view. On top of that, opex as a percentage of revenue declined to 12.7% in 2Q22 (vs. 2Q21: 13.3%), which we believe was due to its ongoing efficiency initiatives yielding higher operational efficiency.
Expecting stronger hoh results in 2H22 on margin expansion
Going forward, we expect Senheng to post stronger hoh results in 2H22, premised on i) seasonality factor (4Q is typically the strongest quarter, accounting for 42-44% of FY20/21 core net profit on strong year-end and holiday promotional campaigns), ii) more favourable GP margin from its aggressive plan to grow its higher-margin in-house and exclusive products, and iii) higher operational efficiency via ongoing internal efficiency projects and proprietary digital marketing solutions, which should lower its A&P costs.
Reiterate Add, with a higher TP of RM0.90
We reiterate our Add call on Senheng given its effective business execution leading to margin expansion. Hence, we raise our FY22-24F EPS by 7.5-12.3% to account for our higher margin assumptions. Accordingly, our TP is raised to RM0.90 (17.4x CY23F P/E, a 20% discount to CGS-CIMB’s consumer discretionary sector’s 5-year mean P/E of 21.8x). The discount is to account for the competitive nature of the retail E&E sector. We like Senheng for its: i) leading position in consumer electronics, ii) loyal customer base of 3.5m PlusOne members, and iii) wider product offerings vs. peers.

New listings are the hottest item on Bursa Malaysia these days. It is common to see companies that are listed on the ACE Market jump several-fold above their initial public offering (IPO) price soon after listing.
The demand for shares of new listings, especially companies going for the ACE Market, is so huge that all are taken up, including the 12.5% allocated to bumiputera investors approved by the Ministry of Trade and Industry (Miti).
But this was not the case a year ago.
Companies that were listed in 2021 and early 2022 could not fulfil the bumiputera equity portion because the stock market was subdued. The listing was approved on condition that the companies place out the 12.5% block to approved Miti investors one year after achieving the profit requirement for companies seeking a listing on the Main Market.
Or, the company was to place out the shares to approved bumiputera investors within five years of listing on the ACE Market.
In the last one week, two companies that were listed a year ago attempted to fulfil the bumiputera equity conditions. And the reception to the shares was not great.
Coraza Integrated Technology Bhd and Ecomate Holdings Bhd offered their shares to approved bumiputera investors. But the take-up rate was relatively poor compared to new listings.
Coraza was listed in January last year with a market capitalisation of RM120 million. Today, Coraza commands a market capitalisation of RM395 million, which is more than three times its value at IPO.
As for Ecomate, it was listed in late 2021 and valued at RM115.5 million then. Ecomate’s market capitalisation is now at RM250 million, which is more than double the value at IPO.
While the valuations of both companies have jumped significantly, they were not matched by an exponential increase in earnings.
It explains the muted response from bumiputera investors compared to new IPOs.
The bumiputera investors are probably wary of taking up shares in a company that has significantly appreciated in value within a year. Although the shares are offered at a discount to market price, the valuations are probably on the high side.
This is also a signal to those holding shares in newly listed IPOs that have jumped several-fold. They should probably exercise caution.

Active market: A trading gallery of a brokerage in Kuala Lumpur. Bursa Malaysia is expecting 39 companies to launch their IPOs – most of them on the ACE Market – this year to raise proceeds of about RM3bil. — Bloomberg
BURSA Malaysia has been starved of large listings over the last few years. The heydays of many large initial public offerings (IPOs) seem to be over.
This year, the only likely large listing candidate seems to be DXN Holdings Bhd, which is involved in the sales of health and wellness consumer products. It filed its draft prospectus with the Securities Commission in June.
But since then, the company has delayed its listing due to weak market sentiment. It is a 50:50 chance that the company will make it to the market this year.
That is not due to the attractiveness of the company per se but rather dismal investor appetite. Convincing investors to put their money in a large consumer company is not an easy task, especially if valuations are not cheap.
However, if market sentiment does get better, then DXN will likely get more interest from funds in its bid to raise some RM1.8bil from investors.
The company has been reporting some healthy growth numbers and its export-driven business model should also be attractive features along with the healthy cashflows it churns out.
The problem is investors will always be asking if they could instead use their money to buy a cheaper-valued listed company in a similar business or size.
For example, recent large listings on Bursa Malaysia that sold their shares at seemingly high valuations didn’t perform well. They include Swift Haulage Bhd (which got listed in December 2021) and Senheng New Retail Bhd, that went public last January.
These companies were listed at price-earnings multiples of 21.5 times and 28.8 times, respectively. Their share prices were down 49% and 41.7% in 2022, respectively.
The death of large listings has bogged Bursa Malaysia since 2018. In that year, there were no large IPOs. Then in the years following that, there seems to be only one large listing every year.
In 2019, it was poultry giant Leong Hup International Bhd that raised around RM1bil, followed by MR DIY Group (M) Bhd in 2020 (RM1.5bil), CTOS Digital Bhd in 2021 (RM1.2bil) and Farm Fresh Bhd last year, which raised around RM1bil.
Large listings aside, it was IPOs on the ACE Market in 2022 that made the headlines. The 25 companies that got listed on the junior bourse made it a record-breaking year. Most of those counters are also enjoying a decent appreciation of their share prices following their flotations.
So will the ACE Market continue to see such stellar growth? It does look like it, going by what Bursa Malaysia CEO Datuk Muhamad Umar Swift said this week.
He noted that the exchange is expecting 39 companies to launch their IPOs – most of them on the ACE Market – this year to raise proceeds of about RM3bil.
He also noted that there is sufficient liquidity in the market and that the market is “generally strong” but cautioned that for these listings to succeed, it would need to be backed by investor sentiment.
