I could well-remembered Mr Ooi Teik Bee won the I3investor Stock Picks Portfolio Contest in a certain year due to his powerful HEVEA-WA. Hevea is a furniture manufacturer company. He did recommended in I3. Those who bought and held from 2 January to 31 December made a fortune. At that time, shares below RM1 were half a sen per bid, shares from RM1 to RM5 were 2 sen per bid, shares from RM5 to RM10 were 5 sen per bid and shares above RM10 were 10 sen per bid.
In line with RHB PER upgrade from 15x to 20x, I am revising my target price to RM1.97. This is on the premise of 20% QOQ growth from latest quarter EPS and conservative view that subsequent 3 quarters will remain flat.
RHB Research: Keep BUY, new MYR1.61 TP from MYR1.08 (21% upside), c.2% FY25F yield. We are optimistic on the potential of data analytics to study customer behaviour and boost traffic, thereby driving scalability in Synergy House's business-to-consumer (B2C) e-commerce business. Given its higher-than- expected earnings growth (compelling FY24F PEG of 0.3x) and scalability, we have raised the P/E ratio from 15x to 20x FY24F earnings, resulting in our higher TP. The valuation is consistent with the 5-year average P/E of its closest regional peer, Zhiou Home Furnishing Tech. Business-to-business (B2B) sales growing: In 4Q23, Synergy fulfilled the first batch of a new order for interlocking drawers from its US wholesaler, Customer A. The order was in response to new safety standards enforced by the US Consumer Product Safety Commission, requiring interlocks in clothing storage units. Following positive customer feedback, Customer A placed 400 more container orders for one of the world’s largest hypermarkets to sell in stores and online in the US. While existing B2B product line orders are unchanged, we adjusted our B2B sales growth from flattish to a 10% hike. We revise FY24F and FY25F core earnings projections upwards by 12% and 12.5% to MYR40.2m (+54% YoY) and MYR51.3m. Embracing artificial intelligence (AI): At a recent site visit, we saw how Synergy fully integrated AI and data analytics into its operations, from design and development to project management, advertising, monitoring, marketing, and shipping. It has adopted cutting-edge semi-automatic drawing software for product design, and instead of manual photography, it uses 3D product images and room views. In advertising and monitoring, it conducts competitor analysis by monitoring changes in pricing and sales via AI-powered tools. It uses data analytics to identify most-searched keywords to reach its target customers. In marketing, it uses data analytics to access real-time data from online platforms on order replenishment and market trend analysis, including preferred colours and best-selling designs. AI is used in drafting product descriptions, while chatbots and AI are used for customer service. AI adoption enhances productivity and speeds up B2C sales growth. Expansion on track: Synergy had 185 employees as of March, and aims to reach 200 this year. In efforts to diversify its reliance on Wayfair US, its B2C sales in the UK and other new platforms are growing fast. Early this year, Synergy kept sufficient inventory in third-party fulfilment centres for new year sales in the US and UK after experiencing a shortage in 1Q23. This year, it is also increasing its B2C SKUs by 25%. As B2C sales growth is anticipated to outpace B2B, we expect higher-margin B2C sales to eclipse B2B sales in FY24. B2C sales are also expected to account for 70% of total sales in FY25.
3 more weeks till quarterly results release. I am very excited on the prospects. Don't sell a good company just because it has went up. Keep your winners, cut your losers.
On 27 May 2024, based on concensus, for 1st quarter results of FY2024, Synergy House Berhad is expected to achieve 300% of last year 1st quarter and at least 5% better QoQ.
Wow, the US markets rally after an unexpected "the US labour market cooled notably in April 2024". But Synergy House Bhd is moving sideway for the time being in low volume", waiting for the 1st quarter results to convince the big boys.
Hmmm... Back to sideway movements, but with a higher sideway movement price. Got to wait for the 1st quarterly results on 27 May 2024 and the AGM the following day. SYNERGY got to justify its high PE.
KLCI still holding well at 1,600 and trading volume in KLSE keeps on increasing. In this scenario, every counter will have their turn to go up. Synergy still holding strong at upper high sideway movement.
Glad you are back Chloe. Baffled that you sold out after believing in the fundamentals and brilliant management of this synergistic company that employs AI to the max. Synergy's brilliant Management will fuel its growth further to a multibagger stock.
@Goldberg, after looking at how MI performed, I changed to a portfolio of all semiconductors. And it was purely luck (not fundamental) that US Joe Biden added tariffs to China, the semiconductor shares all went up. But it was only a one day show. So I sold all the semiconductor shares and shifted back to Synergy House.
This book is the result of the author's many years of experience and observation throughout his 26 years in the stockbroking industry. It was written for general public to learn to invest based on facts and not on fantasies or hearsay....
