Too many cheap China Car.
Chery car is bigger and cheaper than Mazda.

Agreed bro. Current Bermaz poor performance is due chinese cars and ageing of its own models. But believe going forward should be better for Bermaz as new model coming in next year. Mazda car is somehow on its own league. Believe potential owner doesn't mind to pay slight premium for Mazda qualities and Kodo design philosophy.

yea agreed bro Mazda a bit diff in its own league, next year CX-60 if priced competitively alot takers one. China car wise, peng leng jeng but reliability is an issue. Even Bermaz self also have a little market share in China car market as they have the Xpeng. Just unsure the new dividend tax policy whether will affect its track record of giving DIV as frequent..

Frankly speaking the current quarter performance is a good indicator that show Bermaz rock bottom performance and the wave of chinese car and current car market appetite for gadgets packed car but once everything been normalise and wave is receded bermaz should see improvement in profit. Even Proton CEO mentioned there are too many chinese car here and he forsee some maybe out of existence in 2 or 3 years time.

As for the last 2 quarter performance, can expect a stagnant profit similar to 2nd quarter or maybe slight improvement due to seasonal sales. So maybe for those who trust in Bermaz need to bite the bullet for this FY24/25 as significant improvement only come in FY25/26

"BAuto prioritises customer retention

From the perspective of a market player, Bermaz Auto Bhd (BAuto) chief executive and executive director Datuk Francis Lee acknowledges that 2025 will be challenging for all players in the automotive trade.

He reports that the only two brands to increase their volumes this year are Perodua and Honda, with new model launches.

Lee remarks: “The Chinese cars have significantly increased their volumes at the expense of traditional completely-knocked-down operators.

“They have been given incentives by our government and support from their China principals to have extremely competitive pricing, basically dumping here as there is overcapacity in the China market.”

Lee says the RON95 subsidy rationalisation will worsen the sector’s prospects for next year.

“As far as BAuto is concerned, we will not discount our cars as we are not pressured by volumes, unlike the two large Japanese car makers in Malaysia, namely Toyota and Honda,” Lee tells StarBiz 7.

He says the group will focus more on customer retention and moving cars to its loyal customers, who will be with BAuto for the next five to six years, as the company provides free maintenance during that period.

“We will also market the new car brands to this loyal group of customers,” he says."

depends on each one's appetite.. look at the longer term potential while keeping cash on hands, add some when price is favorable, sell some when ripe for collection on your buying price.. plus DIV on this counter is a plus point

I also think it will drop further till ex both dividends in Dec/Jan. End of Jan onward should be a better time to enter.

HL : Maintain HOLD, TP: RM1.80. We maintain our HOLD recommendation with a lower TP: RM1.80 (from TP of RM2.40), based on PE 10x on CY25 earnings. Despite the earnings down-cycle, BAuto still has a healthy balance sheet position with net cash of RM184.2m (15.8 sen/share) as of end 2QFY25, to sustain its dividend payout.

Small consolation. Bermaz has 11% stake in EPMB

cwc1981

Looking at the current performance of Bermaz, there is little chances of the share price to go up. Maybe if the bosses of Bermaz able to secure dsitributorship for value packed chinese vehicle then can provide catalyst for the share price to recover. If wait mazda and kia maybe need to wait a significant period of time before the share price go up

Agreed. Since I am driving Mazda I decided to support the company by holding the shares with paper loss and expecting to lose a bit further.

Mazda actually produce good car just that their renew the products in snail pace and bumped into the wave of chinese cars. But believe in longer term Bermaz able to recover with new cars from Mazda. Just hope this day come sooner

Competition in this industry is intense, but I do believe there is long term value here, just waiting after Jan Div ex date should be will stabilize after that

With the launch of Proton e.mas 7 EV...Mazda cars might suffer full blown competition from not only Chinese Carmakers but also from national carmaker Proton...Perodua is launching new model for EV too which is cheaper...At 1.82, Bermaz is OVERVALUED!!! Price should come down to 1.30 to 1.50 to reflect the intense competition in the auto industry...

I don't see major shareholders like EPF dumping. They acquired shares in October & November before the gloomy forecast annoucement by the management.

What we are seeing is deflation of gains and premium from past few years. It sort of ran ahead of itself. But we now have a new paradigm of competition from Chinese EV and valuations are reflecting it. Bauto has good management and proven track record but in reality no one can compete with China today in terms of price to quality ratio. I believe Bauto sees this and took on xpeng and deepal to counter the decline. Although this is uphill battle with a long road ahead if you are a long term investor. So we can't really value a stock in terms of just dividend yield without looking at other factors, especially for auto industry.

bought at 1.67. Hope will get nice dividends above 6% yearly from this RM1.67.

When the price get to maybe RM2.50 in 4 or 5 years can sell with good profit :)

The bosses are buying. Hope they have counter measures to overcome the current issue in the local automotive storm. But this storm by Chinese cars is really no joke

In short....Malaysia's vehicle market is expected to be cautious in 2024 and 2025 due to factors such as: 
- Malaysian automakers' earnings dipping in 2024
- Higher costs
- "Aggressive" Chinese OEMs
- Excise duty and high value items tax
- Sales tax exemptions for locally assembled completely knocked down EVs
- RON95 subsidy cuts for 15% of income earners, raising cost of living concerns. Fuel prices could spike
- MRT3 , LRT3 means less use of cars...

Bermaz needs to rebrand itself , perhaps an assembler of China OEMs?
The risk of Mazda Co. following the path of Nissan on a merger to survive?

Bermaz has 11percent stake in EPMB which assemble vehicle for Haval but they are not the distributor. ChangAn already have factory in Thailand definitely will come here next year just do not know whether ChangAn be here on it own or appoint distributor

Anyhow going forward automotive sector going to be very bad but is good for potential buyer because of intense competition. Maybe is time for established auto makers reinvent and reposition themselve
