For QE30/4/2014, Magni's net profit dropped 43% q-o-q but rose 17% y-o-y to RM8.5 million while revenue dropped 13% q-o-q but rose 19% y-o-y to RM162 million. The q-o-q decline in revenue was attributable to lower sales orders received from garment business. This has caused a drop in the bottom-line for the company.

Valuation
Magni (trading at RM3.16 as at 3.45pm) has a trailing PE of 8.2 times (based on last 4 quarters' EPS of 38.7 sen). At this PE, Magni's valuation is still undemanding. It may command a PE of 9-10 times.
Technical Outlook
Magni is in a gradual uptrend line. Its immediate support is at the 40-week EMA line at RM2.50. That would be a good entry level for the stock.

Historically Q3 is always the strongest quarter for MAGNI, so perhaps not too fair to say that sales is weak.
ReplyDeleteOver the past 4 years, Q4 revenue is always about 83% - 88% of Q3 revenue. Therefore latest Q4 revenue is actually within expectation.
Hi Big Sea,
ReplyDeleteI agree. It is shown clearly in the chart for past quarterly results.
That's why I still rate it a HOLD. I was happily surprised that I've called a BUY on this stock sometimes back.
