Pentamaster, the undiscovered Covid-19 thematic play


Covid-19 thematic stocks have seen a fantastic rally lately. Gloves, face masks, PPE, face shields, medical beds, ventilators, etc.. you name it.


One stock not known to many that has jumped on this ship is Pentamaster. It recently started making Ventilators like K-One Technology (K1). 


Why do many not know about this? That’s because Penta has not made an announcement yet.


However, those who have stumbled upon Malaysian Investment Development Authority (MIDA) recently published Apr 2020 newsletter (https://www.mida.gov.my/home/e-newsletter/posts/) might have noticed this:



This is a very interesting development which could be a catalyst to Penta’s share price. Like Notion VTec, Penta might also get a boost from upcoming Bonus Issue. 


Penta share price has been consolidating around RM4.00 level and looks ready for a breakout.



For those who are less familiar, Penta is no ordinary stock. In fact, it is a champion growth stock.


List of Awards from its 2019 annual report:

The Company was ranked in the top 200 in the Forbes 2019, 2018 & 2017 Best Under a Billion list of companies that are publicly listed in the Asia Pacific region. The Company was also awarded the Highest Return to Shareholders Over Three Years and the Highest Growth in Profit After Taxes Over Three Years for technology sector under The Edge Billion Ringgit Club 2019. Furthermore, the Company has also won Focus Malaysia Best Under Billion Awards 2018 for the Best Revenue Growth, Best Enterprise Value Growth and Overall Winner category; Focus Malaysia Best Under Billion Awards 2017 for the Best Return on Assets category; the Enterprise 50 Award 2002 organised by Accenture and SMIDEC; and Quality Management Excellence Award 2003 for the category of local company with annual sales turnover exceeding RM25 million to RM200 million at the Industry Excellence Award 2003 organised by Ministry of International Trade and Industry.


Growth from sensors

Penta’s strong growth has been driven by the growing usage of sensors in smartphones and cars. More sensors means more demand for Penta products.


In particular, 3D sensors will be a growth driver as they are now being used more & more in lower range phones. You can think of the growth as how higher range phones used to have 2-3 cameras, but now more and more lower range phones are having 2-3 cameras too. That was why HK-listed Sunny Optical did so well (A 9500% stock surge turns janitors into millionaires | https://www.chinadailyhk.com/articles/99/153/212/1528268255281.html). 


This is the same growth idea with Penta except instead of camera lenses it is sensors.


The global 3D sensor market forecast will be US$11,276.8 million by the 2026, rising at a rate of 28.0% CAGR, from US$1,464.6 million in 2018, according to a study conducted by Research Dive (https://www.openpr.com/news/2042085/why-is-3d-sensor-catching-on-faster-in-sensors-and-controls)


Financially, Penta has strong fundamentals. High net profit margin, high net cash, ROE, etc. Ticks all of the boxes.


Penta is one of CIMB’s top picks with target price of RM5.20.

Focus Point (0157) – A strong recovery stock riding on the success of FamilyMart and MORE Most people think Focus Point (FocusP) is a boring stock with an optical business. They’re wrong… FocusP is the next F&B growth stock to keep an eye on. FocusP F&B business can be categorised into two divisions: 1. Komugi bakery outlets 2.  Komugi corporate sales Investors need to  focus on  Komugi corporate sales  division as this will be the growth driver.   FocusP struck  gold   after its Komugi  central kitchen  was  certified  Halal   in Jan 2018. Since then, it has scored big with corporate customers like  FamilyMart . And there will be more big corporate customers soon once the new central kitchen starts in Dec 2020. Many are unaware that  several hot selling delicious goodies  on FamilyMart’s shelves are  made and supplied by Komugi . Just check the label and you will see that they are  manufactured...

SARAWAK PLANTATION (SWKPLNT) – a  horse  with latent potential + the right  jockey  = a  CHAMPION racehorse Stock symbol: SWKPLNT (5135) Stock price: RM1.99 Market cap: RM555.27mil Shares outstanding: 279.03mil Part 1: A horse with huge latent potential CPO prices have been bullish, recently breaching the RM4,000/tonne mark for the 2 nd  time in 3 months. A number of positive factors will continue to drive and support CPO prices. But why are most plantation stocks not rallying? That’s because they are trading at  expensive  valuations of around 30x P/E with low production growth of only of 3-6%, while some even have negative production growth. However, there is an  exception … One  rare  species. One with  double-digit   production growth  and an  attractive   single-digit   P/E . This jewel is little-known  Sarawak Plantation Bhd (SPB) , an  undervalued  company with  explosive earn...

The SUPERNOVA of STAR MEDIA (6084): A Burst of Earnings?

-

Star Media, once a shining star in the newspaper industry, now faces the inevitable fate of a sunset business. The dawn of digital media has cast a long shadow over traditional print newspapers, and The Star is no exception. But like a star in its final moments, there will be one last burst of light before it fades into obscurity — a phenomenon known as a supernova. The recent move by Star Media to hike cover prices for its physical newspaper by 50% from RM2 to RM3, could potentially lead to a significant increase in earnings. While more recent data is not available, for 2H2018, The Star had an average of 151,623 paid printed copies in circulation per publication day (audited and verified by the Audit Bureau of Circulations). Assuming that The Star’s print circulation has now decreased by half to 75k per day, this would still equate to about 27 mil copies per year. A RM1 increase in cover price could potentially result in a boost of RM27m flowing directly to its bottom line. Assuming a...
