Profitability - with PBT of 18mil (increased of 124.14% YOY) last released quarter report, possibility increased demand of exports to China due to banned Japanese seafood - China has since diverted it's attention to source seafood from South East Asia. However, the best might yet to come due to the festive season of Chinese New Year. A brief study also shows that PTRB is 1 of only 3 companies in Malaysia that is permitted and licensed to export a couple of dried seafood.
Growth - despite heavy reinvestment of cash from the company last year in it's facility and machinery to increase it's production and storage, the company still generated a very well return with PBT of 37mil. With increased capacity towards the right direction, it is safe to foresee 2024 will be the year to watch for PTRB.
Dividend - just before the released of the astonishing last quarter of 18mil PBT, a first interim dividend of RM0.65 cent was announced. If the result could be kept up to level, it is safe to say there might be another dividend round around the corner and quite possibility higher.
