If no deteriorating on external factor, estimate the price will stabilise around 60 cent.

Be sensible, if Penta drop to 40 cent what will happen to Klse and malaysia economy? We may lost our job too if this happen.

Nonetheless to mention, their motive is very obvious.

No use to scare the existing holder here. For if it will drop, it'll drop by market force. Simply say something out of achieve one selfish motive is not a right thing to do.

Propose for right issue 50cent? Super fast info. Time will tell whether this info is fiction or truth.

Unlikely to go back 1.75 except world economy collapse.

Result not bad. It seems YOCB is almost recovered to prior GST time. Hope it will be another Padini.

Result is out

New business getting momemtum. order defer to 1st quarter 2016, not cancelled, Why sell? If Mr Chuah is trustworthy, i don't see reason to sell.

So far information provided by Penta Chairman Mr Chuah on secured order and deferment order is quite tally with what returned in finance result. Seem like he is trustworthy so far. if no further deferment order happen in 1st quarter 2016, we can expect a very good result for 1st quarter 2016 as what Mr Chuah mentioned is a double digit growth compare to last year corresponding quarter and a better result over last 4 quarter result.

If it is drop, time to accumulate more.

Don't panic. Deferment order (85% delivery of smart device equipment)had been mentioned by Chairman Mr Chuah in 8 FEB 2016 news. this news is open to public and not a big deal. Due to the accumulated backlog order, the 1st quarter 2016 will see double digit growth compare to last year corresponding quarter and also a growth over last year 4 quarter.

Be patient to at least hold until 1st quarter 2016. As per 8 FEb, penta is holding 45 million order for 1 H 2016

Personally don't think coming result is better than last year corresponding quarter.

Deferment order to next quarter is not a big concern as it is not cancellation. Penta chairman did mention this in news few weeks back. The important reality is penta did manage wonderfully the new busnisness Smart home control into profit after just go into this field.

If no deferment order on 1st quarter 2016, expecting good and better result as Smart Control Solution System becoming an extra profit contributor.

Surprise from Smart Control Solution System. If no deferment order to 1st Q of 2016, result should be better than the last year corresponding quarter

Estimate Bottom line improved more than 20% compare to last year corresponding quarter for coming quarter result.

Penta highly could go back above 0.70 cent next week.

0.685, 0.680, 0.675....0.60 golden time for action

Time for lelong when most people fear

Who is OTB???

A bumpy year . Market down due to China +US +Oil. 2nd correction in 6 month times. Hold tight don't panick. Make right judgement and decision

My bet the correction will over soon. Don't panick!

Look like US & CHINA market are in correction mode.

CHINA slowdown and its economy is in bumpy landing. l guess world still not into the recession mode yet.

Predict 25 million to 30 million revenue on coming Quarter Result.

I have different opinion. l foresee a good result on coming quarter result.

Old new but just read it.

GEORGETOWN: Pentamaster Corp Bhd, which provides automation solutions to manufacturing industries globally and counts China as its biggest export market, said it will not be affected by the economic slowdown in the country.

According to data released by information technology research company Gartner Inc, worldwide mobile phone sales are projected to slow down due to weaker sales in China, the world’s largest smartphone market.

However, Pentamaster executive chairman Chuah Choon Bin said this will not affect the group, as the group is striking out in areas that are as yet not fully tapped or explored, including in-flight catering and the oft-touted Internet of Things (IoT) network.

“We are not pursuing a red ocean strategy. Instead, we are looking at creating uncontested market space in China by staying ahead in the technology game. For example, when the Chinese market releases a new generation smartphone, Pentamaster is there to provide the testing solutions for it,” he told DigitalEdge Daily in an interview recently.

The group is also confident of growing its order book — which now stands at approximately RM43 million — to RM100 million by the end of the year. Further, it anticipates that for its financial year ending Dec 31, 2015 (FY15), top line will rise by 20%. It is also expecting to maintain its double-digit profit margin.

“For our FY14, we delivered revenue of RM81.05 million. For FY15, we target to increase this by 20% to approximately RM100 million, because we believe we have the right technology and product.

“On top of that, be it in Malaysia or other countries, finding cheap labour is always an issue. Therefore, manufacturers tend to jump on the automation bandwagon for their processes — and that is where we come in,” said Chuah.

For its second quarter ended June 30, 2015 (2QFY15), Pentamaster’s net profit jumped 102.3% to RM3.25 million from RM1.61 million in 2QFY14, due to a better product mix with a higher margins.

“We are not expecting to deliver the same kind of net profit growth of 102.3% in the second half of the year... A key to our improved financials in 2QFY15 was that we managed to make a good profit margin. What we can say for the remaining two quarters of the year is we are looking at maintaining that same kind of profit margin, at around 12%,” said Chuah.

Pentamaster is primarily in the provision of standard and customised automation testing equipment for semiconductor industries, which take up 50% of the group’s revenue. It also provides automation equipment for the gloves industry, which makes up approximately 15% of its revenue.

“Our focus for the glove industry is medical and surgical gloves and our customers are multinational glove makers. We have also ventured into the food industry, with the provision of automated equipment for airline in-flight catering,” Chuah shared.

As mentioned, the group has also gone into the IoT market, which has seen heated interests on the back of the growing interconnectedness of things and devices.

“This year, we have ventured into the provision of smart home system, which involves the automation of home appliances such as heating, ventilation and air-conditioning,” he added.

Pentamaster has also set aside RM15 million as capital expenditure for its factory in Seberang Perai, which is scheduled to commence operations by the end of 2016.

The group, in March this year, purchased a 3.23 acre (1.3ha) leasehold land from the Penang Development Corp for RM5.02 million to build the factory.

“Currently, the utilisation rate for our Bayan Lepas plant, which has both research and development as well as manufacturing activities, is at around 90%. With this new factory coming on board, we foresee capacity increasing by a further 50%,” said Chuah.

Meanwhile, being an exporter, Chuah said the group stands to gain from the continued weakening of the ringgit against the greenback.

“However, bear in mind that we also import some of our components in US dollars. Still, to an extent, the weak ringgit is beneficial to us,” he said.

Will up soon
