The FBM KLCI’s dip notwithstanding, Ambrose maintains his view that Malaysian and Asean equities, as well as the ringgit are undervalued, pegging his year-end target for the leading index at 1,784 if the market’s prospective price-earnings ratio returned to its normal level of 16 times.

“After all, foreign investors are almost out of the market and local institutions have stopped selling at the end of 2023. There are many ways things can go wrong, but I am bullish for 2024,” he said.

KUALA LUMPUR: Investors should remain steadfast in seeking fundamentally sound stocks despite the recent turmoil in the small-cap market, according to RHB Research.

In a note, the investment bank said while the small-mid cap space is often preferred for its higher growth prospects, a balanced pick, combined with value-focusing and growth-focused stocks is appropriate in the current environment.

As such, it emphasised that a focus on earnings quality, margins preservation, cash flow, and yield generation is paramount, especially on the backdrop of tense geopolitical conflict, cost escalations, and demand uncertainty.

PETALING JAYA: Resilient domestic demand and a recovery in demand from the European market are helping to sustain Kawan Food Bhd’s revenue growth.

According to Inter-Pacific Research, the company’s sales growth in key foreign markets, such as the rest of Asia, has remained stagnant.

Additionally, sluggish sales in the North America market were largely attributed to lower consumer sentiment.

Meanwhile, the tensions in the Middle East might also cause delays in shipments that affect the sales in North America and European markets.

That said, the research house anticipated a recovery in demand from the North America market due to its economic resilience that should largely preserve demand growth.

“Furthermore, we expect export sales in the Chinese market to regain momentum following the government’s efforts to bolster market confidence through stimulus measures,” it added.

Kawan Food’s calendar year 2023 earnings came in below Inter-Pacific Research’s expectations, only accounting for 93% of its full-year forecast, mainly due to lower operational efficiency and higher taxes.

The research house further reduced its earnings forecasts by 0.3% for 2024 after taking into account the higher operating expenses.

“We also maintain our ‘neutral’ recommendation on Kawan Food with a higher target price of RM2.02 by pegging an unchanged 20 times target price to earnings ratio (PER) to our 2024 earnings per share,” Inter-Pacific Research said.

It continues to like Kawan Food for its overseas market exposure, ongoing initiatives for social and labour compliance, and robust research and development to expand its product offerings.

Kawan Food’s 2023 revenue exceeded the research house’s expectations, which accounts for 102.1% of its previous full-year forecast.

However, net profit slightly missed expectations, only making up 93% of the research house’s previous full-year forecast, mainly due to the higher administrative expenses incurred.

Revenue increased 12.5% to RM81.4mil in the fourth quarter of 2023 from RM72.4mil, as the sales contribution from the European and China markets showed a two-time jump to RM9.8mil and nearly 1.5 time jump to RM2.7mil, respectively.

With improving sales, pre-tax profit rose 22.8% to RM10.2mil from RM8.3mil, which gave an uptick of 1.1% to its pre-tax profit margin.

The company’s net profit increased marginally by 2.1% to RM8.9mil

Management has been aggressively buying back shares
When a company's management is actively repurchasing its own shares, it essentially means they are utilizing the company's capital to buy its own stock from the market. This reduces the number of shares available, which can increase the earnings per share (EPS) and potentially elevate the stock's price. Often, this action is seen as a bullish signal, implying that the management believes the company's shares are undervalued.

Share Buybacks: A share buyback or repurchase is a transaction where a company buys back its own shares from the marketplace. This reduces the number of outstanding shares, which can increase the ownership stake of remaining shareholders.
Earnings Per Share: Share buybacks can increase the company's earnings per share (EPS), a key metric used to gauge a company's profitability. With fewer shares outstanding, the EPS increases even if the company's net income stays the same.
Bullish Indicator: Management typically decides to buy back shares when they believe the stock is undervalued. This could signal that they expect the company's performance and stock price to improve in the future.
Investor Confidence: Aggressive share buybacks can bolster investor confidence. If the management is willing to invest its own capital back into the company, it might indicate that they are confident in the company's future prospects.
