@Trust..yes thank you for your info and you know what it does not matter as I have already profited 300% from QES so what were you saying again??? No one is interested to know what you want to buy or dont buy, everyone is only interested in what they want to buy!!!

Expanding manufacturing business
"Currently, 16% to 18% of QES’ revenue comes from its manufacturing division, and the remaining 80%-plus from its distribution division."
News two weeks ago already stated this. Its good that they are ambitious on expanding their businesses.

3% retracement only. No scare. Should make a base around 0.840 for few days. Still uptrend. But trend can change

The YouTube analysts are like grandparents. They say kids cannot eat chicken feet, because will make your handwriting become cakar ayam. Then they say old people can eat, because old people no need to write. So they eat your chicken feet. Get what I mean?

That is why I said, don't waste your time listening to whatever analyst talk, discussion, stock-picking..It's a waste of time.. Often, they just state the obvious..If analysts can believe, pig can fly.. Better utilize your time for a more meaningful event, whichever it is..cheers..

The analyst want to wait QES price go high RM5 (profits already booming) only buy. While we savvy investors we buy before the crowd buy as we can see the potential. We invest in grow company not invest when the company already become blue chip stock.

Well, they are useful to make the price drop so we can buy cheaper, sadly I don't have extra capital. Their comment make others dump their shares right now, hence the drop today.

On another note, I should watch their YouTube, when they say sell, then I buy.

LOOKING up at its bigger peers, Shah Alam-based automated test equipment (ATE) manufacturer QES Group Bhd can already see itself among their ranks in the not-too-distant future.

Also its largest shareholder, QES managing director and president Chew Ne Weng, is not shy about the group’s ambition to become an equipment giant.

“People often ask me whether QES can be as big as ViTrox, Pentamaster, Greatech and MI Technovation. I don’t discount such possibilities. That’s our plan actually. It is where we want to be one day. To me, it is all about hitting the volume and scale,” he tells The Edge in a virtual interview.

According to him, the fixed costs of QES’ manufacturing business is expected to reach a constant level, and when it reaches an inflection point, any additional revenue that comes in will largely be profit.

“I would say we are at the 60% to 70% level of reaching that inflection point. We will scale it up, and once we hit the inflection point, our profit will grow significantly within the next two to three years. By then, hopefully, our market capitalisation could reach RM1 billion,” says Chew.

Year to date, shares in QES have more than doubled. The stock closed at 62 sen last Thursday, which translates into a market capitalisation of RM517.17 million. In comparison, its better known peers MI Technovation, Pentamaster, Greatech and ViTrox have a market capitalisation of between RM2.56 billion and RM7.34 billion.

QES started in 1991 as a distributor of test, inspection and measuring equipment, before eventually becoming a manufacturer of these equipment. Today, the group has two core business divisions — namely, distribution and manufacturing.

Following the company’s listing on the ACE Market of Bursa Malaysia in 2018, many investors and fund managers have expressed particular interest in its manufacturing division, which makes equipment for the semiconductor industry.

“We have quite a large spectrum of product lines, covering various test and inspection processes, from wafer fabs all the way to test and assembly. We have all the equipment for wafer inspection, post-wafer probing and post-dicing, wafer sorting and handling, as well as wafer packing and unpacking,” Chew elaborates.

“The only area that we don’t cover is the final test, which we think is a very crowded space. The likes of ViTrox and Pentamaster are covering this area, while many other non-listed local players are there too,” he explains.

In the distribution business, QES distributes the products of principals — from countries such as Japan, the US and Europe — in the Asean region.

“We have offices in Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia, the Philippines and Vietnam. Of course, we also sell our own products in these markets, but the product range is different as we don’t want to compete directly with our principals,” stresses 58-year-old Chew, who co-founded QES and is the single largest shareholder with a 30.84% stake in the company.

Despite posting a slight dip in revenue in the financial year ended Dec 31, 2020, QES’ earnings jumped 2.6 times to RM8.7 million from RM3.3 million a year ago.

In the first quarter ended March 31, 2021, net profit soared to a new record high of RM6.9 million, representing a year-on-year growth of 176% from RM2.49 million a year earlier. As at March 31, cash and cash equivalents stood at RM69.4 million.

Commenting on stock valuations, Chew observes that QES had been trading at a historical price-earnings ratio (PER) of more than 60 times. But in the aftermath of its latest financial results on May 19, its PER has been reduced substantially to about 38 times currently.

“If you compare our PER with other ATE manufacturers, you will realise that QES has a good value proposition. Our stock valuation still appears to be rather attractive,” he asserts.

Expanding manufacturing business

Currently, 16% to 18% of QES’ revenue comes from its manufacturing division, and the remaining 80%-plus from its distribution division.

The beauty of QES’ distribution business, Chew points out, is that it provides the group with a huge chunk of recurring income, given that it had installed more than 12,000 units of equipment in the Asean region and other parts of the world over the past 30 years.

“These equipment need to be maintained and serviced regularly. Every year, we would consistently collect a recurring income of about RM40 million, which constitutes 20% to 25% of our group revenue. In other words, our recurring income from the distribution division alone is bigger than our manufacturing division.”

Nevertheless, the manufacturing division will remain a key pillar to be built up over the next two to three years. “We hope the manufacturing business [will be able to] contribute up to 30%-40% of our group revenue. This is one area that we think we can grow exponentially,” says Chew.

Unlike its distribution business — where it is an Asean specialist but still needs to follow its principals’ strategic dire

They are expanding their manufacturing production line, doubled the capacity once the new factory ready, if no actual demand also won't do pp buy new factory for expansion, few new product will be launching by this year end, the current share price only reflect on this prospect, if the MOU materialize the share price will rocket to RM2 above.

PE still cheap for a growing Semicon company..don't regret it after QES becomes investment grade stock, too late to catch up for a small fly like us...

Comparing FACEBOOK and QES - FACEBOOK return from lowest to now 894% in 10 years time Vs QES return from lowest to today 955% to 1000% ....in less than 3 years and GROWING BIGGER..

See the power of GROWTH STOCK....very different from Investment grade stock..

U miss FACEBOOK in the past, don't miss QES , If u miss VITROX in the past don't miss QES now...

masuk sebelum terlambat....
