Pantech Performance Analysis

PANTECH's recent net profit increased 21.9% year over year to RM28.74 million, and announced that it will distribute a dividend of 1.5 cents per share. Pantech's trading business performed strongly during the quarter, while losses in investment and management business were also reduced. The increase in quarterly results was mainly due to strong demand in the local oil and gas sector and optimization of the product structure. Together, these factors contributed to profitable growth in the trading business. However, the manufacturing business was affected by falling steel demand and falling ASP.

Looking forward to the future, Pengda Group is optimistic about the prospects in the oil and gas sector. It is expected that stronger oil prices will further boost investment in the maintenance and upgrading of oil and gas facilities. Steel has also been on the rise recently. I believe his steel ASP will increase next quarter. Stronger oil prices will further push gasoline companies to build facilities and benefit Pantch.

Furthermore, Pengda Group is considering listing its subsidiaries Pengda Stainless Steel and Alloy Industry Private Limited and Pengda Steel Industry Private Limited on the Malaysian Stock Exchange through special purpose tools. The company's board of directors pointed out that the listing plan is still in the early stages and requires extensive preparation work, so there are currently no specific listing details to be provided.

Currently, Pantech's PE is only 8.42; DY is also at 5.77%.
