This year results are expected to be good and recent movement appears to be because of new investors taking a stake.. as for the current price, depends on whether u think it fully values the full year result or now.

CGS-CIMB keeps 'buy' for AEM following unchanged sales guidance, business contingency measures

CGS-CIMB keeps 'buy' for AEM following unchanged sales guidance, business contingency measures

https://www.theedgesingapore.com/ca...unchanged-sales-guidance-business-contingency

SINGAPORE (March 23): CGS-CIMB Research is confident of AEM Holdings’ prospects despite the disruption in the latter’s operations as a result of the outbreak of the novel coronavirus (Covid-19).

This comes after the semiconductor manufacturer on March 19 guided that its full year sales of $360 million to $380 million remains unchanged.

The company also expects to record sales of $135 million to $145 million in 1Q 2020.

Further to that, the company announced that it has activated its business continuity plan across its operations and supply chain.

The measures adopted included travel restrictions, compulsory temperature checking, advisory on personal hygiene, working on shifts at different sites or from home, and ordering materials from alternative sources.

“We reiterate our current add call and [target price] of $2.71, based on an unchanged Gordon growth-derived [price-to-book] multiple of 4.05 times,” CGS-CIMB analyst Willian Tng writes in a note dated March 20.

On March 18, Malaysia imposed a movement control order (MCO) in the aim of slowing the spread of Covid-19.

This required the closure of all business premises, except for those supplying essentials, such as supermarkets and pharmacies. The MCO is expected to last until March 31.

CGS-CIMB notes that AEM’s key customer – Intel – is maintaining above-90% on-time delivery of its products from the latter’s factories worldwide.

As at 11.22 am, AEM was down 11 cents or 7% at $1.46, with 5.8 million shares changed hands.

AEM remains 'best and biggest port' amid Covid-19 storm: KGI

AEM remains 'best and biggest port' amid Covid-19 storm: KGI

https://www.theedgesingapore.com/ca...best-and-biggest-port-amid-covid-19-storm-kgi

SINGAPORE (May 14): As many companies settle for lower earnings and revenue due to the Covid-19 pandemic, AEM Holdings bucked the trend with its ‘best quarter on record’ for 1QFY2020 ended March.

The provider of equipment systems solutions and manufacturing services booked earnings of $43.8 million, a 449% surge compared to the previous year. This came on the back of a 179% increase in revenue to $146.8 million from $52.7 million in 1QFY2019, due to increased orders from its main customer, Intel.

KGI Research analyst Kenny Tan notes that the company’s profit margins improved to 24.6% from 16.3% last year due to the group’s ability to maintain high levels of production with a low fixed cost structure.

As far as 2020 is concerned, AEM is looking to garner sales within the range of $430 million and $450 million, a significant hike from its previous guidance rage of $360 million to $380 million. And Tan remains confident that this is highly likely.

“The only dark spots, if any, is the lack of contributions from subsidiary segments, in which no segmental breakdown was provided,” says Tan.

“Furthermore, none of 1QFY2020’s revenues were rushed production pull-ins from later quarters. AEM also confirmed that orders were still coming in,” he adds.

To be sure, Tan says the guidance raise reflects a “changing sentiment” due to continued orders from Intel. In addition, companies in the tech sector can generally remain defensive amid the Covid-19 pandemic.

“The tech sector, semiconductor industry included, has generally weathered the Covid-19 crisis fairly well,” shares Tan.

“Fellow test equipment peers have generally performed above expectations, confirming earlier theories that the disruption is mainly supply-side and not demand-side,” he adds.

Looking ahead, the brokerage is expecting a “conservative” net margin of 18.5% for the company, citing these to be fairly defensible for the time being.

As AEM ramps up production of the latest generation of test handlers, Tan opines that margins are likely to increase even more.

However, Tan remains cautious about the escalation of pandemic which could lead to supplier delays and order cancellations, as well as the possibility of competitors’ R&D efforts weakening AEM’s market position.

KGI is reiterating its “outperform” call on AEM Holdings with a higher target price of $3.61 compared to the previous one of $2.60.

Year to date, shares in AEM have surged some 50.2% to trade at $3.15 as at 3.19pm.
