PDS: Surges on CGS-CIMB initiation report by CGS CIMB Analyst

 

 

Summary:
Powermatic Data Systems, since CGS-CIMB’s initiation report yesterday (6 March), has leapt dramatically from $1.39 to close at $2.00, and made it to as high as $2.64 this morning.

PDS 2018 Report by CGS CIMB Analyst

 

 

Summary:

  • Powermatic’s core business is manufacturing a wide range of wireless connectivity hardware such as wireless modules, embedded boards and antenna.
  • As the company is able to offer hardware and software design capabilities, it also enjoys higher gross margins than its peers without design capabilities.
  • At the current share price, we believe that investors are getting Powermatic’s growing wireless connectivity business for free.
  • We initiate with an Add call as we expect the company to continue benefiting from the growing connectivity of devices and the advent of 5G telecommunications network.

Summary:

In a perfect investment world, Powermatic Data Systems’ stock would be trading at much higher prices. It’s not that complicated to make a case for that.

Its latest half-yearly profit (ended Sept 2017) came up to S$2.5 million, up 8% y-o-y. It’s yet another steady result.

S$ ‘m 1HFY18 2HFY17 1HFY17 2HFY16
Net Profit 2.5 1.9 2.3 1.6

What’s a standout, which has become even more so over the past couple of years, is the fact that its cash, its quoted investments and the value of its freehold property all add up to a figure far exceeding its market cap.
