SUMMARY
Buy recommendation on this stock is maintained with
conservative target price RM2.80. However, I believe share
price can go beyond RM2.80 due to the merits stated as per
below. In latest quarterly report 2Q20, Magni has reported
17.8% YoY increase in Revenue and 28.7% YoY increase in
net profit. Such growth in Revenue and Net Profit are
contributed by higher order received in garment segment.
MERIT
• Tokyo Olympics and UEFA European
Championship. These sport events in 2020 are
expected to boost demand for sportwear.
• Expansion. Magni has completed 2-phase expansion
plan by September 2019. The manufacturing capacity
has been increased from 37m pieces p.a. previously to
45m pieces p.a. currently. It also plan to increase the
capacity to 50m p.a. in 2020.
• Beneficiary of Trade war. Demand of garment may
switch to ASEAN countries in the midst of trade wars
between US and China.
• Strong Financial Position. Magni has clean balance
(no debt or net cash), posting stable growth in earnings
and dividend and constantly pay dividend.
• Directors acquisition of share. In between August
2019 and August 2018, TPS and TKP has increased
shareholdings from 34.9m to 38.1m and from 30.3m to
31.3m respectively. I believe the acquisition is reflecting
positive or even better prospect ahead.
DEMERIT
• Weakening USD/MYR. Magni has derived most of its
Revenue denominated in USD, although most of the
costs are also denominated in USD, the weakening of
USD definitely has some -ve impact on the earnings.
• Rising Labour costs. Labour costs in Vietnam has
been increased(exhibit 1) due to increase of investment
from China to the region. At Malaysia side, minimum
wages would be increased to RM1,200 from RM1,100
previously.
• One single and the largest customer. Magni has been
rely on Nike Inc in the past year. I believe it would be still
the same in the foreseen future.
