Nationgate 1Q net profit more than doubles to RM53.88mil
KUALA LUMPUR: Nationgate Holdings Bhd posted a net profit of RM53.88 million for the first quarter ended March 31, 2025 (1Q 2025), more than doubled the RM21.01 million recorded in the same period last year. Revenue surged to RM2.84 billion from RM207.01 million previously, boosted by strong demand in data computing segment, it said in a filing with Bursa Malaysia. On prospects, the company said despite the challenges from geopolitical tensions and trade disputes, it remains optimistic and confident with the opportunities that lie ahead, particularly in the electronics manufacturing services industry, which are expected to experience notable developments and transformation. This will be driven by several factors, including the shifting of more manufacturing operations out of China, technological advancements, digital transformation, and increased enquiries from data centre providers. NationGate has declared an interim dividend of 0.25 sen per share for the financial year ending Dec 31, 2025. - Bernama

An Intrinsic Calculation For Pentamaster Corporation Berhad (KLSE:PENTA) Suggests It's 26% Undervalued
Pentamaster Corporation Berhad's estimated fair value is RM3.82 based on 2 Stage Free Cash Flow to Equity Pentamaster Corporation Berhad is estimated to be 26% undervalued based on current share price of RM2.84 Our fair value estimate is 1.4% lower than Pentamaster Corporation Berhad's analyst price target of RM3.87 How far off is Pentamaster Corporation Berhad (KLSE:PENTA) from its intrinsic value? Using the most recent financial data, we'll take a look at whether the stock is fairly priced by taking the expected future cash flows and discounting them to today's value. This will be done using the Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) model. There's really not all that much to it, even though it might appear quite complex. We would caution that there are many ways of valuing a company and, like the DCF, each technique has advantages and disadvantages in certain scenarios. For those who are keen learners of equity analysis, the Simply Wall St analysis model here may be something of interest to you. View our latest analysis for Pentamaster Corporation Berhad We're using the 2-stage growth model, which simply means we take in account two stages of company's growth. In the initial period the company may have a higher growth rate and the second stage is usually assumed to have a stable growth rate. In the first stage we need to estimate the cash flows to the business over the next ten years. Where possible we use analyst estimates, but when these aren't available we extrapolate the previous free cash flow (FCF) from the last estimate or reported value. We assume companies with shrinking free cash flow will slow their rate of shrinkage, and that companies with growing free cash flow will see their growth rate slow, over this period. We do this to reflect that growth tends to slow more in the early years than it does in later years. A DCF is all about the idea that a dollar in the future is less valuable than a dollar today, so we need to discount the sum of these future cash flows to arrive at a present value estimate: 2025 2026 2027 2028 2029 2030 2031 2032 2033 2034 Levered FCF (MYR, Millions) RM40.9m RM106.8m RM143.9m RM166.1m RM183.1m RM198.2m RM211.8m RM224.3m RM236.0m RM247.1m Growth Rate Estimate Source Analyst x2 Analyst x4 Analyst x4 Analyst x1 Est @ 10.26% Est @ 8.26% Est @ 6.86% Est @ 5.88% Est @ 5.20% Est @ 4.72% Present Value (MYR, Millions) Discounted @ 9.6% RM37.3 RM88.9 RM109 RM115 RM116 RM114 RM112 RM108 RM104 RM99.0 ("Est" = FCF growth rate estimated by Simply Wall St)Present Value of 10-year Cash Flow (PVCF) = RM1.0b After calculating the present value of future cash flows in the initial 10-year period, we need to calculate the Terminal Value, which accounts for all future cash flows beyond the first stage. The Gordon Growth formula is used to calculate Terminal Value at a future annual growth rate equal to the 5-year average of the 10-year government bond yield of 3.6%. We discount the terminal cash flows to today's value at a cost of equity of 9.6%. Terminal Value (TV)= FCF2034 × (1 + g) ÷ (r – g) = RM247m× (1 + 3.6%) ÷ (9.6%– 3.6%) = RM4.3b Present Value of Terminal Value (PVTV)= TV / (1 + r)10= RM4.3b÷ ( 1 + 9.6%)10= RM1.7b The total value, or equity value, is then the sum of the present value of the future cash flows, which in this case is RM2.7b. The last step is to then divide the equity value by the number of shares outstanding. Compared to the current share price of RM2.8, the company appears a touch undervalued at a 26% discount to where the stock price trades currently. The assumptions in any calculation have a big impact on the valuation, so it is better to view this as a rough estimate, not precise down to the last cent. Now the most important inputs to a discounted cash flow are the discount rate, and of course, the actual cash flows. You don't have to agree with these inputs, I recommend redoing the calculations yourself and playing with them. The DCF also does not consider the possible cyclicality of an industry, or a company's future capital requirements, so it does not give a full picture of a company's potential performance. Given that we are looking at Pentamaster Corporation Berhad as potential shareholders, the cost of equity is used as the discount rate, rather than the cost of capital (or weighted average cost of capital, WACC) which accounts for debt. In this calculation we've used 9.6%, which is based on a levered beta of 1.009. Beta is a measure of a stock's volatility, compared to the market as a whole. We get our beta from the industry average beta of globally comparable companies, with an imposed limit between 0.8 and 2.0, which is a reasonable range for a stable business.

Dividend is low compared to the top 25% of dividend payers in the Machinery market. Opportunity Annual earnings are forecast to grow faster than the Malaysian market. Trading below our estimate of fair value by more than 20%. Threat Revenue is forecast to grow slower than 20% per year. Although the valuation of a company is important, it ideally won't be the sole piece of analysis you scrutinize for a company. The DCF model is not a perfect stock valuation tool. Preferably you'd apply different cases and assumptions and see how they would impact the company's valuation. For instance, if the terminal value growth rate is adjusted slightly, it can dramatically alter the overall result. What is the reason for the share price sitting below the intrinsic value?
