KUALA LUMPUR: Sam Engineering & Equipment (M) Bhd, which posted a 60% jump in net profit for the first quarter ended June 30 (1Q25), remains cautiously optimistic on the long-term outlook for its aerospace and semiconductor equipment segments. In 1Q25, SAM Engineering recorded a net profit of RM16.2mil, up 60.3% from RM10.1mil a year earlier. Earnings per share rose to 2.39 sen from 1.49 sen previously.

Wafer Fab Equipment (WFE) sales are projected to grow 6.2% to US$110.8bil in 2025, driven mainly by advanced logic (3nm and below) and EUV/High-NA lithography. Global integrated circuit (IC) inventory is expected to increase 2.5% quarter-on-quarter to US$69.5bil in 3Q25.

SAM Engineering & Equipment (M) Berhad's (KLSE:SAM) investors will be pleased with their impressive 231% return over the last five years
The worst result, after buying shares in a company (assuming no leverage), would be if you lose all the money you put in. But on a lighter note, a good company can see its share price rise well over 100%. For instance, the price of SAM Engineering & Equipment (M) Berhad (KLSE:SAM) stock is up an impressive 207% over the last five years. And in the last month, the share price has gained 18%. We note that SAM Engineering & Equipment (M) Berhad reported its financial results recently; luckily, you can catch up on the latest revenue and profit numbers in our company report. So let's assess the underlying fundamentals over the last 5 years and see if they've moved in lock-step with shareholder returns. This technology could replace computers: discover the 20 stocks are working to make quantum computing a reality. In his essay The Superinvestors of Graham-and-Doddsville Warren Buffett described how share prices do not always rationally reflect the value of a business. By comparing earnings per share (EPS) and share price changes over time, we can get a feel for how investor attitudes to a company have morphed over time. During five years of share price growth, SAM Engineering & Equipment (M) Berhad actually saw its EPS drop 1.7% per year. By glancing at these numbers, we'd posit that the decline in earnings per share is not representative of how the business has changed over the years. Since the change in EPS doesn't seem to correlate with the change in share price, it's worth taking a look at other metrics. We doubt the modest 0.8% dividend yield is attracting many buyers to the stock. In contrast revenue growth of 13% per year is probably viewed as evidence that SAM Engineering & Equipment (M) Berhad is growing, a real positive. It's quite possible that management are prioritizing revenue growth over EPS growth at the moment. You can see below how earnings and revenue have changed over time (discover the exact values by clicking on the image). Take a more thorough look at SAM Engineering & Equipment (M) Berhad's financial health with this free report on its balance sheet. As well as measuring the share price return, investors should also consider the total shareholder return (TSR). The TSR incorporates the value of any spin-offs or discounted capital raisings, along with any dividends, based on the assumption that the dividends are reinvested. It's fair to say that the TSR gives a more complete picture for stocks that pay a dividend. We note that for SAM Engineering & Equipment (M) Berhad the TSR over the last 5 years was 231%, which is better than the share price return mentioned above. The dividends paid by the company have thusly boosted the total shareholder return. We regret to report that SAM Engineering & Equipment (M) Berhad shareholders are down 33% for the year (even including dividends). Unfortunately, that's worse than the broader market decline of 6.0%. However, it could simply be that the share price has been impacted by broader market jitters. It might be worth keeping an eye on the fundamentals, in case there's a good opportunity. Longer term investors wouldn't be so upset, since they would have made 27%, each year, over five years. It could be that the recent sell-off is an opportunity, so it may be worth checking the fundamental data for signs of a long term growth trend.
