Eka Heights - The emerging gem within the Malaysia Vision Valley (MVV) Conurbation
Find a forever home against a backdrop of verdant landscapes and a tranquil lake at Eka Heights — Matrix Concepts Holdings Bhd’s new township development west of Seremban and minutes away from the developer’s established 6,800-acre Bandar Sri Sendayan.
HLIB said Notion has capitalised on recent market dynamics to bolster its sales across multiple segments.
The research house said following disruptions in its HDD spacer manufacturing due to a fire in 2017, Notion has seen a resurgence in demand as customers returned due to quality issues with other suppliers.
“Additionally, in electronic manufacturing services and automotive sectors, Notion has benefitted from the China+1 and Taiwan+1 strategies, as well as US tariff hikes on Chinese imports, positioning Malaysia as a preferred manufacturing hub in Asean.
“We opine that Notion deserves this valuation considering its impressive turnaround and longer visibility in its earnings growth trajectory,” it said.
