Analyst Is Optimistic For Pentamaster's Long-Term Performance Despite Its 9M24 Result Misses Expectation
Despite the setbacks in its automotive division, Pentamaster remains optimistic about the future, particularly within its factory automation solutions (FAS) segment as the medical device industry's increased adoption of FAS for enhanced operational efficiency, safety and regulatory compliance presents significant growth opportunities. This shift is expected to offset the challenges in the automotive sector and contribute to long-term growth.
RHB Investment Bank Bhd's (RHB Research) has maintained a BUY call for Pentamaster Corp Bhd with a target price of RM5.95 despite the company's first nine months of 2024 (9M24) core net profit of RM63.6 million falling short of market expectations.
RHb投資銀行私人有限公司（RHb研究）已經維持了對檳傑科達有限公司的買入看漲建議，目標價爲RM5.95，儘管該公司2024年前9個月（9M24）的核心淨利潤爲RM6360萬，低於市場預期。
The research house attributed the underperformance to a weaker-than-expected recovery in the automotive sector, plagued by the impact of new policies and tariffs imposed by the US and Europe on Chinese-made electric vehicles (EVs).

儘管汽車部門出現挫折，檳傑科達仍對未來保持樂觀，特別是在其工廠自動化解決方案（FAS）板塊內，因爲器械行業對於提高運營效率、安全性和監管合規性採用FAS的增加呈現出重要的增長機會。預計這種轉變將抵消汽車行業面臨的挑戰，並促成長期增長。
RHB Research said these areas are expected to drive future growth, alongside the company's focus on improving operational efficiencies.
