SD Guthrie Berhad (SDG)’s 1QFY24 results came in below expectations. Excluding all exceptional items, the core net profit surged over 100% YoY to RM229mn, in tandem with a 6.7% increase in revenue. However, the core net profit represented only 15% and 16% of our and consensus' fullyear estimates, respectively, due to lower-than-expected margins.
