$KOTRA / 0002 (KOTRA INDUSTRIES BERHAD)
Research by CGS
Reduce - TP RM3.70
"Slightly stronger end to a weak FY24"
■ FY6/24 core net profit came in at RM51.1m, above expectations as higher revenue and better margins more than offset higher effective tax rate.
■ Its domestic supplement sales improved slightly in 4QFY24, but still at low levels overall with domestic pharmaceutical demand also weakening.
■ Reiterate Reduce as we expect Kotra’s earnings to decline further in FY25F, due to normalising tax rates, before rebounding in FY26F.
