Global Testing
Wafer sorting business to recover starting 2Q07 New fabless customers and engineering services contract cushioned impact of inventory adjustments in 4Q06. Global Testing was affected by inventory adjustments at TSMC, Sunplus, Realtek and NXP (previously Philips Semiconductor) in 4Q06. TSMC reported a 9.1% qoq decline in revenue in 4Q06 and is likely to have pulled wafer sorting requirements to in-house facilities. Sunplus and Realtek reported 22.9% and 20.6% qoq decline in revenue respectively in 4Q06. Weakness mentioned above was partially offset by strong demand for LCD TV controllers from Mstar and Techwell. Global Testing also secured a cluster of new medium-sized fabless customers Global Unichip (system-on-chip), Airgo (wireless network), Open Silicon (ASIC), Silicon Image (HDMI interface) and Attansic (PC and networking). Overall utilisation was estimated at 70% in 4Q06, lower than previous guidance of 80%. There was contribution from engineering services contract from a US-based customer. TSMC looks forward to recovery by Mar 07. TSMC expects inventory correction to continue into 1Q07. It guided further sequential revenue contraction of 14.6% to 17.3% in 1Q07 but business will begin to recover by Mar 07. Loading from TSMC will increase from 2Q07 onwards as Global Testing gains allocation from a Taiwan-based competitor. Secured PC graphics business from Nvidia. Global Testing will commence wafer sorting for PC graphics chips from Nvidia in Mar 07. Nvidia is gaining market share after AMD acquired competitor ATi. The project provides higher revenue per hour of test time due to high technical complexity requiring vertical probe cards. Nvidia has also increased the requirements for pre-production testing services at Global Testing?s facility at Sunnyvale, California. More from Marvell in 3Q07. Global Testing?s largest customer Marvell has acquired Intel?s communications and application processor business. The business unit develops processors based on XScale technology for smart phones and personal digital assistants (PDAs) such as Blackberry 8700, Palm Treo and Motorola Q. Wafer sorting services for the new range of Communications products will start contributing in 3Q07. Recovery led by demand from PC industry. Utilisation will remain low in 1Q07 due to shutdown of nine days for Chinese New Year. Wafer sorting business will see recovery starting Mar 07 driven by pick up in demand from the PC industry. From a customer perspective, the recovery will be led by TSMC (gaining allocation), Marvell (HDD controllers) and Nvidia (PC graphics). Global Testing will ride the recovery in the semiconductor starting 2Q07 after excess inventory are digested in 1Q07. Reiterate BUY. Valuation remains a key attraction with FY07 PE at 6.2x and P/B at 0.9x. Our Target price of S$0.44 is based on FY07 EV/EBITDA of 5x. Quoting from 7711 of CNA markettalk forum Vested |

I bought 30 lots yesterday at 0.235 which was the support price since 13/12/06. Stockchastic %D blue is going to cross up above 20%, and RS1 is at oversold. Volume is rising, MACD-H(12,26) has turned green and hope its MACD will cross up the red signal line soon..... Hope it can go up to 0.26 as i see as 1st resistant line. |

I surely hope so... lost faith on this one already. It has taken thiiiiiiis long and still hovers around 24c. In the past few rounds, whenever CSM and STATS moved, I was hopeful it will move too. The move never materialised leh... |
