vested some 2 days ago......hope it will cheong all the way to 0.7 before the next sti correction...
Innotek's share buyback has been very aggressive and consistent. The theory i read is that Innotek is buying back shares at a cheap price, and is confident that its share price can rise further cos of 1Q and 2Q results.
Company has said that the performacne will be better.
The mkt theory is that when the stock price rises further, the company can do a placement by selling the buyback shares at a higher price.
I think that is a very big bet. The company must be damn sure of their business performance.
me just in at 515...joining the innotek family....great dividend yield and company also got hope to grow further...... hmmm hope this turns out to be a true GEM
Firm on lookout for M&A opportunities, focus on
earnings accretive companies
By TIMOTHY SEOW
MAINBOARD-listed Innotek - which for the second year running has proposed a
final dividend of five cents a share - says that its high dividend payouts will
continue in the long term and it is also on the lookout for merger and
acquisition opportunities.
Mr Yong: Believes that the high dividends are sustainable in the long
term as the firm has cash and a strong base of customers
Innotek's new managing director Yong Kok Hoon told BT that the company is
positioning itself as a high-divided stock because it is not in a 'very sexy
kind of sector' and thus does not attract sufficient attention.
In recent years, Innotek has rewarded shareholders handsomely. It paid
dividends of 10 cents a share in 2007 and 2008 after the $180 million sale of
its hard disk drive (HDD) business to Japan's TDK. Including last year, the
total dividend payout in the past three years has amounted to $59 million.
A share price of around 44 cents means that Innotek's proposed dividend of
five cents a share makes for a yield of around 11 per cent. This equates to a
total payout of $11.6 million. And subject to shareholder approval, that will
take place on May 26.
Mr Yong, who was previously Innotek's chief financial officer, believes that
the high dividends are 'sustainable' in the long term. 'First, we have cash, and
second, we are very stable with a strong base of customers,' he said.
Innotek has strong cashflow and can pay out from operations alone, as it has
low capital expenditure and high depreciation costs, he said. It is also not
dipping into cash reserves.
Innotek, which used to be known as Magnecomp International, enjoyed a huge
turnaround in fortunes in FY2009, recording net profit of $7.6 million, compared
with a net loss of $7 million the year before.
This was achieved despite a fall in revenue to $361.5 million in FY2009, from
$421.6 million in FY2008 - a result of cost-cutting measures, efficiency
improvements and lower raw material prices.
Mr Yong expects a 'better year-on-year performance for Q1 2010 and FY
2010'.
In the meantime, Innotek is on the alert for possible M&A opportunities,
focusing especially on earnings accretive companies that can 'boost its bottom
line'.
Such companies will preferably be 'synergistic with its manufacturing
operations', said Mr Yong, though he 'does not rule out something small, but
with high growth potential, such as the alternative energy sector that could
have high growth or margins'.
The 2007 sale of its HDD business marked a significant change in its
strategy, as it sold a more 'sexy' but also 'more volatile' business and moved
into a 'more stable' one, Mr Yong said.
In 2008, it used funds from the HDD sale to buy the remaining shares of
Mansfield Manufacturing Company, a precision metal component manufacturer that
is now its wholly owned subsidiary.
Mr Yong said that Innotek is seeking to expand into the more 'high-margin'
business of medical equipment and automotive parts, which now make up 5 per cent
and 9 per cent of overall revenue.
