After revenue miss, will Frencken still recover?

Shareholders may expect a recovery in the second half of 2023.

Tech firm, Frencken, was faced with a revenue miss in the third quarter (Q3) of 2022, which declined 0.6% year-on-year to $195.3m.

To blame for the low revenue were the slower recovery in its automotive business and weaker Euro value, according to a brokerage report.

"Frencken's Q322 revenue of S$195.3m (-0.6% YoY) was 16.6% below our S$234.3m expectation," said CGS-CIMB.

Insights from CGS-CIMB also showed that they downgrade Frencken, with a target price cut to $0.95.

CGS-CIMB said the business environment may recover starting the second half of next year.

"Upside risks are a less severe slowdown in its semiconductor business segment, better cost controls, and greater concessions from customers on cost pass on by Frencken," said the capital markets firm.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
