Valuetronics’ ICE segment up for strong years ahead

Gross margins to stay above 19%.

Valuetronics is pretty much set for the long-term, with profits expected to increase gradually over the years.

According to a report by OSK-DMG, the company’s industrial and commercial electronics (ICE) segment is expected to register 20% annual revenue growth over FY16-17, with gross margins staying above 19% as it diversifies and expands its customer base. Growth in this segment would expand the group’s overall margins and lift Valuetronics NPAT over the years.

As of FY14, management has officially set a formal dividend payout policy with a similar range of 30% to 50% of NPAT.

Analysts expect Valuetronics to consistently pay out above 40% of its NPAT going forward and potentially a special dividend if it manages to do well, like in FY14. This would result in a potential dividend yield range of 8-9%.

Phillips, which OSK-DMG suspects to be Valuetronics’ largest customer, is now seeking to list and grow its lighting business – and a successful listing will be a positive catalyst for Valuetronics.

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.
