KUALA LUMPUR (June 25): Magni-Tech Industries Bhd shares fell as much as 75 sen or 15% to RM4.35, after the clothing manufacturer reported net profit declined to RM91.37 million in financial year ended April 30, 2018 (FY18), from RM120.1 million a year earlier. 

At noon break today, Magni-Tech was the biggest decliner across Bursa Malaysia. Magni-Tech fell 67 sen to RM4.43, with 1.35 million shares traded.

Public Investment Bank Bhd wrote in a note today: "Overall, FY18 was a weak-performing year, with revenue and core net profit both declined by 5.3% and 11.1% YoY respectively, mainly impacted by lower sale orders received, higher operating expenses (particularly labour costs) and unfavorable foreign exchange movements." 

"The results were within expectations at 101% and 98% of ours and consensus estimates, respectively. We maintain our Outperform call on Magni-Tech with an unchanged SOP (sum-of-parts)-based TP (target price) of RM6.40," Public Investment said.
