Broadway has slumped 19% since its results release on 27 Oct.
This was mainly attributable to results which lagged analysts' estimates; mgmt tepid outlook and lacklustre guidance from HDD bellwethers such as Western Digital and Seagate.
Nevertheless, according to consensus estimates, it is currently priced at 4.7x FY10F PE, coupled with a 3.8% dividend yield. It is also attractive as a potential M&A target with positive cash flow, strong global market share of actuator arms and low valuations. There is potential for Broadway to hike its 4QFY10 dividend too.
Some risks would include a larger than expected slowdown in HDD flowing to 1HFY11. Earnings catalysts in FY11 are less exciting than in FY10 as growth normalises for its non-HDD division.
