Memtech International (MTEC SP) Continued Drag From High Raw Material Costs
Key takeaways from our recent Asian Gems Investor Conference: a) high raw material costs could continue to drag gross margin; b) tighter environmental and labour regulations in China could lift operating costs; and c) expect a better 2019 on more new projects, but near-term outlook could remain soft. We cut our 2018-20 net profit forecasts by 4.6-5.0%, and our target price by 12.0% to S$0.95, based on peers’ average 2018F PE of 9.8x (from 10.7x). Maintain HOLD. Entry price: S$0.75.
