ES Ceramics Technology Berhad (KLSE:ESCERAM) reported its third quarter 2024 financial results, showing an increase in revenue to RM87.7 million, up 7.5% from the same quarter in 2023. However, the net income decreased significantly to RM773.5k, down 84% from the previous year. The profit margin also declined to 0.9% from 5.9% in 3Q 2023, primarily due to higher expenses. Earnings per share (EPS) decreased to RM0.001 from RM0.009 in the third quarter of 2023.
ES Ceramics Technology Berhad’s share price has remained relatively stable over the past week, but investors should still be aware of three warning signs before making investment decisions in this company:
1) Higher expenses have led to a significant decrease in net income and profit margin, indicating that the company may be facing challenges with cost control and pricing strategy.
2) The decline in EPS indicates that there may be dilution of ownership due to potential future equity issuances or acquisitions, which could impact long-term value creation for shareholders.
3) The revenue growth rate has slowed down compared to previous quarters and years, suggesting that the company may face challenges with market demand and competition, which could impact future revenue growth prospects.
Investors should carefully consider these warning signs when making investment decisions in ES Ceramics Technology Berhad and conduct thorough research on the company’s financial health and growth potential before investing their money.
