Scientex Berhad (KLSE: SCIENTX) presents a mixed outlook for the coming weeks, influenced by sector-specific challenges and strategic growth initiatives. 
⸻
? Recent Performance & Short-Term Outlook
In the second quarter of FY2025, Scientex reported a 12.1% decline in net profit, amounting to RM123.95 million, compared to RM141.01 million in the same quarter the previous year. Earnings per share decreased to 7.97 sen from 9.09 sen. This downturn is attributed to intense competition in the industrial packaging sector, inflationary pressures, and foreign currency fluctuations . 
Short-term forecasts suggest a modest recovery, with price targets ranging between RM3.60 and RM3.61 over the next two weeks . Given the current market volatility, significant upward movement may be limited in the immediate term. 
⸻
?️ Property Division: A Beacon of Strength
Contrasting the packaging segment, Scientex’s property division demonstrates robust performance. The company has observed strong market interest in recent property launches and has made strategic land acquisitions in areas such as Bestari Jaya (Selangor), Jawi (Penang), Pulai (Johor), and Paya Rumput (Melaka) . These moves are expected to bolster the division’s market presence and contribute positively to future earnings.  
⸻
? Analyst Sentiment & Price Targets
Analysts maintain a positive stance on Scientex, with 12-month price targets ranging from RM3.64 to RM5.75, and an average target of RM4.30, indicating a potential upside of approximately 16.8% from current levels . The consensus recommendation is a “Buy”, reflecting confidence in the company’s long-term prospects. 
⸻
? Strategic Considerations
Scientex’s dual-engine business model, encompassing both packaging and property development, provides a buffer against sector-specific downturns. While the packaging segment faces near-term challenges, the property division’s resilience and growth potential offer a counterbalance. Investors may consider a cautious approach in the short term, with an eye on long-term gains as the company’s strategic initiatives materialize. 
24th April 25. Perusing thru last few years metrics of revenue, profit margin abt 12%, earnings, dividends, dv policy of 30%, dv yield, debt abt 933m, 252m cash as in mid 2024, expect earnings & dividends to be cut in 2025.
At RM3.38 it's grossly overpriced.. Even sustaining 12c dividend, price should be RM2.40-2.70 based on dv yield.
Don't get screwed by high priced tickets. It's time shareholders get reasonable priced shares with good dv yield at below RM3.
Those who got screwed above RM4.50 please go AGM and demand for higher dv payout ha ha
For those new investors, Scientx is not a great Co. with outstanding awesome metrics, as one would think. It's just another average property Co and plastic film producer struggling to gain market shares in an ever challenging biz environment.
Take your money to where it is treated best. Good luck guys
If property earnings is good thus the next quarter should pose a better result n ultimately the yearly profit shall be more likewise the dividend payout shall increase in tandem
You've been calling to buy Scientx last year when price was RM4.5++ ha ha
Why don't you analyse the metrics of Scientx instead of copying from AI dumbo, ha ha
If PJ have to come in to prop up the price, that should tell you something is very wrong with this stock. Ha ha, it's still overpriced at 337c.
Earnings to drop further ha ha
