Stocks In Focus SG (Amtek Engineering, Lantrovision, Tiong Woon Corp) – 21/08/14

Amtek Engineering’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Amtek International, has agreed to the sale of all 52.3 million shares of Fischer Tech it currently holds for approximately $8.4 million, which translates to $0.16 per share.

Net proceeds of the sale will be used for general working capital, capital expenditure and investments of the group.

IPS Securex Holdings recorded a 31.2 percent jump in revenue to $12.4 million in FY14, underpinned by stronger contributions from both of its business segments.

However, a more than two-fold increase in administrative expenses eroded profitability. Coupled with higher income tax expenses, earnings contracted 35.2 percent to $1.1 million in FY14.

Lantrovision (S) registered a 19.7 percent increase in revenue to $40.3 million in 4Q14, primarily attributable to more installation projects in Malaysia, China, and the Philippines. Coupled with a decrease in other operating expenses, net profit rose 29.6 percent to $3.1 million in 4Q14. For the 12-month period, revenue and earnings grew 13.6 percent and 52.6 percent respectively, to $151.7 million and $13.9 million.
