Result Update

For QE31/3/2015, DLady's net profit increased by 34% q-o-q or 99% y-o-y to RM34 million while its revenue was mixed; dropped by 8% q-o-q but increased by 27% y-o-y to RM250 million. Revenue decreased by 8% q-o-q largely attributed to less selling days given the Chinese New Year festive period.  Profit before Tax increased by 33% driven by lower Cost of Goods and lower Distribution Expense.

Historical Financial Results

From the 16 years' P&L accounts, we can see that there were 3 years where earnings surged. These are 2004 (when PBT surpassed the RM20-21 million mark); 2009 (when PBT surpassed the RM60-65 million mark); and possibly 2015 (when PBT surpassed the previous all-time high of RM186 million). These are highlighted in the table below (in green).

In the previous 2 occasions (2004 & 2009), the share price rallied strongly. Since the current breakout in earning (surpassing 2013 high), the chance of the share rallying is fairly good.
