Results Update
For QE31/1/2019, BJFood reported a net profit of RM9.0 million as compared to a net loss of RM11 million incurred in the same quarter last year. The net profit was 28% higher than the net profit reported in the immediate preceding quarter (QE31/10/2018). Revenue rose 8% q-o-q or 10% y-o-y to RM181 million.
Revenue rose q-o-q mainly due to the calendar year end festive promotions, school holidays and the Christmas season during the third quarter, which contributed positively to the higher profit from operations and pre-tax profit for the quarter under review.


Table: BJFood's last 8 quarterly results
If we exclude the extraordinary gain of RM158.6 million recognized in QE31/10/2014, the improved performance in the last quarter became quite clear. This gain was from the recognition of the gain arising from re-measurement of the 50% equity interest in BStarbucks.
Graph: BJFood's last 37 quarterly results

Conclusion
Based on improved financial performance and mildly positive technical outlook, I revise BJFood's rating to a HOLD. Upside maybe limited due to demanding valuation.
