併購效益下半年發酵 源宗股價率先漲10仙

財經股市5 Apr 2013 20:32
（吉隆坡5日訊）源宗集團（GCB，5102，主要板消費）股價走勢強勁，券商看好新併購將在今年下半年顯效益，今日早盤一舉突破目標價，一度達去年10月以來最高水平。

今早開市時，源宗集團仍未發威，僅以平盤1.81令吉迎市，不久后股項漸見升勢，早盤步步走高，並以早盤最高水平1.94令吉休市，漲13仙，成交量77萬400股，列今早十大上升股榜。

與同業估值差距大

該股上一次達到1.90令吉水平為去年10月底，除了是逾5個月最高水平，亦一舉突破黃氏星展唯高達證券研究給予的1.90令吉目標價；午盤該股持續上揚，但后勁稍嫌不足，閉市時掛1.91令吉，起10仙，成交量92萬5800股。

黃氏星展唯高達證券研究給予該股“守持”評級，不過，看好該公司下半年前景亮眼，收入有望在可可售價上揚后增加。

分析師指出，近期，國際品牌百樂嘉利寶（Barry Callebaut）收購新加坡上市公司Petra Food可可業務，顯示源宗集團所處的亞洲市場深具潛質。

“併購完成后有助業內整合並多元化供應鏈，對源宗集團有利。”

分析師出，目前，該股與同業估值差距大，儘管這將限制股價下行，但若沒有強勁收入或突破性的企業發展，股價將難獲重估。[中国报财经]

分析師的意思应该是说，因为同業的估值大，所以它的股价下跌有限，不过，未来如果公司没有强大的企業發展，股价要上，也是很难的。。。

源宗首季淨利跌47％

大馬  2013-06-01 11:15
（吉隆坡31日訊）可可產品價格走低以及外匯盈余減少，使源宗集團（GCB,5102,主板消費品組）截至2013年3月31日為止，首季淨利下跌47.16%至1千653萬9千令吉。

派息1.50仙首季營業額為3億6千428萬3千令吉，增加2.80%。

該公司建議派發每股1.50仙股息。

該公司發文告指出，首季營業額有增無減主要是可可產品銷售量增長。不過，由於可可產品價格走低，使賺幅縮減，加上外匯盈余比前期少，為淨利大跌主因。

該公司表示，預料今年其餘季度業務表現將持續深具挑戰性，特別是可可豆價格走勢波動，不過樂觀看待其餘季度的業績表現。（星洲日報／財經）

首季业绩逊色　源宗净利续受压

財经 2013年6月3日
(吉隆坡3日讯)受到可可市场负面的衝击，源宗集团(GCB，5102，主板工业股)2013財政年第一季(截至3月31日止)的净利大幅减少，从去年同期的3130万令吉，降至1654万令吉，跌幅高达47.16%。但其第一季营业额仍稍微成长2.8%，至3亿6428万令吉。       

黄氏星展唯高达证券研究指出，该公司第一季的表现低于预测，接下来的净利將继续面对压缩。

第一季的净利不单按年跌47%，按季也跌33%；只占黄氏星展唯高达证券研究全年预测的13%。分析源指出，这主要是因为其產品，尤其是可可粉的销售价跌，导致营运赚幅从去年最后一季的9.1%进一步跌至7%，去年同期的赚幅为12.8%。

分析员预测，源宗集团的净利將继续受压，因为可可市场料持续波动。这样的局势也影响其他可可原料供应商，包括，Petra Food及JB Food。两者在今年第一季已开始面对亏损，前者的可可原料业务出现2900万美元的亏损，后者则蒙受140万美元的亏损。

这艰鉅的营运环境预料將持续，JBFood近期发出盈利预警，预计在可可粉销售价格持续低迷情况，公司在第2季將继续出现亏损。由于行业前景欠佳，分析员將2012至2015財政年的净利预测下修26-29%。並將该公司的评级下调至全面反映价值。隨著下调盈利预测的行动，分析员也將该公司的目標价从1.90令吉，调低至1.35令吉。

在疲弱的业绩出炉之后，该公司面对卖压，源宗集团的股价周一跌10仙或5.46%，至1.73令吉。成交量有98万2900股。

分析员也指出，该公司预料將持续落后大市，直到可可市场的前景明朗为止。[东方日报财经]

源宗重点专注2业务

財经 2013年6月26日
（新山26日讯）源宗集团（GCB，5102，主板工业股）未来几年將专注在可可原料直销及工业巧克力市场上，並希望有关项目可取得比2012年財政年纪录的6%成长更好的成绩。       

源宗集团是今日上午在新山珍珠酒店名召开第9届股东大会，发佈上述消息。该集团执行主席拿督莫哈末慕沙、董事经理郑贺联及该集团財务总监等都出席上述大会。

郑贺联预测，可可粉交易市场在今年底將回稳，届时將使该集团在该项领域中持续增长。

他也透露，未来几年將专注在可可原料直销及工业巧克力市场上，並希望有关项目可取得比2012年財政年纪录的6％成长更好的成绩。

他坦承，欧美经济走软使到可可原料供过於求，价格走低影响该集团收益。然而，亚洲市场对可可原料及成品的需求仍然走高，因此该集团会专注亚洲市场的开发，其中工业巧克力的生產是重点项目之一。

「欧洲市场分析显示，由于欧洲国家整体经济走软使到巧克力需求下跌，惟在亚太平洋地区市场则显得活络，2013年巧克力食品零售市场將在2013年上升5％。」

他指出，多个食品集团「移民」亚洲，使到巧克力產品生產增长，对于原料的需求也越来越高，这对该集团有正面影响。

「虽然2013年以欧洲可可原料市场供过於求导致公司盈利受挫，我们预测全球可可供需在年尾可恢復正常。」

首季净利减47％

虽然源宗集团现財政年首季净利比去年同期减少47％，但股东大会上却没有引起股东关注，相比之下股东更关心该集团未来几年的计划。

郑贺联表示，该集团如今已在柔佛丹绒柏勒巴斯港口免税区购制地段及设立厂房，专门生產工业巧克力，厂房设计在下个月正式投入运作，该项业务整体投资达5600万令吉。

此外，该集团昨日宣佈，以1955万令吉，购置巴西古当8块地皮作为仓库之用。

郑贺联指出，该集团体如今依然维持每年20万吨可可粉生產量，其中印尼峇淡岛的厂房年生產量达12万吨，巴西古当厂房生產量则达8万吨。

他透露，该集团没有计划再于柔南购入地皮，巴西古当厂房还可以再提高產量。峇淡岛厂房所使用的可可豆完全来自印尼，巴西古当则使用来自南非国家如尼日利亚、加纳等地可可豆。[东方日报财经]

源宗集团表现失色

二零一三年九月三日 晚上九时五十分
（吉隆坡3日讯）全球最大可可产品生产商源宗集团有限公司（GCB，5102，消费产品组）公布，在截至2013年6月30日止第2季度，所取得的净利润下降79％至740万令吉，而营业额则减少4.4％至2亿9910万令吉。

该集团在一份声明中说，业绩欠佳是由于全球需求疲软，导致可可粉价格下降，以及存货减值拨备1470万令吉所致。

然而，可可油需求和售价，及其他主要可可豆加工产品，持续在这个动荡时期挺稳。

该集团董事经理兼首席执行员郑贺联称，这导致集团出现较佳的销售综合，以及取得一些利润，不过大多数的可可加工业者录得亏损。

“展望今年余下的日子，我们预计可可研磨行业将会充满挑战，除了可可市场的整合出现不确定性外，消费情绪也较弱。”

郑氏表示：“与此同时，我们将会推行严格的成本控制措施，以及致力鉴定新的出口市场。”

据国际可可组织提供资料显示，新兴市场的零售需求继续坚挺，加上朱古力制造商囤积，因此为可可油价格上升提供支撑。

郑氏指出：“可可原料的长期前景依然光明，因为消费者会继续消耗朱古力和喝麦芽饮料。我们凭着过往经验，相信可可加工业能够在这个充满挑战的时期维持获利。”[光华日报财经]

可可需求高‧销售看涨 源宗看好巧克力营收贡献

财经新闻 财经  2014-01-10 11:30
（新山9日讯）全球可可需求走高，源宗集团（GCB，5102，主板消费产品股）有信心，工业巧克力业务将成为营业额的新驱动力。

源宗集团董事经理郑贺联，援引欧睿信息咨询公司近期公布的报告表示，市场对于巧克力的喜爱正逐渐攀升，未来两年的全球销售料各扬2%。

“工业巧克力业务将为营业额带来显著贡献，料对本财年作出全年贡献。”

郑贺联是在丹绒柏勒巴斯港口（PTP）新工业巧克力工厂的开幕礼结束后，接受记者访问。

他认为，新兴市场的增长潜能最大。

“中国市场的巧克力需求，估计每年可维持11%的增长率，直至2018年。这是因为中国富有人口增加，味觉要求也逐渐提高。”

新厂房巩固地位

同一时间内，巴西和印度的巧克力消费则料写下双位数增长。

2020年时，亚洲有望成为世界最大的巧克力消费区域。

源宗集团投入5500万令吉兴建新厂房，以迎合国际市场对工业巧克力正上涨的需求。

作为全球客户的全面可可材料供应商，新厂房将有助于源宗集团巩固地位。

尽管新厂产能可达5万公吨，惟该公司的首期计划是先将产量提高至1万公吨。[南洋网财经]
