MPI to maintain double-digit US$ sales growth

CGS-CIMB Research expects robust demand for power management chips for electric vehicles (EVs) and data centres to drive MPI's growth.

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysian Pacific Industries Bhd (MPI) is expected to maintain double-digit US$ sales growth in the financial year ending June 2022 (FY6/22F), driven by robust demand for power management chips for electric vehicles (EVs) and data centres, a research house says.

CGS-CIMB Equities Research said MPI’s nine-month period ended March 31,2021 (9MFY6/21) core net profit beat expectations, at 84%/80% of its/Bloomberg consensus’ forecasts, due to stronger-than-expected sales in 3QFY21.
