Inari’s sizeable net cash buffer augurs well for firm

HLIB Research has cut its financial year 2025 (FY25) to FY26 earnings forecasts for Inari by 21% and 8%, respectively.

PETALING JAYA: The biggest earnings risk for suppliers like Inari Amertron Bhd largely comes from the negative impact of potential higher retail prices for smartphones in the United States and softer consumer spending globally given the economic slowdown.

Meaningful forward guidance during the upcoming first quarter 2025 (1Q25) earnings season is likely to be scarce, as visibility hinges on developments in the tariff front, especially between the United States and China, said Hong Leong Investment Bank Research (HLIB Research).
