Venture posts 8.3% fall in Q3 earnings amid softness in consumer tech
The company is &lsquo ramping up activities for hyperscale data centres&rsquo , including network connectivity solutions
[SINGAPORE] Technology player   Venture Corp   : V03 0% on Thursday (Nov 13) posted a net profit of S$55.6 million for the third quarter ended Sep 30.
 
While Venture did not disclose a year-on-year comparison, the figure translates to an 8.3 per cent fall from the S$60.6 million net profit stated in a business update for the year-ago period.
 
The result &ldquo reflects expected softness in the lifestyle consumer technology domain&rdquo , Venture said in a business update. 
 
Revenue for Q3 came in at $627.2 million, down 9.1 per cent from a year earlier and 2.8 per cent lower than its Q2 revenue. On a constant currency basis, revenue would have dipped 0.6 per cent quarter on quarter.
 
The group noted that its net profit margin remains &ldquo strong&rdquo , at 8.9 per cent, through its focus on high value-add solutions.
 
Venture segmented its Q3 FY2025 revenue into &ldquo portfolio A&rdquo and &ldquo portfolio B&rdquo , which accounted for S$222 million and S$405 million in revenue, respectively. 
 
Portfolio A, which includes the group&rsquo s business in the consumer lifestyle and life science technology domains, booked a 10.5 per cent quarter-on-quarter decline in revenue. 
 
Venture attributed this to its research and development, which &ldquo improved the reliability and longevity of a lifestyle consumer client&rsquo s key product&rdquo . This lowered product replacements and volumes. 
 
Meanwhile, revenue from portfolio B, which includes among others the group&rsquo s business in instrumentation, test and measurement technology, rose 2 per cent quarter on quarter. 
 
Venture said this was thanks to new wins from customers in the test and measurement instrumentation and semiconductor-related equipment domains. 
 
&ldquo Our strategic initiatives in the other technology domains have delivered results,&rdquo it said.
 
The group added that it is in a net cash position &ldquo in excess of S$1 billion&rdquo as at Sep 30. This is after the payment of its first-half interim and special dividends on Sep 12, as well as share buybacks during the year.
 
Its working capital position as at Sep 30 was &ldquo improved by S$94.8 million&rdquo from Dec 31, 2024. This was attributed to &ldquo proactive management in optimising trade receivables and payables&rdquo . 
 
Looking ahead, Venture is &ldquo ramping up activities for hyperscale data centres&rdquo , including network connectivity solutions. In the life sciences segment, it is working on the design and manufacture of advanced instruments.
 
It is also focused on securing new wins and increasing its market share for complex test and measurement instrumentation devices, as well as landing new business in building automation and security.
 
The group is further strengthening partnerships with key customers for &ldquo steady progress&rdquo in semiconductor-related equipment.
 
&ldquo Venture&rsquo s efforts in driving such opportunities and growing partnerships will lay the foundation for sustainable growth,&rdquo it said. 
I have not been in this thread for a long time. Looks like you are no longer grouchy about venture ... Hahaha. The optimism is nice. Let's go, 17!

It' s a good company but share price has been a laggard so far. Should be a beneficiary of stock market rotation as some of the other stocks get a bit toppy.
Momentum continues, closing at $14.03. Up 15% since 14 July (excluding returns from the recent interim and special dividend).

Was the price soar due to Wong NL departing Venture?

Definitely " brewing" today with 3x the 30-day average trading volume transacted before lunch and share price up 4.11%.

If you were to look up what the definition of a " laggard" was, you will read that it is a stock that has underperformed compared to its peers or a relevant benchmark. Next to this definition you will see Venture' s share price performance highlighted as an example. 
CDL surged and soared because Philip Yeo left...wonder would Venture also be similar if Wong left?...
