CEKD Bhd

Industrial Machinery & EquipmentVerified

CEKD Bhd maintains a strong liquidity position with a current ratio of 8.16, indicating the company can easily cover its short-term liabilities with its current assets. The company's liquidity_fpt score of 0.84 suggests a robust ability to meet short-term obligations, supported by a free cash flow of MYR 5.63 million and operating cash flow of MYR 6.40 million. Profitability metrics show CEKD Bhd is performing well relative to industry standards. The company's return on equity (ROE) of 8.54% and return on assets (ROA) of 7.57% are both above the industry median for Industrial Machinery & Equipment, indicating efficient use of equity and assets to generate profit. The company's revenue is split between its Manufacturing and Trading segments, with no disclosed revenue concentration in any single geographic region or customer. This diversification reduces exposure to regional or customer-specific risks, although the company operates primarily in Malaysia with factories in Kuala Lumpur, Penang, and Johor. Looking ahead, CEKD Bhd is projected to see a 12.3% increase in revenue in the current fiscal year and a 9.1% increase in the following year. This growth is supported by a strong operating cash flow and a capital expenditure of MYR -1.22 million, indicating a focus on maintaining and optimizing existing operations rather than aggressive expansion. Risk factors for CEKD Bhd include a medium liquidity risk due to a negative net cash position after subtracting total debt. The company has a low dilution risk, with no near-term pressure for share issuance. However, the company's ESG governance score of 52.7 and social score of 36.3 suggest areas for improvement in corporate governance and social responsibility. Recent events include the company's continued focus on its core manufacturing and trading segments, with no significant new product launches or major strategic shifts disclosed in the latest filings. The company's ESG controversies score of 100.0 indicates no recent controversies, but ongoing monitoring of governance and social practices is recommended.
