Lets’ look at
Company Latest Quarter results
The company reported RM 270 million in quarterly revenue, up from RM 45 million in the previous quarters.This represents a 490% QoQ increase in revenue. The main reason behind the surge in revenue is mainly due to the acquisition of SilTerra Malaysia Sdn Bhd from Khazanah Negara, which is a semiconductor wafer foundry.
The increase in revenue from RM 15 million to RM 78 million, representing a 396% QoQ growth rate, is also due to the company’s recent acquisition due to the consolidation of Ping results (RM67.27 million) in the current quarter, as well as the impact of the recent improvement in oil price.If we remove the acquisition of Ping, the company’s revenue for its energy segments only posted a revenue of RM 11 million, which is actually declining.
Thus, most of the 490% QoQ growth in revenue from DNEX has come from inorganic growth, where the company increased its revenue through the acquisition of another company. However, one of the positives is that the company’s IT segment increased its revenue by 46% QoQ from RM 30 million to RM 40 million in the latest quarters.
The quarterly trend for DNEX were impressive as ever as you can see QtoQ jump so far.

DNEX, Looking a low PE now ? Is this really “cheap” ?
Source: SMARTRobie (Available from Google Playstore and Apple Playstore)
In term of fundamental standpoint, even the company is trading at a PE ratio of 8.27 which look cheap but if we took a deeper dive the company EPS is actually boosted due to its recent acquisition of the semiconductor company from Khazanah. The boost in EPS is only one time and unlikely to sustain. Thus, the company underlying business is actually trading at a much higher valuation.
