Yup, this stock has fallen from grace. Hopeless!
Every quarter update, spews the same nonsense, next quarter will be better with new products etc.  When the quarter reporting comes, disappointment but repeats the mantra.    The C Suite should be held accountable for over promise and under delivered.

Happy to see that at least the company has been consistently conducting share buybacks despite the poor year-on-year performance over the last 24 months.

Venture Corp&rsquo s Q3 net profit falls 4.7% to S$60.6 million
 
Revenue is down 3.9% at S$689.7 million on softer customer demand
 
TECHNOLOGY company Venture Corporation : V03 +0.15% reported a 4.7 per cent quarter-on-quarter (qoq) fall in net profit to S$60.6 million for the third quarter of 2024, from S$63.5 million in the previous quarter.
 
Revenue was down 3.9 per cent qoq at S$689.7 million, from S$717.5 million in Q2. This was largely due to softer demand in the life sciences, lifestyle consumer, and test and measurement instrumentation technology domains, it added.
 
In a business update on Friday (Nov 8), the group said the lower revenue was partly offset by higher revenue in the networking and communications as well as semiconductor-related equipment technology domains. This was as its &ldquo growth initiatives delivered improved performance&rdquo .
 
While the decline in net profit is in line with the lower revenue, the group noted that it had a &ldquo robust&rdquo net profit margin of 8.8 per cent through its focus on operational efficiency.
 
Venture Corp did not provide year-on-year comparisons in its Q3 business update, but highlighted that its net cash position had increased by S$138 million from the level as at Dec 31, 2023, to S$1.19 billion for the first nine months of 2024.
 
This was on top of capital allocations for shareholder returns over the period, including dividend payments and share buybacks, it said.
 
It also noted that in spite of softer customer demand in Q3, revenue for the second half of 2024 is expected to be &ldquo relatively stable&rdquo compared to H1 2024.
 
Venture Corp said it sees &ldquo good opportunities on the horizon&rdquo , including new design wins and new product introductions for secular growth segments such as life sciences and artificial intelligence data centre-related businesses.
 
The company will also be onboarding new customers in selected technology domains, and it is currently developing new products with a key customer in the lifestyle consumer technology segment, it said.
As expected, later release date than last year, lousier results
Last year's 3Q business update was on 3 Nov, seems to be late this year
wow going $13 soon

Singapore' s recent manufacturing data has been positive. Venture could be a long-term beneficiary of the China +1 supply chain strategy, particularly at its sites in Malaysia. The Company has been buying back shares rather aggressively. Balance sheet is rock solid, we know dividends will remain stable as well. Sleeping giant to wake up soon? There could be some FX risk near term however with the weakening dollar vs SGD and other currencies and its subsequent impact on profitability. Page  136 of the Annual Report outlines a sensitivity analysis of a 5% change in various currencies. Hope for a good 3Q24 showing. #DYODD   
Venture seems like it is menopausing together with CDG...hopefully they start pushing mid month
Not sure what you are talking about. Which analysts? DBS has a buy recommendation with a $16.40 price target.

Venture Corp appoints Wong Chee Kheong as group CEO
In his new role, Wong will provide leadership to all business units within the group, as well as drive its strategy and direction
 
TECHNOLOGY company Venture Corporation has named Wong Chee Kheong, 62, as its group chief executive officer (CEO) effective Nov 1.
 
In his new role, Wong will provide leadership to all business units within the group, as well as drive its strategy and direction, said Venture on Tuesday (Oct 1).
 
Welcoming the appointment, Venture&rsquo s executive chairman Wong Ngit Liong is confident that Wong Chee Kheong&rsquo s &ldquo substantial technical knowledge, close relationship with key customers and alignment with Venture&rsquo s values&rdquo will drive the success of the group.

At the same time, Wong Chee Kheong took charge of the other business segment that was created following the restructuring.
 
The advanced manufacturing and design solutions group designs and manufactures electronic products for the healthcare, luxury lifestyle and wellness industries. It also makes semiconductor-related equipment and modules.

Reported in the news today that Singapores factory output surprised with a 21% jump in August electronics surged almost 50%. Signals are pointing to momentum of a stronger 2H24 vs 1H24 for Venture, as the company had guided. Just wondering where the buybacks went. 
Singapore' s PMI improves in August to post highest reading in three years. 12th straight month that it remained in expansionary territory. Company continues to buy back shares. 2H24 expected to be higher than 1H24. Institutional buyers continue to scoop. Hope share price performance starts to improve. 
They really like, just keeps buying. Good sign.
