00:00 Happy Friday! Today we tee off with brand new market entrant, MST Golf Group.
00:05 While its debut yesterday was a touch lukewarm, Rakuten thinks it's on the right path to
00:10 a better swing and has a buy call and 99 cent target price.
00:14 So MST Golf Group is Malaysia's leading golf equipment retailer and service provider.
00:19 It is riding on the growth of the golfing industry, hence it registered a revenue kega
00:23 of 41.8% for FY19 to FY22.
00:27 In fact, Rakuten forecasts MST to achieve a net profit kega of 19% from FY22 to FY25.
00:35 MST intends to utilise 62.8 million of the IPO proceeds to upgrade and refurbish existing
00:41 golf retail outlets and open 13 new outlets in Malaysia and two new outlets in Singapore
00:46 by 2025.
00:48 As one of the first golf games in town, MST has attained a market share of 51% with more
00:53 than 90,000 active members which are recurring customers and have contributed 75.7% to its
00:59 FY22 revenue.
01:02 In 2022, MST opened its first 3-in-3 retail concept named MST Golf Arena which delivers
01:08 a unique golf retail experience combining shopping, playing, learning, fitting, practising
01:13 and dining.
01:14 It also plans to penetrate Indonesia, Thailand and Vietnam with the target of opening 16
01:20 retail outlets and retail outlets with indoor golf centres by 2026.
01:24 Given that it is just listed, all analysts' consensus are in yet going by Bloomberg.
01:28 So based on Rakuten's recommendation of 99 cent, this implies a possible upside of 27%
01:34 from its current soft opening day performance.
01:36 Thanks for watching.
