Financial Performance
During the 2019-2024 period, MWG revenue recorded a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.1% per annum (p.a), a much slower growth rate compared to the previous period, mainly due to the impact of Covid-19 pandemic and the weakened consumer demand.
Key Investment Rationales
- TGDD and DMX could grow at a reasonable 1.5% in revenue, yet BHX would accelerate and achieve an impressive top line growth of 18.8% over the next 3 years
- Net profit would improve well in the coming years from the improvement of BHX and MWG’s strong bargaining power to secure favorable gross margins in each business line.
- The store counts of BHX would increase strongly ahead as the platform is now ready to expand after several years of fine tuning.
