Just heard from dealer not sure how reliable, higher power engine most likely available at cx80 only. Cx60 is 2.5 na and maybe 2.5 phev at later. This make sense because 3.3 inline six road tax is super expensive. Since cx60 is CBU maybe higher power engine can be import for customer who don't mind paying more on road tax and higher price.

Penny stock liao. Haizzz. Seems like in many countries Mazda has started revising pricing to existing models by lowering the price and giving more features and accessories to their cars. Hope Mazda malaysia will follow soon in cx5, cx 8 and others besides mazda 3

Mazda has been lowering the price between 10k to 30k for their cars in other countries. If here highest cx5 2.5t can lower to 160k then is really a good buy. Even current models has shown some ageing but aesthically still look good compared to a more generic design of chinese brand. With the right pricing consumers willing to tolerate on aged design even I may consider taking a unit cx5 2.5 if pricing is right

after seeing more details on the cx60 2.5NA for sale, feel a bit eager to buy one unit because the specs and the price actually quite competitive against Honda CRV ehev and Omoda C9. With 200kotr for cx60, Omoda C9 definitely out off consideration due to the strange interior and exterior looks of C9

Should be Harith because the delivery only in Sept. I believe this 2.5NA cx60 should sell quite well because is should drive like Honda crv ehev given the numbers almost similar. Many ppl in opinion should bring in the 3.3 and 3.3D engine but if Bermaz really bring in maybe It won't sell too well like the cx5 majority still go for 2.0 NA because is more economical to maintain. Maybe for hard-core mazda fans prefer 3.3 engine. Also 3.3 engine is a triple whammy for car owner given the higher road tax, insurance and fuel cost. In my opinion the next best option will be the 2.5 pHev variant. Hope Bermaz will bring in next.

Yup Cheng. Share price should be remain low. Just hope profit can go up and dividend as well. Next see whether Bermaz will bring in ez6 and ez6e. If yes believe these 2 models should sell well too. Especially the ez6e that is a range extender ev SUV

That's right, Choong. The key point is Mazda car's roadmap - new model cycle (every 4 to 5 years) and facelift cycle (every 2 to 3 years) for the segment that BAuto is selling. As long as the roadmap is clear and executed according to plan, BAuto will do well given higher margins for Mazda cars compared to other brands that it is distributing. That's just my opinions and could be wrong.

Let this time be a valuable lesson for Bermaz. Overly optimistic and underestimate competitors. Over optimistic is on their own judgements assuming market will accept the pricier Kia Sportage and depends only on overdue cx5 as a volume contributors and profit generator. Underestimate is on chinese brands market acceptance and pricing driven car buyers. Anyhow believe Bermaz will able to recovered given their size in the market is not big and mazda cars is known for it built quality and reliability

That's right, Elton Chan :) just need to keep monitoring the Mazda models availability. It's cyclical as long as there is visibility of new models and facelift model within the cycle. Any delay which is out of the life cycle by Mazda will hit BAuto's top line and bottom line.

looking at today trend it seems like more and more ppl are cutting lost in Bermaz. maybe one of them is EPF itself. See whether got any shareholding changes announcement coming out. we as a minority shareholders just brace and prepare for the worst

2nd half of next year which will be FY27, Choong. Importantly is the availability of new Mazda models every 4 to 5 years and facelift models every 3 year. FY26 should continue to see 20M range qr and hopefully beginning to see uptick towards end of FY26.

Very cheap, but at this market conditions totally different from MCO covid time. Last time MCO ppl cut all spending so madza not selling well. Ppl to showroom compare CX5, CX60, CRV, J7，omoda C9 at the end 80% choose China car... Bermaz can u turn uptrend like before 2020-2024??

yes and no, alpha :) yes if you look at the total payout for FY25 (16.75 cents) and divided by the current market price. No if you look ahead as current profit trending is 20M range and it will probably stay around this range until the new models kicks in. Assuming it is min 22M per quarter estimate and that comes up to 88M profit per year. Dividend policy of 60% means 52.8M will be distributed to the shareholders. Divided by nosh that gives you a min 4.5 cents div per year estimate. At 0.85, we are talking about 5.3% dy which is pretty decent given the incoming low interest rates environment; better than FD and matching returns from bonds/funds excluding capital gains if you will. The latest numbers in the qr showing it is still net cash position of slightly more than 200M which means no concern with dividend payment in the future. just my personal opinions, could be wrong. hope it helps.

This financial report bosses dare not commit which models will be selling well. Last year bodly mentioned 5k units of kia sportage for FY24/25. If Bermaz really want to compete with chinese brands sub 200k and c segments suv is the battle ground. Just wondering why mazda keep upgrading the specs in cx5 models in the rest of the countries but Bermaz here still no reaction? Especially in US, UK, Australia, Taiwan and even Japan itself all cx5 had been give specs upgrade and price reduction but not malaysia. Really wondering?

Unlikely V-shape, Harith. BAuto missed the EV trends timeline, removed from MSCI small cap index, and lack of new models at the back of influx of China cars. It should be L-shape given it's clean balance sheet with net cash slightly over 200M and starting to see new models launching for sale / in the pipeline. Takes time for sales to pick up.

I do agreed with you Michael but Bermaz core brand is Mazda and japanese brand has long established in the automotive industry so is still important for Mazda or Bermaz malaysia to reinvent themselves to stay competitive. Not sure how chinese brand able to make profits but that is the question other auto maker has to figure it out.
