The unprecedented rise in this stock has come to its tailed end . The rapid fall will see this stock at its base

Here’s a balanced, fact-based view of Scientex Berhad based on the latest analyst reports and earnings updates up to early-2026.

⸻

? Overall Take on Scientex (2026 outlook)

Current consensus:
➡️ Neutral to mildly positive
➡️ Not a strong “bull run” stock now, but not a collapsing one either

The company has two engines:
1. Property development (affordable housing) – strong and stable
2. Packaging manufacturing – currently weak and competitive

So the share price tends to move sideways with mild upside bias rather than trend strongly.

⸻

? POSITIVE FACTORS (Why it can go up)

1) Strong property pipeline & demand
• Affordable housing demand in Malaysia remains robust and supports earnings stability 
• Scientex has large landbank and project pipeline with GDV over RM50b 
• New launches planned through 2026 across Johor, Penang, Selangor etc. 

? This gives long-term recurring earnings visibility

⸻

2) Earnings still growing (but moderately)
• Analysts expect ~6% annual earnings growth 
• FY2026 expected to be stronger year after decent Q1 results 

? So it is a steady compounder, not a high-growth stock

⸻

3) Analysts’ target prices are above current trading range

Typical targets from research houses:
• RM3.60 (RHB neutral) 
• RM4.19–RM4.50 (consensus range) 
• Up to RM5.00–RM5.48 (bullish houses like TA / CIMB) 

? This implies moderate upside potential (not explosive)

⸻

⚠️ NEGATIVE FACTORS (Why it may go south)

1) Packaging division still weak
• Facing price competition from China + global demand softness 
• Margin pressure from cost inflation & currency volatility 

? This is the main drag on earnings

⸻

2) Earnings slightly declined in FY2025
• FY2025 profit fell ~2.7% YoY 
• Forecast cuts due to weak packaging performance 

? Shows growth is not strong

⸻

3) Not a high-growth sector stock
• Earnings growth only around 6% vs Malaysia market ~11% 

? Investors may prefer faster-growing counters

⸻

? Is the stock stabilised now?

? Yes — mostly stabilised, trading sideways

Reason:
• Supported by property earnings
• But capped by packaging weakness

So currently:
➡️ Floor supported
➡️ Upside limited unless packaging recovers

⸻

? Price Scenario (Based on consensus + fundamentals)

? Bullish scenario

If:
• Property launches strong
• Packaging recovers in 2026–2027

? Potential price range:
RM4.50 – RM5.50

⸻

? Base case (most likely)
• Property stable
• Packaging slow recovery

? Expected range:
RM3.60 – RM4.50

(consistent with most analysts)

⸻

? Bearish scenario

If:
• Property demand weakens
• Packaging margins worsen

? Downside risk:
RM3.00 – RM3.30 region

(close to prior trading support levels)

⸻

? My Conclusion (Simple view)

✔ Scientex is a defensive, steady compounder
✔ Not likely to crash badly
❗ But also not a high-flying stock

? So the stock is best suited for:
• Dividend + moderate growth investors
• Long-term hold (3–5 years)

? Not ideal for:
• Short-term trading
• Fast capital gains

⸻

? Final Answer to Your Questions

Is it stabilised?
➡️ Yes, currently sideways stable

Going south?
➡️ Unlikely major drop unless economic/property downturn

Upside potential?
➡️ Around RM4.50–RM5.50 if conditions improve

Downside risk?
➡️ Around RM3.00–RM3.30 worst case
