Spackman to be the sleeper hit of financial reporting seasons ahead

SINGAPORE (May 16): RHB is maintaining its “buy” call on Spackman Entertainment Group with a target price of 27 cents, while noting that the stock is currently trading at a much lower valuation versus local peers and has a positive outlook.

To recap, the group on Monday announced 1Q earnings of $7.6 million, reversing from its net loss position in the same quarter a year ago after recognising earnings from its blockbuster movie, Master, as well as a US$3 million gain from the disposal of its Spackman Media Group (SMG) shares in relation to its latest acquisition.
