PETALING JAYA: 7-Eleven Malaysia Holdings Bhd’s long-term prospects remain rosy, supported by its expansion drive and synergy realisations with Caring Pharmacy and Berjaya Corp Bhd (BCorp)-related companies, said CGS-CIMB. The research house said although 7-Eleven Malaysia’s near-term sales could be impacted by weaker footfall in light of the rise in Covid-19 cases and movement restrictions nationwide, it gathers that 7-Eleven Malaysia remains focused on improving its product mix and optimising its cost base. This was illustrated in FY20 when the convenience store segment’s profit after tax margin remained stable year-on-year (y-o-y) at 2.3% (FY19: 2.3%) despite segment revenue declining by 12.7% y-o-y.
