UWC - A Beneficiary of COVID-19

UWC Berhad looks to be one of the beneficiaries of COVID-19 with its stock price more than doubling since a low 3 months back. The company has come a long way from simply supplying wire cut machines and is now worth around RM2 billion on the back of the boom in the semiconductor supply chain. More recently UWC has been tapping into the increased demand in medical equipment and life sciences on the back of COVID-19. With that in mind, how far can UWC go and is it all smooth sailing going forward?
