Valuation
Mamee (closed at RM2.78 yesterday) is now trading at a PER of 9.3 times (based on the last 4 quarters' EPS of 30 sen. At this multiple, Mamee is considered quite attractive.
Technical Outlook
Mamee has been in an uptrend since November 2009. Its uptrend line accelerated twice, from SS to S1-S1 and then S2-S2. In the past 2 weeks of market selloff, Mamee broke below its accelerated uptrend line, S2-S2. It may consolidate further & may test the 20-week SMA line at RM2.76 or the next accelerated uptrend line, S1-S1 support at RM2.70.

Conclusion
Based on good financial performance & attractive valuation, Mamee could be a good stock for long-term investment. However, after a strong rally- punctuated by a breakdown of its immediate accelerated uptrend line- and the current uncertainty in the overall market, one should be more circumspect about buying into Mamee in a substantial manner for now.
