WTHorse has just announced its results for QE31/3/2010. The first calender quarter is usually a quiet period due to the slow construction activities during the long lunar new year break. This is reflected in the q-o-q decline in turnover & net profit by 15% & 44%, respectively. However, its net profit increased by 40% y-o-y on the back of a 14%-increase in turnover.

Valuation
WTHorse (closed at RM1.54 yesterday) is trading at a PER of 5.5 times (based on last 4 quarters' EPS of 28 sen). At this multiple, WTHorse is deemed inexpensive. If we were to value it at a PER of 8 times, its fair value could be about RM2.24.
Technical Outlook
WTHorse broke above its long-term downtrend line at RM1.05 in January 2009. The 20-week SMA line (presently at RM1.46) is a good proxy for a medium-term uptrend line for the stock. Immediate resistance is at RM1.70 & then RM1.88-90.

Hi Phkoay,
See my earlier post. I call a SELL INTO STRENGTH if/when the stock approaches the RM7.00 level. The all-time high is at RM7.30.
At the time of the post, the stock was trading at RM6.40. If you were gung-ho enough, you could have gone in then & made a bit. To get in now, you need more than MOJO. You gotta to be a bit reckless, like George W Bush!!!
