DXN- top-line & bottom-line inched up

Background

Recently, I have posted on DXN's technical breakout & the test of its recent high (here). We do not know the true reason why a stock put in a breakout. Since the breakout happened prior to the results, we should study it and determine whether the results announcement triggered the breakout.

Results Update

DXN announced its results for QE31/5/2011 at the close of business on July 25. Its net profit increased by 34% q-o-q but declined by 10% y-o-y to RM9 million while its turnover was hardly changed at RM68 million. Looking at the results, I doubt the breakout was prompted by improved financial performance.

Comment & Conclusion

Based on its fair valuation (with PE of 7.8 times) and technical breakout still intact, I would rate DXN a HOLD. Good entry for a trade is at RM1.30.
