SEG maintained its good performance

Results Update

When compared to the immediate preceding quarter (QE30/6/2011), the bottom-line & top-line were relatively unchanged (which is expected as the college is well into its term).

Conclusion

While SEG could be a good stock for long-term investment, its upside potential is limited for the medium-term due to its valuation. However, the technical outlook has turned positive and this means that the stock could see a small rally to retest its high at RM2.10.
