Valuation
SEG (closed at RM1.94 today) is now trading at a PE of 13.3 times (based on last 4 quarters' EPS of 14.56 sen). For a company with a CAGR of 25% over the past 3 years (based on turnover), its PEG ratio is about 0.53 time. At that PEG ratio, SEG is deemed fairly attractive.
Technical Outlook
SEG has been consolidating in an oval shape pattern for the past 18-20 months. A breakout to the upside (or downside) would point the way forward for the stock. Its MACD & RSI have attempted to break to the upside recently. Are they signaling the possible breakout to come?

Conclusion
Based on good financial performance, stable industrial outlook and attractive valuation, SEG is a good stock for long-term investment. It could be a trading BUY if it could break to the upside of the oval shape consolidation pattern (at RM2.00).
