Daiboci (closed at RM2.62 on Friday) is trading at a PE of 12 times (based on last 4 quarters' EPS of 21.65 sen). Daiboci's dividend yield is quite attractive at 4.8%. At these multiples, Daiboci is deemed fairly valued.

Daiboci surpassed its February 2010 high of RM2.28 in early October. The current upleg could possibly send the stock to a high of RM3.00.
