Result Update
For QE30/4/2013, SCGM's net profit increased 33% q-o-q or 29% y-o-y to RM1.8 million while revenue dropped 13% q-o-q but rose 3% y-o-y to RM23 million. Bottom-line increased q-o-q due to higher margin which resulted from product sale price increase coupled with the consistent production efficiency & stable input cost, such as labor cost and raw materials cost (which was brought about by decline in commodities prices).

Valuation
SCGM (closed at RM1.10 last Friday) is now trading at a PE of 11.5 times (based on last 4 quarters' EPS of 9.6 sen). For a small-cap stock, SCGM is deemed full valued.
Technical Outlook
SCGM broke above its intermediate downtrend line at RM0.70 in early June and shot up to close at RM1.10 last Friday. The sharp rise will only be sustainable if there is some exciting development ahead. Even if that were the case, the sharply higher prices may have factored in all the good news into the share price.

Conclusion
Despite good financial performance, SCGM's recent sharp rise in share price has now put the stock at a demanding valuation. As such, I would revise my rating to TRADING SELL.

Dear Alex,
Can you give me your considered opinion on whether V S Industry Berhad (ticker: "VS"; stock code 6963) is now a good buy? Appreciate your input on this.
Hi Alex,
Finally YEELEE broke 1.26 in style.
Hope to see further upside and your target price of 1.70.

hi charles leong

hi dukuhead
If you are a contrarian, you should keep a close watch on VS. The poor result has brought the share price to the present low level. Its losses seems to stabilizing albeit recovery has yet to begin.
Technically speaking, the stock is mildly bearish. It has broken below its long-term uptrend line at RM1.30. it is also broken below its recent low of RM1.27 [recorded in early May]. The danger is that it may start to slide off quickly to the next support at RM1.05-1.10. If that level is also violated, its subsequent support would be RM0.95-1.00.
I would prefer to wait for a rebound in the earning before committing.
Thanks very much for your analysis of VS Industry Berhad, Alex, much obliged.
