Valuation

SEG (closed at RM1.46 yesterday) is now trading at a PE of 36 times (based on last 4 quarters' EPS of 4.11 sen). At this PE multiple, SEG is deemed over valued.

SEG paid out dividend totaling 11 sen for FY2014. For FY2015, the interim dividend of 7 sen is higher than FY2014 interim of 5 sen. Assuming the final dividend is similar to the interim dividend, FY2015 dividend will amount to 14 sen. Thus, SEG's DY is very attractive at 10%.

Technical Outlook

SEG broke above its intermediate downtrend line, RR at RM1.45-1.46 in April. The upside is capped by the horizontal line at RM1.48. See Chart 2.

If SEG can surpass the resistance at RM1.48 (preferably, the psychological RM1.50 too), the stock may revisit its high at RM2.00.

Conclusion

Based the improved financial performance & mildly positive technical outlook, SEG could be a good stock for a trading BUY. Its high DY would certainly make it an income stock.
