Valuation

SCGM (closed at RM3.07 yesterday) is now trading at a PE of 17X (based on last 4 quarters' EPS of 17.85 sen). With earning CAGR of 40% (for the past 2 years), SCGM's PEG ratio is at a decent 0.4X. As a growth stock, SCGM is deemed fairly attractive.

Technical Outlook

SCGM is in a uptrend line support at RM2.50. There are signs of weakness in the weekly chart: MACD has crossed below the MACD signal line and the -DMI has crossed above the +DMI at the same time the ADX is trending lower. These indicate that the share price is likely to pullback to the uptrend line. This may reflect concern for the stock due to the strengthening of the MYR.
