Valuation
HEIM (closed at RM16.92 yesterday) is now trading at a trailing PER of 19.2 times (based on last 4 quarters' EPS of 87.94 sen). Its dividend yield is fairly reasonable at 5.0%. Based on last year's earnings growth of about 24%, PEG ratio can be computed to be 0.8 x. All these multiples show that HEIM is still fairly attractive.
Technical Outlook
HEIM has broken above its triangle at RM14.50-15.00. The first projected target is RM17.00-17.50.

If foreign funds are hungry enough to pay for decent yield, HEIM may retest its 2013 high of RM22.00.
