GPacket has broken its uptrend line

GPacket share price dropped by 28 sen to RM3.92 at 11.00 a.m. With this sharp fall, GPacket has broken its long-term uptrend line support at RM4.16/20 as well as its "horizontal" support of RM4.00. Without a quick recovery, this stock may slide further.

I had a quick glance at GPacket's result, which was announced on May 10. We can see that the latest quarterly result shows a decline in both topline & bottomline when compared to the immediately preceding quarter. For example, its net profit dropped 35% to RM10.0 million in QE 31/3/2007 cf to RM15.3 million in QE31/12/2006, while turnover dropped from 27% to RM31.4 million from RM43.1 million. This is the first contraction in turnover & profit since its listing.

The other thing is the new WIMAX venture. It is a very big investment in a very new technology for a relatively small company. If you follow the story of 3G investment worldwide as well as by our local players i.e. Maxis & TM, you will see that the market risk is very high. Obviously, some early investors are getting nervous about this stock & choose to take their profit.
