Valuation

Tienwah (closed at RM1.64 yesterday) is now trading at a PE of 8.6 times (based on annualized EPS of 19 sen, after adjusting for the gain from property disposal). Given the huge jump in the earning in the last result, Tienwah could surprise on the upside in term of earning for FY2011. If so, its PE multiple would drop further; thus making the stock even more attractive.

Technical Outlook

Tienwah seems to be tracing out a 3-fan uptrend line, with the third trend line still intact. A downside breakout of the third trend line at RM1.40 could be bearish for the stock. For noe, Tienwah is supported by uptrend line (S1-S1b) at RM1.65.
