Valuation

DLady (closed at RM44.30 at the end of the morning session) is now trading at a PE of 24 times (based on last 4 quarters' EPS of 184 sen). While the PE is high, the PEG (PE to Growth) ratio is about 0.8 time, which means the stock is still reasonably attractive. The only concern is that the company's growth may not be able to sustain at 30%.

Technical Outlook

DLady corrected back to its 100-day  EMA line or its 20-week SMA line. If this support is not violated, DLady would recover from this support.
