Background
Redtone International Bhd ('Redtone') is slowly recovering from its loss-making streak over the past 3-4 years. The turnover was achieved by disposal of its loss-making businesses and repositioning itself in the data & broadband space. For more, check out this article in The Edge newsletter.

Financial Position
As at 28/2/2013, redtone's financial position is deemed healthy with current ratio at 1.2 times while gearing ratio is negligible, with bank borrowing of RM2 million as compared to Shareholders' Funds of RM97 million. Cash & bank deposits amount to RM34 million.
Valuation
Redtone (closed at RM0.415 yesterday) is now trading at a trailing PE of 19 times (based on last 4 quarters' EPS of 2.18 sen. I expect Redtone's current earning to improve to 3.5-4.0 sen; thus bringing down PE to 11-12 times.
Technical Outlook
Redtone is in an intermediate uptrend line, S1-S1. It is poised to test its recent high of RM0.45 while its immediate support is the horizontal line RM0.42 (see Chart 2). An upside breakout above RM0.45 could send the stock to RM0.82. (see Chart 3).

Hi Alex
ReplyDeleteAny comment on GenHK that going up this few days? thanks.
Hi Dav C
ReplyDeleteGenHK has surpassed its recent high of S$0.46. It may even have broken above its long-term downtrend line at S$0.45. I used the word 'may' because I am not sure the chart (from Yahoo Finance) has been adjusted for Bonus & Right Issues.
Based on the above, GenHK could be a good trading BUY.
Hi Alex,
ReplyDeleteWould appreciate your view on Farlim and MYEG please. I noticed a volume increase for FARLIM recently. Thanks.

Hi Ray Khor
ReplyDeleteMy take on the two stocks:
1. Farlim may have broken above its long-term downtrend line at RM0.30. This happens to be a strong horizontal resistance-turned-support. It is safe to buy some at RM0.30 and see whether this stock can continue to rise.
2. MYEG broke above its strong horizontal resistance at RM0.85 2-3 weeks ago and revisited the 2011 high of RM0.90. It failed to surpass the 2011 high & it has since dropped below the horizontal line at RM0.85. It should find support at the intermediate uptrend line at RM0.79-0.80. At that level, you may consider buying into the stock.
