May I know your outlook on "Oka". A small, forgotten small cap company.

Hi InvestinKL

OKA has a slow & steady growth track record. Its net profit grew to RM5.7 mil for FYE31/3/2013 from RM4.9 mil previously. At RM0.72, it is now trading at a PE of 7 times. It has an attractive dividend yield of 5%.

Chartwise , it broke above the strong horizontal line at RM0.60-0.61. It is in an uptrend line with support at RM0.70.

I would rate it a HOLD.
