BAT broke above its recent high of RM67-68 today. At the time of writing this post, it was trading at RM70.22. This bullish breakout (albeit on thin volume) signals the continuation of its prior uptrend.

BAT's recent financial performance is shown in the table and chart below.

Chart 2: BAT's last 29 quarter's result
BAT (at RM70.22 now) is trading at a trailing PE of 24 times. At this PE, its upside potential is limited.
Why is the share price rallying today? I believe it has to be something big, like a takeover or privatization exercise. We will have to wait & see.
Based on technical breakout, BAT could be a trading BUY.

Alex , what do u think of plenitude?
It's fundamental and technical perspective .
Thanks
Hi OS,
Plenitu has an undemanding PE of 7.5x (based on closing price of RM2.76 & annualized earning of 37 sen/share).
Chartwise, it is in an uptrend after breaking above the horizontal line at RM2.50. Its potentoal target is RM3.20-3.30.
Hi bro Alex. Please comment on ECOFIRS (3557). I heard ECOFIRS will hit 50sen. Can i buy at current level ?
Thx
Hi wong,
Ecofirs is a speculative/turnaround stock. After losing money for many years, it is profitable in FY11-13. Notwithstanding the short profitable streak, Ecofirs's financial position is fairly weak. So, I won't put too much emphasis on the stock's fundamentals.
Chartwise, it is quite interesting as it has broken above a cup-with-handle formation at RM0.31. On that count, the stock may surprise on the upside.
So, the answer to your question is yes. This is a tradable stock but you shall exercise careful discretion in any trade, especially a stock with many unknowns, like Ecofirs.
Good luck!!
