For QE31/13/2015, MPI's net profit jumped 25% q-o-q or 188% y-o-y to RM30million. PBT increased q-o-q due to higher revenue from the smartphone sector, strengthening of USD via-a-vis the MYR and lower material costs. Revenue increased q-o-q from RM338.3 million to RM351.3 million while revenue mix shifted by 3 ppt from Asia to USA & Europe by 1 ppt & 2 ppt, respectively.

From the daily chart (Chart 3), MPI has broken its steep uptrend line, SS at RM7.00 last Thursday. While it managed to rebound from the horizontal line at RM6.50, it is unlikely that the stock can climb back above the uptrend line. The best that we can hope for is a consolidation around the price level of RM6.00-7.00.
