3A: The Start of the Upleg?

Technical Outlook

3A broke to the upside of its flag formation at RM1.04 & closed the morning session at RM1.11 (see Chart 1). This breakout could herald the start of an upleg for this stock which has declined from a high of RM2.30 in early 2010 and further consolidated for 18 months at RM0.85-1.05. Its next resistance levels are RM1.10-1.15, RM1.40 & RM1.60. For more, see Chart 2.

Financial Results & Valuation

At this moment, it is hard to envision 3A going beyond RM1.40 as its financial performance is really nothing to shout about. With last 4 quarters' EPS of 4.6 sen, 3A is now trading at an elevated PE of 24 times.

Conclusion

Based on technical consideration, 3A could be a good trading BUY. However, you need to exercise careful discretion in the current market.
