GDEX: An expensive stock had a fall!

Technical Outlook

In April, I posted about the bullish breakout for GDEX (go here). Shortly GDEX announced that its Executive Director, Wong Eng Su had resigned from the company. From then on, the stock began its steady decline from a high of RM1.84 to the current price of just under RM1.30. GDEX has a rebound in the morning session after coming close to the horizontal line at RM1.20.

Valuation

GDEX (closed at RM1.27 at the end of the morning session) commands a PE of 59 times (based on last 4 quarters' EPS of 2.15 sen). At this PE, GDEX is very expensive.

Conclusion

Despite the good financial performance, GDEX is hard to recommend as an investment as it is an expensive stock. It may find a support at RM1.20 and trades sideways for now.. Any strong rebound to the RM1.50 mark should be used as an opportunity to exit the stock for those who are holding it.
