Valuation

Chinwel (closed at RM1.81 last Friday) is now trading at a PE of 9X (based on last 4 quarters' EPS of 20.13 sen). Based on this PER, Chinwel is deemed fairly valued.

Technical Outlook

Chinwel broke above its strong horizontal resistance at RM1.73 in early November 2015. As noted earlier, the stock has broken above its 15-year triangle formation at the same time. Let's wait & see whether this bullish breakout may lead to a sustained rally.

  2. Hi wong,

    Nishin is supported by a long term uptrend "line" at RM0.25. However its upside move is blocked by an intermediate downtrend line at RM0.36. Unless it can break above the RM0.36 mark, it is likely to pullback to RM0.25.

    Its financial performance is erratic. It did well in QE30/9/2015 but the momentum fizzled out in QE31/12/2015. Thus I believe its price movement will weaken going forward.
