Hi Alex, how about Thong Guan?
Thank you
Think there's a share split recently. The last 4 qtr eps should be halved.
Hi invertebrate
Thank you for the heads up on the recent share split. The data has been amended accordingly.
Hi InvestSmart
I will look at Thong Guan later. The quarterly results are piling up.
Hi InvestSmart
Thong Guan's latest result (QE31/3/2016) was weaker than the immediate preceding quarter (QE31/12/2015). NP dropped 16% q-o-q to RM13 million on the back of a 8%-decline in revenue to RM180 million. However, NP grew 182% y-o-y on the back of a 12%-increase in revenue. TGuan suffered for 3 quarters (QE30/9/2014 to QE31/3/2015) due to a variety of reasons such as weaker demand, lower volume rebates, forex losses & provision for doubtful debts.
As the share price had rallied quite significantly to a high of RM3.50 in September-December 2015, the weaker performance in the latest quarter could be an excuse for some profit-taking. Thus TGuan could be a trading SELL at RM3.30-3.40 but a slow BUY at RM2.90-3.00.
Good luck.
