More importantly, you should note that Innity has an earning breakout last quarter. I define earning breakout as a quarterly earning that surpasses previous quarterly earning. In the past, I have noted stocks with earning breakouts and they had generally continued to report rising earning going forward. Consequently, these stocks enjoyed higher share prices. Innity may join this list of outperforming stocks.

Valuation

Innity (closed at RM0.67 yesterday) is now trading at a PER of 18.3x (based on last 4 quarters' adjusted EPS of 3.66 sen). Based on CAGR of 70% over the past 3 years, PEG ratio is still comfortably well below 1x. As such, Innity is very attractive for a growth stock. However, Innity has a serious problem with liquidity; it can be not traded on a quiet day!!

Technical Outlook

Innity seems to be in an upward channel, with support at RM0.35 & resistance at RM0.75.
