Results Update

In QE30/4/2017, SCGM's net profit was mixed- dropped 27% q-o-q but rose 47% y-o-y to RM5.1 million while revenue rose 15% q-o-q or 63% y-o-y to RM53 million. Revenue increased q-o-q due to higher demand from both local and export markets. PBT dropped q-o-q mainly due to increase in operating expenses which was attributed to higher cost of raw materials.

Valuation

SCGM (closed at RM4.09 yesterday) is now trading at a PE of 24X (based on last 4 quarters' EPS of 17.17  sen). With earning stagnating, the high PER is not justifiable.

Technical Outlook

SCGM is in a long-term uptrend line, SS with support at RM3.60-3.70. MACD has hooked down- indicating the possibility of a near term pullback. This is also borne out by directional movement index, with +DMI is dipping while -DMI is rising.

Conclusion

Despite satisfactory financial performance & still positive technical outlook, I am revising my previous rating from a Trading BUY to a SELL INTO STRENGTH due to demanding valuation.
