Supermx in a super rally

Supermx in a super rally: "Supermx recently announced its results for QE30/9/2009. Its net profit increased by 56% q-o-q or 155% y-o-y to RM40 million. Its turnover increased by 26% q-o-q to RM238 million but was 2.7% lower than the previous corresponding quarter, QE30/9/2008.

From the chart of the last 12 quarterly results, we can see the improvement in Supermx's performance for the past 3 quarters. This sharp recovery in its bottom-line should lead to further re-rating of this stock.

In August, I have posted on Supermx's long-term expanding triangle pattern which might capped the rise in the share rise (go here). However the strong rally in the past 3 weeks has blown away the resistance posed by that pattern (see Chart 2 below).

From Chart 3 below, we can see that the strong rally since March this year can be viewed as an imperfect upward channel. The share price is now pushing against the resistance from the upper boundary of that channel at RM4.00. Can Supermx surpass this medium-term resistance?

For traders, you may take the opportunity to take some profit on this stock after a strong rally from RM2.50 to RM4.00 over the past 3 weeks. Long-term investors can choose to hold onto this stock as this stock may still have more upside.

Note: CIMB has a year-end target of RM6.40 for Supermx which pegged the stock to a PE of 10.5 times its 2010 earning. The date of the report is Oct 21.
