As the net profit jumped 75.5% YoY to RM27.9m in 1H20 vs. RM15.9m in 1H19 on the back of higher supplies of consumables, passport and provision of personalisation services, the share price has stabilised around the RM1.00 level. Meanwhile, the group is continuing its effort to negotiate better pricing for its raw materials from its suppliers, which may contribute to mild margin expansion moving forward. Currently, its orderbook stood at RM673m which is likely to sustain its earnings for the next 2-3 years. We noticed trading volumes have picked up following the flag formation breakout yesterday. Resistance will be set around RM1.11-1.18, while support is anchored around RM0.98-1.00. Cut loss is set around RM0.97.
