We like CHINHIN for its (i) recovering net profit over the past 3 quarters, (ii) attractive valuation of 13.3x PE (26.5% below its 2Y historical average of 18.1x), (iii) solid FY18-20f net profit CAGR of 30.7%. Also, its 34% shareholdings in Solarvest may translate to a potential earnings boost moving forward. Technically, it is oversold after the recent selldown and our indicator is suggesting that CHINHIN is warrant for a technical rebound in the near term. Resistance is set around RM0.64-0.66, followed by a LT TP of RM0.69. Support is pegged around RM0.54-0.555, while stop loss is set around RM0.53.

Solarvest contributions could boost CHINHIN’s earnings. CHINHIN holds 34% in Solarvest and we believe this should be a booster for CHINHIN. Based on the growing net income trend of Solarvest from RM4.2m in FY16 to RM11.1m in FY19, coupled with consensus earnings forecast of Solarvest (FY21f-22f: RM16.6m-17.9m), this would translate to a potential earnings boost of c.RM5.6-6.1m for CHINHIN.

Selloffs likely to be overdone and anticipating for further rebound. Based on the recent sell down in price, we believe its declining trend is overdone and may warrant a rebound in the near term. Our indicator is providing a technical rebound signal and volume is picking up over the past 3 days. Resistance is located around RM0.64-0.66, while LT TP stood at RM0.69. Support is pegged around RM0.545-0.555 with a cut loss set around RM0.54.
