Texchem Resources Bhd (Technical Buy)

• After hitting a trough of RM0.965 at the end of May this year – its lowest price level since mid-December 2021 – a technicalrebound will probably be forthcoming for TEXCHEM shares.

• On the chart, the stock – which closed at RM0.99 yesterday – will likely shift higher to be driven by the occurrence of a bottomfailure swing by the RSI indicator (after setting higher lows in the oversold area) and an anticipated reversal from the oversoldterritory by the stochastic indicator.

• The emergence of renewed buying interest could then propel the share price to test our immediate resistance threshold ofRM1.10 (R1; 11% upside potential) initially. This may be followed by an attempt to fill a price gap (previously left opened inthe second half of May) to challenge our next resistance target of RM1.23 (R2; 24% upside potential).

• We have placed our stop loss price level at RM0.90 (representing a downside risk of 9%).

• Fundamental-wise, TEXCHEM – which has five core business segments, namely industrial, polymer engineering, food,restaurant and venture business – reported net profit of RM21.9m (-14% YoY) in FY December 2022 that was followed by amarginal net loss of RM0.2m in 1QFY23 (versus net earnings of RM13.1m in 1QFY22).

• Based on consensus expectations, the group’s bottomline is forecasted to come in at RM15.0m for FY23 and RM26.0m forFY24. This translates to forward PERs of 7.7x this year and 4.5x next year, respectively with its 1-year rolling forward PERpresently hovering at 1 SD below its historical mean.
