IQ Group Berhad (“IQ”) is a company that specializes in manufacturing of sensor products for various applications. They are a relatively small company with a market capitalization of only RM186m.
Key highlights:
Recently, IQ broke the 6 month technical resistance of RM2.05 and the 200 day SMA. This is the trigger to very quickly perform an analysis on IQ. I suspect that the jump in price was due to either insiders buying ahead of the Q results. Although volume for IQ is thin, nevertheless the volume is significantly higher than 50 day volume EMA.
Like most, I am a disciple of both Fong SL and KYY’s investment methods.
Fong’s methods are relatively straight forward with the following criteria:
Borrowing from KCChong’s article for Fong’s criteria: http://klse.i3investor.com/blogs/kcchongnz/88651.jsp
Seeing that most of Fong’s criteria has been met, it is no surprise that he is part of the top 30 shareholders list as at the last annual report date. Note that the top 30 shareholders form 91.3% of total shareholding. This leads to IQ being extremely illiquid as there are few retailers and punters (something I particularly like).
I think the most important thing next is to know whether it will make more money next year (KYY’s golden rule) however this question is extremely difficult and requires extensive research which I have not done yet.
In short, IQ is engaged in:
IQ manufactures mostly sensors which have lighting and feedback applications. I understand that they will be able to benefit from two big things:
While I cannot yet tell whether IQ group will be more profitable in the next year compared to the current, however at least with this investment, the downside is limited.
With that, I apologize that I am unable to give a target price, however I hope this has been useful information for you (for now).
Happy Investing,
Cephas

Sorry Shareinvestor88, it's not easy to find information on IQ. They are very under the radar.
What I can tell you so far is that it is very interesting that their latest Q their revenue is quite high, which is unusual since Q1 of the year is usually their weakest quarter.
