EITA Resources (EITA MK) Technical BUY with +15.7% potential return Last price : RM1.34 Target Price : RM1.45, RM1.55 Support : RM1.24 Stop-loss: RM1.23 BUY with a target price of RM1.55 with a stop loss below RM1.23. EITA’s share price has been climbing along the rising trendline since the breakout above the “cloud” on 29 Oct 13. As the share price retraced from the recent high of RM1.30, it formed a classic “1,2,3 formation” with yesterday’s breakout on the back of a higher trading volume of 0.69m shares (vs 20-day average of 0.2m), signifying upward continuation hereafter. Given the bullish crossover in both MACD and Stochastic, we expect EITA to accelerate its climb in the near term. Thus, we peg our upside target at the 1.61x Fibonacci extension level of RM1.55.
This counter could be one of the rising star in future. One of the major shareholder is actually boss from QL Resources, an entreprenuer who is well known in value investment, currently holding 10%++ of EITA share. Net cash company, cash=RM35mil, debt=20mil. Recent escalator incidents in China could open a door for it to penetrates China market and hence boost its earning in future.
i counted EITA EV/EBITDA is only 0.7. Besides that CROIC is 9%. The quarter result is excellent. And it is severely undervalued as no one see it yet. Slowly collect.
By Meena Lakshana / The Edge Financial Daily | April 20, 2015 : 10:15 AM MYT Share on facebookShare on twitter Printer-friendly versionSend by emailPDF version KUALA LUMPUR: Lift and bus duct manufacturer EITA Resources Bhd ( Financial Dashboard) is looking at inorganic ways to grow its business to reach its ambitious RM1 billion revenue target by 2020, with mergers and acquisitions and joint ventures (JVs) on the table, said group managing director Fu Wing Hoong.
This is not surprising as the company only recorded revenue of RM198.91 million in its financial year ended September (FY14), just about 20% of its target by 2020.
One recent example of its bid for inorganic growth is the JV between its wholly-owned unit EITA-Schneider (Mfg) Sdn Bhd and Chinese firm Shanghai Step Electric Corp, which it hopes will boost its manufacturing division.
Fu, said in an interview with The Edge Financial Daily, that the company is also eyeing other projects in the Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) Line 2 from Sungai Buloh to Serdang and Putrajaya. The tender for that is expected to begin by year end, he added.
EITA Resources already has two MRT contracts to supply lifts and escalators — worth RM95 million — in the bag. Those are expected to contribute to its earnings in the fourth quarter (4Q) of FY15.
Furthermore, Fu said the company, which has already booked some projects in Myanmar and the Middle East, is eyeing Southeast Asia and the Middle East for business expansion.
Fu also shared that the company’s fire-resistant cable, Pyrotec, which was launched in January this year, has already garnered an order book of RM4 million, largely from Indonesia.
“We took quite a significant, aggressive marketing with our partner ... and we have good achievement and market penetration, not only in Malaysia but also overseas. That [RM4 million order book] is a sign of good penetration and market acceptance, so we are optimistic,” he said.
EITA Resources’ core business is the design, manufacturing, installation, commissioning and maintenance of lifts, escalators and travelators under the brand EITASchneider. The company entered into a technical collaboration agreement with Schneider Steuerungstechnik GmbH in 2002.
Under its wholly-owned subsidiary, Furutec Electrical Sdn Bhd, the company is involved in the design and manufacture of bus duct systems and fabricated metal products.
While EITA Resources is looking to boost revenue, it is mindful of headwinds that come in the form of uncertainty over demand, supply and stockholding in the market, no thanks to the implementation of the goods and services tax on April 1.
The weakened ringgit against the US dollar — closed at 3.65 last Friday — is also expected to affect its earnings in FY15 as local demand will be impacted but not significantly, said Fu.
“Our marketing and distribution segment imports are mainly in US dollars. We do not hedge 100%. Therefore, the recent weakness of ringgit affects us to some extent,” he said.
“For exports, we have a natural hedge. For example, we export some products in US dollars and we also buy some products in US dollars. So, it’s somehow OK.
“But for local demand products, we have net foreign exchange (forex) exposure,” he said, adding that the company has an internal forex hedging policy that helps curb net exposure of its local business to forex costs.
EITA Resources’ 1QFY15 showed that earnings were already crimped, with net profit decreasing 19.4% to RM2.66 million, compared with RM3.3 million in 1QFY14. However, its revenue increased 8.25% to RM49.83 million, compared with RM46.04 million in 1QFY14.
Nevertheless, Fu said the company should still be able to chart a satisfactory full-year financial performance in FY15, due to its healthy order book of RM216 million as at Dec 1, 2014 — RM194 million from the lift division and RM19 million from bus duct systems.
Moving forward, EITA Resources is planning capacity expansion and it has allocated RM13 million for that over the next two years.
EITA Resources wants its manufacturing division to contribute 70% to its target of RM1 billion revenue by 2020.
The counter closed one sen higher at RM1.19 last Friday, giving it a market capitalisation of RM154.7 million.
Traderman, dont post 8 month ago news to influence newbie. EITA is still hidden gem as nt much ppl sees it. Those who bought it is definitely value investor for now. Ur stupid tactics wont works here. For anyone who sees EITA, i ll say HOLD TIGHT. If u had learn bout william o neil investing rules, EITA is fulfilling it by today bullish uptrend.

Note that the improvement in profit before tax in Q4FY2015 (ended Sep 2015) was mainly due to RM8.8m in fair value gains on forward exchange contracts.
The total PBT of the Group for the current quarter increased by RM8.9 million or 205.5%, corresponding to the HIGHER REVENUE and UNREALISED FOREIGN EXCHANGE GAIN on fair value valuation of the forward exchange contracts. Cumulatively, the Group PBT increased by RM10.0 million or 57.7% for the same reasons.
(i) Marketing and Distribution Segment Current quarter revenue decreased by RM0.2 million or 1.1% mainly due to lower revenue from electrical and electronics components. Cumulative revenue increased by RM5.9 million or 7.2% mainly contributed by power distribution equipment and electrical and electronics components. Current quarter PBT increased by RM0.02 million or 1.1% despite lower revenue generated mainly due to higher sales of better margin products from different product mix. Cumulative PBT increased by RM1.1 million or 13.9% for the same reason.
(ii) Manufacturing Segment Current quarter revenue increased by RM13.2 million or 76.0% mainly due to more execution of elevator projects and higher revenue from busduct. Cumulative revenue increased by RM2.6 million or 2.6% for the same reason. Current quarter PBT increased by RM7.7 million or 465.4% due to the higher revenue recorded and unrealised foreign exchange gain on fair value valuation of the forward exchange contracts. Cumulative PBT increased by RM7.0 million or 122.5% for the same reasons.
(iii) Service Segment Current quarter revenue improved by RM2.4 million or 58.0% mainly contributed by elevator repairs sales as well as higher project execution of electrical and security systems. Cumulative revenue increased by RM7.5 million or 45.7% for the same reason. Current quarter PBT increased by RM1.2 million or 159.9% corresponding to the increased revenue. Cumulative PBT increased by RM2.0 million or 48.2% for the same reason.
So, dont influence by negative the edge stock of momentum. EITA did earn alot and improved. Its latest earning is boosted by higher revenue and unrealised forex gain.
And EITA is one of the stock of the day in the edge. So its good fundamental is approved by the edge. The negative momentum today in my opinion, the edge want investor sell down to accumulate it. Just my opinion. See how EITA go down then went up again. Strong buying.
Fair value gain on forward exchange contract meaning recognizing the unrealized gain on remaining forward contracts that not yet utilized at the end of Sep 2015. Upon utilization of such forward contracts in the coming quarters, there may have negative impact to the profit depending on the exchange rate then.
However, since the unrealized gain has recognized in the previous quarter, there will not have any future gain upon utilization of such forward contract to purchase materials in the next few quarters.
Info and facts from my friend who went to EITA's recent AGM:
1. Services segment is very strong It is required by law to service/maintain your elevators. 90-95% of elevators/escalators installed will be serviced by EITA. Even if some customers source for cheaper 3rd party maintenance service, eventually will go back to EITA because some parts are manufactured only by EITA. Customers can only 100% change new maintenance service providers if they change completely new elevator systems which is very unlikely. Therefore everytime they install elevator systems, they get a permanent new monthly income stream.
2. Huge bulk of the RM96.4m MRT project they secured will be done in this year alone. Estimated completion 1H 2017.
3. EITA currently have about 10% market share in the elevator & escalators locally.
4. EITA's fire resistant cables Pyrotech and new busduct systems are rapidly gaining market acceptance.
5. EITA 1Q report is out now. Results have improved compared to previous year's quarter.
This book is the result of the author's many years of experience and observation throughout his 26 years in the stockbroking industry. It was written for general public to learn to invest based on facts and not on fantasies or hearsay....
