TRADERS’ CORNER

Hexza Corp Berhad

(HEX MK) Technical BUY on breakout with +22.7%

potential return

Last price : RM0.87

Target price : RM0.94, RM1.00

Support : RM0.815

Stop loss : RM0.79

BUY with a target price of RM0.94 and

stop-loss at below RM0.815. Following a

breakout above the RM0.815 mark,

HEXZA extended its previous day’s gain

on the back of a higher trading volume.

Growing bullish divergence between the

DMI lines and the positive readings of

the MACD indicator suggest a positive

near-term outlook. Meanwhile, the rising

RSI indicator also suggests that buying

interest would continue to strengthen

further in the near term. A retest of the

all-time high of RM0.94 is expected in

the near term, with further upside

expected towards the psychological

target of RM1.00 if the buying

momentum sustains at current levels.

Expected Timeframe: 2 weeks to 2

months

Kejuruteraan Samudra

Timur Berhad (KSTB MK) Technical BUY on breakout with +28.4%

potential return

Last price : RM0.54

Target price : RM0.67, RM0.775

Support : RM0.49

Stop-loss : RM0.46

BUY with a target price of RM0.67 and stop-

loss at below RM0.46. Yesterday’s spike in

share price saw SAMUDRA stage a

convincing move above the 7- and 21-day

EMA. The high volume accompanying

yesterday’s upward movement suggests

renewed buying interest and the possibility of

the stock breaking out above its sideway

trading range. A breakout above the

immediate resistance of RM0.555 would lead

to a retest of its previous high of RM0.67. Any

further breakout above the RM0.67 mark

would lead to an extended rally towards our

target of RM0.775 over the medium term.

Expected Timeframe: 2 weeks to 3

months

PBA Holdings Berhad

(PBAH MK) Technical BUY with +19.6 % potential

return

Last price : RM1.10

Target price : RM1.30, RM1.45

Support : RM1.00

Stop-loss : RM0.98

BUY with a target price of RM1.45 and

stop-loss at below RM1.00. Having

declined over the last 3 months, PBA

had reversed its bearish trend with a

close above the EMA lines. The golden

crosses of the EMA lines and the MACD

lines also reaffirm our view that the

stock is likely to trend higher in the near

term. Furthermore, the crossing of the

RSI above the 50-pt threshold also

suggests that buying momentum would

continue to pick up going forward. A

breakout above the RM1.11 mark would

drive the share price towards the

immediate resistance of RM1.30 in the

near term, with a retest of the previous

high of RM1.45 expected upon further

breakout.

Expected Timeframe: 2 weeks to 3

months

FROM THE REGIONAL MORNING NOTES. . .

Oil & Gas: Towards A Burgeoning Storage Market

According to a Platts conference, the storage industry’s near-term outlook remains

bullish. Current capacity and planned additions are sufficient to meet future product

demand and storage terminals are fully utilised, given the crude supply surplus. Long-

term outlook remains uncertain if upcoming new capacity generates competition. We

believe Dialog and MISC are trading at sector premiums, partly due to their exposure to

storage terminals. Maintain MARKET WEIGHT on the sector.
