Recommendation: ACCUMULATE%D¬urrent Price: RM2.79%D¡2-month Technical Target: RM3.55%D¬atalysts: Positive HDD industry outlook and cheap valuations against peers.............ENG
According to TrendFocus, a research firm specialising in the data storage industry, the industry shipped a new record of 557.2mhard disk drives in 2009 (+3.1% YoY), despite the challenging economic conditions. Subsequently, global shipments are expectedto reach 665.1m units in 2010 (+19.4% YoY) and 742.7m units (+11.7% YoY) in 2011.
Hence, ENG is poised to benefit from organic growth in demand for tech products. The group has two key customers, Western%Digital (WD) and Seagate, which collectively contributed approximately 52% and 14% of total revenue in FY09 respectively.%Despite surging 415% YoY and 74.4% YTD, ENG continues to trade at cheap P/Es of 5.5x FY10 and 4.3x FY11, compared to%D¡1.9x and 7.8x for peers. In our view, the strong fundamentals justify the rally and investors should continue to invest in ENG aswe believe more upsides remains, underpinned by an industry up-cycle that will extend through 2011.

[×] [o] abc: Consolidation in share price offers opportunity to accumulate for another up leg above RM3.00Profit taking activities accelerated after ENG’s share price jumped to a 5-year high of RM2.98 on 25 March. Following the 1st major%D«reakout from RM2.00 after releasing its excellent 4QFY09 results, we are still optimistic of another fresh up leg above RM3.00, in%Dªnticipation of a strong 1QFY10 results announcement in mid-May. The uptrend channel remains intact, and the stock is expectedto re-challenge 52-week high at RM2.98 if ENG’s price is able to maintain a posture around RM2.43 (40-d SMA).Once the RM2.98 level is taken out, we expect further advances towards RM3.22 (76.4%FR from top of RM3.60 and low ofRM2.00) and eventually our technical target of RM3.55 (50% FR from 10-year high of RM6.62 and low of RM0.48). Stop-loss pointis RM2.43.
We expect ENG’s share price to play catch-up and narrow itsvaluation gap compared to JCY and Notion, underpinned by its strong EPS growth of 38% and 29% for FY10 and FY11respectively
we would still apply about 30% discount to ENG in deriving our technical target of RM3.55, as compared to larger peerssuch as JCY and Notion, which enjoy bigger market cap, higher liquidity and fatter profit margins as compared to ENG.
