Hi-P

Looks like Hi-P price may edge higher with the good set of financial results from Apple.

It would be positive if price can move up to re-conquer $1.34 smoothly. Breaking out with ease + good volume that may propel to drive the price higher towards $1.43.



NAV of 68.4 cents.
EPS of 15 cents.
PE of less than 10.
Yield may be more than 7%.

Forward-looking guidance: Apple guided toward fourth-quarter revenue between $60 billion and $62 billion, edging out Wall Street predictions of $59.47 billion, according to StreetAccount.



Apple reported strong results for the fiscal third quarter Tuesday, posting big beats on earnings per share and average iPhone selling price.
Here's how the company did compared with Wall Street projections:
  • EPS: $2.34 vs. $2.18, according to Thomson Reuters consensus estimates
  • Revenue: $53.3 billion vs. $52.34 billion, according to Thomson Reuters consensus estimates
  • iPhone sales: 41.3 million vs. 41.79 million, according to StreetAccount
The quarterly report comes after a market rout for major tech stocks. Silicon Valley giants Facebook and Twitter each shed 20 percent after disappointing reports last week.
Shares of Apple rose 3 percent in extended trading, after the company fell right in line with analyst projections of strong upsides for the quarter that ended June 30. EPS grew by 40 percent year over year, and revenue grew by 17 percent year over year.
Many were hanging high hopes on Apple's flagship handset and its climbing average selling price (ASP). The 41.3 million iPhones shipped during the third quarter is basically flat from the year-ago period, but the ASP of $724 is a notable jump from the year-ago period. That ASP bump is likely be because of the pricey iPhone X, which starts at $999.(www.cnbc.com)

Looking through their financial numbers for past 5 yeas, Total revenue has been rising from $686m in 2014 to $839m in 2018. This is rather impressive. Similarly, diluted EPS has also been rising from 22 cents in 2014 to 25.5 cents in 2018. A nice and consistence increasing of total revenue cum rising in diluted EPS. Looks positive.


Dividend of 28 cents has been declared for past 5 years from 2014 to 2018. The current price of $7.49 is giving a yield of 3.7% which is pretty attractive.

Net Income has also been generally rising from $320m in 2014 to $364m in 2018. What a great achievement for this Singapore Exchange authority.

I would monitor this counter and consider when the trading opportunity surfaced/triggered.

Trade/invest base on your own decision.
