Technical Stock Alert;

ARMADA (RM3.75) - we take comfort from its latest quarterly results reporting which shows operation wise the company continues to run efficiently with EBITA margins above 60% and 99% uptime for its FPSOs. Management has acknowledged the markets disappointment in the lack of new major contracts but is confident of securing at least one if not two of the 5 FPSOs they are currently bidding for, before year end. Current order book remains healthy at RM10.6 (including extensions). Its RSI is showing some positive divergence despite price continuing to languish around its year low of RM3.67. Expect a significant bounce to around the RM4.08 upon the securing of the FPSO contract. BUY

Maxis (RM6.98) - stk has crept up from RM6.20 to RM7 on possible funds accumulation ahead of increase in weightage in MSCI Index by month end. Technically MACD signaling overbought situation with RSI at high 75. Advocate to Sell into strength as operating cash flows may be insufficient to sustain the attractive dividend payout in future even as co faces margin compression from increased marketing efforts to regain market share. In addition, previously enjoyed tax incentives for broadband rollout will also cease this year.
