What is the PE ratio for Benalec holdings please?
Based on my calculation it is approximately 12.50 for 2010.
Am invest has placed a fair value of RM1.90, probably because they are the underwriters.Would you recommend to subscribe?
Thank you
Hi, for me I would like to subscribe because I can see that for previous 2 years, the growth is very good. They also will pay dividend but on low side.
