Demand for airconds to increase 120%
According to Panasonic, demand for airconds are expected to increase 120% in second quarter of the year. This is great news for SUPERLON. It has the largest market share, 55% to 60% of the domestic rubber thermal insulation industry.
To cope with huge demand, SUPERLON is expanding production capacity and building a new 70,000 square feet warehouse next to its existing factory.

Concluding Remarks
Low-profile SUPERLON is under the radar of all big research houses, causing the stock to be underpriced at low PER of only 9 times. It will profit from 120% increase in demand for airconds in second half of the year.
A final dividend of 3 Sen per share in 4Q FY16 will bring total dividend to 12 Sen per share or dividend yield to 6.1%.
If you annualise the past 3 quarter EPS, you will arrive at EPS of 21.76 sen for FY2016. At current price of RM1.97, prospective PER is only 9 times. This valuation is low compared to other rubber-product stocks where PER is 15 to 25 times. 
If you input a lower PER of 13 times for its small market capitalisation, fair value for SUPERLON is RM2.82, a huge 43% upside!
