ISEC

think it will start gaining investor's attention this year just like your prediction with JEP

There is an interesting write up on the health care sector at SGX My Gateway.
Quote below is the last paragraph of the write up:

" Of the stocks tabled above, 13 currently maintain Price-to-Earnings (P/E) ratios, with an average P/E of 31x and median P/E of 25x. The five year average P/E for 10 of the stocks is 29x with a median P/E of 23x. P/E ratios and history for the respective stocks can be found in SGX StockFacts (click here)."

... end quote ..

From above it can be seen that ISEC has a lower valuation with a trailing P/E of 22.7 times.

As a side note - ISEC has no debt and a cash horde of S$21.1 mil. This put ISEC in a position for further acquisition/jvs.
