Can Creative Technology conquer the world again?
For a company that has sold 400 million Sound Blasters, Creative Technology is an iconic homegrown company that I always admire and respect. The founder and CEO, Sim Wong Hoo is a legendary entrepreneur who had put Singapore on the world map and made us proud to be Singaporeans. Certainly, there are not many people who could challenge technology giants like Apple and Huawei and sued them successfully for millions. But it really pains me that Creative Technology has fallen hard in recent times.
Can Creative Technology roll back the time and restore its former glory? Earlier this year, share price stormed back in style, surging from $1 to an incredible $9 within a week upon the release of its new marquee audio product. The resurgent share price indicated all is not lost for Creative Technology.

Recent revival in the share price demonstrated that Creative Technology is still capable of staging a comeback and we should not write off Sim Wong Hoo’s team yet.
To make money out of Creative Technology stock, investors must be disciplined enough to set entry and exit levels. Fundamentally, this stock is not a growth nor dividend counter.

Will the much touted product, Super X-Fi, turn the tide for Creative Technology?
