TRADING in the shares of software services provider Nova MSC Bhd (fundamental: 1.85/3, valuation: 0/3) triggered our momentum algorithm last Friday for the sixth time this year.

On July 12, Nova MSC inked an agreement with Japan Asia Group Ltd to sell its 51% stake in Singapore-based engineering consulting firm PrimusTech Pte Ltd for S$3 million (about RM8.9 million).
Proceeds from the proposed disposal will be used for the group’s general working capital requirements to support its existing business.
