Tatt Giap Group Bhd (-ve)
TRADING of shares in Tatt Giap Group Bhd (fundamental: 0.2/3; valuation: 0.3/3) triggered our momentum algorithm last Friday for the first time this year.

The stock closed 1.5 sen or 10% higher at 16.5 sen, with 24.13 million shares done. In comparison, the stock only saw a 200-day average trading volume of 356,666 shares.

For the fourth financial quarter ended May 31, 2018 (4QFY18), the group narrowed its net loss to RM4.13 million from RM15.44 million for the previous corresponding quarter on lower operating expenses.

Revenue for the quarter, however, shrank 71% to RM5.23 million from RM17.87 million a year ago. For the full FY18, its net loss doubled to RM6.19 million from RM3.01 million previously as revenue fell 19% to RM68 million from RM84.35 million last year.

Given the challenging business environment of the local steel industry as well as the competitive landscape, the group said it intends to slowly divert resources away from its existing steel business into the property business or other businesses that would be able to generate positive returns.

Tatt Giap is currently trading at 1.29 times its net book value.
