Zelan Bhd (+ve)

SHARES in Zelan Bhd (fundamental: 0.2/3, valuation: 0.9/3), which triggered our momentum algorithm yesterday for the first time since the start of this year, closed one sen or 4% lower at 12 sen. It saw 6.09 million shares traded, versus its 200-day average volume of one million shares.

Its net loss widened to RM59.1 million in the fourth financial quarter ended Dec 31, 2017 (4QFY17), compared with RM37.7 million a year earlier.

The group attributed the bigger net loss to a gross loss of RM1.1 million, diminution in carrying a value of long-term receivables from the International Islamic University Foundation Centre and Meena Plaza projects of RM43.4 million, and a higher unrealised foreign exchange loss of RM5.7 million from overseas subsidies. Quarterly revenue shrank 73.3% to RM17.39 million from RM65.11 million.

For the full FY17, Zelan’s net loss was about flat at RM67.52 million versus RM67.62 million in FY16. Revenue fell 68% to RM71.07 million from RM222.79 million.
