Boustead Heavy Industries Corp Bhd (-ve)  Red Flag

SHARES in Boustead Heavy Industries Corp Bhd (fundamental: 0/3; valuation: 0.3/3) also triggered our momentum algorithm yesterday for the first time this year after 891,000 shares were exchanged, which is 81 times its 200-day average volume of 11,818 shares.

The counter settled 14 sen or 8.38% higher at RM1.81.

The company was also red-flagged by our proprietary algorithm, suggesting that investors should exercise extra caution when trading in its shares.

In early September, the company announced that its shipbuilding unit’s RM54.9 million contract to supply three harbour tugs had been terminated after KFS Support Services Sdn Bhd failed to fulfil the precedent conditions set out in the contract.

Boustead Heavy Industries Corp has recorded declining earnings per share since 2015. It recorded a net loss per share of 11 sen in the past 12 months.

The company has not paid dividends since its financial year ended December 31, 2013.
