Choo Bee Metal Industries Bhd (-ve)

SHARES in Choo Bee Metal Industries Bhd (fundamental: 1.3/3, valuation: 1.4/3) closed up 15 sen or 8.8% higher at RM1.86 yesterday, after 436,300 shares were traded, compared to its 200-day average volume of 17,769 shares.

Choo Bee is involved in processing steel coils into steel products. It also fabricates steel products and trades in hardware products.

In an interview with The Edge Financial Daily in June, the company shared that it would be among the beneficiaries of the government’s decision to knock down trade barriers for imported hot-rolled coil (HRC) in the downstream segment.

It started sourcing 80% of its raw materials from other Asian countries since Megasteel Sdn Bhd, the country’s sole HRC maker, had temporarily ceased production since March.

At the current share price, Choo Bee is trading at 0.46 times its book value.
