SGB: Who's Looking After The Baby?

Spring Gallery Bhd ('SGB') is involved in manufacturing, sales & trading in pottery, porcelain, ceramic wares & ornaments. It has diversified into property development. Its first project will be a JV development in Kemaman, Terengganu named Southern City project. SGB recently completed a ICPS issue (with free warrants) to raise RM26.125 million for this purpose as well as to for working capital plus to service its bank loans.

I am writing on this stock because the trading of the shares & the newly-listed warrant, SGB-wa are showing unhealthy signs. Firstly, let's look at the monthly chart. The share price had rallied since April 14 from RM0.70 to the current price of RM1.30. Unless there is more exciting development in the pipeline, I doubt normal investors would go ga-ga over a company with a small project in Terengganu.

The unhealthy sign i referred to earlier is the divergence between SGB-wa price rally compared SGB price rally. Note the following:
1) SGB-wa seems to be moving downwards from April 19 to April 22 while SGB was moving on a upward bias.
2) SGB rallied on opening on April 25. For a good 1 hour, SGB-wa was unsure whether to follow suit.
3) In the afternoon of April 25, SGB moved sideways while SGB-wa traded downward.

To make it even more peculiar, SGB-wa has been trading deep within the money. With its exercise price of 60 sen, SGB-wa should trade at RM0.70 based on SGB price at RM1.30. Alas, SGB-wa is only trading at RM0.28-0.30.

As posted previously, if a warrant trades at a discount, it is a unhealthy sign. Given the sharp price rally in SGB, I would recommend that you avoid this stock and the warrant. If you are so lucky to have the stock and the warrant, you should take the opportunity to sell into strength.
