KUALA LUMPUR (April 21): theedgemarkets.com highlighted seven stocks with momentum at Bursa Malaysia’s afternoon close today. The list showed four stocks with positive momentum and three stocks with negative momentum.
Stocks with positive momentum were:
OKA Corp Bhd – unchanged at RM1.04
Hiap Teck Venture Bhd – unchanged at 43.5 sen
IGB Corp Bhd – unchanged at RM2.5
AirAsia X Bhd – unchanged at 38 sen
Stocks with negative momentum were:
Ekovest Bhd – unchanged at RM1.43
Wang-Zheng Bhd – unchanged at 76 sen
Ikhmas Jaya Group Bhd – unchanged at 78.5 sen
The list of stocks with momentum is generated using a propriety mathematical algorithm highlighting stocks with a build-up in trading volume and price. The algorithm differentiates between stocks that exhibit positive (+ve) momentum and negative (-ve) momentum.
This list is not a buy or sell recommendation. It merely tells you which stocks are seeing higher than normal volume and price movements. The share price may move up or down from this point. But the “+ve” (suggesting a rising price trend on volume) and “-ve” (suggesting a falling price trend on volume) indicators should give readers a better idea of what the market is buying and when to sell. Note also that momentum generally only persists for a short period of time.
However, each stock has an accompanying fundamental score and valuation score to help readers evaluate the attractiveness of the stocks, if they want to ride the momentum.
