AN OVERLOOKED FOOD STOCK, TRADING 62% DISCOUNT TO NTA !!!
Hello to all readers out there. Recently due to the CMCO which was reinstated by the government, I saw that many food stocks had rallied such as SAUDEE, SMCAP and few others. But I wish to shift your attention to this food stock in the MAIN Board which I feel had been overlooked by the market.
The stock which I'd like to talk about today is HB GLOBAL LIMITED (HBGLOB - Stock Code 5187, Main Market, Consumer Products & Services - F&B).

1. IMPROVING QUARTER RESULTS AS CHINA MARKET RECOVERS
HBGLOB main business is in China. As we noticed, that recently, China has been able to control its COVID19 cases to double digits. Therefore, economic activity is starting to pickup in China.
As we see from HBGLOB QR summary below, the revenue has been improving in the last quarter, and net loss has been reduced as well. I anticipate that the coming QR should be showing a better result, such as further reduced losses or even coming into the green. This would be a positive boost for investor confidence in company business.
