  • Golden Energy and Resources (GER SP) shares climbed as much as 3% after the company announced that it plans to buy out third-party Ascend Global Investment Fund’s 20.3% interest in a company that owns 75.3% of Stanmore Resources. The acquisition is not expected to have any material impact on Gear’s earnings per share, but is expected to decrease its consolidated net tangible assets by 6.4 per cent for the year.

The company reported earnings of RM185.7 million for the 1QFY2022 ended November, down 92.1% from the RM2.36 billion from a year ago. Top Glove said that the mediocre performance was likely attributed to normalising average selling prices (ASPs) and glove demand following mass vaccine rollouts globally, while customers remained cautious on replenishing orders. Earnings per share was at 2.32 sen for 1QFY2022, compared to 29.02 sen in 1QFY2021, and sales revenue of RM1.58 billion for the 1QFY2022, 66.7% lower that the RM4.76 billion achieved in 1QFY2021.
  • City Developments Limited (CIT SP) shares climbed 0.7% after it was announced that it plans to sell the Millenium Hotel Seoul and its adjoining land in Seoul, South Korea for 1.1 trillion won.

  • Parkway Life Reit (PREIT SP) units lost 2% after the Reit announced that it is buying a nursing home in Japan’s Greater Tokyo Region for 3.2 billion yen. The nursing home is a 150-bed property in Kisarazu city in Chiba built in 2017 and will be leased for 20 years to a subsidiary of nursing home operator Habitation Group, at an annual gross rental of about 197.2 million yen.
