Adventa HitsThe Limelight

Adventa is no longer in the glove business. It is now focusing in healthcare industry which it says is more profitable and predictable. The stock was up 19.5 sen after it went ex-dividend (XD) of RM1.70 per share. Prior to XD, the stock was last traded at 1.93. After XD, it closed at 42.5 sen on very heavy turnover. Bursa has queried the company on its sudden price-surge. If it gives a good and positive answer, the stock is likely to move up further. Interest in the stock is likely to be ongoing for a while. I like this stock because the company is in good hands with excellent principles.
Below is an extract from its website.
