Hot stock: Genting drops below S$1.00
CASINO operator Genting Singapore has hit a fresh 52-week low in Wednesday's trading, falling below the psychologically significant S$1 mark to hit S$0.99.
Over 30 million shares were traded by around 1pm, making it the top stock by value traded on the Singapore Exchange. It was trading between S$0.99 and S$0.995.
The company has been buying back its shares. It was hit by a 50 per cent fall in quarterly profit to S$97.4 million in November last year amid a slump in Chinese visitors to Singapore.
