Hot stock: Artivision Tech says online articles on company could be behind heavy trading

ARTIVISION Tech said on Thursday that articles published on investment websites and forums in relation to the company could have caused the unusual volume movement in its shares.

In its response, Artivision Tech said: "The board notes that the company's shares may be covered from time to time by investment websites and forums in articles relating to the company.

"The board wishes to highlight that the management of the company had not provided any writers of online content any information relating to the company and the group which had not been disclosed to the company's shareholders and SGX. Hence, the views and perspectives of such persons remain theirs alone."

The company added that shareholders and investors are urged to exercise caution in trading of its shares.
