Specialist kitchen and wardrobe manufacturer Signature International Bhd (fundamental: 2.10/3, valuation: 1.80/3) triggered our momentum algorithm again yesterday, the second time this month.

An analyst report said the group is tendering for Sime Darby Bhd’s Battersea Power Station Phase 3A kitchen projects, and may announce a special dividend. The report also noted that the RM79.95 million compulsory acquisition of a piece of Signature land measuring 13,506 sq m by the Selangor state government will cause minimal disruption to the group’s operations.
