AusGroup a Top 200 Stock by Turnover in 2019, Top 50 in Early 2020 

The strongest of Singapore’s 50 most traded stocks for the first 12 sessions of 2020 year was AusGroup. As a business, AusGroup offers a range of integrated service solutions to the energy, mining and industrial sectors across Australia and South East Asia. On 10 December, AusGroup announced its fourth long term maintenance, shutdown and fabrication support contract awarded for the preceding 5 months, as noted here; AusGroup’s subsidiary MAS Australasia Pty Ltd was awarded a three year Rope Access Services contract with Rio Tinto.

AusGroup has also averaged S$5 million a day in turnover over the first 12 sessions of 2019, compared to less than S$200,000 a day over 2019. AusGroup reported a net profit after tax of A$0.2 million for its 1QFY20 (ended 30 Sep), with the investor presentation available here. This followed AusGroup’s reporting a reporting net profit of A$2.3 million for its FY19 (click here for the FY19 Annual Report). The company also noted that in FY19 its balance sheet continued to strengthen with the net debt decreasing by A$25.4 million in FY19, mainly due to the successful placement and rights issue completed in the financial year, whose proceeds were partly used to repay debt and debt to equity conversions.

The 10 strongest stocks of the 50 most traded stocks for the past 12 sessions are tabled below.
