JKH saw 4 million of its shares change hands via 1,681 trades for Rs. 598.3 million. It contributed second most for ASPI’s gain yesterday which crossed the 10,000 points level. Given its flagship mixed development Cinnamon Life, JKH is perceived to be a direct beneficiary of new casino legislation.
Asia Securities said the ASPI surpassed the psychological level of 10,000 with JKH Group leading the charge, boosted by the long-awaited gaming licence announcement coupled with faster-than-expected recovery in both domestic and overseas tourism operations going into the key winter holiday season.
First Capital said buying spree intensified on JKH as investor interest renewed backed by the Gazette issue on regulating and allowing casino operations in the country.
