MW This stock lost 99% of its value, and the company still hasn't said why
By Steve Goldstein
You don't need to be a technical analyst to know this chart isn't good.
China Tianrui Group Cement (HK:1252) had its stock plunge 99% late on Tuesday, on no corporate news announcement whatsoever.
By Wednesday morning Hong Kong time, the company halted trading, "pending the release of an announcement in relation to inside information of the Company." The company has yet to say what that information is.
The company certainly is no bellwether, but it's not a minnow either: it lost 634 million renminbi ($88 million) on sales of 7.89 billion renminbi last year, hit hard by China's real estate downturn.
The stock had overwhelming insider ownership, of 93%, according to FactSet data, making it prone to sudden movements.
