Ceramic-tile makers on the rise

Ceramic-tile manufacturers have long been out of investors’ radar due to their low profile and tight shareholding. But investors who have managed to buy into some of these companies would have been rewarded by their recent share price surge.

Of the four listed ceramic-tile manufacturers on Bursa Malaysia, three had seen steady share price gains over the last six months. Yi-Lai Bhd, for one, had seen its share price gain 35% from November, while White Horse Bhd’s shares had risen 25% and Seacera Group Bhd’s 32.5%.
