Aspial Corporation (Aspial), the company started out as a retail jeweler in 1970, but now has established into three core businesses namely property development, jewellery and financial services.
Below are some hightlights of the three core businesses:

Currently, it is still too early to tell as the company’s share price has not move much. However, I see an opportunity of an uptrend happening as the share price has moved above the 50-day moving average (MA). Based on historical events, Aspial can go uptrend for one to three months when the price breaks above the 50-day MA. Moreover, the price is above 200-day MA. This tells us that there is a strong support at $0.41. If this support does not hold, the last line of defence will be $0.39.
Corporate Action
There are a few more things to highlight. Aspial is a company that give regular dividends. For past 12 months, the company paid out $0.033 in dividend (a trailing 12-month yield of 7.6 percent).
