Sheng Siong falls after run-up

Shares of Singapore supermarket chain Sheng Siong (SHEN.SI) fell as much as 16% on Thursday following a run-up in the previous sessions on hopes that the company has a recession-proof business.
 
At 11:17 a.m., Sheng Siong shares were down 8.9% at $0.51 on a volume of around 160 million shares — the top traded stock by volume so far.
 
“The stock has run up a lot so people may think it’s a bit overdone. The general sentiment is also slightly better so people may be turning to the beaten down stocks,” said a local trader.
 
Even after the fall, Sheng Siong shares were still around 55% higher than the IPO price of $0.33 on Aug 17.
