Fallen Angels: Singapore listed MM2 Asia Ltd (MM2 SP) looks to be the most immediately actionable of the 7 stocks added to our list of fallen angels. The company’s March rights issue marked a bottom in the stock, de-risking the film production and cinema operator’s recovery from COVID disruptions. While an out-of-context audit qualification followed by Singapore’s COVID relapse caused a sell-off last week, the vaccination runway is clear and other key markets for the company have already reopened. Other names in the list include Matahari (LPPF IJ), MacroAsia (MAC PM), and Shell Philippines (SHLPH PM).
