Ann: FY18 Half Year Results Announcement Date, page-77

Hi, just done some quick analysis on both companies. I really can't understand the current increase in the SGH share price following their results announcement, at least compared to SHJ.  SHJ has lower revenue but seems to be operating more efficiently, has lower debt, more WIP, is PROFITABLE, paid a DIVIDEND, and yet still has a lower market cap?  Someone must think SGH is going to significantly turn the operational performance around.
