Bursa Malaysia Midday Recap: Mostly In The Green
The FBM KLCI continues to gain its momentum, holding steady above the 1,600 mark. Market sentiment improved slightly, with gainers outnumbering laggards. The healthcare sector rebounded after two days of losses, with support from both glove and hospital counters whereas the construction sector also advanced, supported by gains in GAMUDA and SUNCON. On the regional front, China's plans for additional stimulus and a higher budget deficit in 2025 may boost its stock market and positively influence sentiment in the KLCI.
GAMUDA's orderbook is expected to sustain earnings visibility over the next two to three years. Investors eyeing opportunities in the construction sector may consider GAMUDA (Target Price: MYR10.50) as a potential trading opportunitiy.
