Maybank IBG Kopi-O (12 Dec 2024)
The KLCI slipped again by 0.36% as hospital counters experienced a sharp decline following the recent hike in insurance premiums. Both KPJ (-9.20%) and IHH (-3.76%) faced significant selling pressure. There was however renewed interest in the technology sector (+0.50%) in the afternoon session, driven primarily by semiconductor stocks. Our top picks in the tech sector are DNEX (+12.68%) and SAMAIDEN (+2.50%), both of which are featured in today’s Traders’ Almanac.
