Major Malaysian blue-chip stocks showed mixed performance on Monday. Maybank and Tenaga Nasional performed strongly, rising 0.5% and 0.7% respectively, providing support to the KLCI. Sime Darby and Public Bank, however, saw slight declines.
KUALA LUMPUR, March 2, 2026 – Blue-chip stocks on Bursa Malaysia displayed a mixed performance during Monday's trading session. Maybank stood out with a 0.5% increase, closing at RM9.25, while Tenaga Nasional also recorded a 0.7% gain, settling at RM10.80. The upward movement of these two heavyweights provided crucial support to the overall FBM KLCI performance. However, not all blue-chips fared well. Sime Darby, for instance, declined 0.3% to RM2.30, and Public Bank also saw a marginal dip of 0.2% to RM4.20. Analysts noted that despite cautious market sentiment, investors are still seeking large-cap stocks with stable dividends and strong fundamentals. Oil and gas giant Petronas Chemicals remained flat at RM7.00, reflecting the volatile crude oil prices.
