On February 5, 2026, Malaysian blue-chip stocks displayed a mixed performance amidst a cautious market environment. The financial sector showed resilience, with CIMB Group Holdings Bhd's share price rising 1.5% to RM6.80, while Tenaga Nasional Bhd (TNB) gained 1.2% to RM10.25, favored for its stable utility nature. Malayan Banking Bhd (Maybank) and Public Bank Bhd also closed marginally higher by 0.3% and 0.2% respectively, at RM9.25 and RM4.20. However, other blue-chips like Nestle (Malaysia) Bhd and Petronas Chemicals Group Bhd traded flat, failing to track the broader market. Investors appear to be seeking defensive stocks and companies with stable earnings outlooks to navigate the current uncertain global economic landscape. Analysts highlight that the banking sector's resilience is underpinned by expectations of robust earnings.
