Malaysia's technology sector demonstrated robust performance today, with the FBM Technology Index climbing 1.8%. This surge was primarily driven by the global semiconductor cycle recovery and increased regional chip demand. Local tech stocks like Inari Amertron and Vitrox led the gains.
Amidst the improving sentiment in the regional semiconductor industry, Malaysia's technology sector emerged as the market's focal point today. The FBM Technology Index climbed 1.8%, outperforming the broader market. Key beneficiaries included Inari Amertron Bhd (INARI), whose shares rose 3.5% to RM3.55, and Vitrox Corporation Bhd (VITROX), which saw its stock price increase by 2.8% to RM7.30. Analysts highlighted that the sustained global demand for advanced chips in smartphones and data centers is generating strong order flows for local semiconductor testing and packaging service providers. Furthermore, government support policies for high-tech manufacturing are providing long-term growth impetus for the sector. The technology sector is expected to maintain its resilience in the coming quarters.
