On February 5, 2026, major Malaysian blue-chip stocks exhibited varied performance. Maybank showed strong momentum, with its share price rising 0.8% to RM9.35, buoyed by market expectations of robust banking sector earnings. CIMB also recorded a 0.6% gain, closing at RM6.78. However, energy giant Petronas Gas faced pressure, with its stock falling 1.2% to RM17.80, primarily influenced by volatile international natural gas prices and increased regional competition.

Analysts noted that in the current uncertain market, investors are leaning towards companies with stable dividends and strong fundamentals, though energy-related stocks remain susceptible to commodity price fluctuations.
