On February 5, 2026, performance across various sectors on Bursa Malaysia was mixed. The banking sector emerged as the day's highlight, benefiting from market expectations of sustained high interest rates and economic recovery. Major banking stocks like Public Bank Bhd and Hong Leong Bank Bhd rose by 1.0% and 0.7% respectively. Concurrently, the technology sector experienced a pullback, with the technology index dropping 1.5%. Some tech counters, including D&O Green Technologies and Inari Amertron, fell by over 2%, possibly due to profit-taking and a broader softening trend in global tech stocks. Meanwhile, the property sector garnered attention; despite a flat performance today, analysts believe it could see a boost in coming months with potential new government housing or infrastructure stimulus measures. The healthcare sector remained relatively stable, with minor fluctuations in glove stocks.
