Blue-chip stocks yet to match lower liners

PETALING JAYA: Although the Kuala Lumpur Composite Index (KLCI) is at a fresh six-year high, a number of the heavyweight stocks have yet to match the performance of the second and lower liners, which have outperformed the index. 

Analysts say that for the bigger blue-chip stocks to start outperforming the market – even though a number of quality companies have done well since the start of the year – they have to show an improvement in their financial results and the ringgit has to continue on its uptrend.
