PETALING JAYA: UMW Holdings Bhd is expected to record better earnings on the back of improved auto sales and the disposal of subsidiary UMW Oil & Gas Corp Bhd (UMW-OG), according to MIDF Research.

“From the second quarter of 2017, earnings should improve quite significantly from the absence of UMW-OG losses in the second half and further improvement in auto earnings against the seasonally weak and peak dollar in the first quarter,” it said in a report yesterday.
