KPJ favoured by analysts

AmInvestment Bank Research, which has chosen KPJ as its top pick in the healthcare sector, said KPJ’s earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation margins improved 3.7 percentage points year-on-year (y-o-y) to 16.7% in the first quarter of 2019 on the back of cost-optimisation initiatives.
