Analysts: Few bright spots in earnings season


Two FBM KLCI component stocks under AmInvestment Bank’s coverage have exceeded the research house’s projections for the first quarter of 2020, namely, Petronas Gas and Petronas Chemicals.

PETALING JAYA: The bulk of the corporate earnings reported for the first quarter of this year do not look favourable to-date and this effect is expected to be extended, said analysts.

Kenanga Research highlighted that of the 84 earnings announcement thus far, earnings downgrades overwhelmed upgrades by a ratio of 4:1.
