Upsides in store for Bursa in event of early election

KUALA LUMPUR: Investors could consider positioning themselves in Bursa Malaysia Bhd given the heightened probability of a general election over the horizon, said Hong Leong Investment Bank (HLIB) research.

The research firm, which noted that the stock exchange operator's 1Q22 earnings prospects will likely be sequentially unexciting, believes Bursa could be a beneficiary of an early GE15.
