Biotech, T7 Global, Uzma and Yinson, said Apex Research.
Jiankun International Bhd’s single largest shareholder Advance Information Marketing Bhd (AIM) has ceased to be its substantial shareholder due to the dilution of shareholding arising from Jiankun’s private placement exercise.

Meanwhile, Apex said the FBM KLCI could continue to take a breather with some profit-taking activities in tandem with a lack of momentum from Wall Street and consolidate below the resistance of 1,500 points.
It said the US market has lack of momentum as a string of corporate earnings ran the gamut from downbeat to dismal, reviving worries over the economic impact of the U.S. Federal Reserve's restrictive policy.
Earlier, European markets closed lower following a loss in the previous session, despite data showing improved business sentiment in Germany and an uptick in eurozone services and manufacturing activity.
