More corrective surgeries to lift Optimax’s earnings

Maybank IB Research said Optimax also stands to benefit from the completion of the Johor Baru–Singapore Rapid Transit System.

PETALING JAYA: Optimax Holdings Bhd’s earnings are expected to recover this year, on the back of continued growth in total surgery numbers, normalisation of pre-operation costs, as well as the completion of a transit system linking Johor and Singapore.

Maybank Investment Bank Research (Maybank IB Research) said that the eye specialist services provider’s new ambulatory care centres (ACC) in Petaling Jaya, Sabah and Cambodia, which were expected to be fully operational in the second half of 2024, would boost surgery capacity in line with higher demand for eye-care in Malaysia.
