PETALING JAYA: RHB Research is maintaining its “overweight” call on the construction sector, highlighting resilient earnings and robust job flows, particularly from data centre (DC) developments and water infrastructure, alongside other infrastructure projects.
“Out of the 11 companies under our coverage that reported results between February and March (mostly for financial year 2024), five were in line, three exceeded expectations, and three missed,” it said, noting that even the underperformers – mainly small to mid-cap contractors – continued to show earnings growth.
