PETALING JAYA: The current top 30 blue chips on the FBM KLCI will remain unchanged for the June 2026 review.
Based on MBSB Research estimates, MR DIY Group (M) Bhd
carries the highest risk of removal, hovering at the 35th spot.
“Trailing behind it is KPJ Healthcare Bhd, which is only three sen away from overtaking it.
“MR DIY will face deletion if it drops to 36th or below.
“Should that happen, United Plantations Bhd would be the likely replacement,” MBSB Research said.
It is about two months away from the cut-off date for the upcoming semi-annual review.
It said Sunway Healthcare Holdings Bhd (SunMed) officially entered the FBM KLCI yesterday, replacing QL Resources Bhd which has been relegated to the FBM70.
“This is one of the instances that takes place out of the usual review period, following SunMed’s recent listing,” said MBSB Research.
As it is considered a split/demerger from an index constituent company (Sunway Bhd), it qualified for immediate index inclusion, provided its market capitalisation is larger than the smallest existing KLCI constituent.
SunMed rose to the 26th spot in terms of market capitalisation on its first trading day on March 18, 2026, after its share price grew plus 27.6% to RM1.85 a share.
“This pushes QL Resources out of the barometer index, as it slid to the 37th spot that day. We estimate that SunMed carries a weightage of 0.63% in the FBM KLCI,” MBSB Research said.
Based on its estimates, IOI Corp Bhd was the only index constituent that did not meet the liquidity requirements for the months of June 2025 (0.036%), July 2025 (0.029%) and August 2025 (0.035%).
The index provider’s ground rules require existing constituents to pass at least eight out of 12 months with a monthly median turnover of at least 0.04%.
“IOI Corp can afford to fail only one more month of liquidity test before being at risk of deletion.
“Meanwhile, no existing constituents have risen or fallen to the ranking thresholds based on market capitalisation at this juncture,” it said.
A security will only be inserted at a periodic review if it rises to 25th or above, while a deletion will happen if a security falls to 36th or below.
“Based on our estimates on the top 40 stocks as of Tuesday, all of them met the free float requirements of more than 15%.
“Apart from IOI Corp, there are another two non-constituents that failed to meet the liquidity requirements, namely Hong Leong Financial Group Bhd and KLCCP Stapled Group,” it added.
