Impact of Trump tariffs on Malaysian steel makers should be much smaller compared to Korean
steel makers.

The market is not bearish, but still unstable, so buying stable stocks like Kesm is a good choice.

Will the rally in emerging markets continue? | http://www.klsescreener.com/v2/news/view/352043

“As other markets, particularly the US, become more expensive, we expect investors to increasingly consider global opportunities, particularly in emerging markets, given the structural positive growth prospects and benign fundamentals.

“More broadly, we expect technology names to maintain their outperformance, although we think the market will sharpen its focus between the sub-sectors with idiosyncratic risks in mind this year,” he says.

KESM is principally involved in specialized electronic manufacturing activities. More specifically, the company is engaged in providing burn-in services. The company has business dealings with virtually all the American semiconductor manufacturers.

That's why the stock price has more to do with US semiconductor index than other Malaysian semicoinductor stocks do.
