Apex Securities Bhd maintains an Overweight rating on the sector, citing the award of the Penang Light Rail Transit (LRT) contract package and the finalisation of the Johor Bahru East Coast Rail Transit (E-ART) project as key drivers. Other supporting factors include stabilising input costs, improving property activity, and continued investment in hyperscale data centres.",
