KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 5 — Wesports Holdings Bhd has emerged among the top gainers in early trade today after recording positive earnings performance in the third quarter ended September 30, 2025 (3Q 2025).

Meanwhile, Maybank Investment Bank Bhd remains positive on Westports’ outlook, with resilient container volumes and earnings uplift from the tariff hike effective July 2025.

“Westports’ medium-term growth is supported by robust intra-Asia trade and recent foreign direct investments, while long-term prospects hinge on the Westports 2 expansion and potential merger and acquisition opportunities, as guided by the company.

“We maintain a ‘Buy’ call with a target price of RM5.10 per share,” it said in a note today. — Bernama
