Kuala Lumpur
THE shares of Westports Holdings leapt over 4 per cent to RM3.42 apiece on Tuesday, after CIMB released a report on the same day predicting that the stock was due for a re-rating on the back of three "explosive" catalysts.
The three kickers cited by the investment bank: the start of the Ocean Three alliance; a renewal of the port operator's Investment Tax Allowance (ITA), and government approval to raise port tariffs.
