[KUALA LUMPUR] Bursa Malaysia is emerging as a key listing venue for Singapore-based companies, even as the bourse operator reported a 19.3 per cent year-on-year (yoy) drop in net profit to RM125.5 million (S$37.8 million) for the first half of 2025.
The exchange is seeing rising interest from Singapore companies seeking secondary or dual listings, buoyed by its strong performance in the Asean initial public offering (IPO) market.
These developments come despite weaker overall trading volumes that have weighed on Bursa’s financial performance.
