Rising transportation costs are the main driver of building material price hikes, though contractual structures provide varying degrees of protection.

Cost-plus contracts allow full pass-through, while fixed-price contracts include variation-of-price clauses. Strong orderbooks continue to anchor earnings visibility, supported by government infrastructure projects under the 13th Malaysia Plan and Budget 2026. Mega infrastructure and data centre developments are expected to underpin growth. Top picks include Gamuda (TP: RM5.60), SunCon (TP: RM7.30), and MCement (TP: RM10.00).
