KUALA LUMPUR: Stocks that could be seeing increased investor interest on Monday include Sapura Energy , Hibiscus Petroleum, Toyo Ventures, Uni Wall APS and Muhibbah Engineering, according to JF Apex Research.

       Sapura Energy has decided to withdraw from the Yunlin offshore wind farm installation project in Taiwan, following a "material breach of contract".

       Hibiscus Petroleum's associate company in Australia, 3D Oil Ltd (TDO), has been awarded a VIC/P79 exploration permit in Australia.

       Caely hopes to set up a joint-venture in Indonesia this year to increase its production capacity to cater to the growing global demand for lingerie.

       Trading in the securities of Toyo Ventures will not be suspended on Feb 10, as the company managed to submit its annual report for its FY21 to Bursa Malaysia on Monday (Jan 31).

       Uni Wall APS has signed a memorandum of collaboration with Singapore-based Sun Solutino Pte Ltd to jointly develop certain parts of Malaysia Vision Valley 2.0 (MVV 2.0).

       The group signed the MoU via its 80%-owned NS Aero City Sdn Bhd. Sun Solutino is principally involved in the generation of electricity by other sources (such as solar power and biofuels), with transmission, distribution and sale of electricity as its secondary activity.

       The Federal Court has given its nod for Muhibbah Engineering to proceed with a judicial review of the notice of additional tax assessments for a sum of RM23 million that was issued by the Inland Revenue Board of Malaysia in May last year.

       Meanwhile, JF Apex Research expects the FBM KLCI to trade sideways above the support of 1,500 points following mixed performances on Wall Street.

       The US market was mixed on Friday with the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropping while the S&P500 and Nasdaq surged amid a stronger jobs report, higher bond yields and corporate earnings.

       In Europe, stocks declined after the European Central Bank kept interest rates unchanged while the Bank of England raised rates.
