Kuala Lumpur, 27 October 2026 – Malaysia’s technology shares outperformed on Tuesday after artificial-intelligence company Anthropic filed for a stock-market listing. The Bursa Malaysia Technology Index, which tracks more than 50 sector counters, rose by over 2%, while ViTrox Corp Bhd gained 0.9% to RM10.82.
