Session 1 • Consumer and Healthcare Outlook: Defensive Plays To Gain Traction Amid Downturn?
Presented by Philip Wong, Research Analyst, UOB Kay Hian

The FBMKLCI has suffered a significant 8.7% drop this year, the largest in recent memory. A widespread sell-off, impacting even large-cap stocks, is fueled by rising global tensions and trade uncertainties. Investors are increasingly cautious, seeking safety in defensive positions. In this challenging environment, the consumer and healthcare sectors stand out as resilient havens, offering attractive defensive qualities and stable earnings prospects. This webinar will provide a detailed market overview, examining potential risks and rewards, identifying factors that could influence stock valuations, and offering specific stock selection strategies within the resilient consumer and healthcare sectors.

Session 2 • Downturn Deepens, But Selective Opportunities Emerge
Presented by Desmond Chong, Head of Research, UOB Kay Hian

After a brutal 5.2% plunge in January—the sharpest monthly drop in 30 years—the FBMKLCI remains on a downward trajectory, with broad-based sell-offs extending beyond the small-midcap space. Escalating geopolitical tensions and tariff uncertainties continue to dictate market sentiment, prompting investors to adopt a defensive stance as risk-off positioning intensifies. That being said, not all is doom and gloom as we see selective sectors continue to offer compelling risk-reward opportunities.
