Gamuda Berhad's share price edged up in early trading today, gaining 0.2% to RM4.79. Over the past five trading days, the stock has climbed 3.9%, adding 18 sen to its value.

The company has been a standout performer on Bursa Malaysia, consistently drawing investor interest throughout the year thanks to its robust earnings and strong operational performance. On a year-to-date basis, Gamuda's share price has surged by more than 100%, or RM2.49, underscoring its impressive growth trajectory.

The positive momentum follows Gamuda's announcement yesterday of its RM424 million acquisition of 389 acres of industrial land in Port Dickson. The land will be developed into a cloud data center infrastructure, marking a significant milestone for the group due to the scale and strategic importance of the project.

Investors view the acquisition as a forward-looking move that positions Gamuda to capitalise on the growing demand for digital infrastructure, further solidifying its reputation as one of the top-performing stocks on the KLSE.
