At 11.20am, AZRB was up seven sen to RM1.06 with 3.79 million shares done.

The research house said on Friday, Oct 15 that AZRB remains a key beneficiary of government jobs.

"We see a slew of potential jobs from the government, private sector and overseas in the coming months. There is also potential for recurring income assets via the UIA Hospital and EKVE," it said.
