The gap we flagged has closed
UUE Holdings (0310) Share Price Hits a Record Close — Can It Break Out? (August 2026)
📊 Stocks in this story · tap for live chart & discussion
In July we asked why the AI-energy rally had skipped UUE Holdings. On 12 August the stock closed at 62.5 sen — the highest close in its listed history. So the breakout question has an answer, and it is not the simple one.

Among the grid contractors
the basket moved, not just UUE
Yes — on closes. Not yet on the high.
- It is a record close. 62.5 sen beats the 61.7 sen of 12 July 2024 — the best close in 523 sessions since listing.
- It is not a record high. The listing week printed 64.3 senintraday. Today’s high was 63.5 — still about 2.9% under it.
- The move has volume behind it. Twenty-day average volume is running 1.69× the sixty-day average.
But the whole basket ran
- Six of ten beat 16%. HE Group leads at +25.0%; the FBM KLCI is −0.1% over the same stretch.
- So the July gap closed. Our case was that the theme had rerated everyone except UUE. It has now caught up.
What that costs the original case
- The headline number inverted. In July the order book was bigger than the company: RM536.4m against a RM479m market cap.
- Now it is the other way round. At 10 August: RM515m book against RM538m — 0.96×, and lower again after today’s rise.
- A rising price shrinks the ratio. Mechanically. The book did not shrink much — the market caught up to it.
What we are not saying. A record close is a fact about the past, not a forecast. Nothing here says the 64.3 sen level will or will not go — a stock 81% off its April low can keep going or give it back, and the cheapness that made our July case has largely been priced.

What to watch
- 64.3 senThe only level with history above it. Above there the stock has never traded.
- Late SepQ2 FY27 results. Q1 net profit was RM9.04m against RM1.69m a year earlier — that is the comparison to keep beating.
- OngoingSingapore.The record book was built on Konnection’s cable contracts there, not only on TNB work at home.
- Your sideLive price and five quarters of filings on our UUE stock page.
The two we have written before
- 17 July — the original case. A record order book bigger than its market cap, while peers rerated without it.
- 10 August — the whole field. All ten grid and data-centre contractors compared on book versus market value.
