The stock saw some 4.83 million shares traded, exceeding its 200-day average volume of 665,561 shares.

MFM saw its net profit for the first quarter ended March 31, 2017 (1QFY17) grew 41.3% to RM24.91 million from RM17.63 million a year ago, due to improved profit margins in its flour and poultry businesses.
