VITROX 0097 VITROX CORPORATION BERHAD surges to two-year high post-bonus issue, after being associated with Nvidia and Foxconn
KUALA LUMPUR (June 11): Shares of ViTrox Corp Bhd (KL:VITROX) climbed as much as 19% on Tuesday, extending a rally after being associated with Nvidia Corp and Foxconn Industrial Internet Co Ltd.
By market close on Tuesday, ViTrox pared some gains to settle at RM4.85, up 60 sen or 14%, giving it a market capitalisation of RM9.17 billion.
The latest closing price was the stock’s highest since Jan 7, 2022, after adjusting for ViTrox’s one-for-one bonus issue, which went ex on Monday (June 10).

"ViTrox will continue to work hand-in-hand with all industry players towards making a net-positive impact on the world,” ViTrox said in a Facebook post last Friday (June 7).
