AAX的业绩表现虽然好。但是股价升到RM0.44,就掉到RM0.405。2018年2月初,马股随着美股而大跌反弹,好业绩并不会让股价大升。

KUALA LUMPUR
(Feb 22): Low-cost long-haul carrier AirAsia X Bhd’s (AAX) co-founder and
co-group CEO Tan Sri Tony Fernandes hailed the carrier’s earnings for the
financial year ended Dec 31, 2017.
In a follow-up to his earlier

“Growth again. Strong

AAX’s net profit more than
