KUALA LUMPUR, June 19 (Bernama) -- Pharmaniaga Bhd emerged as among the most active stocks in early trade today on news that the group would continue to stay in the black for the financial year ending Dec 31, 2025 (FY2025) after making a turnaround last year. 

As at 10.19 am, Pharmaniaga's share price was 6.9 per cent, or 1.5 sen higher at 23 sen, with 4.34 million shares traded.
