KUALA LUMPUR (May 17): Malaysia’s economic growth accelerated faster than expected in the first three months of 2024, thanks to higher household spending, stronger investment activities, improvement in labour market conditions, and higher exports and tourist arrivals.

Gross domestic product grew 4.2% year-on-year (y-o-y) in January-March 2024 when compared to the same period in 2023, Bank Negara Malaysia announced on Friday. The reading is higher than the median estimate of 3.9% y-o-y growth in Bloomberg's survey of economists.

We maintain our view that the FBMKLCI is in a new major bull cycle that started in March 2020, after witnessing a downcycle from July 2014 to March 2020. Like previous upcycle that started from October 2008 low of 801.27 and ended higher at 1896.23 in July 2014, we believe the FBMKLCI is in midway of another major upcycle that will propel the benchmark index to a new high (historical high is 1,896.23 and it is possible to rise beyond 2,000 points) before the next general election in 2027. Major catalysts will be the structural reforms that will improve the nation’s financial standing, the huge inflow of foreign direct investments in growth sectors, resilient domestic spending aided by job security and policy measures, and strong corporate earnings growth. These factors should attract greater foreign participation as the US rate cut possibilities rise as the current foreign shareholding of 19.6% is low compared to an average 23.2% between 2014 and 2019 before volatile domestic political conditions eroded investor confidence.

Rakuten Trade Sdn Bhd vice-president of equity research Thong Pak Leng noted that the key regional indices ended mostly higher, buoyed by the improved US labour market conditions, a weakened dollar and renewed global rate cut optimism.

On the home front, he said the long-term outlook remains positive, driven by strong corporate earnings, cheap valuations, and substantial support from foreign investors.

“While the benchmark index is in a consolidation phase following recent gains, we consider this a positive correction.

“It enables the market to absorb the recent uptrend, presenting an advantageous opportunity for stock accumulation at reduced levels,” he noted.

Very prudent bank, no gift for AGM.

yes, please buy to support, now 4.16, buy, buy, buy....

Yes, am now monitoring the "other one"......not free just now,

Those who have bought PBB at its peak two years ago at 4.7+ are also licking their wounds :p

Getting volatile leh, till don't know what price to Q.... :p

KUALA LUMPUR (May 7): CIMB Group Holdings Bhd, Malaysia’s second-largest bank by assets

......confirmed what I posted earlier, CIMB is No.2 by assets.....

I think most banks 1Q report should be quite good...

It's good to practice like CIMB to have pre close analyst briefying....

https://theedgemalaysia.com/node/710583

Where is pang72?
still waiting to bargain hunting the "other one" ? :p

https://theedgemalaysia.com/node/710558

The gains appear sustainable and on track to hit 1,755 by the end of this year, CGS International said.

For strategy, CGS likes banks, construction, utilities, real estate investment trusts, conglomerates, healthcare and telecoms, he added.

Wow...the "other one" rocket liao...
....don't miss the boat ya, this is only "starting" :p

Rakuten Trade Sdn Bhd equity research vice-president Thong Pak Leng said he expects buying activities to continue with the upswing in investor sentiment, supported by a steady and strong inflow of foreign funds into the region.

“The increasing daily trading volume signifies a growing appetite for the market and the benchmark index is charging towards the 1,600 psychological level.

Echoing the sentiment, UOB Kay Hian Wealth Advisors’ designated portfolio manager and head of wealth, research and advisory, Sedek Jantan also said the index may continue its upward trajectory, potentially breaching the psychological barrier of 1,600.

“The KLCI has not yet reached overbought levels, indicating the market is not excessively heated, and there is room for further ascent,” he said.

Even PBB has dropped to current 4.10, its' PE is still 12 times, Dividend yield only 4.62% and its' NTA only 2.82.

So, high price is expensive or low price is cheap??
haha :p

@jeffchan1901

CIMB - EPS 65.46 sen - NTA 6.4066 - Dividend 36 + (special) 7 sen.......PE 10.13

MBB - EPS 77.55 sen - NTA 7.8474 - Dividend 60 sen........PE 12.62

Do the Maths, even price is high, it is still not expensive (comparable with the top 2 valuation)

Yes, one for stability and high yield...
...the other for potential strong capital gain....

I am also in the process of balancing MBB & CIMB :p

Welcome to the Club

Some up, some down.
Switching going on ??

My top 2, both sui sui :p

@Pinky, CIMB is currently cheaper than MBB, lower PE n PB, but its dividend yield is also slightly lower. It seems to have better growth potential. Its CASA is growing stronger than MBB and is expecting NIM growth of about 5 basis point while MBB is expecting a flat or slightly lower NIM for this year

Investors scour the globe for shelter as Wall Street shakes.

Global investors are eyeing European and emerging market assets to protect themselves from further turbulence in US stocks and bonds as stubborn inflation causes bets on the timing of Federal Reserve (Fed) interest rate cuts to be revised.

"Diversification will be a lot more important going forward,"

Investors said the Stoxx appealed because it is stacked with companies in so-called value sectors such as banking and energy which benefit from steady global growth but tend not to suffer when borrowing costs rise.

The general macro outlook is supportive for a cheap, cyclical value market."

Banks shares globally, from US to Singapore are rallying......
....Malaysia normally follows late....
....if/when FF returns, Banks should fly :)

Big Banks all sui sui :)

Standard Chartered
posted on Thursday a 5.5% rise in its first-quarter pretax profit, beating estimates, as higher interest rates bolstered earnings at the emerging markets-focused lender.

StanChart, which earns most of its revenue in Asia, said statutory pretax profit in the quarter was $1.91 billion. That compared with $1.81 billion a year earlier and the $1.39 billion average of 13 analyst estimates compiled by the bank.

Singapore biggest bank is doing well in 1Q, local bank with substantial exposure there should also benefit.....
