| The Edge Top Picks for 2023 | WATCHLIST | 10 | The year 2022 could be akin to a perfect storm that gathered to punish equities performance last year. Stocks momentum in Bursa Malaysia was impacted by higher-than-ever inflation driven by slew of interest rate hikes by both the US Federal Reserve and Bank Negara Malaysia.
The FBM KLCI ended on Dec 30, 2022 with a decline of 3.46% from Jan 3, 2022. Several indices beat the benchmark’s performance in the same period including the Bursa Malaysia Finance Index (5.68%), the Energy Index (10.27%) a ... |
| UOBKayHian Top Picks for 1H 2023 | WATCHLIST | 9 | Overall, we expect 2023 to be a warmer and less turbulent year for Malaysian equities, which contrasts with expectations for a sharply lower GDP growth. As the 15th General Election (GE15) qualms subside, Malaysian equities have re-joined global equities’ uptrend (since Oct 22) that is anticipated to continue through part of 1Q23. As hoped, the abating concerns of a runaway US core inflation have transitioned to expectations for moderation of and pause to the US Fed’s rate hikes in 1Q23, and inv ... |
| HongLeong Investment Bank's Top Picks for 2023 | WATCHLIST | 12 | With diminishing base effect and weaker external scene, we project Malaysia’s GDP to moderate to +4.0% in 2023.
Existing market headwinds are subsiding as FFR-OPR spreads should soon peak, ringgit is recovering, supply chains are improving, labour woes are easing and the political impasse resolved.
Granted, a recession in the developed West and its contagion is the key risk, but there could be cushioning from China’s likely reopening.
In any case, Malaysia is now on a much stronger footing ... |
| CGSCIMB's Small-cap picks for 2023 | WATCHLIST | 9 | 2023F is likely to be another challenging year as Malaysian corporates adjust to the new policy landscape, rising costs and slower global growth.
We expect most of the pessimism on the global economy to be priced in by 1H23F and the market to perform better in 2H23F.
Potential bright spots are return of foreign funds, M&A activities/synergies, a stable government, and clarity on the new government policies.
We lower our end-2022F KLCI target to 1,510 points and expect KLCI to return 8% in ... |

| AmInvestment Bank's ESG Champions for 2023 | WATCHLIST | 11 | We maintain base-case end-2023 FBMKLCI target at 1,630, pegged to 0.5 standard deviation below its 5-year median (SDB5YM), which is supported by Malaysia’s relatively stronger economic outlook and our economist’s strengthening MYR expectation to RM3.95-RM4.00/US$ next year. Although Malaysia’s 2023 GDP growth is expected to taper down to 4.5% from 8.5%-9% in 2022, this remains better than recessionary prospects in US and Europe with expectations for a reset in US interest rate trajectory in 2H20 ... |

| PublicInvest's Top Picks for 1H 2023 | WATCHLIST | 9 | We are cautious, but we are not pessimistic. The same issues that had weighed in 2022 will continue to be prevalent in 2023, though to varying (and perhaps lessening) extents. While we are not as pessimistic of 2023, we do expect challenges to persist in 1H 2023 and as such see market conditions to be volatile and moderately weak as various factors play out, though certain others could jump-start optimism in the local bourse.
In step with our ongoing preference for stocks likely to see multi-ye ... |
| Maybank IB Research's Top Picks for 2023 | WATCHLIST | 28 | Where 2022 was roundly challenging in terms of macro, earnings and politics, 2023 promises fairer weather.
GDP growth will decelerate but to a still-robust +4% (2022E: +8%), with the worst of inflation and interest rate headwinds now past.
KLCI earnings growth is conversely set to accelerate to the mid-to-high teens as the market moves beyond 2022’s twin drags of the one-off Cukai Makmur (CM) tax and Gloves sector earnings collapse.
Further, the general elections (GE15) ultimately yielded ... |

| The Edge 10 stocks brokers say to buy in 2022 | WATCHLIST | 10 | After a tumultuous 2020 following an unprecedented pandemic outbreak, the year 2021 saw continued volatility amid various headwinds, chief of which was still the seemingly endless pandemic threat, which saw the emergence of new variants that sent cases surging and brought back strict lockdown measures.
In Malaysia, there were also political uncertainties to contend with, as well as the bout of "once in 100 years" massive floods that came towards the year's tail end.

| The Star Fund Managers' Stock Pick for Year 2022 | WATCHLIST | 9 | THE Malaysian stock market has had a rocky performance so far this year.
Weighed by domestic political concerns and Covid-19 woes, Bursa Malaysia has turned out to be one of the worst-performing bourses in Asia year to date, with the benchmark FBM KLCI having lost about 7% since the start of 2021.
The local equity markets could see a more challenging year in 2022, with the US Federal Reserve scaling back its easy monetary policy while increasing interest rates as inflation continues to surge.

| Affin Hwang IB Research's Top Picks for 2022 | WATCHLIST | 10 | Amidst weaker corporate earnings growth and tightening of liquidity, we downgrade KLCI to Neutral. Introduce 2022 KLCI year end target of 1621
Political uncertainty and Covid-19 will be a key overhang on the market, but increased scrutiny on ESG also suggests valuation re-rating is challenging

| CGSCIMB Research's Top Picks for 2022 | WATCHLIST | 28 | Every dark cloud has a silver lining
We expect 2022 to be a more challenging year for the market due to potential headwinds in the form of policy, corporate earnings and political risks.
However, downside could be capped by stronger economic growth, additional liquidity available for large institutional funds and undemanding valuations.
We lower our end-2022F KLCI target to 1,612 points and maintain Hong Leong Bank, Inari and QL Resources as our top three stock picks. |
| Hong Leong Research's Top Picks for 2022 | WATCHLIST | 12 | With a vastly improved Covid-19 situation, Malaysia’s economic reopening is near full swing. We forecast 2022 GDP at +5.5% and upward normalisation in OPR from 4Q onwards.
Market performance may be partly detached from the broader economy as a tug of war manifests between reopening and Budget
2022’s “market unfriendly” measures.
Still, there could be an upside push to the market if GE15 is called. We advocate a more trading oriented approach into
next year with a “buy on weakness” range at 1 ... |
| RHB Research's Top Picks for 2022 | WATCHLIST | 12 | We believe economic recovery has been priced in to a large extent.
Macroeconomic headwinds and a widespread resurgence of COVID-19, coupled with the emergence of the Omicron variant will be a wildcard for markets.
We also see policy and regulatory risks remaining elevated, given that the lack of political will to implement a holistic reform of public sector finances is already raising the spectre of higher taxes going forward.
Forward valuations are not especially compelling, with the marke ... |
| Maybank IB Research's Top Picks for 2022 | WATCHLIST | 29 | We forecast KLCI earnings to contract again in 2022 after the rebound in 2021 (2020/2021F/2022F: -13.9%/+39.7%/-7.4%; if ex-glove stocks, adjusted 2021F/2022F: +36.8/+5.6% YoY). End-2022 KLCI target is 1,710 (15x fwd. earnings, -0.5 SD vs. mean), reflecting expected double-digit earnings rebound in 2023E.

The world went into real uncharted territories in 2020, starting with a pandemic no one had foreseen, and one the world had not experienced in decades. And while the subsequent slump in the equity markets was expected, the wild surge upwards as bulls dominated — including in Bursa Malaysia — was rather not, especially with the yet-to-dissipate shadows cast by the coronavirus.
Moving forward, the availability of vaccines raises optimism ... |
| AFFIN’s Top Calls for 2021 | WATCHLIST | 10 | KLCI’s relative outperformance and political uncertainty suggest limited catalysts for fund inflows in 2021. Upside may also be capped by limited inflows from EPF
Year of the Bull may, however, be favourable to retail investors as they switch out of low interest-rate instruments. Small-mid caps likely to be in favour, with our picks being MTAG, Aeon Credit, VSI, Scientex and Inari

| Maybank IB Research's Top Picks for 2021 | WATCHLIST | 28 | We expect the Malaysian economy to grow +5.1% in 2021 after the 5.4% contraction in 2020. But there are speed bumps on the road to recovery as Malaysia is going through its third wave of COVID 19 infections, thus the re imposition of restrictions. This necessitates continued monetary and fiscal stimulus, including BNM keeping the record low OPR and Government maintaining large deficit spending in 2021.
Availability of COVID 19 vaccines starting 1Q 2021 is an extra stimulus for the economy, plus ... |
| MIDF's Top Picks for 2021 | WATCHLIST | 10 | Malaysia’s GDP is expected to rebound in 2021, growing by +7%yoy, based on the recovery seen so far and the prospect of a successful containment of Covid-19 in the country and key trading partners. Inflation is anticipated to be at +2.2%yoy.
We also expect commodity based sectors to see an improvement. We forecast Brent crude oil price to average at USD 51.0/barrel and crude palm oil at RM2700/MT.
With the economy expected to recover and inflationary pressure to return, we expects Bank Negara ... |
| RHB Investment’s Top Picks for 2021 | WATCHLIST | 13 | Despite heightened macroeconomic risks, we believe the market will continue to price in a post-pandemic scenario. We remain constructive on the market outlook for 2021, on the back of supportive monetary conditions, fiscal initiatives and vaccine mass availability after mid-2021 that will hasten the return to normality. Ample liquidity implies shallow market corrections as investors look to reposition at lower levels. Conversely, the propensity for investors to take profit on sharp rallies will ... |
| Hong Leong Investment’s Top Picks for 2021 | WATCHLIST | 12 | While we are optimistic on a vaccine driven recovery in 2021, the path to normalcy will likely be gradual; we estimate that Malaysia will achieve an immunisation rate of 20% by end-2021. Our 2021 GDP forecast of 6.0% is a tad lower than MoF’s 6.5-7.5%. While the market may have an optimism bias next year, inevitable hiccups will bring volatility along this recovery path. We project KLCI’s core earnings to rebound +20.8% in 2021 (2020: -17.4%). Our end-2021 KLCI target of 1,780 is based on 19.3x ... |
| TA Securitie's Top Picks for 2021 | WATCHLIST | 20 | Risk on attitude will underscore the stronger performance of FBMKLCI in 2021, driven by
1) ample liquidity, which is supported by loose monetary policy and expansionary fiscal spending,
2) discovery of effective Covid-19 vaccines,
3) multilateral approach in global trade and key policies that affect the world subsequent to Joe Biden’s victory in the US,
4) net inflow of foreign funds post active selling in the last three years,
5) stronger domestic economy and corporate earnings and
6) rec ... |
| CGS CIMB’s Top Picks for 2021 | WATCHLIST | 26 | We expect 2021 to be a better year for the market as the strong rebound in corporate earnings is set to converge with a sea of ample liquidity.

| The Edge Stock Picks for Year 2020 1H | WATCHLIST | 10 | The start of 2020 was not an encouraging one for the local stock market. Though it closed above the psychological 1,600 level on the first day of trading at 1,602.5, it saw a sharp dip last Wednesday amid growing US-Iran tensions, and ended last Friday at 1,591.46. The general sentiment is definitely cautious, what more after the Malaysian stock exchange ended the previous year being one of the worst-performing bourses in Asia. That, too, was after a near 11% contraction in the local stock marke ... |

| The Star Fund Managers' Stock Pick for Year 2020 | WATCHLIST | 20 | BURSA MALAYSIA has been one of the worst performing bourses in Asia last year.
Throughout 2019, the FBM KLCI has been lacklustre with investors adopting a “wait-and-see attitude” following the absence of clear growth catalysts for the country.
Not surprisingly, as of Dec 31, the FBM KLCI was down 4.73% on a year-to-date basis.
Initially, Malaysians were filled with hope when Pakatan Harapan won the general election in May 2018. However, some 18 months later, sentiment on the local bourse rema ... |

We project an end-2020 FBM KLCI target of 1,670pts based on 17.5x our 2020F earnings projection (+7.5%), which is still at a 0.5x multiple discount to its 5-year historical average of about 18x, largely to reflect the less active participation (as compared to the recent past) of both foreign and local institutional investors in the market.

Positive inflection in KLCI-relevant data points such as earnings growth, credit expansion, property sector activity and stimulus would provide the base for a sentiment shift. However, for a sustained market uptrend ... |

Yet it is trading at P/E of I SD expensive owing to negative earnings momentum and support from large local institutions. Without public driven expenditure growth (net drag of2.4ppt of GDP in Budget 2020), the growth engine lies in the private sector, which is awaiting public policy clarity and better execution (approved FDis conversion may be an upside risk). Lack of external sector visibility weighs on the local capex cycle too. FTSE Russell WGBI Index review ... |
| Hong Leong Investment Bank's Top Picks for 2019 | WATCHLIST | 10 | The cut in economic targets by the Govt reflects the challenges Malaysia faces as it balances between growth and fiscal prudence against an external backdrop of lower oil price and the US-China trade war. MoF’s 2019 GDP target of 4.9% is a Herculean task and our forecast is lower at 4.6%. Despite a flattish year for earnings in 2018 (-0.1%), growth in 2019 will remain uninspiring at 3.3%, below its post GFC CAGR of 7%. Still, we believe there are key themes to eyeball for 2019: East Malaysia, tr ... |

In Malaysia, the FBM KLCI was down 5.91% but does that mean that local stocks are not worth a look?
On the contrary, the slide in prices has made stock-picking more appealing. In some cases, for the short-term, but in most cases, for the longer-term.

| Kenanga's Top Picks for Year 2019 | WATCHLIST | 10 | In a nutshell, our market view remains pretty much unchanged.
The domestic economic growth is expected to be decent at 4.7% in 2019 while big caps’ FY18E/FY19E earnings growth rates are estimated at 0.7%/6.9%.
Nonetheless, we believe the local market may still remain stuck in a range-bound mode until significant rerating catalysts are seen. While the downside could be cushioned, upside is uninspiring with our end-2019 Index Target pegged at 1,775, implying FY18E/FY19E PERs of 16.9x/15.8x.

| CIMB’s Stock Picks for 2019 | WATCHLIST | 32 | We project 2019 to be a challenging and volatile year for the equity market as corporates come to terms with the new policy and political landscape post-general elections (GE14), as well as adjust to slower global growth, tighter monetary policies and the on-going US-China trade tensions.
Our stock picks for 2019 are based on the following six themes:
(1) M&A theme: Star, Astro and Axiata.
(2) US-China trade war: MPI, Unisem and Genting Plantations
(3) GLC reform: BIMB, Axiata, RHB, Sime ... |

| The Star Writers' Stock Pick 2018 | WATCHLIST | 5 | The year 2017 was in general a great one for Bursa Malaysia.
The benchmark FBM KLCI was up 9.5% on a year-to-date basis, and stocks across most sectors powered up. The technology sector continued to outperform, supported by expanding earnings and strong news flow, while oil and gas stocks also inched up as oil prices recovered to the US$60 level.
So with stocks now trading at higher valuations, getting that undervalued stock pick is becoming harder. What do we buy under the uncertain environme ... |

| The Edge Financial Daily's Top 10 Stock Picks for Year 2018 | WATCHLIST | 10 | The Edge Financial Daily's picks are based on some of the investment themes that fund managers are exploring in 2018. These themes include the turnaround of the badly hit oil and gas industry where many companies' share prices have tumbled to all-time lows; better corporate earnings growth amid a synchronised global economy recovery; interest rate hikes globally; and a strengthening ringgit. Meanwhile, the e-commerce boom that leads to stronger demand for logistic services and improved c ... |
| RHB's Top Picks for Year 2018 | WATCHLIST | 14 | The FBM KLCI's recent underperformance reflects its reversion to the mean, fulfilling its reputation as a low beta market. The market's disconnection to macroeconomic realities from a combination of various structural issues cannot be completely resolved. However, as headwinds dissipate post-election - a stronger MYR, higher oil prices, plus broadening of the spillover from the robust external sector kicking in to lift sentiment and corporate earnings - we expect investors to adopt a m ... |
| Maybank IB Research's Top Buy Picks for Year 2018 | WATCHLIST | 9 | We expect global growth momentum to be sustained in 2018, expanding at +3.6%, the same pace as 2017, on the back of synchronized expansions of G3 economies, which will fuel world trade growth. This, in turn, is positive for ASEAN economies as we see spillover to domestic demand from export recovery.
A key macroeconomic theme is the outlook of "benign normalization and unsynchronized unwinding" in major central banks' monetary policies. Key risks are inflation and financial stability ... |

We expect these concerns to be priced-in in 1H18, and the market should improve in 2H18 due to stronger foreign fund flows, better corporate earnings, and IPO activities.

| AmInvestment Bank's Top Buy Stock Picks 2018 | WATCHLIST | 10 | We maintain our end-2018 FBM KLCI Index target of 1,900pts based on 17.5x 2018F earnings. This is at a 1x multiple premium to the 5-year historical average of about 16.5x, which we believe is justifiable based on the cyclical upturn in corporate earnings, as reflected in an 8.2% growth in FBM KLCI earnings in 2018F (on the heels of a 3.8% growth in 2017F).
We are positive on the outlook for the local equity market in 2018. We believe the major underperformance of the local equity market vs. its ... |
| TA Securities' Top Buy Stock Picks 2018 | WATCHLIST | 14 | 2018 is expected to be a mixed bag with the impending 14th GE driving up the FBMKLCI in the 1H18 before ending the year at 1,835, based on 16x CY19 EPS. On the local front, the resilient economy, corporate earnings recovery, crude oil price stability and FBMKLCI’s undemanding valuation vis-à-vis regional peers are valid drivers for the equity market. A BN victory would be another plus factor to hold up market sentiment momentarily on continuity in policy matters. Any rally could fizzle out in th ... |
| UOB's Top Picks for 2018 | WATCHLIST | 10 | Sieving Out The Gems
While Malaysian equities should outperform in 1Q18, prospects would be less shiny post general election which is widely expected to be held in Mar-Apr 18. Domestically, apart from an uncertain political landscape, the firm headline economic indicators are still not translating into strong domestic consumption and corporate earnings growth. We advocate a trading-oriented and mid-to-large cap biased investment strategy for 1Q18, with focus on mega infrastructure, E&E, tou ... |

We remain Positive on the FBMKLCI as we believe that there is further room for global equity markets to rally. The FBMKLCI, which has lagged behind, should finally play catch up. Low foreign ownership in the equity market, a still undervalued Ringgit, the return of corporate earnings growth and attractive valuations form the basis of our thesis for stronger returns on the FBMKLCI in 2018. Improving consumer and business sentiment and a pre-election rally could ... |
| The Edge Financial Daily's Top 10 Stock Picks for Year 2017 | WATCHLIST | 10 | While uncertainties in the market are certain, this has not stopped investors and fund managers from attempting the absurd in order to hit a "home run" in their stock picks. One of the key themes that will come into play in 2017 will be the US President-elect Donald Trump's policies as well as a possible increase in the pace of rate hikes by the US Federal Reserve. This would lead to a stronger US dollar that could benefit some of the export players.

| RHB's Top Picks for Year 2017 | WATCHLIST | 15 | Escalating external risks have forced us to reconsider our more positive outlook in the preceding quarter’s strategy report. Uncertainty over US policies and their impact on growth, interest rates, USD strength and direction of portfolio flows are weighing on EM sentiment and creating volatility in the forex markets. Hopes that the US economy would provide a lift to global growth are not assured, while the growing wave of antiestablishment sentiment could put the EU in danger of disintegrati ... |
| PublicInvest Research's Top Picks for Year 2017 | WATCHLIST | 9 | The one major push factor to drive market participants out in droves at this point or even in the foreseeable future is the further weakening of the Ringgit, but which would only affect foreign investors specifically. Domestic investors flush with cash should be primed for re-entry. While still early days in assessing the potential impact of President-elect Trump’s action plans and ramifications on the rest of the world, we are cautiously optimistic that level heads will prevail.

| Maybank IB Research's Top Buy Picks for Year 2017 | WATCHLIST | 10 | We expect a mild pick-up in Malaysia’s growth as real GDP is expected to be at +4.4% in 2017 (2016E: +4.2%), underpinned by sustained consumer spending growth momentum, stronger growth in investments on progress of existing and rollout of new major infrastructure and investment projects, and the rebound in government consumption expenditure. The wild card is external trade due to the risk on US-China trade relation, although the rise in crude oil price in particular and the firming of commodity ... |
| Affin Hwang Capital's Top Calls for Year 2017 | WATCHLIST | 18 | Major financial markets in Malaysia have been affected by global portfolio rebalancing in the aftermath of the US Presidential Election. The fear of capital controls resurfacing has caused the Ringgit to be hit particularly hard, despite the BNM and government authorities repeatedly quelling the rumours. We believe with good reason that capital controls will not happen. Unlike in 1998, Malaysia runs a current-account surplus, has ample excess liquidity residing at the BNM, is on an improving fi ... |
| Kenanga's Top Picks for Year 2017 | WATCHLIST | 15 | In a nutshell, we believe the market will likely to be volatile in view of the more aggressive rate hike decision in the US. Besides, policy and direction of the Trump’s presidency could spark more uncertainties. The underlying market conditions seem mixed and the relatively low excess liquidity in the domestic banking system remains a concern. Coupled with the underlying weak tone in ringgit, we have yet to see a strong reversal in foreign fund flows. The good news, however, could be the emerge ... |

We firmly believe that the expectations of US Fed further raising its benchmark discount rate will continue to cause high volatility in capital flows across global capital markets.
