On the first day after the Budget 2022 announcement, Bursa Malaysia took a beating. The FBM KLCI, which is a gauge of the 30 biggest companies on Bursa Malaysia, dipped by 2.2%. RM34bil of market capitalisation was wiped off from the stock market, 178 stocks went up, 996 stocks dropped with 327 unchanged.
The biggest culprit is the additional windfall tax.
The government also proposed a one-off windfall tax called Cukai Makmur, and higher stamp duty for stock trading on Bursa Malaysia, to raise its revenue.
Under the Cukai Makmur, companies that churn more than RM100mil in annual income will be taxed 33% in 2022, from the current 24% tax rate.
In addition, the government will remove the RM200 stamp duty cap and increase the stamp duty rate to 0.15% from 0.1% for stock trading.
This Cukai Makmur is definitely not good for all investors including day traders, long term ordinary investors, institutional and foreign investors.
The proposed windfall tax increased from 24% to 33% is depressing all the stock prices. As a result, practically all the listed stocks have been dropping since the announcement.
As I said before, no stock can continue to drop for whatever reason. After some time, it will rebound upwards. Yesterday AYS shot up 6 sen per share. AYS is still the cheapest among all the steel stocks as you can see the comparison below.

All steel prices are in downtrend mode, when down trend, materials which bought at higher price is now selling at the lower end product price, making profit margin squeezed.
When price up, material bought cheap can sell higher, it is common to see all steel companies did well when price up, did terribly bad when steel price down

If making money in the stock market is as simple as tabulating historical eps divided by share price and conclude the one with the highest ratio is "cheapest", then everyone can become rich without working hard. Do we still need fund managers and analyst are redundant?
