CGS has adjusted its forecasts, raising projected dividends per share by approximately 16.6% to 62 sen-67 sen for FY2024-FY2026, and increasing its dividend discount model-based target price from RM10.60 to RM11.20 for Maybank.

not happy lo, bought higher at 6.95....
...now waiting lower lo

CIMB closed at 6.56 that day.

On April 19th, when most markets were in deep red due to Israel/Iran conflict, EPF supported MBB at 9.70 (thus making the trade looked artificial) and RHB was trading about 5.49.
Now, MBB is up about 36 sen since then, this one stays around the same level.

Tomorrow morning, break 52 wk high 7.04......

....then afternoon, close 6.80, down 20 sen :p

Top 2 sui sui

come back.....

7.01 amazing sotong

During the recent correction, added 6.8+ , 6.7+ , but missed the boat at 6.6+ , so regret, now , will probably have to use the bullets at 7.0+ :(

If foreign holding returns to 25+% , I think RM12 is a possibility.

Foreign fund holding is still low at 19.69% versus the peak in 2013 25.64%

Loaded bullets kaw kaw last 2 week during sharp correction...
now, not finished yet (sob) :(

Haha.....

no, this one will wait for me to tambah tambah :)

How?
I think Mr. Market is saying....
Good thing is not cheap
and cheap thing is no good :)

At current price, MBB dividend yield is still about 6%

Clients are rotating to play the higher-for-longer interest rate theme. The banks are big beneficiaries,” said Tareck Horchani, head of prime brokerage dealing at Maybank Securities Pte. “Over the past two days, we have been actively purchasing shares for global funds and regional asset managers.”

Shares of DBS Group Holdings Ltd climbed 2.3% and Oversea-Chinese Banking Corp added 1.2%, with both extending record highs. United Overseas Bank Ltd rose 2% to its highest level in more than two years.

While higher interest rates help banks’ profitability, they can also translate into capital returns for shareholders “as the sector has capacity to improve already very attractive dividend yields,” Horchani said.

The 12-month projected dividend yield for OCBC was 5.6% compared with about 4.3% for the MSCI Asia Pacific Financials gauge, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Singapore banks are set to report results early next month.

Broken 52 wk high.....very bullish sign....

....global fund buy DBS first....will come to this one later.

Laggards remain challenged. As of our cut-off date of 16 Jun 2024, we note that only PBBANK (OP; TP: RM5.20) is performing below its CY24 start. In spite of its sound earnings delivery and high ROE prospects, we opine that investors may be more interested in positioning with banks with a higher corporate exposure to fuel potential profit growth on the bank of several macro themes (i.e. data centre, infrastructure projects) which left the stocks falling behind.
