Often what funds will do is sell their current holdings on open market and then buy the shares offered for sale

Today's low 3.95 should be near basement level as 3.85 is considered as the wholesale price with wholesale discount of RM0.10. Just a wild guess the new buyer could be linked to Japanese Bank as their stock market is doing extremely well recently.

If ANZ willing to sell their Ambank stake at 3.85 means they see Malaysian banking sektor as fully valued already.

Bulk sales must come with discount, not based on market price

This is twin story of Affin Bank. When the identity of the buyer is announced the market mood will swing to positive territory and the headline news will read like some international institutional investors are bullish on Malaysia's banking sector which is similar to the story of Abang Jo's entry to Affin Bank. The reason ANZ is cashing out from Ambank may be related to equity accounting and forex translation loss and most of the liability related to 1MBD's already cleared so again just like Affin Bank, the new major shareholder will hit the RESET BUTTON and push the bank forwards. Ambank's NTA is around RM5.9 so the new buyers just like Abang Jo will be laughing to the bank.

Beside Japan Inc, another possibility is Dubai Corp as the name of Ambank already hinted it is Arab Malaysian Bank. Highly unlikely Temasek as recently there were hit badly by the FTX crypto drama. Brunei King is another possibility but Your Highness is more interested in business ventures linked to Singapore so this possibility also ruled out.

Share price likely going to tank to around 3.80 or below….
That’s the indicating price of the sale transaction

Posted by t_nike2002 > 1 month ago | Report Abuse

They r using research report to prop up the price but I don’t think investors are so gullible.

Posted by smartly > 1 month ago | Report Abuse

epf smarter loh. epf will choose to sell in the open market to reap higher price, rather than selling cheap.

Let's wait for the new buyer entity be announced.
It shld be positive move after announcement for banking stocks...
Only big fund has the capacity to swallow the amount of stakes..
So, big fund means big name means new investor interested to invest in Malaysia banking. Good news

Industry sources told StarBiz the demand for sale of AmBank’s shares have been overwhelming as the upsize portion of the shares (7.5%) have been fully sold in view of the quality of the bank and its good potential going forward.


“Around 80% to 85% of the buyers are Malaysian “long only funds” like institutions like pension funds, insurance companies etc. The remaining are primarily Asian funds, followed by funds from Europe and the United States,” the source added.

the buyers of Ambank shares are institutional.. any who buy more than 5% will require BNM approval and this process can't be done via a book building exercise/placement. so don't expect any new substantial shareholder. as what Contarian said its all public institutions.

Not sure what's deal but if the block is placed to local fund managers it will create a lot of overhang shares as local fund managers normally quick to take profit and also unlikely this block of shares has lockup period. Hong Long IB said the share overhang will take at least six months for the market to digest with target price RM4.20

Just mention Sarawak enough to push Ambank up 4.56%. LOL!
