Bursa Malaysia normally adjust & review the KLCI on a semi annual basis. The last review was adjusted on 19 June. The next review will take place in December
YTL (& to a smaller extent, YTLPower) has certainly made a tidy contribution to my coffers this year, yet its secondary market Tokyo has put this completely into the shade with a 31.8% share of 23's earnings from 18 Japanese stocks so far, the highest ever! [Besides crossing huge round numbers of profit figures that seemed out of reach just a few months ago!]
YTL Power and YTL to make hot debut: they may become the new favourites of the KLCI Index
FTSE Russell will announce the results of its upcoming semi-annual review of the FTSE Bursa Malaysia Index Series on Thursday, 7 December 2023. We anticipate that the review will use market capitalization data as of the close of business on Monday, 20 November 2023, four weeks prior to the effective date of the review. All component changes under review will be effective on Monday, 18 December 2023. The market is closely watching this review because of the impact it may have on KLCI index-linked products such as the FTSE 30 ETF and KLCI index-linked funds.
Let me briefly review the rules for additions and deletions from KLCI, the rules and regulations for the FTSE Bursa Malaysia Index, if a company’s market capitalization rises to 25th or higher, it will be included in FBM KLCI during the period of regular review; if a company’s market capitalization falls to 36th or lower, will be removed during regular review. In addition to market capitalization ranking, companies need to meet two other criteria for inclusion in KLCI, namely 15% or more of free float shares and sufficient liquidity.
As of 30 October 2023, YTL Power and YTL are currently sitting at the 23rd and 25th positions in the market capitalization rankings respectively, taking into account the recent significant share price gains. Therefore, based on market capitalization, both YTL Power and YTL are eligible for inclusion in the KLCI index.
Westports, on the other hand, is currently at the 36th position in the market capitalization rankings. Therefore, it is possible to be removed from the KLCI Index. To ensure that the same number of constituents are included and removed during regular reviews, the stock with the second lowest ranking among the current KLCI constituents will be removed, and Dialog may also face the risk of being removed from the index.
It should be noted that this is only a preliminary estimate based on market capitalization data as of the close of 30 October 2023. There are still 11 trading days until 20 November 2023, and many changes may occur in the market during this period. However, I think stocks about to be included in the KLCI index are likely to attract more buying momentum over the next 11 trading days as speculators do not want to miss this opportunity.
A changing chameleon. Politician is like a chameleon { changing their stripes and narratives whenever or whatever time of the day} the end justifies the means
https://theedgemalaysia.com/node/688302 CGS-CIMB Research (Oct 23): According to a media release by Energy Market Authority (EMA) on Oct 23, Singapore’s Ministry of Trade and Industry and EMA are looking to set up an entity (Gasco) that will centralise the procurement and supply of gas for the power sector. Gasco will aggregate gas demand from power generators (Gencos) and purchase the required volumes on their behalf. This compares with the current framework that allows Gencos to procure their gas volume requirements independently based on their own commercial terms.
This is similar to the temporary price cap implemented in July, with the new framework looking set to further curb excessive volatility in Singapore’s electricity prices. It may also, in our view, create a more level playing field among the Gencos as it would effectively eliminate any gas price advantage. Profit margins would, therefore, need to be driven mainly by plant efficiencies.
According to management, YTL Power International Bhd’s (YTLP) earliest gas contract expiry is end-2025, with some stretching to 2028/29. We do not expect any notable impact on YTLP’s near-term earnings, but longer-term margins could normalise from the elevated levels enjoyed in recent quarters.
Without doubt the HSR link between KL - Ipoh rail link is far easier to implement vs the HSR KL - Singapore rail link. Have a uncanny feeling that the PH government will implement the HSR KL - Ipoh rail link first follow later by the HSR KL-Singapore rail link. Distance, cost, overlapping jurisdictions and negotiations between 5 different stalk {state} holders and the government of Singapore is tedious and contentious. Just my personal view
In any scenario there is always a bull and a bear. Nov -Dec period going by the book . statistically this period favours the bull . Keep our chest up and shoot the bears. Happy holidays
CGS - CIMB is double overweight on this few counters. Gamuda, YTL, Sunway. In it's recommendation the research house confidence is based on the underlying factor that the government strategies and directions have become clearer. The aggressive rollout of the development budget of 90 billion in the recent announcement is to kick start the economy sector. Not a buy call just my own personal view Please do your own research before you buy or sell
Yes. Important for YTL to move a niche higher before the Bursa top 30 is reconfigure before the end month announcement . The largest 24 or 25 big cap will be added on the list automatically. All the MSCI /Bursa 30 list of companies are closely monitor and follow by the funds and foreign buyers.
This book is the result of the author's many years of experience and observation throughout his 26 years in the stockbroking industry. It was written for general public to learn to invest based on facts and not on fantasies or hearsay....
