Bank stocks are doing well today, probably heralding the return of political stability after the general election.

"probably heralding the return of political stability"

That fantasy is even more fanciful than me having my own personal harem filled with exotic beauties from around the world.

TTV, the political situation in the country can't be more unstable post GE15. Even the Palace had issued a statement saying that the Agong had consented to the dissolution of Parliament in order for a new and stable government to be elected.

prudentinvestor, I assume that you have considered the various options/parties that the new government may consist of?
I have envisaged at least three options.............and none of them fill me with any level of confidence in regards to stability.

“GE15 is drawing some funds (local and foreign) into the local market on expectations a big win for one of the parties could lead to a more stable leadership and better policy outcomes.

The fresh buying of local stocks by funds could be an early “window dressing” move triggered also by multi-year low valuations and underpinned by an improving domestic economic activity with Phua stating Phillip Research’s inhouse forecast is for the benchmark FBM KLCI to hit 1,571 points prior to Nov 19 (election day) as funds rotate money into sectors like banking and telecommunication companies from glove makers, oil and gas or even the technology counters.

stkoay, I'm more than a bit dubious about the prediction of the KLCI hitting 1,571 by Election day. A 120 point rise in around 4 weeks are things dreams are made of...lol.....but stranger things have happened :)

As for RHB, it still remains frustrating to watch it float around at current levels, particularly as I'd expected it to be over Rm6 this year. Once the dividend payout and DRP are over and done with by November 7 I'm expecting a bit more interest in this stock.

Let's hope so, anyway.

Hold for long term growth. EPF is the majority owner of RHB group. Solid balanced sheet

I might be wrong, but with a new Government and a more than likely chance of end of year window dressing in certain sectors we might see some gradual moves with some/most of the banking stocks.

The banking sector seems to me to have a more than an even chance of rising during this period as it's seen as a sector a bit safer than some others.

Just my thoughts, however worth watching for increasing interest, imo.

RHB Bank Bhd group managing director and CEO Mohd Rashid Mohamad said there is likely to be continued challenges of limited fiscal space, inflationary pressures and labour shortages in 2023.

However, he maintained the bank's fundamentals remain strong and it would continue to closely monitor asset quality moving forward.

"We are also mindful that some of our customers are still recovering from the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic and as such, will continue providing the necessary support and assistance especially to the most vulnerable groups within the community," he said in a statement.

RHB posted a net profit of RM700.48mil in 3Q22, up from RM635.59mil in the previous corresponding quarter, on higher net fund-based income, the absence of modification loss and lower expected credit losses (ECL).

Earnings per share was 16.63 sen compared with 15.64 sen in the previous same quarter.

Revenue was reported at RM3.48bil, up from RM3.03bil in the comparative quarter.

For the nine months period to Sept 30, 2022, RHB's net profit was RM1.94bil, slightly lower than RM1.99bil in the 2021 period while revenue was RM9.33bil, up from RM8.86bil in the year-ago period.

@Prudentinvestor, yep its got me scratching my head why the banks are lacklustre today. I was expecting a move from all of them on the back of very good results but they sit there like a stale bottles of piss.

Surely it's a matter of when and not if they eventually get moved up by the Funds.

RHB, CIMB, Maybank and Public Bank all down at close in spite of good QR. Only Ambank is doing some catch up.
Looks like people prefer speculative stocks rather than profit making counters.
Banks are making good profits and are boring stocks. Like what Warren Buffet said, making money is a boring business. There must be some truth to it.

I'm expecting some end of year window dressing in some sectors over the next few weeks. I'm already scratching my head as to why the banks have been lacklustre recently, particularly after reporting solid quarterlies, so I will be even more perplexed if they don't move upwards over the immediate short term.

Hope is not an investment strategy, although I'm hoping the banks start to make a move in the upcoming week :)

Steadily moving up. Hopefully it could go beyond RM6 by the end of the month.

RHB seems to follow the same path, whether it is going up or down.

If this is the genuine start to an upward leg, then perhaps look firstly for a break of 5.70.
If that gets broken then the usual drop off points are around 5.75, 5.85, 5.91 and 5.97.

Let's see how it plays out this time if it breaks 5.70.

CIMB Bank has performed much better over the past 25 months. It has gone up by 100% from around RM3 if dividends are included. RHB Bank has gone up by less than 50%. A lot of room to catch up.

You can forget about Rm6 for now, as it needs to break Rm5.80 convincingly and use that as a support level before it can go anywhere.
I remain surprised that RHB hasn't been able to take on Rm6 over recent months, however I still believe that it is only a matter of time before it eventually does.

RHB Bank's 2022 earnings should exceed 60 sen a share again. With an interim dividend of 15 sen a share, the same as last year, I expect the final dividend to be maintained at 25 sen a share also. It shouldn't be trading at a PE of less than 10. A PE of 12 to 13 should be more reasonable.

1 week ago

TreeTopView

@prudentinvestor, absolutely no disagreement with you there. Even with a very conservative PE of 10, this should already be above Rm6. With an annual dividend at currently 40 cents it will give a dividend yield of 6.6% with a Rm6 price tag.

As EPF own a major chunk of RHB, almost 41%, we retailers have to sit and be patient on when EPF actually want to take this stock price higher. I am still very optimistic that once the KLCI convincingly breaks 1,500 we will see a lot more strength in the RHB price point.

Until then, we wait and happily take up the dividend yield for now :)

Cheers.
