Strategy - Alpha Picks: Adapting To A Bipolar Market
Alpha Picks: Adapting To A Bipolar Market Our Alpha Picks sorely underperformed the bank rally-driven FBMKLCI in Aug 24 (-9.2% vs +3.2%), as most performing stocks in 1H24 succumbed to further heavy profit-taking during the month even after FBMKLCI’s swift recovery from “Black Monday”. Given the bipolar market, our September Alpha Picks embrace a blend of event-driven and defensive (best proxied by banks) picks.

The Greek banks’ earnings season will kick off on 31 July, with Piraeus Financial Holdings and Eurobank Ergasias Services’ results, followed by National Bank of Greece on 1 August and Alpha Services and Holdings on 2 August. On the adjusted / before one-offs net income level, for the sector as a whole, we expect an 11% qoq contraction and 6% yoy growth. We believe that trading income is likely to be a significant factor behind the qoq decline in earnings. We do not expect radical qoq changes in ...

Cultivating Regional Success Begins with Alhaya Alhaya continues to gestate well after breaking even. Its operational success should be a precursor to Alpha IVF’s exciting expansion plans for FY25, which will nearly double its existing number of facilities. These will fuel an impressive three-year earnings CAGR of 19.0% (FY23-36F). We continue to like Alpha IVF for its industry-leading capabilities and track record. Maintain BUY and target price of RM0.40.
