Banking - 2H24 Financial Stability Report: Banking System Remains Soun...
2H24 Financial Stability Report: Banking System Remains Sound BNM’s 2H24 Financial Stability Report highlights that while Malaysia is not fully insulated from external risks like US trade policies and geopolitical tensions, the banking system is well-positioned to weather potential headwinds given the strong provision buffers and liquidity position. We maintain MARKET WEIGHT as the risk-reward remains balanced.

Banking - Finely Balanced – Focus On Laggards
Finely Balanced – Focus On Laggards We expect sector earnings growth to ease to 7% in 2025 (from 9% in 2024) due to slower non-interest income growth. While earnings resilience and attractive dividends support the investment case, valuations at +0.5SD above mean and foreign shareholding that is near a five-year high may limit upside. We maintain a MARKET WEIGHT stance, favouring laggards RHB Bank, Hong Leong Bank, and Public Bank for their better riskreward, while adding AMMB for potential capit...

4Q24: Supported By Strong Non-interest Income Growth Maybank’s 4Q24 net profit was in line, supported by strong non-interest income and lower provisions. Looking ahead, we expect non-interest income growth to taper off while NIM could start to stabilise. We maintain HOLD on Maybank and a target price of RM10.56 (1.18x FY25 P/B, 10.2% ROE). The stock is trading at mean P/B which we deem fair given its modest earnings growth expectation of 3%, while the current dividend yield of 6% is also compara...

Banking - Loan Growth Tapers Off
Loan Growth Tapers Off Loan growth slowed to 5.5% in Dec 24 (Nov 24: +5.8%), ending the year at the lower end of our 5.5-6.0% forecast due to weaker-than-expected business loan growth. We maintain our 2025 loan growth target of 6.0-7.0%, although the sluggish corporate loans remain a risk. With sector earnings growth likely to trail the broader market’s, we maintain a MARKET WEIGHT stance, favouring laggards like Public Bank, RHB Bank, and Hong Leong Bank.

Banking - Assessing Capital Management Potential
Assessing Capital Management Potential We believe that despite their healthy capital adequacy ratios, Malaysian banks are likely to take a cautious and gradual approach to capital management, prioritising sustainability given the uncertainty surrounding the full impact of Basel 4 implementation on capital ratios. Maintain a MARKET WEIGHT stance, favouring laggards RHB, Hong Leong Bank and Public Bank for their better risk-reward.

Banking - Positive Outlook Priced In – Focus On Laggards
Positive Outlook Priced In – Focus On Laggards The sector delivered 3Q24 earnings growth of 11% yoy, driven by lower provisions and robust trading and forex income. 9M24 earnings growth of 8% aligns with our fullyear assumption of 8%. With the sector trading at +1.0SD to its historical mean P/B and earnings growth lagging the KLCI (set to ease in 2025), much of the favourable macro outlook seems priced in. Maintain a MARKET WEIGHT stance, favouring laggards RHB, Hong Leong Bank and Public Bank f...

With the sector trading at 1.0SD above its historical mean P/B and earnings growth lagging the KLCI, much of the favourable macro-outlook appears to be priced in.

2Q24: Supported By Lower Provisions Maybank’s 2Q24 net profit was in line, supported by lower provisions, but pre-provision operating profit contracted 4% qoq and yoy due to negative operating Jaws and weaker non-interest income. Management lowered its full-year NIM outlook due to increased competition for loans and deposits. We maintain HOLD on Maybank with a higher target price of RM10.56 (1.18x FY25 P/B, 10.2% ROE), rolling over our target price to 2025.

Banking - Loans Growth Gains Traction
Loans Growth Gains Traction Loans growth edged upwards to 6.5% (May: 5.8%) on a recovery in business loans. We raise our 2024 loans growth assumption to 6.5-7.0% on stronger business loans growth. This implies a 1.46x loans growth to GDP multiple (GDP forecast: 4.6%) which is relatively high vs the 10-year historical range of 0.90-1.70x. As earnings sensitivity to loans growth is rather modest, the impact on earnings forecast is only +0.5%. Maintain MARKET WEIGHT with CIMB being our top pick wit...
