Strategy - 2H25 Strategy – Re-Charging For Outperformance
2H25 Strategy – Re-Charging For Outperformance While Malaysian equities predictably kicked off the year with caution, the FBMKLCI is still being re-charged by easing global risk aversion and robust domestic-driven liquidity. We anticipate the market will progressively adopt a risk-on mode as signals of pragmatic US trade accords have re-sparked business capex cycles and spending.

As a leading regional feeder service provider, SSL stands to benefit from a secular trend of supply chain relocations to Southeast Asia. Its 1H25 performance should be supported by healthy container shipping volume and freight rates driven by Asian exporters’ frontloading activities, while the pending USTR port charges on large Chinamade vessels may boost demand outlook for small-sized/feeder vessels. SSL trades at 0.62x trailing P/B, with net cash of S$325m, forming 69% of its market cap.

Malaysia Strategy 2H25 - Re-Charging For Outperformance
Re-Charging For Outperformance Malaysian equities re-charging for outperformance. The FBMKLCI has partly reversed some of its 2024’s regional outperformance in 1H25 (having fallen 8.3% and 2.8% in local currency and US dollar terms respectively), as the US Trump administration’s overbearing and erratic US import tariff threats have driven up risk aversion in emerging countries. Meanwhile, the FBMKLCI is being re-energised for outperformance in 2H25 amid calmer global investment sentiments. The i...

China Online Games: Upcoming new game releases to capitalise on the su...
We opine that the intact grossing momentum in 2Q25 coupled with the anticipation of high-quality game releases set a compelling prelude to the upcoming summer holiday boom. We like the online game sector as it is a countercyclical play and is less susceptible to the ongoing geopolitical uncertainties. Our preference lies with Tencent, given its strong game grossing growth momentum and its position as a key proxy for AI application beneficiaries. Maintain OVERWEIGHT.

Greater China Strategy: Alpha Picks -- July Conviction Calls
June’s HSI and MSCI China Index rose 3.4% mom and 4.0% mom respectively, despite the pullback due to the Middle East tensions. July may see increased volatility as the US looks to bring the tariff negotiations to a close. At this juncture, we continue to favour domestic policy beneficiaries and sector leaders. New additions to our BUY list are CATL, KE Holdings, Longfor, Midea Group, Tencent and Tencent Music Entertainment. We take profit on Prudential.

THAILAND STRATEGY – Key Highlights From BOT Event; Political Situation...
The BOT attended our seminar to provide our clients with Thailand's economic outlook for 2H25. The BOT has revised its 2025 GDP forecast from 2.0% to 2.3% in the meeting. It foresees a softening of exports in 3Q25, due to the front-loading of exports in 1H25. The PM has been suspended, with a caretaker in charge, but there should be no impact on 2026’s budget. We highlight four sectors related to the BOT event. Top picks: KBANK, MTC, CPALL and STECON.

Thanachart Capital (TCAP TB) - 2Q25 Results Preview: Credit Costs Expe...
We expect TCAP to post a 2Q25 net profit of Bt1.78b (-7% yoy, +4% qoq). The qoq increase is attributed to seasonally received dividend income in the second quarter. We continue to foresee a further qoq decline in TCAP's credit costs for 2Q25, supported by a continued rise in the used truck price index. Meanwhile, TCAP has now transferred all its stakes in TNS to TTB, effective 1 Jul 25. There will be no gain from this transaction. Maintain HOLD with a target price of Bt48.00.

Recovery Taking Shape In 4QFY25, With FY26 Set To Accelerate Sharply Despite a sector-wide relief from the 4 April low, VS stands out as the relative laggard with a more muted rebound at an undemanding 14x FY26F PE, (-0.75SD below its sevenyear forward mean). We expect a sequential recovery in 4QFY25, followed by a transformative FY26 underpinned by a more favourable operating landscape. Additional impetus could come from its potential foray into new industries alongside onshoring opportunities....
