📱BIMB SECURITIES RESEARCH: WEEKLY MARKET UPDATE 📱 Theme of the Week: "Domestic Shelter" — Global Squall, Domestic Shelter 📉 MARKET PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW - FBMKLCI: Fell -2.6% WoW to close at 1,667.7 (slipping to -0.7% YTD). - Foreign Funds: Resumed net selling with an outflow of -RM555mn (tracking a broader EM exit). - Local Investors: Fully stepped up to absorb the dip! Local Retail bought +RM380mn and Local Institutions added +RM175mn in net buying. - Sectors: Plantation was the sole gainer (+0.1% WoW). Industrial Products (-5.8% WoW) and Technology (-4.0% WoW) suffered the heaviest hits on global tech profit-taking. 📊 COMMODITIES & FOREX SNAPSHOT - Brent Crude: Collapsed a further -10.6% WoW to USD71.99/bbl as the Iran ceasefire held and the Strait of Hormuz fully reopened. (Note: This is a massive fiscal relief for Malaysia, easing the national fuel-subsidy bill!) - CPO: Eased -2.0% WoW to RM4,504/MT. - Ringgit (USDMYR): Showed great resilience, strengthening -1.2% WoW to 4.09 despite the stronger greenback. - Gold: Dropped -1.6% to USD4,088.74/Tr Oz. 🎯 STRATEGY & MARKET OUTLOOK Because this sell-off is driven by offshore factors rather than local fundamentals, we see this correction as an accumulation opportunity. We shift our focus entirely toward a Domestic Shelter theme—favoring domestic-facing, cash-generative companies protected from external shocks. 🔥 TOP 5 WATCHLIST FOR THE WEEK 1. 🛢Hibiscus Petroleum (BUY; TP: RM2.80) - Our View: Solid balance sheet; current valuations already discount the softer crude environment. 2. 🏢Sunway Construction (BUY; TP: RM8.28) - Our View: A pure domestic-demand play insulated from global equity shocks with a powerful data-centre order book. 3. 🌐 Telekom Malaysia (BUY; TP: RM7.78) - Our View: Highly defensive, recurring cash flows backed by structural hyperscaler data-centre connectivity demand. 4. ⚡️ Tenaga Nasional (BUY; TP: RM16.77) - Our View: Strong defensive yield paired with structural growth from the surge in data-centre power consumption. 5. ⚓️ Velesto Energy (HOLD; TP: RM0.32) - Our View: Steady domestic oil-services exposure providing a comfortable dividend yield cushion.
