Malaysian Equities Likely to Outperform in 2026 -- Market Talk

Dow Jones12-09 15:20

0720 GMT - Malaysian equities are likely to outperform in 2026, driven by factors including easing global trade tensions, UOB Kay Hian analysts write in a report. The benchmark Kuala Lumpur Composite Index may see renewed growth due to domestic pre-general election trading liquidity, they say. The analysts note that domestic equities saw positive returns in the 12-month run-up period to past general election polling dates. Malaysia is likely to hold general elections in 2027, the analysts say. The market is also expected to be supported by the ringgit's appreciation and the corporate earnings' growth recovery. UOB KH introduces its end-2026 KLCI target of 1760. The KLCI is 0.3% lower at 1607.75. (amanda.lee@wsj.com)
