Selective Opportunities for Malaysia Equities as Markets Enter End-2025 -- Market Talk

Dow Jones12-24

0351 GMT - Malaysia's equity market is heading into the end of the year on a constructive but selective footing, driven by resilient domestic liquidity, steady institutional participation and improving sentiment, Rakuten Trade Research says in a statement. Festive-driven consumption is expected to support selected sectors into early 2026, as major celebrations typically lift household spending and near-term earnings visibility. The outlook is further supported by steady tourist arrivals, easing input costs from a firmer ringgit and expectations of targeted cash assistance, it adds. Rakuten expects Mr. D.I.Y. Group (M) and 99 Speed Mart Retail to benefit from consumer spending, while selected banks remain core holdings due to stable loan growth, strong balance sheets and consistent earnings. Defensive sectors, particularly consumer staples, also remain attractive for investors as volatility buffers, it adds. (yingxian.wong@wsj.com)
