2023F is likely to be another challenging year as Malaysian corporates adjust to the new policy landscape, rising costs and slower global growth.
We expect most of the pessimism on the global economy to be priced in by 1H23F and the market to perform better in 2H23F.
Potential bright spots are return of foreign funds, M&A activities/synergies, a stable government, and clarity on the new government policies.
We lower our end-2022F KLCI target to 1,510 points and expect KLCI to return 8% in 2023F to end at 1,633 points.
Our top three picks for 1H23 are Malaysia Airports, MRDIY and RHB Bank. |
