Market rumour is as follows :- The US stock market will crash in September 2024. KLSE will follow the US stock market to crash in September 2024. Local institutions are selling all the shares listed in KLSE like no tomorrow. But foreign investors are net buying in KLSE in the last 2 months. With this type of mentality of investors in KLSE, do you think KLSE will perform well in 2024 ?
Good economic fundamentals of Malaysia also cannot help to boost up the performance of KLSE. The Malaysian Ringgit is strengthening against other major currencies, especially USD is good news to the Malaysian stock market. Malaysian exports increased by 12.3% in July 2024 compared against July 2023. The GDP growth for Q2 2024 is 5.9%. All this news will attract foreign investors to invest in KLSE. This news will make our KLSE into a bull market.
The actual situation in KLSE is pointing towards the worst market in 2024 despite very good economic fundamentals experienced in 1H of 2024.
The foreign funds are net buyers in KLSE in the last 2 months and now. Local institutions are selling cheap tickets to all foreign funds. Are local institutions smart investors in Malaysia ? I feel very sad to see this phenomenon happen in Malaysia.
In 2013, the GDP growth was only 4.69%, the FBMKLCI index closed at 1,867. The Q2 2024 GDP growth is 5.9%, our FBMKLCI is at 1,660 only.
Many investors will still listen to market rumour that KLSE will crash in September 2024. Can KLSE perform better than other stock markets in the world ?
Warren Buffett will not be a stock god if he invested in KLSE only. You should feel very proud if you are still making money especially when you invest in KLSE only. Do not blame 80% of investors in KLSE are losing money.
YTL share price drop by over 20% in past 1 week is unjustified. It was obviously affected by the MACC investigation on the 1Bestarinet project which was used by business rivals and short sellers to press down the share price.
It is just a political maneuver which will not cause any harm to YTL's future prospects. The fundamentals remain intact with improving earnings outlook in next few years. For instance, CGS upgraded YTL to a Buy with target price of RM3.55 after the Q4 FY24 result update. CGS lowering of YTL target price was due to a cut in FY2025 earnings of YTL Power by 14%, which itself will prove to be a mistake.
Despite the cut in earnings in FY2025, YTL is trading at CY2025 PER of just 12x which makes it the cheapest construction cum conglomerate stocks in Bursa. Other big cap construction stocks are trading at PER of well over 20x.
Why I said the earnings cut of 14% for YTLP FY25 earnings by CGS is a mistake is because CGS pushed forward the AI data centre earnings contribution to YTLP to FY2026, i.e. it did not include any earnings contribution of AI data centre in FY2025 altogether. I think this will prove to be a mistake.
I see earnings of YTL Power to rise by 10% or so in FY2025 to above RM3.5 billion, despite the efforts of sell-side analysts to downplay the earnings of PowerSeraya and AI data centres (eg. CGS), Maybank even worse to completely ignore the earnings from Jordan Power.
Apart from YTL Power, YTL's 73%-owned subsidiary MCement will see its earnings another jump in quarters ahead as several mega infrastructure projects are taking off in soon - MRT3, Penang LRT, KL-Singapore HSR, Singapore Changi Terminal 5, Tuas Mega Port etc.
YTL hotels and shopping mall division will see continued strength as visa free travels from China and India will continue well into 2025.
TS Francis Yeoh has to use his excellent public relationship to sort out MACC case urgently. Otherwise, will not see the real bottom of this stock. If this MACC case persists, 2.00 may not be the temporary bottom. Very sad for this stock. No luck. Thank you.

Muhidin is the real target of the investigation and ytl is collateral damage ---------------------- I agreed. Please note that foreign funds are also invested in this stock, hence it is not fair for this MACC case to remain unresolved. A decision has to be made, charge YTL Communications if she is guilty. If not, clarify the case and get it resolved. Please note that YTL and YTLPower have business in other parts of the world. They are international companies. Thank you.
Once the cronies have collected huge bunch of cheap shares from the scaremongers, the anticipated "good news" will be released and price recovers enriching these cronies. Meanwhile, all technical support level, moving averages, supply zones have been smashed, now the 2.10 demand zone must hold the fort. Otherwise Uncle Yeoh will see his empire burn all the way back down to 1.50. Time will tell how the story evolves.
why politicians being corrupt is so acceptable? becos when he become leader, he will steal 2billions, and distribute 1 million each to the macais who are willing to lick his backside, and run propaganda on his behalf, that the politicians is prihatin to the rakyat, BUT the truth is he is a triple head snake
Even the stocked has been sold down for many days, still no one no big funds dare to "buy the dip", that shows MACC's investigation is scaring the hell out of big boys!
Despite the continued bashing by certain new IDs in this forum, YTL and YTLP shares are rebounding strongly.
I think i3 admin should block these new IDs for spreading unfounded allegation while MACC is investigating the case, or else YTL group may initiate legal actions against i3 or some of these people behind the fake IDs
@ValueInvestor888, latest sources say MACC is no longer questioning any personnel from YTL Comms, and confidence has built up that YTL Comms will be cleared of any wrongdoing by MACC eventually.
I do not have other news but just faith in the company. Be patient to wait out this episode.
Foreign funds net bought RM11 million worth of YTL Power shares and RM7 million worth of YTL shares yesterday. Looks like they have moved ahead of us in scooping up cheap tickets.
Net short position on YTL Power continued to slide down to 8.4m shares as of yesterday, despite new short addition of 100k shares yesterday. Today I see little short selling on YTL and YTLP too.
I guess foreign funds and short sellers already sense something ahead of us before the tide turns.
