Buybacks begin, a hasty retreat, The downward spiral, a painful defeat. The tables turn, the tide has swayed, Affin's value, no longer delayed.

Affin – will a change of shareholders improve performance
The performance of Bursa banking group Affin over the past 12 year was nothing to shout about. Its performance, measured against a panel of 10 Bursa Malaysia banks, is below the sector median across key metrics such as returns, efficiency, and loan performance. However, it has improved its capital adequacy ratio.
But I would not consider Affin is a value trap as it remains profitable with a margin of safety over 30% based on the asset value. However, it lacks a sufficient margin of safety under the earnings value.
The Sarawak State Government has recently acquired a substantial stake in the bank. There is hope that the state would divert its funds to Affin thereby improving its deposits and hopefully grow its loans. But if the challenge is efficiency and loan performance, I am not sure whether there would be a quantum leap in performance. For more insights refer to page 20 of INVEST
Careful guys. Must look at the quality of the profits. If profitability is maintained by reversing provisions instead of the normal course of business... then it is bad news
The bank's revenue for the quarter increased by 22.44% year-on-year to RM612.77mil.
PETALING JAYA: Affin Bank Bhd expects the overall outlook for the domestic banking sector to remain favourable for the remainder of 2024 supported by steady loan and financial growth as well as stable asset quality.
In a filing with Bursa Malaysia, the banking group warned competition for deposits is expected to persist and intensify towards the end of the year, which may have implications on the overall industry’s cost of deposits.
Which bank or banks did the Sarawak Government park their Cash? How will it affect these banks should the Sarawak Government decide to transfer all their cash holdings to Affin. Conduct all monetary transactions using Affin as the primary bank.
