Historical data shows that after the slump in September, US stocks tend to experience a relatively strong rebound in the following fourth quarter. Since 1990, the win rates for US stocks in October, November, and December have been as high as 65%, 71%, and 76%, respectively, with gains exceeding 1% in each month. This suggests that accumulating cash and buying fundamentally strong stocks during market downturns could be a viable strategy.

Generally, in a lower interest rate environment, the investment value of sectors with high dividends such as banks, utilities and consumer staples become more prominent. In the face of potential market volatility, stocks with stable dividend growth and high free cash flow yields in these sectors also have stronger defensive attributes. If their valuations are relatively low, the margin of safety will be higher. So if you expect more volatility in September than usual, it's time to sell offensive stocks and buy defensive stocks.

Cheers Everyone!

This week $BIMB (5258.MY)$ has launched the second tranche of its RM5 billion sukuk wakalah program, totaling RM250 million. This additional tier-1 capital sukuk wakalah, which has a perpetual non-callable period of five years, received a long-term rating of A3 from RAM Rating Services Bhd. The funds raised from this issuance will be allocated towards financing the bank's general working capital needs and other corporate purposes.

Two years ago I subcribed to BIMB 1st Tranche RM5.82 billion sukuk wakalah to support our Islamic Bank after evaluating the Bank using Warren Buffett Economic Moat and Risk Analysis Framework using Jitta, this algorithm calculates BIBM Business Performance includes Earnings, Free Cashflows, Return on Equity, Net Profit Margin, Interest Coverage and Dividends over the last 10 years. On a Scale of 1 to 10, it gives a score of 5 which is below Buffet Business School recommendation above 7 to make a viable Business Investment.

Despite below Par rating Mabel decided to invest on the 1st Tranche Sukuk since almost all pilgrim who goes for Hajj and Umrah will use BIMB as Tabung Haji are not allow to handle banking services in Saudi Arabia (new regulation). Hence BIMB has become TH preferred bank to serve the pilgrims.

As a shareholder of BIMB, the issuance of the second tranche of its RM5 billion sukuk wakalah program can be seen as a positive development. Well Done BIMB!

“In the end banking is a very good business unless you do dumb things. You get your money extraordinarily cheap and you don't have to do dumb things. But periodically banks do it, and they do it as a flock, like international loans in the 80s. You don't have to be a rocket scientist when your raw material cost is less than 1.5%.”

BIMB has shown a strong commitment to returning value to its shareholders through regular dividend payments

When comparing Bank Islam Malaysia Berhad (BIMB) to other banks in terms of dividends, here are some key points to consider:

Dividend Yield: BIMB has a relatively high dividend yield compared to many other banks in Malaysia. For instance, its recent dividend yield has been around 5-6%, which is quite attractive for dividend investors.

Consistency: BIMB has a strong track record of paying consistent dividends over the years. This consistency can be appealing to investors looking for reliable income.

Comparison with Major Banks:

Maybank (Malayan Banking Berhad): Maybank is known for its high dividend payouts, often yielding around 6-7%.

Public Bank Berhad: Public Bank typically offers a lower yield compared to Maybank and BIMB, usually around 3-4%.
CIMB Group Holdings Berhad: CIMB’s dividend yield is generally in the range of 4-5%.

Sector Performance: The overall performance of the banking sector can influence dividend payouts. Banks with strong earnings and growth prospects are more likely to maintain or increase their dividends.

Economic Conditions: Macroeconomic factors such as interest rates, inflation, and economic growth also play a significant role in determining dividend policies.

Overall, BIMB stands out for its relatively high and consistent dividend yield, making it a competitive option among Malaysian banks for dividend-focused investors.

As always trade at your own risk..

Just like PCHEM, Bank Islam Malaysia Berhad (BIMB) is expected to announce its quarterly results (QR) on November 28, 2024. BIMB has a strong track record of paying consistent dividends over the years. Last year Dividend Yields is 7%.

The stock remains in a sideways range but recently tested its 52-week high of MYR2.80 on increased volume. A breakout above this level would signal bullish continuation, supported by the higher lows structure that completes an ascending triangle pattern. With the recent rise in the RSI, a breakout appears imminent, potentially starting a new upcycle
