M+ Global Market Update – 09Sep26
High Yields and Oil Spike Pressure Market Sentiment
US: Given the Brent oil spike nearer towards the USD100/bbl mark alongside 10-year Treasury yields pushing near two-decade highs, we expect Wall Street to maintain its cautious tone. Stock-wise, investors could monitor fabless semiconductor company Astera Labs (ALAB), as hyperscalers aggressively expand AI cluster deployments, which should drive high-margin demand for its PCIe 6.0 and CXL retimer connectivity hardware. Meanwhile, buying interest was also seen in Oracle (ORCL) following its gap-up, supported by its USD638bn Remaining Performance Obligation (RPO) backlog and 50%+ projected growth in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). However, given that its price experienced a gap-up and faces resistance at its MA200, investors could wait for a pullback to a higher low as an entry level.
MY: Tracking Wall Street’s negative overnight performance, we believe overall sentiment for the FBM KLCI may stay generally weaker. However, given the elevated oil prices, traders could look for energy-related plays for short-term trading opportunities, particularly HENGYUAN and PCHEM. Meanwhile, we favour both SAM and EIPOWER, with the former acting as a proxy for Applied Materials and seeing robust equipment orders as the broader semiconductor market enters an AI supercycle, while the latter is supported by accelerated revenue conversion from mission-critical DC power delivery and its expansion into Thailand.
Stocks to watch:
Construction: CHB, *HEGROUP, *ICENTS*, *JTGROUP*, MNHLDG
Technology: *AIMFLEX*, *CNERGEN*, INFOM, PENTECH
Solar: *NORTHERN*

Good Morning All,
We issued a company update report on our coverage stock AWC Berhad: Your Trusted Guide to Global Trading | Malacca Securities (mplusonline.com)
📌 Earnings recap. As highlighted in our previous report, AWC’s FY26 core PAT came in at RM20.1m (-19.3% YoY), within expectations at 104.1%/101.3% of our/consensus forecasts. Reported PAT was higher at RM26.4m (+6.2% YoY), mainly due to a RM6.3m impairment reversal in 4QFY26. Moving forward, earnings momentum should remain supported by its expanding data centre pipeline and RM847.4m outstanding order book.
📌 Data centre momentum accelerating. Data centre subcontracts under the Engineering segment have reached an all-time high order book of RM100.0m. Moving forward, management conservatively projects RM100.0m–120.0m in annual order book replenishment across FY27f and FY28f, anchored primarily by plumbing and air-conditioning packages for regional data centre developments.
📌 Concession and healthcare visibility intact. Management remains optimistic about securing its government facilities maintenance concession extension, which is expected to contribute ~RM70.0m in FY27f despite no official update from relevant authorities yet. Furthermore, hospital support and maintenance services across three major healthcare facilities (Hospital Shah Alam, National Cancer Institute Putrajaya, and Hospital Orang Asli Gombak) are anticipated to continue seamlessly, contributing RM50.0m–60.0m in revenue for FY27f.
📌 Strategic pivot toward India in Environment segment. Amid persistent geopolitical headwinds in the Middle East, management is shifting its Environment division's growth focus toward major public infrastructure tenders in India, specifically smart cities and airports. Consequently, short-to-medium term segment performance will rely on Malaysia, Singapore, and India as key drivers while awaiting operational recovery in the Middle East.
📌 Penang LRT subcontract opportunities starting CY27. While viewing the rail systems contract award for the Penang LRT project positively, management expects tangible earnings contributions to materialize starting CY27 when specialized subcontract packages (track works, depot equipment, and maintenance systems) open for bidding. In the interim, AWC maintains a healthy existing rail order book of RM72.1m, supported by ongoing works such as the Prasarana Ampang Line conductor rail replacement.
Maintained BUY with a higher TP of RM0.65. We maintain our Buy recommendation with a higher TP of RM0.65 (from RM0.59). The target price is derived based on a P/E ratio of 10.0x pegged to our revised FY27f fully-diluted EPS of 6.50 sen.

FBM KLCI: 1,714.34 pts (-0.06pts, -0.00%)

Key Takeaways from GTA Management Meeting
📌 Helicopter Crash Unrelated: The recent helicopter crash in Sarawak has no link to GTA’s operations. The aircraft was fitted with a Rolls-Royce engine, not a Safran engine.
📌 Regional Expansion Progress: Near-term announcements regarding expansion into Brunei are expected soon, followed by Middle East announcements by year-end, according to the management.
📌 Contract Renewals on Track: Management is progressing the renewal of the In-Service Support (ISS) contract, targeted to commence in 1Q27 to secure 3-year revenue visibility, pending official LOA issuance.
📌 MRO Expansion: MRO expansion into landing gear, wheels, and brakes is progressing as scheduled for a 1Q27 rollout.
📌 Solid Fundamentals & LTAT assurance: Core operations remain unaffected, with management anticipating robust 3Q results. LTAT has also reaffirmed its institutional backing.
📈 Valuation & Recommendation
📌 The recent weakness in GTA’s share price appears driven by panic selling linked to the Sarawak helicopter incident (which does not involve Safran engines), alongside broader regional market softness.
📌 GTA’s core thesis remains solid, supported by recurring sovereign defense contracts, upcoming national budget catalysts, and strong backing from cornerstone investor LTAT.
📌 Trading at a compelling 9x P/E, we view this sell-off as an accumulation opportunity. We maintain our Fair Value of RM0.58, pegged to a 17x P/E multiple.

M+ Global Market Update – 10Sep26
Markets Turn Defensive as Oil Breaches US$100
US: Given the ongoing U.S.–Iran military escalation that pushed oil prices above US$100/bbl, Wall Street is expected to remain in a risk-off environment. Nevertheless, we believe investors could position in fabless semiconductor player Marvell Technology, supported by management’s upgraded multi-year guidance of c.US$12bn revenue in FY27 and c.US$18bn in FY28, underscoring rapidly expanding demand for custom ASIC accelerators and high-speed optical interconnects. Meanwhile, with markets pricing in a 62.2% chance of a 25bps rate hike this month, which could favour banking stocks such as Morgan Stanley and Citigroup.
MY: Tracking Wall Street’s overnight weakness, we expect the local bourse to remain soft, although the data centre theme remains intact, with Construction and selected Technology stocks likely to stay in focus. Meanwhile, GTA saw a knee-jerk sell-off following news of a Sarawak helicopter crash, which is unrelated to its operations. We believe GTA’s investment thesis remains intact, supported by recurring sovereign defence contracts, upcoming budget catalysts and backing from cornerstone investor LTAT. Hence, we view the weakness as an accumulation opportunity, with our fair value unchanged at RM0.58. Similarly, investors could accumulate KPJ following its technical selldown since late August, presenting a value-picking opportunity in a fundamentally solid company.

Good Morning All,
We issued a company update report on our coverage stock Powerwell Holdings Berhad: Your Trusted Guide to Global Trading | Malacca Securities (mplusonline.com)
📝Summary
📌 Results recap. 1Q27 revenue surged 145.6% YoY to RM88.3m, core PATMI +114.6% YoY to RM9.0m, driven by data centre billings and Tenaga Kenari contributions. GP margin eased to 24.1% from 27.3% due to front-loaded mobilisation and higher outsourcing.
📌 Capacity expansion underway. PWRWELL is adding 120,000 sq ft in Shah Alam (partially operational October 2026) and 10,000 sq ft in Indonesia, raising total built-up area by 85% to c.262,000 sq ft and annual output capacity by 79% to 18,724 units by FY28. T
💡M+ Global View
📌 Orderbook replenishment. The RM268.9m orderbook should be largely recognised within three to nine months, providing immediate near-term revenue momentum. We view the c.RM573m tender book (70% data centre, estimated 20-30% conversion rate) as supportive, implying RM100-200m of potential order conversion over the next six to 12 months and enabling sustained higher revenue beyond FY27.
📌 Capacity expansion. We see the enlarged footprint as a pivotal step in reducing reliance on outsourced production; in-house fabrication from FY28 should improve cost efficiency and operating leverage as utilisation ramps, gradually offsetting current margin compression and supporting scalability of the enlarged orderbook.
📈Valuation & Recommendation
📌 Forecast. FY27f/FY28f earnings raised 29.9%/32.8% to RM37.6m/RM44.5m, reflecting confidence in project recognition pace on the secured orderbook.
📌 Upgrade to HOLD, TP RM1.20. Based on 17.0x P/E on FY28f EPS of 7.07 sen, implying 8.1% upside plus 1.9% dividend yield (10.0% total return). Improved outlook largely reflected in current price.
📌 Downside risks. (i) slower contract replenishment, (ii) project delivery delays, (iii) FX volatility.

M+ Global Market Update – 11Sep26
Elevated Yields Keep Risk Appetite Muted
US: We expect Wall Street to remain risk-off as Brent crude stays above US$100/bbl and the US 10-year Treasury yield hovers near 5%, reinforcing inflation and higher-for-longer rate concerns ahead of the CPI release. We favour Exxon Mobil and Chevron as direct beneficiaries of elevated oil prices. Chubb could also benefit from higher investment yields, with 2Q26 adjusted net investment income reaching a record US$1.88bn (+11.4% YoY), alongside a strong 83.8% P&C combined ratio. Meanwhile, TD SYNNEX remains supported by record 2QFY26 results, while Twilio continues to benefit from 17% organic revenue growth and its raised FY26 guidance.
MY: MY: Closer to home, we expect the FBM KLCI to trade cautiously amid elevated global yields and oil prices, while interest in the Data Centre theme should remain intact. PEKAT remains in focus after securing RM57.2m of new hyperscale data-centre subcontracts in Johor. YTLPOWR is supported by sequentially stronger 4QFY26 earnings and its proposed gigawatt-scale data-centre campus at Sedenak Tech Park. Meanwhile, JTGROUP remains well positioned to benefit from continued power infrastructure spending, following its RM69.5m TNB contract for a new 132/33kV GIS substation and 132kV overhead line in Tumpat, Kelantan, alongside its RM46.7m underground cable subcontract.

Good Afternoon All,
Yesterday, we attended a site visit to Malayan Flour Mills Berhad's Lumut flour mill and DindingTyson poultry processing plant in Sitiawan. Below are our key takeaways:
📝Key Takeaways
📌 Domestic poultry growth supported by modern trade and value-added products. Modern trade remains a key growth channel, while DindingTyson continues to expand its Ready-to-Eat (RTE) range, including charcoal-grilled satay, Ayam Masak Merah, Ayam Kicap and Ayam Kam Heong. This should support greater penetration of value-added processed poultry products.
📌 Poultry processing capacity offers further growth headroom. Primary processing utilisation improved to 70.8% in 1H26 from 63.4%, with current capacity at 280,000 birds/day. Management is targeting slaughtering capacity of 340,000 birds/day, alongside further automation investment and potential expansion of own-farming capacity.
📌 Lumut mill positioned for higher utilisation and efficiency gains. Malaysia flour milling capacity stands at 560.5k tonnes p.a. following the addition of the new Lumut line in May 2025. The plant is also undergoing automation upgrades and silo storage expansion to improve operational efficiency and support higher throughput.
📌 Integrated poultry platform supports gradual industry formalisation. MFM's integrated model across farming, processing and distribution positions it to benefit from a gradual shift towards professionally processed, traceable and food-safety-compliant poultry, alongside growing modern trade penetration.
💡M+Global View
📌 We came away positive on MFM's domestic growth runway and export optionality, supported by underutilised poultry processing capacity, higher modern trade penetration and continued expansion into Ready-to-Eat (RTE) products. We also expect a gradual recovery in demand from food service and quick-service restaurant (QSR) customers as boycott-related disruptions ease, which should support volume recovery. With poultry processing capacity targeted at 340,000 birds/day, alongside an enlarged 560.5k tonnes p.a. Malaysia flour milling base, ongoing automation and silo expansion at Lumut, we see scope for further volume growth and efficiency gains as utilisation recovers. The existing processing platform also provides room to pursue new export opportunities as MFM expands its market reach.
📌 Key catalysts include: (i) recovery in food service and QSR demand, (ii) higher utilisation of poultry processing capacity, (iii) continued RTE and value-added product traction, (iv) expansion of own-farming capacity, and (v) further efficiency and storage gains from the Lumut automation and silo expansion.
📌 Key risks include: (i) higher wheat and feed costs, (ii) elevated energy and logistics costs, (iii) slower recovery in domestic food service demand, and (iv) execution delays on poultry capacity, farming and Lumut expansion plans.

M+ Global Market Update – 14Sep26
FOMC Meeting Takes Centre Stage
US: Positioning ahead of the September 15–16 FOMC meeting, coupled with oil prices staying above USD104, we expect Wall Street to trade cautiously. Stock-wise, we favour Vertiv Holdings, a direct beneficiary of continued data centre CapEx scaling by major hyperscalers, driving demand for its liquid cooling units and power distribution architectures. Lastly, with markets pricing in an 87.3% chance of a 25bps rate hike at the upcoming FOMC meeting (vs 59.4% a week ago), selected financial stocks could remain in focus amid expectations of a higher-for-longer rate environment, including Citigroup, Morgan Stanley, and Goldman Sachs.
MY: With global markets focusing on the FOMC meeting and BoJ interest rate decision this week, alongside a shortened local trading week, we expect the FBM KLCI to remain cautious. Glove counters have regained buying interest, underpinned by higher ASPs from Chinese glove makers and stronger ASP projections amid rising raw material and coal prices. This should raise Chinese production costs and reduce aggressive price cuts, easing price-war pressure on local glove counters. However, as valuations are elevated, traders are encouraged to trade on pullbacks. Lastly, we like PENTECH, which is seeing strong growth in cloud and managed services and should benefit from ongoing enterprise digitalisation.
Stocks to watch:
Technology: *ATECH*, D&O, *ECA*, *INFOM*, JHM
