M+ Global Market Update – 15Sep26
Wall Street Muted Ahead of FOMC Meeting
US: With Wall Street entering the first day of the September FOMC meeting, coupled with oil prices staying elevated above the USD107/barrel mark, we expect Wall Street to extend its cautious trading sentiment. While Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei and OpenAI leadership called for a deliberate slowdown in frontier LLM development over safety concerns, we view this as a temporary knee-jerk market reaction, creating buy-on-dip opportunities in the tech sector. We continue to favour Marvell Technology (MRVL) despite its pullback, supported by its combined FY27 and FY28 revenue outlook of USD30bn and its custom silicon partnership with Alphabet (GOOGL), while the latter is also favoured due to its Google Cloud acceleration.
MY: Given that the local bourse will be closed tomorrow while the US enters its FOMC meeting later today, we anticipate a softer tone for the FBM KLCI today. Meanwhile, the elevated oil price environment should bode well for chemical-related companies such as LCTITAN and SAMCHEM. While the AI slowdown commentary in the US might temporarily affect sentiment for local technology counters, we continue to favour factory automation solutions provider GREATEC, supported by its RM1.8bn order book, with DC-related jobs now accounting for more than half of its outstanding contracts. The RM1.8bn order book translates into 2.4x FY25 revenue, with management expecting RM2.0bn by year-end.

Good Afternoon All,
Polymer Link Holdings Berhad (Key Takeaways for 3QFY26 Management Meetup)
📦 Core Product Breakdown
📌 General Powder. Raw powder used to melt and shape everyday outdoor items like home water tanks, playground slides, and insulated cooler boxes.
📌 Specialty Powder. Reinforced powder built to endure extreme environments, used for ocean kayaks (UV and seawater resistant), diesel fuel tanks (corrosion resistant), and ship anti-piracy barriers.
📌 Masterbatch. "Coloring and property pods" added into uncolored plastics during production to give final products their specific color hue, UV shield, or extra strength.
📌 Specialty Compounds. Specialized plastic granules tailored for wider manufacturing methods beyond rotational moulding (e.g., injection moulding), allowing Polymer Link to supply broader industrial markets.
📈 Investment Highlights
📌 3QFY26 & 9MFY26 results. Revenue stood stable at RM39.0m (-0.3% YoY, +1.4% QoQ), while reported PATMI surged 48.3% YoY (+136.9% QoQ) to RM3.5m. GP expanded 29.8% YoY to RM10.8m (GP margin: 27.7% vs. 21.3% in 3QFY25) on higher ASPs and a richer product mix. While reported 9MFY26 PATMI contracted 87.4% YoY to RM0.82m due to one-off listing expenses of RM6.0m recognized in 1QFY26, 9MFY26 adjusted PATMI grew 4.7% YoY to RM6.8m.
📌 Riding on regional regulatory tailwinds. Mandatory quality standards in key markets, such as Australia’s strict water tank regulations and India’s diesel fuel tank safety rules, provide steady long-term demand for high-grade specialty powders.
📌 Poland expansion. Establishing a logistics hub in Poland near major Central & Eastern Europe ports to efficiently distribute high-margin specialty products across Europe.
📌 Cost-plus pricing model. Polymer Link operates on a cost-plus pricing framework, enabling the group to pass on rising raw material and energy costs (e.g., oil-derived resin price increases) directly to customers.
📌 Anticipated operating cash flow turnaround. 9MFY26 OCF turned -RM7.4m due to inventory loading for Australia and higher trade receivables in the Philippines. Management expects positive OCF by financial year-end as inventory liquidates and collections resumed.
📌 Balance sheet & dividend. Net assets per share rose to RM0.17. Leverage remains healthy (gearing 0.6x, current ratio 2.6x). Declared an interim dividend of 0.30 sen/share (payable 25 Sep 2026). Payout ratio 50%.
📌 IPO deployment. RM16.9m (69.4%) of RM24.3m IPO proceeds utilized (Australia expansion 91.5% complete). Remaining RM7.4m is earmarked for R&D machinery and European expansion.
💡 M+Global View
📌 Polymer Link’s solid export footprint (94.1% of 3QFY26 sales) and margin expansion to 27.7% reflect stronger ASP & pricing power. Normalization of listing costs clears the earnings overhang for upcoming quarters.
📌 Key catalysts include: (i) execution of Australia capacity expansion, (ii) order recovery in India & Philippines, (iii) European expansion in Poland, and (iv) margin expansion from scaling high-margin Specialty Powders/Compounds.
🎯 We maintain our Fair Value of RM0.35, pegged to a 16x P/E multiple.

Good Evening All,
Following Pan Merchant Berhad's analyst briefing, here is our quick take for investors:
📈 Investment Highlights
📌 Q2 recovery underway; profitability outlook intact. Q2 2026 revenue rose 55% QoQ to RM24.8m, with PBT recovering to +RM252k from -RM5.2m in Q1. 1H2026 revenue fell 28% YoY on softer hermetic filter sales in America and Europe, attributed to geopolitical-driven capex deferrals following the February Middle East conflict. Management expects a return to 2025-level performance in 3Q/4Q2026.
📌 Recurring revenue mix strengthening. Technical Support Services grew to 22.1% of 1H2026 revenue from 17.3% in 1H2025, providing a more stable and recurring revenue base. Group gross profit margin remained resilient at 33.1% in Q2 2026, broadly stable versus 33.5% in Q1.
📌 Healthy orderbook with near-term execution. Orderbook stood at RM78.4m as at 17 August 2026, anchored by the RM26.5m Sungai Rasau water contract and the RM17m membrane filtration contract for a food processing company. Tender book exceeds RM500m across water, edible oil, sustainable fuel and mining, although project timing makes win-rate visibility difficult.
📌 Automation investments ramping up. Plasma welding system installation is expected by October 2026, while the CNC vertical lathe was installed in September and is undergoing testing and calibration. More meaningful cost and productivity benefits are expected from FY2027 as the new equipment reduces outsourcing costs and improves manufacturing efficiency.
💡 M+Global View
📌 PMI's 1H2026 softness appears cyclical rather than structural, mirroring management's experience during the Ukraine war when deferred projects subsequently returned and drove a recovery in hermetic filter sales. With recurring revenue growing, margins holding firm and a RM78.4m orderbook providing execution visibility, we view the underlying business as intact.
📌 Key catalysts include: (i) hermetic filter order recovery as deferred Middle East-related projects resume, (ii) progressive revenue recognition from the Sungai Rasau and food processing contracts, (iii) margin improvement as in-house automation reduces outsourcing dependency from FY2027, and (iv) growing ASEAN water treatment and SAF investment supporting longer-term project opportunities.

M+ Global Market Update – 17Sep26
Fed Hike, Elevated Yields Weigh On Sentiment
US: We expect Wall Street to trade on a mixed footing as investors digest the Fed’s 25bps rate hike and hawkish inflation commentary. While a measured tightening path could provide some relief to growth valuations, elevated oil prices remain an inflationary risk. Intel remains in focus following reports of exploratory talks with SK Hynix to manufacture memory chips in the US, albeit no agreement has been finalised. GE Vernova could benefit from surging demand for gas turbines and power equipment amid AI data-centre expansion, while Bloom Energy remains supported by growing adoption of onsite power solutions for AI infrastructure.
MY: On the domestic front, the FBM KLCI is expected to trade on a mixed footing following overnight weakness on Wall Street, as elevated oil prices, higher Treasury yields and the Fed’s latest rate hike keep risk appetite cautious. YTLPOWR could gain traction securing four additional Siemens Energy gas turbine units, taking total reservations to seven with combined capacity exceeding 5,250MW, supporting its power and data-centre expansion. FRONTKN also warrants attention after its subsidiary acquired an industrial property in Tainan for NT$920m (RM118.2m) to support future capacity needs, while UUE is expanding into EHV substation engineering through a new JV with EGP Energy, positioning it to pursue larger grid infrastructure projects.

M+ Global Market Update – 18Sep26
Easing Yields Drive Wall Street Gains
US: We expect Wall Street to maintain a positive bias as easing Treasury yields and softer oil prices provide some relief to growth valuations, while resilient AI spending continues to support technology sentiment. Nvidia (NVDA) remains in focus amid sustained AI accelerator demand, with Q3 FY27 revenue guided at USD108bn and its Vera Rubin platform ramping into full production. Meanwhile, Palantir (PLTR) should benefit from continued adoption of its AI software across government and enterprise customers, with its Maven platform gaining traction in defence applications. Continued strength in AI infrastructure spending could also support the broader technology sector.
MY: On the domestic front, the FBM KLCI is expected to trade on a stronger footing, tracking overnight gains on Wall Street, with the recovery in global technology stocks providing some support. INARI remains a recovery play on expectations of improving RF utilisation from the September flagship cycle and continued AI-driven photonics demand. We continue to favour FRONTKN, supported by its NT$920m (RM118.2m) acquisition of industrial land and factory buildings in Tainan to accommodate future capacity expansion. Meanwhile, GLOMAC returned to profitability in 1QFY27 with RM7.6m PAT on more than doubled revenue, while BNASTRA posted 2QFY27 PATMI of RM50.6m (+78.1% YoY), with its order book reaching c.RM6.7bn.
Stocks to watch:
Construction: *CBHB*, *JTGROUP*, *SUM*, UUE, XPB, YTL
Technology: CNERGEN, ECA, *NE*, *VITROX*
