Malaysia Banking Stable loan growth in Aug 2025
NEUTRAL on sector Generally, the bank stats for August point to a stable operating environment for the banks, with fairly decent loan growth thus far of 5.4% YoY, and stable asset quality. Deposit growth, however, continues to lag loan growth, but that CASA growth is faster than deposit growth, is encouraging. BUYs maintained on HLBK, AMMB, PBK and HLFG.

CapitaLand Investment ($2.69, up 1 cent) and SC Capital Partners have launched an industrial development fund focused on the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region, comprising Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Bahrain, Oman, Qatar and Kuwait. CLI’s market cap stands at S$13.4bln and currently trades at 20.5x forward PE and 1.1x PB, with a dividend yield of 4.5%. Consensus target price stands at S$3.40, representing 26.4% upside to current share price. We remain constructive on CLI given its ongoing monetisation efforts to reduce matured assets and re-cycle capital into faster growing platforms to help generate recurring and higher ROE income streams. Coupled with a dovish environment, we maintain BUY on CLI.

LHN’s ($0.93, down 0.5 cents) co-living business Coliwoo has lodged a preliminary prospectus for a listing on the mainboard of the Singapore Exchange. LHN’s market cap stands at $397.5mln and currently trades at 10.6x forward PE and 1.5x PB, with a dividend yield of 2.2%. Consensus target price stands at S$1.15, representing 23.7% upside from current share price. We understand that despite the spin-off of Coliwoo, management remains confident that the income loss from the spinoff can be off set by contributions from the new openings of LHN’s Middle Road property as well as the resort-style Loyang properties near “Down-Town East”. The newly raised funds from the IPO of Coliwoo would also come in handy to power up the future growth prospects of LHN and finally, we think that the proactive stance of management suggests further rewards for shareholders in terms of higher normal dividends and also potential special distributions from the spin-off of Coliwoo. We maintain an “Accumulate” rating on LHN due to its still robust prospects ahead and unlocking of value for shareholders. |
