what happened
Analyst Toh Woo Kim of Hong Leong Investment Bank expects the third-quarter reporting season for Malaysian tech companies to look much like the previous quarter, with solid fundamentals and firm demand supporting earnings. He points to AI investment, China+1 diversification, supply-chain localization and new customer wins as the main drivers.
He warns that higher bond yields, elevated oil prices and a hawkish outlook from the U.S. Federal Reserve could keep markets volatile. Last quarter, technology stocks fell even though major tech and semiconductor companies reported strong results.
Hong Leong maintains an overweight rating on the Malaysian tech sector. Its top picks are Vitrox, UWC, SAM Engineering & Equipment (M) and Itmax System.
why it matters
The outlook matters for investors in Malaysian equities, since the tech sector carries weight in the local market and depends on global chip and electronics demand. The main risk to valuations is tighter U.S. monetary policy and rising yields.
