Malaysia's latest corporate earnings season kicks off
KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia's quarterly corporate earnings season is underway, with listed companies on Bursa Malaysia beginning to release their second quarter (Q2) results throughout August. Investors and traders are keenly watching the financial disclosures to recalibrate their strategies amid a mix of macroeconomic resilience and evolving sector-specific dynamics. Rakuten Trade said early indicators point to continued strength in banking, technology, consumer and utilities. Select counters are expected to deliver resilient earnings, supported by stable demand, cost optimisation and regional tailwinds. Banks are likely to benefit from sustained interest income strength. Meanwhile, technology stocks especially those linked to global semiconductor and AI value chains are showing early signs of recovery. "Our initial review of Q2 results and guidance from key players shows encouraging signs in financial services and selected export-oriented technology stocks," said Kenny Yee, head of research at Rakuten Trade. "With the ringgit remaining relatively stable and consumer sentiment improving, we also anticipate a moderate rebound in consumer-facing stocks. "Traders should closely track updates from banking heavyweights, large-cap tech, and staple consumer names to position for medium-term growth," Yee added. Among early reporters this quarter, Fraser & Neave Holdings Bhd posted a 15.16 per cent year-on-year decline in Q2FY25 net profit to RM140.3 million. This was attributed to higher tax expenses, startup losses from its dairy operations, and softer revenue. Westports Holdings Bhd's Q2FY25 net profit grew 15 per cent YoY to RM231 million thanks to higher throughput. Axis-REIT's net income rose 20.5 per cent YoY to RM46.9 million, driven by higher property income. Meanwhile, Hartalega Holdings Bhd's Q1 2026 net profit dipped 60 per cent YoY to RM12.6 million due to weaker average selling prices, stronger ringgit and lower capacity utilisation. With investor sentiment expected to fluctuate throughout August, Rakuten Trade encourages market participants to leverage its digital-first trading platform to capture opportunities across both local and foreign markets. "We expect this earnings season to stir market activity, creating timely opportunities for traders. "As Malaysia's first fully digital equity broker, Rakuten Trade offers the most competitive brokerage fees in the market, with fees starting as low as RM1 per trade," said Kazumasa Mise, chief executive officer of Rakuten Trade.

India braces for hit to $64 billion US exports amid rising tensions with Washington

REUTERS/Amit Dave/File Photo NEW DELHI (Reuters) -India expects to lose a competitive advantage in about $64 billion worth ofgoods exported to the U.S. due to President Donald Trump's 25% tariff and an assumed 10% penalty for buying Russian oil, four sources told Reuters citing an internal assessment report by the government. India faces its most serious diplomatic crisis with the United States in years after Trump imposed the highest tariffs among Asian peers on goods imported from India, even before anypenalty. A relatively low share of exports in India's $4 trillion economy is seen limiting the direct impact on growth to 40 basis points. The Reserve Bank of India left its GDP growth forecast for the current April-March financial year unchanged at 6.5% and held rates steady on Wednesday despite the uncertainty created by tariff hikes. The trade impact estimates wereprepared by the Indian government after Trump announced the unexpectedly high tariff for Indian goods, along with the unspecified penalty. The Indian government in its assessment report has assumed a 10% penalty for buying Russian oil, taking the tariff to 35%, the four Indian government sources told Reuters. They declined to be identified because they were not authorised to speak to media. India's trade ministry did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Trump said on Wednesday his administration will decide on the penalty for buying Russian oil post the outcome of U.S. efforts to seek a last minute breakthrough in the Ukraine war. U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff is in Moscow, two days before the expiry of a deadline set by Trump for Russia to agree to peace or face new sanctions. The impact of the tariff and possible penalty will be on nearly $64 billion worth of India's exports to U.S that account for about 80% of total exports to the country, and it will lead to 'potential export losses' due to price disadvantages, the four sources said. The internal assessment report is the government's initial estimate and will change as the quantum of tariff by Trump becomes clear, all four sources said. India exported goods estimated at around $81 billion in 2024 to the U.S., including garments, pharmaceuticals, gems and jewellery, and petrochemicals, according to government data. The South Asian nation's goods exports to U.S. constituted 2% of GDP in 2024. Its total goods exports globally were at $443 billion in 2024. The proposed tariffs on India's high-value exports face "erosion of price competitiveness encountering intensified rivalry from countries subject to lower duties," two sources said citing the internal assessment. RUSSIA IN FOCUS India's National Security Adviser Ajit Doval is in Russia on a scheduled visit and is expected to discuss India's purchases of Russian oil in the wake of Trump's pressure on India to stop buying Russian crude, according to a government source. His visit will be followed by Foreign Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar in the weeks to come, amid India's attempts to placate Washington's concerns while balancing historical ties with Moscow. Doval is expected to discuss India's defence collaboration with Russia, including getting faster access to the pending units of S400 air defence system and President Vladimir Putin's visit to India. India's foreign ministry did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
