Shares of Malaysia's two largest banking giants, Malayan Banking Bhd (Maybank) and CIMB Group Holdings Bhd, performed strongly in Monday's trading, rising 1.2% to RM9.55 and 0.9% to RM6.88 respectively. This surge is primarily attributed to market optimism surrounding their upcoming fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 earnings reports. Analysts widely anticipate robust profitability for both banks, supported by healthy loan growth, improving net interest margins, and stable asset quality. Furthermore, investors are betting on Malaysia's continued economic recovery to further bolster banking activities. As heavyweight constituents of the KLCI, the positive performance of these two banks played a crucial role in the index's overall ascent.
