On February 5, 2026, Malayan Banking Bhd (Maybank, stock code: 1155), Malaysia's largest bank, saw its share price climb by 12 sen or 1.2% to close at RM9.40. This upward movement was primarily fueled by optimistic market sentiment surrounding its upcoming fourth-quarter FY2025 earnings release. Analysts widely anticipate Maybank to report robust profit growth, benefiting from its continuously improving net interest margins (NIM) and well-managed asset quality. Despite a generally cautious market, Maybank's blue-chip status and solid fundamentals attracted buying interest. Other banking stocks like Public Bank Bhd also saw a slight gain of 0.5%, while CIMB Group Holdings Bhd remained flat. Maybank's attractive dividend yield and consistent payout policy also make it a preferred choice for investors seeking stable returns.
