MALAYSIA BUDGET 2025

♨️ Fresh from Oven - An Update from UOB Kay Hian ♨️

Equity-market related - Dividend Tax
The government plans to progressively broaden the tax base by introducing a 2% dividend tax on dividend income exceeding RM100k received by individual shareholders, starting from the assessment year of 2025. This initiative is being implemented to ensure that income tax collected does not solely rely on contributions from wage earners but also includes contributions from company owners and individuals with million-ringgit shareholdings.

____________

Construction Sector Flash Update 🏗️
Key Takeaways from Budget 2025

- As anticipated, nothing significant/share-price moving catalysts for the construction sector from Budget 2025.

- Firstly, government’s development expenditure shrank from RM90b (Budget 2024) to RM86b; -4.4%.

- That said, including RM9b Private Finance Initiatives (PFIs) and RM25b direct domestic investment from GLICs, public development expenditure for 2025 will be RM120b.

- Notably, Prime Minister Anwar highlighted that it’s not time for massive mega-projects roll-out yet (as we pointed out earlier), and government will be focusing more on social infrastructure or developments for key industrial areas (by states).

- Some notable projects highlighted were i) Johor-SG RTS (commencing operation in 2027); ii) expansion of Kulim Hi-tech park Kedah (to cater for semicon players like Infineon); iii) Penang LRT; iv) Penang Airport Expansion.

- No MRT3, Johor LRT/ART mentioned…

- Just a bit on flood mitigation projects, including Sungai Kelantan Phase 2 and Sungai Damansara. Out of 33 projects which was earlier estimated to be worth RM11.8b?

- To add on, development expenditure for Sabah and Sarawak are raised to amongst the highest within states at RM6.7b & RM5.9b (2024: RM6.6b & RM5.8b).

- ⁠Pan Borneo Phase 1B project already doled out 17 packages worth RM9.7b earlier, while Sabah - Sarawak Link Road (SSLR) phase 2 worth RM7.4b in total will announce another 2 packages around year end.

Summary 🌟:
Nothing meaningful, mega projects doesn’t seem to be government’s current focus, except selected fews like Penang LRT, Johor RTS and Pan Borneo 1B. Hopefully more momentum on mega-projects roll-out after potential removal of Ron 95 subsidies(in phases) in mid-2025.

____________

Gaming Sector Flash Update 🎰
Key Takeaways from Budget 2025

- No takeaways as nothing mentioned on gaming in Budget 2025.

- No gaming tax hike, No higher tax, No special draw cuts (for NFOs).

- This is however, positive to the sector as concerns on further detrimental policies from the government on gaming companies to increase tax base are allayed.

- Given that sector is already trading at depressed valuations, sentiment may re-rate especially lush dividends for gaming companies are usually backloaded to 2H24.

____________

Property Sector Flash Update 🎰
Key Takeaways from Budget 2025

- Mostly extension from previous budget on affordable housing scheme like RM900m allocated for Residensi Rakyat Programs (PRR) and Rumah Mesra Rakyat projects, Government guarantees RM12.8b for housing loans, helping over 57,000 first-time homebuyers, with an additional RM10b planned for further financing.

- No mention of LRT/ART Johor or JSSEZ incentives details

- No mention of housing grant as what we expected

- The only key item for property sector is property tax relief. Tax relief on interest payments for homes valued up to RM500,000 (up to RM7,000) and homes between RM500,000 and RM750,000 (up to RM5,000), available for three consecutive years.

Session 1 • Uncovering Exciting Laggards
Presented by Keith Wee, Associate Director, Financials, UOB Kay Hian

The KL Finance index has outperformed the FBMKLCI by 7ppt ytd fueled by a surge in net foreign inflows. Given that sector valuations of 1.25x PBV is currently trading at a relatively rich +1 Standard Deviation (SD) above its historical mean P/B (1.13x) we advocate investors switching to laggards within the sector.

Session 2 • Finding Magic In The Mundane
Presented by Desmond Chong, Head of Research, UOB Kay Hian

The modern adage "wake me up when September ends" continues to resonate as the local market adopts a risk-off stance ahead of the US presidential election in November.
