KUALA LUMPUR (March 9): The ‘MY Value Up’ programme will be introduced to prioritise value creation, bolster financial performance and raise visibility of public listed companies (PLCs) in Malaysia, a nod to the success of factor-based investing that has bolstered stock valuation in South Korea, Singapore and Japan. The move, it said, will be supported by increased transparency and communication on corporate plans and performance with a view to stimulating greater investor interest and market activity. “This would, in turn, reinforce Malaysia’s position as a regional gateway and as an Islamic hub for ethical and sustainable products.”According to the CMP4, PLCs will be classified into several groups to address different valuation challenges. For undervalued but fundamentally sound PLCs, targeted disclosures and announcements will be encouraged to improve visibility and address market mispricing. For low-velocity PLCs, initiatives will also be introduced to improve liquidity with the aim of driving up investor participation.
