(Kuala Lumpur, 10th) With the significant rise of Malaysian stocks last week, both foreign investors and retail investors chose to sell off. Foreign investors have been withdrawing from Malaysian stocks for the 16th consecutive week, with a net sell of 0.1 billion 69.4 million Ringgit last week.
The Capital Trend report released by MIDF Research shows that although foreign investors continue to withdraw, the pace of net selling Malaysian stocks slowed slightly last week compared to the previous week's 0.5 billion 3.3 million Ringgit.
At the same time, last Friday, foreign investors reversed their trend, significantly net buying 93.2 million Ringgit in Malaysian stocks, ending the streak of 24 consecutive trading days of net selling.
Regarding the first four trading days, foreign investors continued to net sell Malaysian stocks, with a net sell reaching 0.1 billion Ringgit on Monday, and the other three days ranging between 18.5 million to 65.1 million Ringgit.
Last week, the main sectors sold off by foreign investors were Utilities (-0.1814 billion Ringgit), Industrial Products and Services (-92.7 million Ringgit), and Energy (-61.2 million Ringgit).
In contrast, Financial Services (0.1172 billion Ringgit), Construction (0.111 billion Ringgit), and Technology (77.6 million Ringgit) were favored by foreign investors.
On the retail side, there was a pause in the inflow momentum that lasted for four weeks, with a net outflow of 24.8 million Ringgit.
In light of this, local Institutions became the only net buyers of Malaysian stocks, supporting the market for the 16th consecutive week, with a total net buying amount reaching 0.1 billion 94.2 million Ringgit last week.
In terms of participation, the average daily trading volume (ADTV) of foreign capital fell by 8.7%, while local Institutions and retail investors increased their trading activity, growing by 7.8% and 1% respectively.

Yang Zhongli and his mother announced at the end of January the issuance of "non-trading warrants", coinciding with the debut of DEEPSEEK, causing the stock price to plummet, disappointing investors. Some small shareholders urged Yang Zhongli Group's leader Dato' Sri Michael Yang to change the "non-trading warrants" to "tradable warrants".
Yang Zhongli Institutions (YTL 4677) and Yang Zhongli Electrical Utilities (YTLPOWR 6742) announced last month the distribution of "non-trading warrants" at a ratio of 5 to 1, which can be discounted and converted into the parent stock within three years.
This fundraising plan faced strong opposition from institutional investors, forcing some fund managers to sell their holdings in order to comply with internal trading regulations.
According to my understanding, the trading SOP of some funds prohibits the purchase of non-trading securities, therefore, shares must be sold before the plan deviates, causing a sharp drop in stock price.
The latest stock price of Institutions Yang Zhongli is RM1.89, falling by more than 30% compared to the pre-announcement stock price of RM2.39; the latest stock price of Electrical Utilities Yang Zhongli is RM3.04, dropping by over RM1.00 compared to the pre-proposal of RM4.05.
A senior investor pointed out that small shareholders should now collectively write to the public relations department of Yang Zhongli Group to express strong dissatisfaction and opposition to the company's plan regarding the warrants.
Retail investors should also take autonomous action to complain to the Malaysian Exchange about the unfairness of the token plan by the Yang Zhongli Group towards small shareholders.
At the same time, small shareholders should actively attend the Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) of Yang Zhongli and his mother, cast dissenting votes, and prevent major shareholders from doing so.
