Malaysia Consumer Staples - Overall
Seeking resiliency amidst high inflationWe downgrade the consumer sector to Neutral as we expect weakness in
consumer spending and further margin pressure for consumer companies.
In 2H22F, we believe that consumers are likely to focus their spending on
daily necessities rather than discretionary items.
In view of this, we prefer staples (QL, FFB, and KFB), while we think MR DIY
as a ‘value retailer’ could be a beneficiary of further consumer downtrading.
