Malayan Banking (MYL1155OO000) lifted second-quarter net profit 2.40 percent year over year to MYR 2.69 billion, while its market capitalization stood at MYR 120.8 billion on September 30, 2026. The figures show stronger fee income offsetting weaker market-related revenue, but first-half profit remained lower than a year earlier.

Fee income strengthens earnings

According to The Asian Banker on September 1, 2026, second-quarter profit also increased 8.50 percent from the previous quarter to MYR 2.69 billion. Six-month net profit fell 0.90 percent to MYR 5.17 billion, leaving return on equity at 11.60 percent against full-year guidance of at least 11.80 percent.

Fee businesses supplied the clearest positive comparison. Wealth management fees rose 61.50 percent year over year to MYR 490 million in the second quarter of 2026, while investment banking-related fees increased 58.40 percent to MYR 440 million.

Funding mix becomes more important

Current and savings account deposits grew 7.60 percent year over year, lifting their share of total deposits to 41.50 percent from 37.80 percent, according to The Asian Banker. Loans increased 2.70 percent year over year to MYR 695.9 billion, or 4.60 percent excluding currency movements, within the bank's full-year guidance of 4.00 percent to 5.00 percent.

The improvement has a counterweight. Global markets income fell 51.90 percent year over year, while second-quarter non-interest income declined 9.60 percent to MYR 2.49 billion. The loan-to-deposit ratio also rose to 94.70 percent from 90.20 percent, making funding quality a central measure for the rest of 2026.

Stock remains below yearly high

Malayan Banking trades on Bursa Malaysia under the MAYBANK.KL ticker, according to Global Banking & Finance Review. The stock was quoted at MYR 9.99 on September 30, 2026, against a 52-week range of MYR 9.83 to MYR 12.42, while the average analyst target was MYR 11.86, according to Investing.com.

The next earnings report is scheduled for November 25, 2026, according to Investing.com. That date places the next major test on whether fee growth and lower credit costs can offset pressure on margins and market income.
