The idea is straightforward. Under the “MY Value Up” programme, introduced as part of the Capital Market Masterplan 2026-2030 (CMP4) unveiled last week, companies will be encouraged to disclose clearer value-creation strategies and key performance metrics such as return on equity (ROE), return on invested capital (ROIC) and total shareholders’ return, while strengthening engagement with shareholders.
For years, many companies on Bursa Malaysia have faced the same frustration: While they are profitable and fundamentally strong, their valuations trail those of their regional peers.
The Securities Commission Malaysia (SC) is seeking to close the gap with a programme that encourages public listed companies (PLCs) to sharpen their focus on value creation, boost capital efficiency and communicate more clearly with investors.
