My Portfolio Dec25

Summary of December 2025

Portfolio @ End of Dec25

 

Year 2025 is a superb year for stock markets in almost the whole world, but not for Malaysia.

After suffering loss in the first 11 months, KLCI managed to end the year in positive territory with a 2.3% gain, thanks to a late push of the index stocks in December. 

However, most small and mid cap stocks suffered badly.

For investors who invest in US stock market, it seems to be a good harvest year. An annual return of 20-30% should be easily within reach.

The S&P 500 advanced 16.4% in 2025, but it still "underperformed" compared to other major markets in the world.

The Vanguard FTSE All-World ex-US ETF registered a remarkable annual return of 32.3% in 2025. It just shows how bullish year 2025 was.

Can Insights Analytics Conquer West Malaysia?

 

Insights Analytics Berhad (IAB) made a successful debut in the ACE market on 27 Oct25.

Its share price opened at 62sen, which was 72% higher than its IPO 36sen and reached a height of 73sen. It closed at 65.5sen with an impressive 82% gain on day one.

On 7 Nov25, its share price has rallied to 81.5sen.

IAB is a Sarawak-based water technology solution provider established in 2003.

Its IPO price of 36sen seems reasonable with a PE ratio of 10.4 based on FYE2025 (ended Apr25) PAT of RM19mil and enlarged shares of 550mil after IPO.

However, there was a 175% jump in PAT from RM6.9mil in FY24 to RM19mil in FY25, which might make some investors cautious.
