The Ethical Read
Why It Falls Short, in Plain English
CIMB does not clear the screen at the business-activity stage. It operates in conventional financial services, which the screen treats as interest-based, so the financial ratios are not the deciding factor here.
Read as at 2026-10-04. It updates when the underlying figures move, and past reads are kept below.
What the Numbers Say It Is Worth
The Fair Value Range
Our framework reads AVOID: it trades at roughly a 62% discount to our $29.90 fair value.
Fair value range in MYR, drawn from the 2026-09-18 screen. The gold marker is the market price at the same screen. A 62.0% margin of safety to the base estimate.
Third-party analyst targets: 4 covering, consensus None. The average target sits +36% from the screen price.
