From 6 valuation models · updated today

Fair value updated Aug 14, 2026, revised from 4.84 MYR to 4.47 MYR (−7.6%) since Jul 11, 2026. Share price +2.2% over the past month.

A solid business, but screening 13% overvalued on our models.

What matters now

  • Solid but not exceptional quality (56/100) and above fair value, neither a clear bargain nor a standout compounder.
  • For a financial, book-value and earnings-based methods matter more than a cash-flow DCF, which fits banks and insurers poorly.

Analysis

Public Bank Berhad (1295) currently trades at 5.16 MYR, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is 4.47 MYR, implying the stock looks roughly 13.4% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 56/100 (solid quality), in the Financial Services sector. Bear case: priced above our estimate, the market already discounts strong expectations. Bull case: above-average quality can justify a premium, the entry price still matters most (evidence: high).

Over the trailing twelve months, Public Bank Berhad generated revenue of 14.7B MYR at a net margin of 49.2%. Revenue grew 1.0% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 12.3%. The balance sheet holds a net cash position of 7.7B MYR. Fundamentals as of Aug 14, 2026

Our scenario range runs from 3.36 MYR (bear case) to 5.59 MYR (bull case); at 5.16 MYR, the current price sits within that range. Bear and bull are the same models run on conservative and optimistic assumptions (margins, growth, valuation multiples), so a plausible valuation range, not a price target. The share trades near its 52-week high and 30% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Financial Services peers we cover trades at 47% fair-value upside, at -13%, 1295 screens richer than that median.

Fair Value models

Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted blend. Evidence (0–100) measures how completely this model’s inputs are available: well-fed models carry more weight in the blend. The spread across models is intentional, each one stresses a different value driver; dividend models, for instance, come out structurally low when payout is small.

Model Bear Bear = the cautious scenario: the same model computed with conservative anchors (lower growth, margins and valuation multiples). Together with Bull it frames a plausible valuation range, not a price target.BaseBull Bull = the optimistic scenario: the same model computed with favourable anchors (higher growth, margins and valuation multiples). Together with Bear it frames a plausible valuation range, not a price target. Evidence
