Economic Moats Cost Advantage Even if MAYBANK enjoys high net profit margin, MAYBANK (in fact, all banks) is facing Net Interest Margin compression. Analysts forecasts that NIM compression will persist in 213 and 214. Also, analysts predict that credit costs will rise going forward. Switching Costs Consumer switching costs are also quite low as consumers can change their preferred bank easily. Not to mention attractive refinancing offers provided by other banks.

I will closely monitor this counter to accumulate more shares. I will wait for good bargained price or enter by using Technical Analysis. L. C. Chong Page 6 of 14 http://lcchong.wordpress.com
