Analysis

Malaysia Steel Works (KL) Bhd., (5098) currently trades at 0.2250 MYR, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is 0.2387 MYR, implying the stock looks roughly 6.1% fairly valued today. The Quality Score stands at 34/100 (below-average quality), in the Basic Materials sector. Bull case: trading below our estimate, it may offer upside if the fundamentals hold. Bear case: a low price can be a value trap when quality is weak or the data is thin (evidence: medium), always confirm before acting.

Over the trailing twelve months, Malaysia Steel Works (KL) Bhd., generated revenue of 2.8B MYR at a net margin of 0.3%. Revenue grew 30.3% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 0.9%. Net debt stands at 577M MYR. Fundamentals as of Jul 16, 2026

Our scenario range runs from 0.1790 MYR (bear case) to 0.2984 MYR (bull case); at 0.2250 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 about 31% below its 52-week high and 7% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Basic Materials peers we cover trades at -7% fair-value upside, at 6%, 5098 screens cheaper 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
