Malaysia brand values rise, Petronas maintains top position
Petronas retained its
position as the country’s most valuable brand for the 16th consecutive
year, despite a 4 percent decline in brand value to USD 13.8 billion. The
energy giant continued to rely on stable upstream operations and long-term
investments in energy transition projects, even as global oil prices softened.
Genting held second place
after posting a 23 percent increase in brand value to USD 6 billion, supported
by stronger tourism recovery and improved regional demand. Maybank remained
third, with its brand value rising 4 percent to USD 5.4 billion, driven by
steady earnings growth and disciplined cost management across its regional
operations.
Among the fastest-growing
names, 100PLUS recorded a sharp 166 percent surge in brand value, reflecting
strong consumer demand and brand momentum in the beverage sector.
The report also
highlighted improving performance among infrastructure and logistics players.
Westports saw a 21 percent increase in brand value, supported by higher
container volumes and expansion plans, while MISC benefited from stronger
profitability in energy shipping services.
In terms of brand
strength, Genting ranked highest with a near-perfect score and AAA+ rating,
followed closely by Tenaga Nasional and Proton, both also receiving AAA+
ratings.
