Quick answer
Malayan Banking Berhad (Maybank) is the most valuable company on Bursa Malaysia, with a market capitalisation of about RM148 billion (US$36.3 billion) based on market data captured 13 July 2026 by Malaysia's Top Ten. Public Bank (≈RM95 billion) and CIMB Group (≈RM82 billion) complete the top three, underlining how heavily banking dominates the Malaysian market.
- Four of the ten largest Bursa Malaysia companies are banks: Maybank, Public Bank, CIMB and Hong Leong Bank.
- Maybank's market capitalisation (≈RM148 billion) is larger than the ninth and tenth companies combined.
- The list spans six sectors: banking, utilities, healthcare, aluminium, plantations and petrochemicals.
- Energy-transition and data-centre demand is lifting utilities — Tenaga Nasional and YTL Power both make the top ten.

Market capitalisation — share price multiplied by shares outstanding — is the stock market's running estimate of what a listed company is worth. It changes every trading day, which is why this ranking states its capture date and will be re-captured at each update.
The list below reflects Bursa Malaysia's character: banks carry the index, national utilities remain heavyweights, and a handful of globally competitive industrial names — an aluminium smelter, a plantation giant, a hospital group — round out the top ten.

What does market capitalisation mean and how is it calculated?
Market capitalisation is a listed company's share price multiplied by its total shares outstanding — the stock market's running valuation of the whole company. It changes every trading day as the share price moves, so any ranking by market capitalisation is a snapshot of a stated date.
Is this ranking of Malaysian companies investment advice?
No. This is a data ranking published for general information by Malaysia's Top Ten. Market capitalisation measures size as valued by the market, not quality or investment merit. Consult a licensed financial adviser before making investment decisions.
How this ranking was produced
- Metric: market capitalisation (share price × shares outstanding), in ringgit. RM figures are approximations converted from US-dollar data at USD/MYR 4.07 (rate of 10 July 2026) and rounded to the nearest RM billion.
- Candidate pool: all companies listed on Bursa Malaysia's Main Market (approximately 800 companies).
- Data source and capture date: companiesmarketcap.com aggregated market data, captured 13 July 2026; order cross-checked against an independent published list (Dividend Magic, 2026 update). Company facts verified against each company's public materials.
- Ties: none occurred at this capture; a tie would be listed jointly.
- What this ranking does not measure: profitability, financial health or investment merit — a big market value is not a quality verdict.
Notable exclusions
Candidates considered but not ranked, and why:
- PETRONAS (parent company) — Malaysia's largest company outright, but not listed on Bursa Malaysia — only listed entities are eligible. Its listed subsidiaries (PETRONAS Chemicals, Petronas Gas, Petronas Dagangan) compete individually.
- MISC Berhad — ≈US$8.66 billion at capture — immediately below #10 PETRONAS Chemicals (US$8.78 billion). The closest miss on the list.
- Sunway Berhad — ≈US$8.62 billion at capture, just behind MISC; both would enter the list on a modest market move.
- Banks below the cut — RHB, AmBank and Bank Islam are substantial but sat well below the top-ten threshold at capture.
