How to Track Bursa Malaysia Announcements in 2026

If you invest in Malaysian stocks, you know the feeling: you check your portfolio, see a stock gapping up or down 10%, and frantically Google what happened — only to discover there was an announcement you missed hours ago.

Bursa Malaysia-listed companies publish thousands of announcements every month. Quarterly results, insider trades, material contracts, dividend declarations, related party transactions — all of it flows through the Bursa Malaysia announcement system. The challenge isn't whether the information is public. It's keeping up with the volume.

This guide covers every method available to Malaysian retail investors for tracking Bursa announcements in 2026, from free manual options to AI-powered tools.

1. The Official Bursa Malaysia Website (Free)

The primary source for all company announcements is Bursa Malaysia's Company Announcements page.

Every listed company must file announcements here. You can filter by:

• Company name or stock code
• Announcement category (financial results, changes in director's interest, material contracts, etc.)
• Date range

Bursa also offers email alerts — you can subscribe to receive notifications when specific companies file new announcements. On individual company profile pages, there's a "follow" button that triggers browser-based notifications as well.

Pros: It's the official source — every announcement appears here first. Free, no account required. Email alerts available for specific companies.

Cons: Email alerts are per-company, so tracking a broad watchlist means subscribing to many individual alerts. The interface shows raw announcement titles with no summaries, so you still need to click through and read each filing yourself. No scoring or analysis of how material an announcement is.

2. Broker Apps and Platforms

Most Malaysian stockbrokers — Rakuten Trade, Maybank Trade, Malacca Securities, CGS-CIMB — include some form of announcement feed within their trading platform.

Depending on your broker, you may get:

• Announcements for stocks in your watchlist or portfolio
• Push notifications for specific companies
• Daily email digests

Pros: Already integrated with your trading account. Some brokers deliver push notifications.

Cons: Coverage varies wildly between brokers. Most only show announcements for stocks you already hold or watch, meaning you won't discover opportunities in companies you're not tracking. No analysis or scoring — just raw announcement titles.

3. KLSE Screener

KLSE Screener is one of the most popular tools among Malaysian retail investors. Their announcements page provides a filterable feed of all Bursa filings with better usability than the official Bursa site.

Features include:

• Filterable announcement feed by category
• Company-level announcement history
• Integration with their stock screener and financial data
• Mobile app (Android and iOS)

Pros: Clean interface, widely used, free tier available, good mobile app.

Cons: Still just lists raw announcements without analysis or summaries. No AI scoring of how material an announcement is. You still need to read each filing yourself to determine if it matters.

4. i3investor

i3investor aggregates Bursa announcements alongside community blogs, analyst reports, and market news.

Pros: Community context — you can see blog posts and discussions around announcements. Large user base.

Cons: Noisy. The signal-to-noise ratio is low because community content varies in quality. No AI analysis or automated scoring.

5. MalaysiaStock.Biz

MalaysiaStock.Biz offers announcement listings, an insider trading tracker, and dividend news. They recently introduced an "AI StockMaster" feature.

Pros: Good insider trading section, dividend tracker, established platform.

Cons: Much of the content is now paywalled (since August 2024). The free tier is limited.

6. Telegram Channels

Several Telegram channels broadcast Bursa announcements. These include broker-run channels (Maybank, Rakuten, Kenanga) and community channels like BursaKakis and Stockbit Malaysia.

Pros: Instant delivery to your phone. Telegram is already widely used by Malaysian investors.

Cons: Most channels broadcast everything with no filtering or analysis. You'll get dozens of messages per day, most of which aren't relevant to your portfolio. Community channels may include speculation and tips alongside factual announcements.

7. AI-Powered Announcement Analysis (Sang Tikam)

This is where the newer generation of tools comes in. Sang Tikam takes a different approach: instead of just listing announcements, it reads every Bursa Malaysia filing with AI, scores each one from -5 (bearish) to +5 (bullish), and delivers a plain-English summary to your Telegram.

Here's how it works:

1. Every filing is scraped — Sang Tikam monitors Bursa Malaysia every few minutes. When a new announcement appears, it's captured automatically.
2. AI reads and scores it — Each announcement is analyzed for sentiment, materiality, and category. Earnings surprises, insider buying patterns, material contracts, related party transactions — all categorized and scored.
3. Alerts hit your Telegram — You set a threshold (e.g., only show me announcements scored +3 or higher), add companies to your watchlist, and let the bot do the rest. No noise, just signal.

Pros: AI scoring means you only see what matters. Plain-English summaries save you from reading dense filings. Watchlist and threshold controls. Delivered via Telegram with no app to install.

Cons: Newer service (launched 2026). AI analysis is probabilistic — it's a tool, not financial advice.

Comparison: Which Method Should You Use?

What Types of Announcements Should You Track?

Not all announcements are created equal. Here are the categories that tend to move stock prices:

• Quarterly financial results — Earnings beats or misses are the single biggest short-term price movers.
• Dividend declarations — Especially surprise dividends or changes in dividend policy.
• Changes in director's interest — When insiders buy their own company's stock with their own money, it's one of the strongest bullish signals.
• Material contracts — New contracts worth >5% of net assets must be announced. These can significantly impact revenue projections.
• Related party transactions (RPTs) — Transactions between the company and its directors or major shareholders. Not always bad, but worth scrutiny.
• Share buybacks — When a company buys its own shares, it often signals management believes the stock is undervalued.
• Corporate restructuring — Mergers, acquisitions, disposals, privatisation offers.
