"The bank will not close the door if the strategic fit comes into the picture," Tajudin says. "From a strategic perspective, it is possible" a deal could happen this year, he says, but doesn't provide details. Dealer says following Hong Leong Bank's (5819.KU) plans to acquire EON Capital's (5266.KU) assets, liabilities to create country's fourth largest lender by assets, "any talk of merger among banks will excite the market...even though there's nothing concrete."

DJ MARKET TALK: AmResearch Downgrades Top Glove To Hold From Buy
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
0810 GMT [Dow Jones] AmResearch downgrades Top Glove (7113.KU) to Hold from Buy, cuts target to MYR12.50 from MYR15.70, based on lower P/E of 13X FY11F earnings on concerns over margin compression. Broker says demand growth for latex gloves has possibly peaked, "should decelerate going forward," with pricing power likely shifting from glove makers to customers; "there could be increased resistance from consumers in accepting higher average selling price going forward." Notes headwinds in higher latex costs, weaker USD vs MYR, both pose risk to margins; house cuts FY11F, FY12F earnings forecast by 8%-10%. "We believe the stock has run its course since 2009, and the lack of earnings upside surprise renders the stock fully valued," AmResearch says. Stock last +0.9% at MYR13.70.
