MCE Holdings Outlook: Perodua QV-E Battery Leasing Raises Near‑Term Questions, but New Revenue Streams Point to Stronger Quarters

Investors tracking MCE Holdings Bhd (MCEHLDG) are weighing two forces moving in opposite directions as of 19 December 2025: near-term uncertainty around Perodua’s new EV battery leasing model—a structure still unfamiliar to many Malaysian buyers—versus a widening pipeline of new revenue streams, fresh model launches, and capacity expansion that analysts believe could lift earnings into 2026 and beyond.

Platinum prices are extending a standout 2025 rally on Tuesday, December 16, 2025, with spot quotes hovering around the $1,800–$1,830 per ounce zone in early trading—levels last seen in 2011. Data from major bullion dealers showed spot platinum around $1,828/oz in the morning (U.S. time), up roughly 1.6% over 24 hours.

In one of the day’s most closely watched macro setups, Reuters reported that investors were positioned cautiously ahead of delayed U.S. jobs data, while platinum still pushed higher—helped by both tight-physical-market narratives and fresh focus on European auto-policy decisions that
