KUALA LUMPUR: Maybank Investment Research has raised the earnings outlook for Hartalega by between 12% and 19% and lifted the target price to RM8.30.
It said on Tuesday, Jan 26 it expects 3QFY10 results are expected to again beat consensus forecasts. It has a Buy call on RM7.77.
“Strong earnings and margins should extend into FY11 before industry capacity catches up and restocking activities abate, potentially impacting ASP (average selling price) and margins in FY12.
“Nevertheless, we think that Hartalega, with its superior technical abilities, should be able to ride this out by raising operating efficiencies. Maintain Buy. Our new TP is DCF-derived,” it said.
