Hold (Previously: Add) – Target Price RM0.38
“Moving from costs issues to price pressures”
■ Stiff competition from foreign players for kitchen towel and toilet roll products to lead to core loss in FY4/24F before rebounding in FY25F/FY65F.
■ Despite cost stabilisation playing out as expected, our thesis of margin recovery is hampered by lower selling prices of toilet rolls and kitchen towels.
■ Downgrade to Hold, with a lower GGM-based TP of RM0.37. This note marks the transfer of coverage to Lew Cheng Wei.
