$LPI / 8621 (LPI CAPITAL BHD)
Research by Kenanga
Outperform – TP of MYR15.00
“Fewer Reserves Needed”
LPI’s 1QFY24 results beat expectations as net claims appeared lower following reversal of past claims provisions, prompting us to raise our FY24F-FY25F earnings by 13%-4%. We see that there could be more intensive competition especially in the fire class insurance segment, but are not overly deterred by LPI’s position, thanks to their backing from a leading bank. We maintain OUTPERFORM call but raise our TP to RM15.00 (from RM14.70) as we roll over our valuations.
