$EDGENTA / 1368 (UEM EDGENTA BERHAD)
Research by RHB
Neutral – TP of MYR 0.89
“Results Met Expectations; Upgrade To NEUTRAL”
U/G to NEUTRAL from Sell, higher MYR0.89 TP (DCF) from MYR0.84, 1% downside. 1Q24 results were in line at 27% and 21% of our and Street’s estimates. Topline registered 7% YoY growth, aided by ongoing contract recognitions from Singapore and Taiwan, while core margin contracted 0.5ppts – dragged by the infrastructure solutions (IS) segment. We upgrade our UEM Edgenta call on its sequential bottomline turnaround but remain cautious on cost pressure risks, especially diesel subsidy rationalisation.
