Reduce – TP RM4.01
“A lot of optimism already in the share price"
■ 1H24 core net profit of RM408m was broadly in line at 49% of our full-year forecast; 2H24F could be slightly stronger as volumes could pick up hoh.
■ Downgrade from Hold to Reduce with an unchanged DCF-based TP of RM4.01; the share price may be subject to profit taking after a strong run.
■ Investors need to contend with elevated market expectations of an imminent container tariff hike announcement, increasing the risks of holding the shares.
