Reduce - TP RM16.78
"Risk from RON95 subsidy rationalisation"
■ 1H24 core net profit of RM518m was 51% of our full-year forecast, broadly in line with expectations since 2H24F could be slightly weaker.
■ This is due to the diesel subsidy rationalisation (effective 10 Jun 2024), and potential RON95 mogas subsidy rationalisation in 2H24F.
■ Reiterate Reduce with unchanged DDM-based TP of RM16.78; PDB makes a bigger gross profit selling RON95 than for diesel, according to the APM.
