$PWROOT / 7237 (POWER ROOT BERHAD)
Research by CGS
HOLD – TP RM1.45
" Earnings bottomed, but struggles continue”
■ We downgrade PWRT to Hold, as we cut our GGM-based TP by 34% to RM1.45 post-1QFY25 analyst briefing and relook at our assumptions.
■ Despite our positive view on PWRT’s local sales growth from improvement in private consumption, we expect its Middle East sales to continue to struggle.
■ We find PWRT’s implied CY26 P/E multiple of 13x reasonable with its Middle East struggles and higher input costs slowing down its earnings recovery.
