Company Update � MSM (HOLD, maintain)


Top Calls

Company Update MSM (HOLD, maintain)

- Not so sweet raw sugar prices

MSM
s 1H16 net profit has already shown signs of being impacted by raw sugar prices as the gross margin dropped by 8.5ppts YoY to 16%. We caution that there might be a chance of further earnings downside, especially in 2017 if raw sugar prices continue to spike. We are still waiting for potential cost benefits to emerge from MSMs Dubai operations. Maintain HOLD rating and TP of RM4.72.


Other Calls

- Industrial production slowed to 3.2% yoy in Sep

Economy GDP & BOP 3Q16

- Higher GDP growth in 3Q16, led by net exports
