Hit by double whammy

It has not been a good year for UEMS thus far. Firstly, it is affected by the slowdown in the domestic property market and the delay in launching its Melbourne project, which led to a 33% downward revision in sales target to MYR1b for 2016 (announced in Aug 2016). Secondly, it is hit by an unexpected additional tax and tax penalty claimed by IRB. We lower our earnings forecasts by -0.3% to -37% to factor in the additional tax payment. Our RNAV-TP is largely unchanged at MYR1.10. Reiterate HOLD.

From a year earlier, values in the three months to October were 5.2% YoY higher. That’s far below a peak of 10% annual growth in March this year, but still “robust,” it said in a statement. The monthly increase lifted average values to GBP 217,411 (USD 269,500). (Source: Bloomberg)
