PLUS - PLUS falls on HwangDBS downgrade

Stock Name: PLUS
Company Name: PLUS EXPRESSWAYS BHD
Research House: HWANGDBS



PLUS Expressways Bhd, Malaysia's biggest toll-road operator, fell the most in almost one month in Kuala Lumpur trading after the Employees Provident Fund and UEM Group Bhd made a RM23 billion buyout offer that valued the company at RM4.60 per share.

Its shares fell 1.1 per cent to RM4.41 at 9.25 am local time, their biggest drop since Sept. 20.

HwangDBS Vickers Research Sdn Bhd downgraded the stock to "hold" from "buy" and said in a report today that there was now limited upside to the stock and investors may want to take profit.

Meanwhile, PLUS was downgraded to "underperform" from "outperform" at RHB Research Institute Sdn Bhd which cut its fair value to match a buyout offer from the Employees Provident Fund and UEM Group Bhd.

The research said in a report today it cut its fair value to RM4.60 from RM4.76. - Bloomberg
