'In view of the current skittish and volatile market environment, we believe investors are looking for more earnings stability and reliable returns, which Hai-O would not be able to offer at this juncture, in our opinion.
'We are thus ceasing coverage on the stock, with our last recommendation being an Underperform with an unchanged fair value of RM1.35,' it said.
