YTL Power International: Downgrade to Hold - Dismal dividends; downgrade to Hold

Stock Name: YTLPOWR
Company Name: YTL POWER INTERNATIONAL BHD

Dividends disappoint again. YTLP's results were within expectations. That said, we are disappointed that it declared a second interim tax exempt DPS of only 0.9375sen or -50% QoQ as it conserves cash for M&As. We slash our dividend forecasts which now imply just 2.5% net yield. We also downgrade the stock to a Hold as there is currently only an 8% upside potential and with dividends unlikely to surprise to the upside. We tweak our DCF-based TP to RM2.05 (+1%).
