Affin upgrades MISC to 'trading buy'

Stock Name: MISC
Company Name: MISC BHD
Research House: AFFINPrice Call: TRADING BUYTarget Price: 4.70



Affin Investment Bank upgraded MISC Bhd to "trading buy" from "reduce" with a target price of RM4.70 per share, citing undemanding valuations for the shipping firm.

"MISC's share price has plunged by more than 40 percent (over the last one year) falling to a low of RM3.94 a share yesterday, which implied an attractive valuation...," the broker said in a research note on Thursday.

Affin said it believed the recent strong selling is excessive and could be propelled by foreign investors.

MISC reported a net loss of RM465.08 million for its first quarter ended March 31, 2012 dragged down by losses from the liner, petroleum and chemical segments. -- Reuters
