Company Name: FELDA GLOBAL VENTURES HLDG BHD
Research House: PUBLIC BANKPrice Call: HOLDTarget Price: 5.44



Public Investment Bank cut its rating on plantation operator Felda Global Ventures Holdings Bhd to "neutral" from "outperform" after its sugar unit posted disappointing first-half earnings.

MSM Malaysia Holdings Bhd which is 51 percent-owned by Felda Global, posted lower year-on-year earnings due to slumping sales for both its domestic and export markets despite recording a higher average price during the quarter, Public Investment Bank said in a note.

The research house kept Felda Global's target price at RM5.44 per share, adding that there was no "significant re-rating catalysts in sight" for the group.

As of 10.37 am, shares in Felda Global dropped 0.2 percent against the Malaysian benchmark stock index's 0.04 percent rise. -- Reuters
