MIDF Research raised its target price on Gas Malaysia Bhd to RM3.11 from RM2.84 after the gas provider's nine-month earnings came in above market expectations.

"As of yesterday's closing (RM2.62 per share), Gas Malaysia could still provide investors with a dividend yield of 4.5 percent and 4.3 percent for the financial year ending Dec.
31, 2012 (FY12) and FY13 respectively," the research house said in a note on Thursday.

Maintaining "buy" on the counter, MIDF said it was increasing its FY12 and FY13 earnings forecasts by 7.8 percent and 9.5 percent, respectively.

However, the counter declined 0.38 percent by 0134 GMT, underperforming the benchmark stock index's 0.17 percent drop. -- Reuters
