Highlights of the day
We initiate coverage on DRB-Hicom Bhd (DRBH),
recommending a Buy with target price of RM3.45. We see strong growth potential
in its automotive division mainly from its collaboration with Volkswagen and
the inclusion of Proton Holdings under its large stable of companies. Although
contribution from the services and property, asset and construction (PAC)
segments are relatively smaller, these businesses will provide the Group with
stable recurring income.
