Malaysia
MMHE 1QFY12 net profit of RM78.3m came within house
and market expectations made up 21% and 22% of full year estimates
respectively. We view that its congested yard and slow orderbook replenishments
making its current trading PE of 21x of FY12 EPS is unjustifiably rich.
Maintain SELL with unchanged TP of RM4.21..
