§ Parkson Holdings (Results Review): 4QFY12: Within expectations but risks
loom ahead (Downgrade to SELL from HOLD, TP: RM4.35) [download
report]
FY12 results came in within expectations. However, we
believe that positives have been priced into the stock at this juncture, with
growing downside risk from slower-than-expected sales at Parkson Holdings’ China retail stores as domestic consumer
spending may remain subdued with China
