(STMB MK/BUY/RM4.01/Target: RM4.60)

Syarikat Takaful Malaysia Bhd (STMB) reported a commendable set of 1Q17 results that beat estimates on the back of strong Family Takaful premium growth and lowerthanexpected claims ratio. The stock has retraced 11% ytd despite having consistently surpassed industry premium growth trends. Following our earnings upgrade, we raise our target price from RM4.40 to RM4.60 (4.55x 2017F P/B, 18.4x PE) and upgrade our recommendation to BUY.
