Maintain HOLD with lower MYR0.60 TP. 1Q12 results disappointed, prompting a 23-27% cut in our FY12-13 earnings estimates and a 34% cut in TP to MYR0.60. With the share price down 32% YTD, Alam now trades at 0.8x PBV (below -1SD of its historical mean), suggesting an opportunity to buy at cheap valuations.
