Westports Holdings Bhd's core net profit for financial years 2024 and 2025 is to be lacklustre at RM737 million and RM716 million, respectively, due to lower revenue from value-added services, higher operating costs and an increase in lease expenses. Affin Hwang Investment Bank (Affin Hwang) said that although the firm is mildly optimistic about the signing of the Third Supplemental Privatisation Agreement (Third SA) with the government and Port Klang Authority and expects the project to be long-term earnings accretive, it believes the project may affect Westports' medium-term earnings.

Independent advisor Malacca Securities said the takeover offer price of RM1.55 for Boustead Plantation Bhd (BPlant) by Lembaga Tabung Angkatan Tentera (LTAT) is “not fair” but “reasonable” and recommended that shareholders accept the offer. Malacca Securities said while the offer price represents a deep discount of RM1.05 or 40.4% to the planter’s real net asset value (RNAV) of RM2.60, it also gives an exit opportunity to investors.

Hong Leong Investment Bank (HLIB) Research has maintained its “buy” call on Ancom Nylex Bhd, a manufacturer and seller of chemical products, and a target price of RM1.65 based on 17.5 times forecast financial year 2024 (FY2024F) of earnings per share. In a research note on Monday, HLIB Research highlighted that it likes Ancom Nylex for its niche of being the sole large-scale producer of active ingredients for herbicides in Southeast Asia, as well as its strong earnings growth potential, driven by a pipeline of new active ingredients to be rolled out.
