Kenanga TP RM1.50, details below...

We reiterate our OVERWEIGHT call for the healthcare sector. We expect patient throughput and revenue intensity in private hospitals in both the domestic and international markets to end the year on a high note, driven by a seemingly higher propensity of the population to seek treatment for medical issues post the pandemic. Similarly, we see robust sales of pharmaceuticals and over-the-counter (OTC) drugs backed by increased health awareness. Meanwhile, there is growing adoption of immunotherapy as a cancer treatment method. Over the longer term, the prospects of private healthcare will continue to be underpinned by rising affluence and an aging population. Our top picks are KPJ (OP; TP: RM1.50) and KOTRA (OP; TP: RM7.00).

...

Similarly, KPJ is on track to meet our FY23F patient throughput growth projection of 14% (vs. 12% in FY22) and BOR of 70% (vs. 58% in 2022), driven by the recovery in demand for elective surgeries. Thanks to high patient throughput, two of its new hospitals have turned EBITDA-positive while the other two only recorded small operating losses.

We like KPJ for its pricing power as a private healthcare provider and its strong market position locally with the largest network of 28 private hospitals (vs. 16 of the next largest player IHH). We expect the stock to be re-rated following: (i) the divestment of its loss-making Indonesian operations, and (ii) its newer hospitals turning EBITDA positive post gestation period.

KUALA LUMPUR: Hospitals under IHH Healthcare Bhd and KPJ Healthcare Bhd appear to be going strong despite concerns about rising costs.

This number continues to rise since 2020, and according to Kenanga Investment Bank Bhd’s research team (Kenanga Research), it is expected to reach a total of US$10 trillion by 2026, increasing from US$8.4 trillion in 2022, representing a compound annual growth rate of 3.5 per cent over a five-year period.

IF there is one thing Malaysians take pride in (besides our endless food and racial unity) is definitely the healthcare system.

Based on a survey at research organisation Ipsos, Malaysia currently ranks third next to Switzerland and Singapore, ranking second and first respectively, for their reliable service.

It was reported that 68 per cent of Malaysians respondents said that they trusted the nation’s healthcare system to provide them with the best treatment, with widely accessible information.
