KUALA LUMPUR (May 14): CIMB IB Research has downgraded AirAsia Group Bhd (AAGB) from Add to Hold at RM3.70 with a lower target price of RM3.84 (from RM5.31) on the back of higher oil prices and a return to losses at IAA and PAA, exacerbated by the depreciation of the rupiah and peso.

In a note today, the researhc house said that higher oil prices are likely for the foreseeable future, with OPEC’s supply discipline, US production bottlenecks and a likely resumption of Iran sanctions.

“AAGB is exposed as a result of its light fuel hedging book, leading us to downgrade our forecasts and lower our target price accordingly, still based on 12x CY19F P/E.

“We have added an expected 98 sen/share in special dividends to our target price,” it said.

this CIMB investment banker is @#$% emotion driven. The reasons they gave for the downgrade have been factored in even before election. You're a well known hypocrite who would suggest buy and sell at the wrong time. So pls take your 2 cents worth of write up elsewhere.
