After the group's results for 1HFY2023 came in within expectations, Kenanga Research expects the earnings pattern seen during the period to continue holding up in the coming quarters.

The research house has maintained its “add” rating on Malayan Cement at RM3.25 with a higher target price of RM5.55 (from RM5.08) and raised the company’s earnings per share by 4% for the financial year 2023 (FY2023), by 32% for FY2024 and by 29% for FY2025.

The group saw quarterly revenue grow 12.65% to RM394.63 million from RM350.31 million on the back of improved performance across all business segments.

The default by the group's indirect wholly-owned units, Mines Waterfront Business Park Sdn Bhd and Mines International Exhibition Centre Sdn Bhd, were in respect of a charge created as security for the financing facilities.
