IHH Healthcare's outlook appears positive, given its robust expansion plan, Public Investment Bank analyst Thye May Ting says in a note. This includes its acquisition of Island Hospital, which is projected to deliver over MYR200 million in synergies over the next five years, she says. IHH's focus on organic and inorganic expansion, along with optimizing assets that are underperforming, positions the company well for future growth, she notes. Its efforts to enhance efficiency through digitization and value-based healthcare initiatives could equip IHH to navigate macroeconomic challenges, she adds. Public IB raises IHH's target price to MYR8.64 from MYR7.68, while maintaining an outperform rating on the stock. Shares are 0.1% lower at MYR7.22.(yingxian.wong@wsj.com)
