IHH Healthcare Seen as Defensive Play Despite Policy Risks -- Market Talk

Dow Jones
01/27

0219 GMT - IHH Healthcare is seen as an "effective hedge" against rising policy intervention in Malaysia's private healthcare sector, supported by its geographically diversified earnings, RHB IB analyst Eddy Do says in a note. Valuations and earnings are still expected to grow despite slower growth in constant currency terms in 2026, though reported growth may be weighed by a stronger ringgit, he says. IHH's disciplined execution, regional footprint and focus on higher-income patients should support earnings resilience. Do raises his 2025-2027 earnings estimates on IHH by 4%, 2% and 2.7%, respectively, to factor in a better margin outlook. RHB raises IHH's target price to MYR9.52 from MYR9.14 and maintains a buy rating on the stock. Shares are 0.7% higher at MYR8.72. (yingxian.wong@wsj.com)
