0807 GMT - Praram 9 Hospital's 1Q earnings are likely to rise slightly on year, says DBS Group Research's Sasikarn Udomvej in a note. Strong momentum in international markets, especially Qatar, and new markets with more self-paying patients such as the United Arab Emirates and Kuwait, are likely to boost the Thai hospital operator's 1Q earnings, she says. The analyst sees the hospital operator's earnings rising at a 9% compound annual growth rate over 2025-2027 as its operations at existing hospitals ramp up. DBS maintains its buy rating and THB26.00 target price, citing the healthcare company's long-term fundamentals. Shares rise 0.5% to THB20.90. (megan.cheah@wsj.com)
