0602 GMT - Food Empire Holdings stands to benefit from its strategic partnership with Malaysia's Capital A, Maybank Research's Jarick Seet says. The partnership will co-develop and launch a new range of ready-to-drink beverages. The collaboration between the two companies' subsidiaries will commence with a Vietnamese iced coffee product to be sold on AirAsia flights and at selected retail outlets under the 'Santan Brand.' This looks positive for Food Empire as it continues to break into more markets in Southeast Asia, the analyst says in a research report. Maybank Research raises the stock's target price to S$2.62 from S$2.00 to partly reflect a higher 2025 price-to-earnings of 17x from 13x, with an unchanged buy rating. Shares are 1.3% higher at S$2.27. (ronnie.harui@wsj.com)
