0902 GMT - Earnings from AEON Co. (M)'s property management segment are expected to stay resilient in 2H, supported by continuing mall rejuvenation and expansion plans, Maybank IB analyst Jade Tam says in a note. The segment is likely to remain a key medium-term earnings driver, she says. However, consumer retail spending may stay subdued before improving in 4Q during the year-end festive season and school holidays, she adds. Tam cuts Aeon's 2025-2027 earnings forecasts by 5%-7% to reflect higher sales tax and interest expenses. Maybank maintains a buy rating on Aeon and keeps its target price at MYR2.00. Shares are 3.0% lower at MYR1.31. (yingxian.wong@wsj.com)
