PPB Group Outlook Likely Clouded by China Fraud Verdict -- Market Talk

Dow Jones

Nov 24

0433 GMT - PPB Group's outlook remains uncertain following a fraud verdict involving its 18.8%-owned Wilmar subsidiary, Guangzhou Yihai, Affin Hwang IB analyst Nadia Aquidah says in a note. The company, found guilty of contractual fraud in China, faces a 1 million yuan fine and a joint compensation order of 1.88 billion yuan. The conviction stems from allegations that Guangzhou Yihai assisted Yunnan Huijia and certain individuals behind it in committing fraud against Anhui Huawen. Wilmar maintains Yihai's innocence, citing fabricated transactions by Yunnan Huijia, and plans to appeal. The pending appeal leaves the financial impact uncertain, she says. Affin Hwang maintains its 2025-2027 earnings forecasts for PPB and downgrades the stock to hold from buy, citing limited upside to its MYR11.80 target price. Shares are unchanged at MYR11.00.
