KUALA LUMPUR (July 26): Hong Leong IB Research has maintained its “Buy” rating Genting Malaysia Bhd (GenM) at RM3.67 with a higher target price (TP) of RM4.21 (from RM3.53) and said the dispute between Fox-Disney and GenM is fully resolved.

In a note today, the research house said the outdoor theme park (OTP) will proceed with partly Fox and non-Fox IP.

“We believe excitement will return as this will still be the first theme park in Asia with Fox’s IP, and is likely to increase footprint.

“For now we keep our forecast unchanged pending clearer indication on OTP’s opening timeline. This may act as a good catalyst for foreign shareholders to return, as foreign shareholding on GenM is at an alltime low of circa 31%.

“Maintain Buy, with higher TP of RM4.21, as we increase our EV/EBITDA multiple to 9.0x (1SD above 3 years mean). Post upgrading GenM, our TP on Genting Bhd would increase to RM7.05, maintain Hold,” it said.
