Food Empire's Presence in Russia, Vietnam Makes It an Attractive Target -- Market Talk

Dow Jones2023-05-05

0506 GMT - Food Empire Holdings is an attractive target for bigger competitors given its strong presence in Russia and Vietnam, Maybank says. The stock is trading at 8.6X core FY 2023 P/E, a steep discount despite its strong recent share-price performance versus the valuations of its global peers, analysts Jarick Seet and Eric Ong say in a note. The food-manufacturing company's 1Q net profit after tax is tipped to rise 22% on year to US$11.2 million on strong demand in core markets--Russia and Vietnam, they say. It could also resume share buybacks as it considers itself deeply undervalued and remains confident of its outlook, they say, adding that it might also pay out an interim dividend. Maybank maintains a buy rating and S$1.29 target price on the stock, which was recently unchanged at S$1.00. (monica.gupta@wsj.com)
