0108 GMT - IHH Healthcare's recent share price weakness likely offers an attractive entry point, with earnings growth seen supported by more complex treatments, hospital expansions and Fortis-Gleneagles synergies, says Maybank IB analyst Nur Natasha Ariza in a note. Its focus on higher-value treatments and day-care services should also support growth beyond bed additions, she says. IHH's core net profit is expected to grow 18% annually over 2025-2028, faster than its 11% annual growth over 2016-2025, she reckons. Legal developments in its India operations provide little basis to revise earnings forecasts, in the analyst's view. Maybank maintains a buy rating on IHH and keeps its target price at 11.20 ringgit. Shares are unchanged at 7.90 ringgit.
