0556 GMT - Haw Par's share price seems to undervalue the cash generation of its underlying business, say Macquarie Capital analysts in a note. Haw Par, which owns pain relief brand Tiger Balm, has relatively stable healthcare sales and the analysts expect the company's 2026-2028 profit at S$276 million-S$292 million, excluding fair-value gains on investments. Haw Par also has holdings in United Overseas Bank and property developer UOL Group, both with strong market positions, they note. These investments represent around 70% of Macquarie's estimated net asset value for Haw Par, they say. A re-rating of Haw Par's underlying asset base could be a key share-price catalyst, they add. Macquarie starts coverage of Haw Par with an outperform rating and S$20.60 target price. Shares rise 2.6% to S$15.79. (megan.cheah@wsj.com)
