Stocks to watch: Sozo, MTD Cap, Loh & Loh, AirAsia (Edge)

Stocks which could see trading interest on Friday, Dec 17 include Sozo Global Ltd, MTD CAPITAL BHD [], Loh & Loh and AIRASIA BHD [] following fresh corporate developments.

Sozo, a China-based company which manufactures ready-to-serve food, will be listed on the Main Market. Its offer price is 80 sen while RHB Research Institute has accorded a fair value of 95 sen.

RHB Research said it derived a fair value of 95 sen a share after applying a FY11 target of 4.0 times PER, which is a 10% discount to the weighted average FY11 target PER of the three listed China based companies on Bursa Malaysia.

“We believe it is more relevant to benchmark Sozo against its China listed peers in the KLSE than the Malaysian peers given the large discount usually applied to China listings in Malaysia, irrespective of its business model,” it said.
