Masterskill below IPO

KUALA LUMPUR: Shares of Masterskill Education Group Bhd are below the IPO retail price of RM3.50 in late afternoon trade on Tuesday, Sept 21.

Stock market data showed it is down 13 sen to RM3.36 with 218,900 shares done. It is off its early high of RM3.54.

HELP International Bhd, which had a strong run-up, is down seven sen to RM4.71 with 80,000 shares done. SEGi is also down seven sen to RM2.30.

OSK Research said HELP International Bhd is anticipated to release its 3QFY10 results on Thursday, Sept 23, which it expects to be within expectations, with strong y-o-y topline and earnings growth.

'Nevertheless with its share price having appreciated by a whopping 150% YTD, we are downgrading our recommendation from TRADING BUY to NEUTRAL largely due to the limited upside to our TP. We maintain our forecasts and TP at RM4.30, based on 14x PER on FY11 EPS, plus a net cash value per share of 68 sen,' it said on Tuesday, Sept 21.

OSK Research said despite the downgrade, it remains positive on the company's outlook in view of its promising growth prospects locally and abroad.

With the ex-date of its 3-for-5 bonus issue set for Oct 1, its target price on a cum basis will be adjusted to RM2.69.
