MISC dips on challenging outlook

KUALA LUMPUR: MISC BHD [] shares fell in early trade on Wednesday, Sept 28 given the challenging outlook for the shipping industry going forward, including in the next financial year.

MIDF Research maintained its Neutral rating on the stock and said the company was already going through a tumultuous period as its 1Q11 earnings registered a decline of 59.3% year-on-year to RM187.8 million on its net profit due to losses in Petroleum and higher losses in Integrated Liner Logistics.
