WSP continues to hurt. WSP, a 23% China-based associate of UMW,
continues to be loss making for the last 9 consecutive quarters with net
loss of USD17m in 3Q11 and USD50m for 9M11. Against this backdrop, we
have trimmed UMW’s 2011-12 earnings by 1-3% with a higher net loss
assumption at WSP (see Table 1). Coupled with headwinds at the auto
division, there are minimal catalysts to re-rate UMW, which is a Hold
with an unchanged RM6.10 target price, pegged at 11x 2012 EPS.
