Hi-P shares drop 14% following Maybank Kim Eng's downgrade
Singapore
HI-P International slid amid heavy trading, following a downgrade of its stock to "sell" with a target price of S$1.22 by Maybank Kim Eng as the components manufacturer "appears overvalued compared to its global peers".
Maybank Kim Eng analyst Lai Gene Lih noted that Hi-P has outperformed its Singapore-listed peers, gaining 47 per cent as at April 8 since posting its full-year results on Feb 21. The brokerage has recommended that investors take profit following its recent rally.
