IOI Properties fell five sen to RM2.34 on Wednesday, despite announcing the day before a 64 per cent increase in net profit for the first quarter to end-September.

IOI Properties has lost 4 per cent since it proposed a cash call last week to fund its Marina Bay land acquisition. Analysts said the cash call exercise would result in earnings dilution and share price consolidation in the short to medium term.
