PWF Corp Bhd, a leading Malaysian poultry firm, has received a target price of RM1.22, reflecting a 38.6% premium over its recent closing price of 88 sen. This valuation, based on a P/E multiple of 8.0 times the projected FY2025 core EPS of 15.2 sen, aligns with industry peers’ valuations.
Apex Securities Bhd highlights PWF’s advantage as a fully integrated poultry company with in-house feed production, benefiting from lower feed costs and higher chicken prices. The company’s robust earnings growth outlook is supported by decreasing feed costs due to lower soybean and corn prices, as well as a favorable forex environment from a stronger ringgit.
