[ET Net News Agency, 12 March 2021] Nomura trimmed its target price for MTR Corporation
(00066) to HK$46.5 from HK$48.2 and downgraded its rating to "neutral" from "buy" on fair
valuations.
The research house remains positive on MTRC's rail-plus-property growth model. However,
Nomura said MTRC's current share price has already fully priced in a likely normalization
of its rail and rental businesses, and also partly discounting its robust property
completion pipeline ahead.
Reflecting the delayed recovery, Nomura lowered its 2021 EPS forecast by 18%, but
maintained its 2022 EPS estimate largely unchanged. (KL)
