Earnings Review Aitken Spence PLC 3QFY2018

Political stability/uncertainty in the key location of Maldives continues to be an issue for the destination which is a key component of the group’s operations.

The government’s stance on thermal power the continuation will continue to be a concern for the sustainability of the energy interest of the group. Scaling up operations in other sectors such as its elevator business, property development, etc. will be a move in the positive direction to reduce reliance/concentration as well as to boost profitability.

We estimate a price of LKR 53.00 for SPEN, and therefore carry a HOLD recommendation on the counter at its current price levels
