UOB Kay Hian Research adds IJM Plantation, GentingM to Alpha list


UOB Kay Hian Research said GentingM's valuations were compelling, after two years of selldown due to gaming duty hike and RPT-linked acquisition of loss-making US-based Empire Resorts. GentingM currently trades at -one standard deviation EV/EBITDA of seven times.
