0222 GMT - IHH Healthcare's Turkish unit is likely to maintain its growth momentum despite political uncertainty there, Maybank Investment Bank analysts Nur Natasha Ariza and Yin Shao Yang say in a note. While accounting adjustments related to hyperinflation may weigh on reported earnings amid the Turkish lira's depreciation, core earnings should remain resilient, they say. The Acibadem unit benefits from foreign-currency-denominated medical tourism and steady private healthcare spending, they say. Contributing 30% of IHH's 2024 revenue, the Turkey business is projected to see 9% Ebitda growth in 2025, helped partly by stable in-patient volumes, they add. The analysts remain positive on Acibadem's non-lira income and IHH's other key segments. Maybank maintains a buy rating on IHH and keeps its target price at MYR7.97. Shares are unchanged at MYR6.91.
