Raffles Medical (RFMD SP) – Doubts About the Outlook Weigh on Bullish Sentiment

By Xinyao (Criss) Wang

  • The revenue brought by COVID-19 business wouldn’t be sustainable,and would decrease in the future. The lower-than-expected performance of the hospital services is hard to be the main driver for growth.
  • The performance contribution brought by medical tourism would be limited, just partially offset the decline of COVID-19 related revenue. Accordingly, we lowered our forecast on revenue and earnings in FY2022-FY2023.
  • Together with the concerns on China business, we have doubts about RMG’s outlook, which would weigh on bullish sentiment. In such a complicated environment, investors are recommended to play safe.
