As such, OCBC keeps its Hold rating and $1.68 fair value estimate in tact, but says the acquisition will further strengthen the partnership between the companies.
“OSIM had previously stated that it is looking to develop its specialty retail outlets for personal care and sports-related products in China. Hence we view this move positively as it is in sync with Osim’s strategy to innovate new products.” Resistance is likely at the multi-year high of $1.73, hit December 9.
