KUALA LUMPUR (Aug 14): RHB Research Institute Sdn Bhd has ceased coverage on SEG International Bhd (SEGi) due to a lack of catalysts for the the education group.

In a note, RHB also said SEGi's core earnings for the six months to June 30, 2014 (1HFY14) was lower than expected.

“As SEGi lacks re-rating catalysts over the near term and due to resources reallocation, we are taking the opportunity to cease coverage on the stock.

“Our previous recommendation was a "sell" with a FV (fair value) of MYR0.64, premised on a 14x FY14 P/E,” said RHB.

RHB said SEGi's core net earnings of RM14 million for 1HFY14 fell below forecasts due “to continued weakness in its enrolments amid escalating competition within Malaysia’s tertiary education universe.”

SEGi's revenue of RM123.3 million in 1HFY14 improved from a year earlier as revenue for 1HFY13 was impacted by a high number of students graduating from its nursing programme.

Across the board, SEGi's current student base has declined to an estimated 24,000 to 25,000 from a high of 29,000 to 31,000 students two year ago, said RHB
