Comeback sunny side up


Largest poulty player: An analyst says the 16 times valuation for Leong Hup is reasonable and quite fair.

Back in February 2017, when news that the company planned to make a comeback to Bursa Malaysia surfaced, there were reports that the company was looking to enter the market at close to 30 times forward earnings.
