FY15F PE (x): 30.2
 FY16F PE (x): 25.7

No surprises in 2014. Raffles Medical Group’s (RMG) 2014 adjusted net profit of S$64.6m (+6.7% yoy) came in broadly within our and market expectations. Despite revenue growth outpacing staff costs, pressures from other operating segments resulted in a 6.2ppt decline in operating margins. A total dividend per share of 5.5 S cents in 2014 implies a dividend payout of 48%. Valuations are slightly stretched with the price rise over the past year. Fundamentals remain promising, but much of the benefits have been priced in after a 21.6% price rise over the past year. The stock currently trades at 27.7x 2015F PE, which is above +1SD of 28.8x.
