HOLD. The nearly full subscription of the right issue indicates investor confidence, but the small unsubscribed portion introduces some uncertainty. A hold recommendation is appropriate until the company successfully deploys the capital and demonstrates improved financial performance. The price target will depend on the future earnings and growth prospects after the capital infusion. We will revisit in Q2 2026 after reviewing their financials.
