A good start

The successful launch of 750 units of Karisma apartments at Eco Majestic with a 85% booking rate marks a good start. ECW remains confident of its ambitious sales target of MYR4b for FY10/16. Surprises could come from potential enbloc sales at its BBCC project. We maintain our earnings forecasts and MYR1.67 RNAV-TP (on an unchanged 40% discount to RNAV) pending the release of its 1QFY10/16 results on 24 Mar. Reiterate BUY.

Target Price:

Recommendation:
Hold




First Pan Borneo package

Kimlun’s JV with Zecon has clinched the first Pan Borneo Highway Sarawak package for 2016 worth MYR1.46b. This lifted its orderbook by 37% to MYR1.6b. Further job wins could come from other Klang Valley highways while precast orders could be boosted by MRT projects. We raise our 2016-18 EPS estimates by 8%-25% after imputing higher job win forecasts. Our new TP is MYR1.50 (+8%). HOLD; positive sentiment ahead of major infra work awards in the sector could lift valuations further.

SECTOR RESEARCH






Sector Note
by Chee Ting Ong


Lowest output in 9 years





MPOB’s Feb 2016 stockpile at 2.17m MT (-6% MoM, +25% YoY) was a third consecutive MoM decline, aided by the lowest monthly output in 9 years. The weak Feb 2016 output will cap CPO price downside in the short term while further drawdown in stockpile in the coming months will push CPO price higher. 1H16 provides good trading opportunities in anticipation of CPO price staging a mini rally to above MYR2,700/t sometime in 2Q16. Our BUYs in the region are IOI, FR, AALI, LSIP, BAL, SOP and TAH.
