Update: Inari Amertron (INRI MK; BUY; TP: MYR4.30) - Action-packed


Inari Amertron (INRI MK; BUY; TP: MYR4.30) - Action-packed
  • Enhancing its footprint in China. We are positive on Inari's joint venture with PCL Technologies which could possibly expand its addressable market in China for the fiber-optics products. Should Inari’s Kunshan plant be injected into the JV entity, this could optimize production of the plant which is currently underutilized. Earnings forecasts and MYR4.30 TP unchanged; reiterate BUY.
  • Salient details of acquisition and JV with PCL. In an announcement to Bursa Malaysia, Inari has:
                     I.        Acquired a 9.7% stake (5m shares) in PCL Technologies for TWD355m (MYR44.5m) cash. Based on annualised FY15 net profi
                    II.        t of TWD251m, Inari is paying 14.6x PER for this stake, fair in our view.
                   III.        Entered into a MOU with PCL to set up a 50:50 joint-venture (USD20m initial capital), in China to provide OSAT services. We understand that both Inari and PCL are vendors to Broadcom's (previously known as Avago) wired division (industrial fiber-optics solutions) which was sold to Foxconn Technology recently.
  • Busy times ahead; improving earnings visibility. We expect Inari to be occupied over the next 2 years with new job wins (i.e. Broadcom & Osram potential outsourcing) and JV (i.e. PCL). These offers upside to our earnings forecasts and TP. Reiterate BUY.
