Updates and progress

The 29% fall in share price from the FPSO Armada Claire dispute has more than priced in the worst-case 23sen/shr impact. Should BArmada win the legal tussle against Woodside, there is a potential 18 sen upside, not factored in yet. That aside, the execution of 4 FPSO/FSU projects in hand is crucial to BArmada's prospects beyond 2016. Otherwise, the OSV and T&I businesses will remain challenging up to 2017. Our MYR1.05 SOP-TP excludes any compensation impact from FPSO Claire debacle.

SECTOR RESEARCH






Sector Note
by Ivan Yap


Disappointing 1Q16 TIV





Mar 2016 TIV of 48.8k units (-28% YoY) was still subpar (below 55k units p.m.), having considered an unusually strong Mar 2015 TIV driven by pre-GST sales. We cut our 2016 TIV forecast to 620k units (-7% YoY) from 645k units (-3% YoY) to account for the weaker- than-expected 1Q16 TIV (-22% YoY). We remain NEUTRAL on the sector with BUYs on Pecca (Top Pick) and BAuto. SELL UMWH due to the negative outlook for its key Auto and O&G divisions.
