Taking a backseat

THE Alliance has picked PSA as its hub in this region and we expect UASC to move some of its volume out of Westports to PSA. Imputing for the potential volume loss, we lower our throughput growth forecasts for 2017-19 resulting in lower EPS forecasts by up to 17%. Consequently, our DCF-TP is now a lower MYR3.80 (-14%; 2025-54 growth rate: 2%, WACC: 6.7%). We think this development is largely priced-in with Westports’ share price having weakened 10% YTD. HOLD.

SECTOR RESEARCH






Lowest stockpile in 6 years
by Chee Ting Ong


Sector Note





The market appears to have brushed off MPOB’s lowest stockpile in 6 years last Friday. Rather it chose to focus on a 26% MoM decline in exports estimates for 1-10th March as 3M CPO price was down -2.4% DoD. As highlighted last week, we turned cautious on the sector although we think the recent CPO price selldown was overdone given the low stockpile. A short term rebound in CPO price is possible before prices resume their downtrend into 2H17. Our BUYs are BPLANT, SOP, BAL, AALI, LSIP, TBLA.
