TP Revision

Gamuda (GAM MK)
by Adrian Wong

Share Price:

MYR5.29

Target Price:

MYR5.90

Recommendation:

Buy

FY17 core earnings in-line

Gamuda's FY7/17 core net profit was within expectations supported by its construction division from acceleration of KVMRT 2 works and its property segment with record presales of MYR2.4b in FY17. Gamuda's strong outstanding construction oderbook of MYR7.8b and unbilled property sales of MYR2.0b would support core earnings growth in FY18. Keep our earnings unchanged. Our RNAV-based TP is trimmed to MYR5.90 (-10sen) after updating i) latest property GDVs, ii) SMART impairment and iii) share base.

MYR2.18

Target Price:

MYR2.49

Recommendation:

Buy

Better outlook ahead

Having secured e.MYR930m of job wins YTD, outstanding orderbook stands at a robust e.MYR2b, providing decent earnings visibility. Precast contribution is also set to improve in 4Q17 when contribution from KVMRT 2 kicks in. Our FY17 job win assumption is raised to MYR1b as YTD job wins has exceeded our initial assumption of MYR700m. Earnings are raised by 2%-8% for FY17-19. We upgrade Kimlun to a BUY with a higher TP of MYR2.49 (+8%) based on unchanged 10x FY18 PER (+0.5SD).

Company Update

MPHB Capital (MPHB MK)
by Desmond Ch'ng

Share Price:

MYR1.38

Target Price:

MYR1.34

Recommendation:

Hold

Sale of 21% stake in MPI rejected

That Generali's call option over a further 21% stake in MPI Generali (MPI) cannot be exercised is a setback for MPHB. This development means that MPHB will find it harder to monetize its investment in MPI and it creates more uncertainty as to when the group can resume dividend/capital repayments, if any. We maintain our HOLD call but raise our RNAV discount to 50% from 30% previously to reflect this uncertainty. Our SOP-derived TP is therefore cut to MYR1.34 from MYR1.87.
