STOCK FOCUS OF THE DAY
Tenaga Nasional : FY17 earnings delivered BUY
TNB clocked a 4QFY17 core profit of RM1.733bil (QoQ: -8.8%, YoY: -7.3%) bringing FY17 core profit to RM7,046bil (YoY: -8.8%). This was in line with our expectations but missed consensus estimates by 7%. A final dividend amounting to 44 sen/share was declared, bringing its total dividends to 61 sen/share for FY17 (FY16: 32 sen/share).
While we expect FY18F coal cost to persist at a 25% premium to FY17 amid ICPT and PPA saving fund projected surplus of RM0.3bil (Dec-17), TNB will remain financially neutral from any generation and fuel cost variations through the ICPT mechanism. Maintain BUY with a higher DCF-based FV of RM17.82 (from RM17.55) as we roll forward our valuations to FY18F (WACC: 7.7% terminal growth: 2.0%).
The release of the new regulatory period 2 parameters in December may remove uncertainty clouding TNB’s firm fundamentals. Resilient earnings visibility, robust balance sheet and exciting M&A outlook should prove TNB attractive. Valuations remain compelling at 10.7x FY18F PER with a decent dividend yield of 4.8-5.3% for FY18-20F.
