§
Felda
Global Ventures (Results Review): 3QFY12:
Below house expectation (Maintain HOLD, TP: RM4.85) [download
report]
Felda Global Ventures’s 9MFY12 adjusted net profit of
RM666.5m came below house expectations, making up 64% of estimate. It did
however meet market expectations, which made up of 73% of estimates. While
3QFY12 adjusted net profit decreased by 40% y-o-y, the y-o-y comparison is not
too meaningful as there was a significant change in operations in early FY12.
Nevertheless, the decrease was caused by lower CPO prices and lower FFB
production. We maintain HOLD recommendation with a TP of RM4.85 as FFB production
is expected to improve and the turnaround of the company’s downstream segment
appears to be producing positive results.
§
Telekom
Malaysia
(Results Review): 3QFY12:
Marginally below house expectation (Maintain SELL, TP: RM4.48) [download
report]
Excluding 9MFY12 tax incentive of RM128.4m from TM’s YTD normalised
PATAMI of RM592.5m, 9MFY12 adjusted net profit of RM464.1m came in below house
consensus full year estimates at 69% and 57%, respectively. TM’s share price has depreciated by 10% since
our SELL recommendation on 30 August 2012. Nonetheless, it is still trading
above of our revised target price, implying a total expected downside of 15%.
Maintain SELL.
