MUDAJYA(5085)

RM2.45

ACCUMULATE

RM2.90

The share price has retreated c12% over the past 1.5 months, as market anticipated setback in earnings, due to the slower than expected progress of the India IPP EP project. Operating margins, although still healthy, compressed to 16% in Q4 as local projects have lower margins. We see this pullback in share price a good opportunity to accumulate. The stock could be catalyzed by job awards, completion of the India IPP project (understand overall progress is 70% completed, targeted to be test fired by end CY13 & 1HYCY14) and likely signing of the fuel supply agreement ( FSA) for the Indian IPP by 1H13. Mudajaya has strong prospects to clinch civil works for the gas fired Prai power plant & vying for highway jobs and is among the bidders of the RM1.6-2b Kidex Highway. OB stands at cRM2.4b. Trading at less than 6x FY12/13 –  Accumulate.

 

GAMUDA(5398WD)

1/3/2013

RM1.10

BUY

RM1.30

Gamuda-WB RM1.10:  Gamuda is now trading at close to its trough at c 13.5x FY13 from its average of 19x and P/Bk of 1.8x ( below average of 2x). This is despite its good earnings visibility & solid prospects. Earnings visibility is sound with RM4.5b outstanding OB, 6% Project Delivery Partner (PDP) fee for the MRT project and RM1.2b of unbilled property sales. Prospects are good with RM10b of potential new jobs in 2013-2014. Besides these, there could be a short term catalyst as the local media recently reported that the government is looking to buy over the LDP and SPRINT expressway for more than RM4b. There could be a significant special dividend to shareholders if the disposal materializes. We are also positive on KDEB’s proposed purchase of 100% equity interest in SPLASH ( Gamuda has a 40% stake) for RM1.83b. BS is healthy with about RM1.6b cash & net gearing at 13%. The share price is largely capped by election risks currently. The Gamuda-WD offers excellent exposure to the company’s price potential post election, as it is currently trading at no premium ( disc of 1.8%), gearing of 3.5x and has more than 2.2 years to expiry –  Buy.
