RM2.79
BUY

Share price has weakened slightly following the recently released HY results which trails consensus. We see this as a buying opportunity, as the group’s progress billings are usually recognized in 2H of the financial year. CBIP is a proxy to the plantation sector but yet is largely shielded from CPO price volatilities, as plantation companies will still continue with capex on new mills even in times of low CPO prices. There are several catalysts going forward – OB remains solid (unbilled sales of the mill construction division stood at RM390m as at end March 2013, Co has received cRM150-200m worth of contracts ytd & hopeful of winning RM350-450m contracts in FY13), expanded capacity to ensure demand is met and the new technology zero discharge mill & recently proposed acquisition of Vickers Hoskins boiler factory will help expand its market reach & add another source of revenue. For the longer term, CBIP’s plantation operations in Indonesia will start contributing more significantly from 2017. Valuation remains at an undemanding 7-8x FY13-14, for a company with such attractive prospects. BUY (TP RM3.60 based on 10x FY14).

The recent improved outlook on the timber sector, given the strong recovery in log prices & Japan's improving economic activity which translates to rising plywood imports, bodes well for WTK. It is arguably the purest timber play as plantation division contribution won't be significant until 2016 onwards. Although plywood prices have not enjoyed a similar re-rating as log (+20-30% yoy) as yet, we see it coming, given the general 4-6 months lag to pass on higher log costs. Log prices of cUSD250-270 per cu m are expected to hold through to 2014. The weaker USD/MYR exchange rate also augers well for exporters like WTK. WTK's timber products are higher end products and should carry higher margins. Trading at PE of 11.5x & 8.9x for FY13&14 -  Accumulate, to ride on Japan's aggressive fiscal & monetary policy under PM Abe, as it's expected to translate to improved demand for tropical plywood. In the longer term, WTK's close relationship with the Sarawak State Govt could lead to more land-bank expansion opportunities. (TP RM1.74 based on 12x PE FY14).
