ARMADA (5210)
26/6/2014
RM3.52
ACCUMULATE
RM4.03
Armada (RM3.52) – is likely to test the recent low of RM3.49 to complete a 5-wave correction from a 2/4/14 RM4.03 high. Yesterday trading saw an increase in volume with significant portion of the volume being OMTM crossings which signify that block buyer(s) have found the prices appealing at current levels. We rate this last leg of correction as a low risk area to start accumulation of the stock before the sellers are exhausted. Armada looks set for a sharp improvement in bottomline for FY15 with 2014 being such a busy year compared to 2013. After Armada Claire FPSO set sail in Feb’14, the company is working on the conversion works of Armada C7 FPSO (target completion by 3Q14) and Kraken FPSO (target completion by 1H16). Concurrently, Armada is actively bidding for 10 FPSO prospects worldwide. Notable mentions are Eni’s East Hub project off Angola (USD1.5b) and Husky’s Madura development off Indonesia (USD1.2b) where Armada is tipped as the frontrunner. Sentiment on Armada was affected by the lower reported profit due to the change in accounting policy this year from treating all FPSO contracts as operating leases (recognition of revenue & profit from the conversion period) to treating longer tenure, large scale FPSO projects as financial leases (minimal recognition of recognition of revenue & profit during the conversion period) but has no impact on the company’s underlying project economics, i.e. project cash flow & IRR. Armada’s recent RM1.5b Sukuk debt raising exercise will reduce its conventional debt to about 25% of its total assets, well below the Syariah threshold of 33%, hence management’s initial deliberate attempt to get back to the Syariah list. Armada trades at FY15 & FY16 PER of 16.8x & 14.5x respectively, significantly lower than its historical PER of 28.1x. Accumulate

KULIM (2003)
26/6/2014
RM3.46
TRADING BUY
RM3.98
Kulim (RM3.46) – a potential crystallization of investments in New Britain Palm Oil Ltd (NBPOL) & E.A Technique (M) Bhd (EAT) and the potential distribution of special dividends post the unlocking of value are rationale for a trading buy call on Kulim. EAT is the oil & gas division of Kulim and is scheduled to be listed in the second half of 2014. EAT is involved in the transportation of clean petroleum products and upstream exploration support for oil majors. It has a total fleet of 32 marine vessels, including 9 vessels chartered from third parties, and has an outstanding order book of RM1b. Kulim has a 49% stake in NBPOL and it has been reported that 7 major listed plantation players in Malaysia & Asean are interested to bid for Kulim’s stake. Now is an opportune time to buy for a trade before the bidding process commences in the first week of July. The charts are also indicating better days ahead with NBPOL breaking above the stubborn GBP4.27 resistance, confirming a bullish flag pattern, and Kulim reclaiming its SMA200 at RM3.44. Recent Bursa filings have reported that KWAP has been accumulating Kulim. Trading buy
