4) Situationals:

SAPCRES-1.44% RM4.79: Share price was weaker after a family dispute between Tan Sri Shamsuddin Kadir and his two sons spilled in the open. Tan Sri Shamsuddin Kadir is demanding a return of shares and properties valued in excess of RM450m from Datuk Shahril Shamsuddin and Shahriman Shamsuddin. Assets include a 15% block in Sapura Holdings Sdn Bhd and properties in the Klang Valley.

 5) FAVELLE FAVCO

Favelle Favco Cranes Pty Ltd, Favelle Favco Cranes (M) Sdn Bhd and Kroll Cranes A/S had received 5 purchase orders or Letter of Intent respectively in the months of March 2012 and April 2012 for delivery in end 2012 to 2013 valued at RM102.1m. The contracts primarily involve the supply of tower and offshore cranes. This will improve the company’s order book size to above RM800m. Trading at only 5% PE multiple, the stock trades at a steep discount to market valuations, likely due to the lack of liquidity. An indirect play into the growth of Favco could be via Muhibbah Eng, who owns 55% of the company.
 
6) Market – Cautiousness in the market likely to linger as European bonds continue to decline after the recent debt auctions. All eyes now will be on the US jobless claims numbers tomorrow to provide some stability back to the current sell off. Maintain KLCI immediate support at 1580pts.
