Glove Corp (Results Review): 9MFY12
above expectations, valuations reflected in earnings (Upgrade from Sell to
HOLD, TP: RM4.62) [download
report]
9MFY12 net profit of RM138.7m (+59% y-o-y) came in above expectations at
105% and 84% of our and consensus full year estimates, respectively. The
variance from our forecast was due to higher-than-expected sales volume and
lower-than-expected raw material cost.
Correspondingly, we upgrade our FY12-FY13 net profit by 5-25%. Although our earnings forecast was proven
wrong but our SELL call was spot on as the stock fell 22% to RM4.10/share
before recovering to current level, but still 12% lower. We raise our target price from RM4.00 to
RM4.62 as we roll over our valuation to CY13 EPS based on 18x PER, in line with
its historical average. The stock is
currently trading close to our target price.
As such we upgrade our call from Sell to Hold.
