MUHIBAH(5703)
15/3/2013
RM0.875
BUY
RM1.10
Share price has remained largely depressed, c40% lower than the RM1.50 level a year ago, largely due to the APH issue. Co had conservatively made a RM245m provision for APH in Q412, although it is still pursuing legal claims for the outstanding receivables from APH. Excluding the provision, Co would have achieved underlying PBT of RM203m in 2012, which is 82% higher that the preceding year. We believe Muhibbah has turned a corner, with broad based growth coming mainly from it’s crane unit Favelle Favco & it’s Cambodian airport operations. Earnings visibility is high for the next 2 years, with OB of RM2.2b ( infra-structure RM1.34b, crane RM0.6b, shipyard RM0.3b). Net earnings is expected to recover to about RM80m in 2013, which will place the stock’s PER at just 4.5x, with dividend yield at c5% . With the APH uncertainties out of the way, Muhibbah appears attractively priced - Buy, TP RM1.10 (AK)
 
RHBCAP (1066)
15/3/2013
RM8.30
SELL
RM7.80
Share price has outperformed over the past month, rising more than 10% to RM8.58 before settling at the current level. This was probably on the back of the maiden consolidation with OSK, which spurred revenue as well as pushed up loan growth in Q4. Gross impaired loan ratio also fell to 2.99% in Dec 2012. We see this rise in share price an opportunity to sell, as concerns of slower loan growth and weaker margins still prevail. The acquisition of OSK Investment Bank is also expected to be earnings dilutive in the short term ( benefits to arise only after 2014). Group has also maintained that it is likely to contemplate a rights issue, the size of which would be slightly larger than the cost of RM651m to acquire Bank Mestika. All these, with the looming overhang of the coming GE13 - Trading sell, with buyback closer to RM7.80. (AK)
