RM2.46
Trading SELL
RM2.20
The share price of Oldtown has moved up 12% over the past 3 weeks and c32% over the last 4 months. This probably on the back of the promising outlook of both its cafe & beverage manufacturing business. Although we still like the group fundamentally, we believe the share price rise has factored the positives in. Going forward, numerous concerns have emerged. The foreign shareholding stands at 37% (up from 20%, just 6 months ago - risk of foreign funds exodus now higher). The operating & marketing expenses are also expected to rise in FY13/14, in the face of more competitive & challenging market conditions for consumer stock. Outlet opening in 2012 is below management guidance, and this trend is expected to continue in 2013. Trading at more than 15x for FY14, we deem oldtown to be fairly valued - Trading Sell, buy back at RM2.20.(FY14 PE 13.8x). (AK)

RM1.80
ACCUMULATE
RM2.14
The plantation sector has been on the wrong end of news flow for the past year, with palm oil stock level reaching record highs. In line with this trend & poor 1HFY6/13 results, the share price of Jayatiasa has shed c 40% over the past 9 months, from the RM3 level in July 2012. However, over the past month, views on CPO prices are beginning to turn less bearish, due to lower stock level & output, and expectations that exports will improve. Latest statistics suggest that inventory level should decline further until June/July 2013. We reckon most negatives are already reflected in the price. On the other hand, the strong FFB output growth prospects (24% in FY13 & 22% in FY14, from its young maturity profile & land coming into maturity) should support the share price or even act as a catalyst when outlook improves. Trading at FY6/14 PE of less than 12x, MACD converging & RSI 42 – Accumulate. (TP RM2.14, PE 14x). (AK)
