SCOMIES(7045)
4/4/2013
RM0.395
BUY
RM0.50
Scomies(0.395) – a buy call on a  laggard in the oil & gas industry and a clear beneficiary from the Scomi Group’s recent restructuring exercise, where the profitable O&G services of the Eastern Hemisphere were injected into Scomies by its parent. The purchase consideration is settled  via an issue of Scomies’ shares priced at 0.47. Following the share issue, Scomi Group’s stake in the company increased to 66% from 43%. Hence, there is talk of a potential secondary placement of Scomies shares by Scomi Group and it is unlikely to  be lower than 0.47, hence a potentially 16% upside in the near term. It was also noted from the Bursa’s filing that one of the executive director has been buying the shares from 0.50 to 0.40. Stock is also trading at an attractive forward PER of 8.8x & 7.9x for the next two financial years. (PT)
  

BAT(4162)
4/4/2013
RM64.90
 Trading SELL
RM58.00
BAT(64.90) – the last 2 months saw the first sign of weakness in BAT’s price where the stock dropped from 64.80 to 52.50 in a month after a parabolic rise for the last 1 year. Now that the stock has rebounded to its high, it is appropriate to sell into strength as this rebound is likely to be the last leg of its rally as is normal for investors to be alerted when after a good run, a stock has its first sign of weakness with a sharp correction & then rebound which provides the last opportunity to take profit at an attractive price. BAT is also trading at >40% premium to market PER with an overhang of higher excise duties post-election from the government ‘s necessity to reduce its budget deficit. In addition, the Health Ministry has hinted of stricter tobacco regulations recently. Trading sell with a view to reposition back at 58.00.(PT)
