MAXIS (6012)
23/10/2013
RM7.21
TAKE PROFIT
RM6.70
Maxis (RM7.21) – with the stock overbought and its technical indicators flashing signs of negative divergence against its price, we are advocating to take profit into strength as it approaches its multi-year resistance level of Rm7.30. Maxis is relatively expensive and it trades at a significant premium valuation compared to market, and against its Malaysian & regional peers despite limited earnings growth due to the saturation mobile penetration rate coupled with a very competitive environment with minimum opportunity for product differentiation. It trades at prospective PER of 25.2x compared to market PER of 16.9x, and Malaysian &regional telecommunication sector average prospective PER of 22.1x & 14.1x respectively. Maxis’ market consensus 12-month target price is only at RM6.64 – 8% downside from current price. Take profit

KULIM (2003)
23/10/2013
RM3.27
ACCUMULATE
RM3.80
Kulim (RM3.27) – has a track record of outperformance in the last quarter of the year with an average gain of 27% for the last 3 years. This is not surprising as Kulim has Johor Corp (60%), KWAP (7.5%) & EPF (5.2%) as major shareholders. For the past 2-3 weeks, there were signs of accumulation with the stock trading between RM3.25 – 3.30, and subsequent Bursa filings disclose that KWAP & EPF have been buying Kulim around the current level. The announcements also showed that Johor Corp has exercised 3.5m of warrants when the warrants were trading at a premium of 16% in the market, i.e. at an indicative all-in price (warrant price + exercise price of RM3.13) of RM3.80. These major shareholders buying & exercise of warrants at premium normally indicates that the shares are undervalued. Kulim trades at FY14 PER of 18.2x and p/bk of 1.08x versus its peers’ average FY14 PER of 18.8x and p/bk 1.95x. The benchmark CPO price has gained by 8.3% since it bottomed at the end of September while Kulim price has retraced 1.5% over the same period. Other plantation stocks like TSR, KLK, FGV, Sime & GENP have already crept up in line with higher CPO prices. Accumulate
