BUY on weakness
RM2.00
The share has been drawing more interest of late, on expectation of a demand up-cycle for the group’s products. Management estimates future water pipe demands could exceed RM5.4b after the water issue is resolved, driven by the Langat 2 Water plant and the Pengerang project, the RM5b worth of pipes for replacement market and the demand from new townships ( esp in Klang Valley & Johor). It’s manufacturing plants have been running at 50% average utilization rates, so production can easily be ramped up to 70-80% utilization to meet the increased demand, which will also mean operating leverage can kick in to counter the impact of rising costs. The replacement market is significant, as water loss due to leakage averaged c37% in 2011, with some states recording more than 50%. Co is also aiming to participate in the Singapore government’s NEWater project. The share price has jumped some 9% over the last few day, bringing valuations to 6-7x for FY13/14. Although this is quite in line with its 5-year average PER of c6X, we consider this attractive given the Co’s strong growth potential.  – BOW (TP RM2.00, 8x FY14).

RM3.60
The share price has consolidated around the RM2.80 level for the past 2 months, after the disappointing Q2 results, which were weighed down by weaker revenues & higher tax expenses. We believe the negatives are already in the price & is currently a good time to re-look at Favco as it is still backed by a strong RM832m OB, earnings growth expected at c12% for FY12-15 & with the Malaysian O&G sector still firmly on an capex upcycle. After an unexciting 3QCY13 where there was a lull in O&G contract awards, we expect contract flows to pick up in 4Q13/1H14. New flows to look out for include replacement contracts for the Pan Malaysian T&I works, new marginal fields (3rd licensing round), Newfield asset sales, EOR contracts and further tenders for the RAPID projects. We think the O&G sector is still firmly in a capex upcycle & the stronger contract flows will benefit Favco’s core business of manufacturing customised cranes for the offshore O&G, construction and port /wharf industries. Trading at 7.8x for FY14, we consider it still cheap, compared to the O&G’s sector average of 15x FY14 EPS. – Accumulate (TP RM3.60, based on 10x FY14).
