RM1.16
ACCUMULATE
RM1.60
The share price has fallen c17% over the last 3 weeks, partly due to missed earnings expectations in Q3. The poor result was due to group’s inability to recognize profits from certain projects in a timely manner (in view of un-finalized variation order claims of c RM35m). Co had incurred incremental costs for the works but no additional revenue was recognized as the VO claims have not been approved. We see this share price pullback an excellent opportunity to accumulate the stock, as the timing issue should not be read as a sign of deterioration in its business model of fundamentals. We still like the group for its position as a truly global construction player, its good proxy to oil wealth (tenders for some of the stadiums for World up 2022 in Qatar likely to be out next year, Dubai to host 2020 World Expo) and its up and coming O&G play (via Technics & Sumatech Engineering & Construction). Valuation looks attractive, trading at 8.9x for FY14 ( vs forward PE of 10-16x for the construction sector), RSI at 20 – Accumulate ( TP RM 1.60, 12x FY14 EPS).

TROP (5401)
4/12/2013
RM1.36
ACCUMULATE
RM1.70
The weakness of the share price over the past 3 months ( -20% ) was largely due to general concerns over the property sector and also specifically the high gearing of the group. We believe the sentiments on this stock is starting to turn around. Co’s recent Q3 results were in line. Nonetheless, future growth prospects remain strong, underpinned by its total new sales of RM1.8b, strong unbilled sales of RM2.2b and group expects to launch about RM1.8b worth of projects in 4Q13, bringing FY13 launches to RM3.4b. We also like the group as it enters the second phase of asset management and adopts a more prudent strategy ( plans to suspend land purchases) which not only addresses concerns of its high leverage, but also allows it to have a more generous dividend policy. We anticipate a period of high cash flow going forward (from non land bank purchases & significant asset monetisation activities – degearing initiatives, en-bloc sales & securing minority JV partners), possibly lowering its debt ratio from 0.7x to 0.5x. Group is trading at a steep 57% discount to its RNAV/share of RM3.16, we see this overly pessimistic & has not priced in the asset monetisation, upside to dividends & strong locked in sales; Accumulate ( TP RM 1.70, c45% disc to RNAV).
