GAMUDA (5398)
13/1/2013
RM4.52
ACCUMULATE
RM4.90
Has retraced more 5% since the end of December to an intraday low of RM4.42 last Friday, close to its recent low of RM4.41. It rebounded strongly from there despite the disappointment over another failed Selangor state offer for SPLASH and the fear of an unpleasant takeover as both the federal and state governments have agreed to invoke Section 114 of the Water Services Industry Act 2006 (WASIA), as negotiations to take over the water concessionaires have fallen through. This is a clear indication that the stock has bottomed as it bounced off its low even on negative news. Anyway, the loss in market cap of RM.34/share has more than discounted this negative development as even if the full Splash purchase consideration is paid as dividend (as was earlier expected by the market), it would amount to RM0.32/share. In addition, we are of the opinion that the takeover of the concessionaires will proceed amicably in view of the major shareholders cum managements relationship with the federal government, the implications on the Malaysian bond market which has significant exposure to these concessionaires, and Malaysia does not have any history of forceful takeover that may affect the flow of FDI which the country needs to rely upon in the current fiscal austerity environment. Meanwhile, Gamuda remains the sole contractor with expertise & machinery for MRT tunneling, giving them considerable advantage for the bidding of the RM25b MRT Line 2 project where tunneling portion alone is estimated at RM10b. Cabinet approval is expected to be in early 2014 which will be a key catalyst for Gamuda. It is also trading at attractive valuations relative to historical PER of 20.6x with PER of 14.7x for FY14 and earnings growth of 14% for the next 2 years. Accumulate in view of the current blue chips correction phase. TP: RM4.90 (PT)
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
IOICORP (1961)
13/1/2013
RM4.24
ACCUMULATE
RM4.80
is oversold with a RSI of 28.8% and has retraced closed to 12% since 31/12/13. It went ex-dividend in specie of 1 IOI Property:2 IOICorp and ex-restricted offer for sale of 1 IOI Property @ RM1.76: 6 IOICorp on 19/12/13. With the demerger exercise completed, IOICorp is now a pure big cap plantation play. It is one of the most efficient integrated plantation players with yields better than the other big cap plantation players, like KLK, GENP & FGV, yet it trades at lower valuation than them. IOICorp trades at a forward PER of 16.9x versus the average forward PER of Malaysian big cap planters of 20.2x. In addition, management has guided to maintain the last 2 years dividend per share pay-out of 15.5sen despite the demerger exercise. This is because, cash is no longer required to fund the huge property related capex, estimated to be RM1.3b & RM1.7b in FY12 & FY13 respectively. In addition, to the increase in dividend yield, the added catalyst would be further acquisition of plantation assets from the release of the said capital commitment. Accumulate TP:RM4.80  (PT)
