MISC (3816)
30/4/2014
RM6.39
BUY
RM7.10
Stock has retraced 10% in a month from its recent high of RM7.10 and close at its 26.4% retracement of its rally from a low of RM4.46 in August’13. Recent results provided a glimpse of potential MISC performance ahead especially its offshore division with the maiden contribution from its 50% stake in Gemusut-Kakap floating production system and the forthcoming Cendor FPSO from FY14. In addition, its tank terminal division is expected to see higher earnings as the subsequent phases in Tanjong Bin come into operation. The chemical segment has also turnaround from higher freight rates & lower operating costs, while the petroleum division saw lower losses from downsizing of vessel fleet & improvement in rates. A further improvement in freight rates is expected in FY14 with a Bloomberg survey of analysts forecasting the crude tanker rates for VLCC, Suezmax & Aframax increasing 27%, 8% & 7% respectively in 2014 versus FY13. The heavy engineering division which has been a drag on earnings will see a turnaround in FY14 with the Malikai tension-leg platform project & the Block SK316 central processing platform job contributing to the bottomline. With all segments showing signs of improvement coupled with a decent valuation of 1.1x p/bk versus historical average of 1.42x, it is opportunity to accumulate MISC in the current correction.

SEALINK (5145)  
30/4/2014
RM0.465
BUY
RM0.57
Counter broke out from a double bottom formation and a downtrend from early 2011 on huge volume to a high of RM0.53. The recent correction of the ACE-listed counters has also affected Sealink with a retracement of 61.8% of its recent rally from RM0.425 to RM0.53, an attractive technical level for re-entry of the stock. Sealink’s main earnings come from the O&G industry as its chartering of marine support vessels business is predominantly to the offshore O&G players. It has a young and diverse fleet of 40 vessels that cater to a wide base of reputable clients. It is not surprising that this division has shown significant year-on-year improvement in recent quarterly results with both higher utilization & charter rates registered in the industry. This division has also been boosted by the delivery of 2 state-of-the-art diesel-powered hybrid anchor handlers with DP-2 positioning which will contribute handsomely to Q4’13 & FY14 profits. These 2 AHTS are 8,000HP vessels but with their hybrid capabilities, they have the pulling capacity of an equivalent 12,000HP AHT with significant cost-saving advantage that will stand them in good stead in competing for contracts. The shipbuilding & repair division, which has been suffering losses the last 2 years, is also showing signs of improvement with the announcement of contracts secured for the disposal of 3 vessels in Dec’13 and expectations of further orders from the buoyant local O&G sector. Sealink’s valuation is highly attractive with a p/bk of 0.52x & a forward FY14 PER of 6.6x. Buy
