30/5/2014
RM2.79
BUY
RM3.20
Share price has found support and bounced from a low of RM2.62 ever since it started to drop after reaching a high of RM3.04. Technical is encouraging with MACD on the verge of cutting up and RSI being neutral at 46%. The catalysts for the group in the near term include, firstly the RM60b RAPID project which is soon to be awarded as the group has strong presence and good track record with the project owner, Petronas. Apart from that, Muhibah is also one of the beneficiaries of the RM6b West Coast Expressway (WCE) project which is expected to materialize soon in the 2Q14. Last but not least, Muhibah also benefits from greater passenger growth in the Myanmar and Cambodian airports as the group plays a major role in the airport concession and construction works in these countries. Total current order book stands at RM2b, comprising of construction, crane and shipyard divisions. This will keep Muhibah busy until 2016. Trades at PER of 10x and 9.2x for FY14 & FY15. Buy with SOP-based FV of RM3.20.

ASTRO (6399)
30/5/2014
RM3.47
SELL into Strength
-
Share price has gained more than 15% year to date and has exceeded the target price set by majority of the brokerage houses. The recent rally on the share price may be associated with the management’s proposal of buying back up to 10% of the company issued and paid up capital. Apart from the management proposal, there are lacks of catalysts to propel the stock higher in the near term. Astro is currently trading at heft valuations of 37x PE, offers single digit CAGR growth with a dividend payout of 2.8%. Although Astro is known for its ability to drive average-revenue-per-user (ARPU) through value-added services and to raise dividends as its earnings improve from FY15, its positives are already reflected in its price and it faces a challenging operating environment. Advocate Sell into Strength.
