MAYBULK (5077)

RM1.80
BUY
RM2.23
Maybulk (RM1.80) – has retraced 20% in less than a month on profit-taking post the listing of 21.23% associate, POSH, in Singapore to its 61.8% retracement level of its up move from the low of RM1.52 (in August’13) to its recent high of RM2.24. It is a low risk entry level to position for expectations of a rebound in global growth with its ensuing higher global trade & shipping volume. Generally shipping analysts and industry captains are of the opinion that rates for bulk shippers and tankers have bottomed in 1H2013,  and analysts have forecasted an average increase of 43% & 14% for bulk & tanker rates respectively. Clarkson expects trade growth and vessel supply to be similar for the first time in 4 years. Bunker costs have also been declining since it peaked in August’13, in line with crude oil prices which have fallen about 11% since its peak in August and is expected to be lower in 2014 which is conducive to lower bunker costs. In view of the favourable operating parameters, Maybulk’s  FY2014 results will see drastic improvement compared to 2013. Its associate, POSH, is also expected to continue to contribute handsomely with its core activities of providing offshore marine support to O&G players in the region and the additional 12 vessels that will be delivered in 2014. Maybulk trades at an attractive p/bk of 0.97x, relatively cheaper than its 5-year historical p/bk of 1.24x. Shipping analysts expect shippers to trade above 1.2x p/bk when the shipping environment resumes to normal, which would value Maybulk at a minimum of RM2.23. Buy

RM0.965
TRADING BUY
RM1.10
 Benalec (RM0.965) - the recent price actions of Benalec are hinting of potential positive news with the stock taking out its four months ascending triangle pattern on convincing volume, its SMA50 providing strong support from being a resistance in the last 7 months of downtrend, and the golden cross on the macd. The company has been showing traction the last couple of months with land sales of close to RM300m & coastal reclamation job of RM204m. Benalec is bidding and has comparative advantage in its tender for the E&O's Penang STP2 project worth RM1b as it was earlier involved in the  land reclamation works of STP1. In mid-March, Benalec guided that it is in the midst of finalizing the SPA with 1MY Strategic Oil Terminal S/B for the reclamation/development of 1,000 acres at its Tg Piai concession - its key game changer. Fundamental valuations are also supportive of the stock at current level with FY6/15 & FY6/16 PER of 10.4x & 8.0x and FY6/15 & FY6/16 p/bk of 1.06x & 0.96x. Trading Buy
