MRCB +1.75% RM1.74 - Kwasa Land Sdn Bhd, the master developer for the 2,330-acre iconic Kwasa Damansara Township announced that Malaysian Resources Corporation Berhad (MRCB) had won the bid for the coveted inaugural development of 'Project MX-1', a 64-acre parcel of mixed development with an estimated gross development value of over RM 7.0b. Trading BUY

 

5)FAVCO : announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Favelle Favco Cranes (M) Sdn Bhd, Favelle Favco Cranes (USA) and Kroll Cranes A/S had received 5 purchase orders or Letter of Intent in the month of June 2014 for a total sum of RM69.2m. Contract involves the supply of 3 offshore cranes & 2 tower cranes. All the cranes are expected to be delivered from early to the second quarter of 2015. Contracts are expected to contribute positively to the earnings and net assets of FFB for the financial year ending 31 December 2014 and beyond; +ve ,adds to its strong all time high OB of around MYR1.11bn in 1QFY14. We believe 65% of these orders will be delivered by FY14 and the rest by FY15 onwards. We estimate that 95% of its orderbook is made up of contracts to supply offshore oil & gas cranes, with visibility up to FY16. The group's earnings growth is underpinned by the buoyant demand for offshore drilling rigs. However, we believe the current price may have reflected its potential earnings growth and it currently lack further re-rating catalysts - Hold.

 

6) Market : We expect more consolidation as the local benchmark is still well supported at the current level. Momentum indicators suggest that the index is likely to continue range-bound between 1,872 to 1,889 level. Should the 1,872 uptrend channel support be violated, this could trigger further profit taking activities towards 1,853 (100 SMAl).
