ARMADA (5210)
16/7/2014
RM3.24
ACCUMULATE
RM3.98
Armada (RM3.24) – last week low of RM3.15 is very near to the IPO price of RM3.03 and Armada has never traded at such attractive valuations (PER of 15.7x & 13.1x for FY15 & FY16 versus historical mean of 28x) since its IPO in July 2011. Management has dismissed rumours of problems in its African operations and clarified that they have 99.9% uptime in their operations there. They are the best in class in terms of uptime & margins in the O&G industry in Africa. For investors who are concerned with the dip in recent results, management has explained that this was due to a change in accounting treatment for 2 of its largest FPSO to finance leases which have minimal recognition of revenue & profit during the conversion period and recognition of revenue & profit tend to be back-end loaded. But this change in accounting policy has no impact on the company's project cash flow & IRR. The 1Q2014 results were also affected by the winter season in the Caspian Sea which affected their operations but have since resume to normal operations subsequently. In fact, Armada looks set for a sharp improvement in bottomline for FY15 with 2014 being such a busy year compared to 2013. After Armada Claire FPSO set sail in Feb’14, the company is working on the conversion works of Armada C7 FPSO (target completion by 3Q14) and Kraken FPSO (target completion by 1H16). Concurrently, Armada is actively bidding for 10 FPSO prospects worldwide. Notable mentions are Eni’s East Hub project off Angola (USD1.5b) and Husky’s Madura development off Indonesia (USD1.2b) where Armada is tipped as the frontrunner. The company's current order book is a strong RM32b which is > 15x FY13 revenue. Armada’s recent RM1.5b Sukuk debt raising exercise will reduce its conventional debt to about 25% of its total assets, well below the Syariah threshold of 33%, which indicate management’s initial deliberate attempt to get back to the Syariah list. Accumulate

DAYA (0091)
16/7/2014
RM0.28
Trading BUY
RM0.35
Daya (RM0.28) – stock has corrected >38% since it peaked in 1Q2014 due to lower-than-expected 1QFY14 results and management changes especially in the O&G division. This has brought the price to an attractive valuation of PER 9.0x & 7.6x  for FY14 & FY15 respectively. This is significantly lower than the average valuation of small & mid-caps in the O&G sector of 17.3x for FY14, 12.4x for FY15, and Daya’s historical average PER of 21.4x. It has a record order book of RM1.5bn that drives the company's 3-year EPS CAGR of 29%. Management also guided that they have secured the charter of SD3 which is currently under construction and this vessel construction may be expedited in view of the contract. Additional potential driver would be the successful acquisition of 100% stake in SD1 & SD2 which the company has guided earlier. Technically, Daya is oversold (RSI at 24%) and with the upcoming capital exercise, the stock may trade upwards to at least the earlier placement price level of RM0.345. Trading buy
