KOSSAN (7153)
27/6/2014
RM3.69
ACCUMULATE
RM4.86
The share price has drifted lower over the past 3 months, shedding c19%. This was in line with the sector, on the back of concerns over margin compression’s ( re- minimum wage, electricity & natural gas, greater competition ) drag on earnings. Pricing pressure has also been seen to be intensifying, as evidenced in the lower ASP. We believe, especially in Kossan’s case, that the negatives have been reflected in the price. Despite the disapproving cost structure, demand for rubber gloves is expected to remain strong. In Q12014, contrary to industry norm, Kossan even recorded margin expansion of 2ppts on the back of improving efficiencies and product mix. Group is expected to achieve superior earnings CAGR of 20% in FY14-16, over its peers of c10%. Earnings growth will be driven by new capacity expansion (22b pieces pa installed capacity upon completion of 3 new plants in 2015). The growth of its non-core TRP ( technical rubber product) division which has seen steady progress over the past few quarters is another catalyst. Trading at an undemanding 12x FY15, with MACD cutting up, RSI @ 34 – Accumulate ( TP RM 4.86 based on 15x FY15 EPs).

PRTASCO(5070)
27/6/2014
RM1.97
ACCUMULATE
RM2.58
The share price is now trading close to its 3-month support of RM1.95. Group remains a good small cap proxy to public infrastructure spending, particularly road maintenance & public housing. It achieved a net profit CAGR of 15% over the past 2 years ( 2011-13 ) and expects growth momentum to continue this year & beyond ( management targeting minimum 15% in FY14). Fundamentals remain healthy – OB of RM1.8b (for both road maintenance concessions & construction) and unbilled property sales of RM180m. We also like its flagship integrated property project “De Centrum” ( involves redevelopment of the 100-acre Infrastructure University KL land in Bangi that it acquired at a low price) which has a GDV of about RM10b. Balance sheet remains strong ( net cash of RM86m or 26s per share) and highly cash generating road maintenance concession will underpin a likely 10s dividend, which translates to a 5% yield. It’s new O&G venture ( acquired a 63% stake in PT Anglo Slavic Indonesia, comes with profit guarantee) may also support future earnings growth. We believe Protasco remains a compelling growth story ; Accumulate ( TP RM2.58 based on 11x FY15 EPS).
