BARAKAH (7251)
15/9/2014
RM1.40
ACCUMULATE
RM1.60
The last 3 trading days saw significant increase in trading volume at the RM1.39/1,40 levels, signifying buyers are willing to accumulate at these levels. Barakah has corrected by >9% since the 2Q14 results and 15% from its July high. It is oversold with wide divergence on the macd & RSI at 31%. The 9M14 results were lower as the pipelay barge, KL101, was idle after it completed its charter with Pertamina, and from higher front-loaded costs as KL101 was been prepared for the RM1.5b Pan Malaysian T&I contract which was mobilised end May. KL101 was previously chartered as an accommodation barge but will now be utilized as a pipelay barge which will have higher charter rates. Management guided that they expect @ RM300m top-line contribution to be recognized this year and they do not foresee a need for any additional third-party vessel for the contract which means higher margins. Hence, 2H14 results will show significant improvements compared to 1H14. Barakah has a current order book of RM2.38b (a healthy 3.6x FY14 consensus turnover), a bid book of RM2.6b and trades at FY15 PER of 9.2x. Accumulate

RM73.36
Trading SELL
RM66.00
Stock has outperformed the KLCI index by nearly 12% since the KLCI index peaked at 1896.23pts in July. We advocate to take advantage of this short term rally from the recent cigarette price hike to sell into strength. Global bond yields have bottomed and are starting to climb quite sharply which is not conducive to dividend yielding stocks. US 10-year bond yield has risen >11% since its low at the end of August. During the May/June fear of the Federal Reserve tapering of its QE programme & the ensuing increase in US 10-year bond yield by 9%, BAT corrected >11% from its June high before it bottomed in late July. With Budget Day in a month's time, there is also the negativity regarding higher excise duties on tobacco/cigarettes especially when the government is desperate to reduce its high fiscal deficit, and this will dampen sentiment on the stock. There is also the possibility of further down trading to illicit brands by consumers in the current difficult economic environment of rising cost & lower purchasing power. BAT trades at demanding PER of 23.3x for FY14 versus its historical average of 18.7x & KLCI Index's 16.9x. Trading sell, buy back <RM66.00
