CIMB-0.15% RM6.40/RHBCAP -1.17% RM8.42/MBSB  -1.53% RM2.56 - Bursa Malaysia Securities has barred the Employees Provident Fund (EPF) from voting in the three-way merger of CIMB Group Bhd, RHB Capital Bhd and Malaysia Building Society Bhd (MBSB). The rejection related to the EPF’s rights to vote as a shareholder in the resolution to approve the proposed acquisition and disposal of RHB Islamic at an EGM to be convened. The EPF owns about 14.5% of CIMB, 41.0% of RHB Capital and 65.0% of MBSB.

For 2Q15,the company achieved profit after tax of RM25.98million, representing an increase of RM13.65million (111%) as compared to the preceding year's corresponding quarter. Revenue of RM139.49million was 38% higher than the preceding year corresponding quarter. The higher revenue and profit after tax were contributed by steady construction progress from all on-going projects throughout Malaysia. Total unbilled sales at the end of the quarter under review stood at RM717.86 million.

 

With unbilled sales of RM718m,  substantial exposure to the more resilient low to medium cost property sector & trading at prospective PER of 6.1x, we continue our O/P call on Huayang.

 

6) Market: Bursa will continue to take leads from the European, US & crude oil markets for its direction. Barring unexpected events, Bursa is likely to continue its bounce from the recently oversold position.
