4) Situational:-

 

WILLOW + 1.23% RM0.82 - Willowglen MSC Bhd's wholly-owned unit, Willowglen Services Pte Ltd, has received a RM14.2m contract from Singapore Power. Willowglen said the award was for the supply and installation of an intruder detection system for distribution sub-stations. The contract is expected  to be completed by Nov 13, 2016. It is not renewable and the risks in the contract are the normal business risks. Willowglen said the contract was expected to contribute positively to the group's earnings and net assets per share for the financial years ending Dec 31, 2015 to 2016.

 

 

5) WCT

9mths 9/2014    Tover -4% RM1.34bn   Net -30% RM100.2m    EPS 9.2sen

                        19% below cons(f) RM164.3m

 

The lower turnover and profits are mainly due to lower property development billings and lower project margins. Segmental wise civil and construction achieved op profit of RM87m, prop dev and inv RM80m.

Although the company continues to maintain a healthy construction order book of RM3.7bn, cooling measures by the government has impacted its prop dev arm significantly and a short term turn around is unlikely. So far it has failed to capture any packages of the high profile MRT project and thus we expect its performance to continue to lag the market's preferred favorites in this sector, Gamuda and IJM.

 

 

6) Market - Cheap liquidity driven by central banks easing in China and possibly Europe should continue to prop up the market and the KLCI could trend higher to its first resistance of 1848pts. Trading activity will remain in battered O&G names ahead of the OPEC meeting 27th Nov. Our favorites in this sector remain Yinson and Perdana.
