Research Houses Recent Target:
Public research : Malakoff reported a 33% increase in 1Q20 net profit to RM89.2m. The results were above our and consensus’ estimates, accounting for 32% of full year estimates respectively. The higher net profit was mainly due to the newly acquired Alam Flora and better-than-expected contribution from associates and joint venture following the acquisition of additional stake of 12% in Shuaibah and the absence of share of losses from Kapar Energy Ventures (KEV). There was no dividend declared for the period under review. We maintain our forecast for now, pending its analyst briefing. We retain our Trading Buy call on Malakoff with target price of RM1.06
Kenanga research : 1QFY20 net profit of RM89.2m beat expectations with maiden earnings from newly acquired assets coupled with the absence of KEV losses. With the zero asset value of KEV no longer in earnings equation, forward earnings volatility is fairly low. Thus, we are now positive on MALAKOF and raise the stock to OP with a revised TP of RM1.02. In addition, it also offers an attractive yield of >6%.
Aminvest research : We maintain BUY on Malakoff with an unchanged fair value of RM1.00/share (WACC: 7.6%) due to its decent dividend yield of 6.1% for FY20F. Malakoff is currently trading at FY20F PE of 17.1x and FY21F PE of 16.8x. We are keeping our gross DPS of 5.5 sen for Malakoff in FY20F (FY19: 6.5 sen) for now. The FY20F gross DPS of 5.5 sen translates into a decent yield of 6.1%. Recall that Malakoff was able to pay a higher gross DPS of 6.5 sen in FY19 due to the RM988mil disposal of its 50% stake in MacArthur Wind Farm, Australia.
