Stock Pick – KNM – September 2010

knm

Nothing Exciting. KNM’s 1HFY10 results were below expectations despite a higher 2QFY10 PBT of RM8.3m compared to breakeven in 1QFY10 in tandem with a better plant utilization rate. However, the net profit was lower due to lower tax incentive being recognized during the quarter. Hence, we are downgrading our FY10 earnings by 27%. KNM has proposed a share consolidation of 4-into-1 shares. Maintain Neutral with target price RM0.56.

Below estimates. KNM’s 1HFY10 results were below consensus and our expectations, making up 27% and 28% of the FY10 forecasts respectively despite recording a higher 2QFY10 PBT of RM8.3m compared to breakeven in 1QFY10. The better PBT was contributed by higher utilization of its plants. Nevertheless, due to the lower tax incentive from Borsig’s acquisition being recognized for the quarter, its 2QFY10 net profit dropped 64.9% to RM14.1m from RM40.3m in 1QFY10. Besides that, its YTD performance continued to be affected by the slower new orders and a drop in selling prices of its process equipment amid strong competition, especially for its low to mid-end products.

Stock Pick – Sunway – August 2010

sunway

Forward Thrust. Sunway posted 1H FY10 core earnings of RM77.8m, which were 14.2% above our numbers. We expect RM1bn in new jobs vs RM602m secured YTD. The potential jobs include SunCity projects, domestic Government jobs, Phase 2 of Arzanah, Indian roads and precast structures in Singapore. We revise our FY10-12 earnings upwards by 5%-7%. Maintain BUY, RM2.52 TP with Sunway as one of our top sector picks.

Above expectations. Sunway reported 2QFY10 revenue of RM509.2m (+35.2% y-o-y) and earnings of RM48.6m (+164.1% y-o-y) while cumulative 1H earnings stood at RM88.5m. After adjustments for derivative gains, gains from its Hanoi Hotel disposal and impairment losses on non-core assets, core earnings came in at RM77.8m, which was 14.2% above our estimates on an annualized basis (20.4% above consensus). Margins were higher at all levels y-o-y in the 1H period. Quarterly analysis. From a q-o-q perspective, revenue was up 1.5% but earnings surged 21.9%. PBT margins for 2Q rose to 11.6% (vs 10% in 1Q), mainly due to higher contributions from its associate and JV entities. The Arzanah Development (recorded as JV profits) hit 38.8% completion in Q2 compared to 27.6% in Q1.
