OSK maintaining an OVERWEIGHT rating on the construction sector as its underperformance is unjustified given the strong contract wins in 2012. Based on tracking of jobs flow on Bursa Malaysia, Malaysia’s public-listed contractors had secured close to RM25bn worth of contracts as of 9M12.
Things certainly look rosier for 2013, during which more meaningful earnings contribution from works carried out on the KV MRT may be expected.
OSK continue to like Gamuda (BUY, FV: RM4.90) among the big caps counters and KimLun (BUY, FV: RM2.46) for small-cap counters.
Below are the target price, market capitalization and rating for selected stocks in construction sector.

OSK is bullish on the O&G industry in the immediate term as it would be very soon before new contracts are awarded, including:
- RM8-10bn worth of hook-up commissioning in the Pan Malaysia cluster
- marginal oilfields
- replacement of expiring brownfield contracts.
OSK’s top picks for the sector is SapuraKencana Petroleum (BUY FV RM3.00), Dialog (BUY FV: RM3.45) and Dayang (BUYFV: RM2.90). They like these companies for their excellent track records and believe that in the event of a slowdown in contract awards, they would still have strong orderbook.
