PLUS - AmResearch maintains Overweight on toll concessionaires

Stock Name: PLUS
Company Name: PLUS EXPRESSWAYS BHD
Research House: AMMB

KUALA LUMPUR: AmResearch is maintaining its Overweight call on the toll concessions sector, with PLUS (BUY, FV=RM4.72/share) as its top pick.

'Privatisation manoeuvre aside, we continue to like PLUS as a proxy to a recovering Malaysian economy ' backed by its solid dividend yield of 4%-6%. For the first eight months of 2010, traffic along the main PLUS highway grew by a robust 7.7% YoY,' it said on Wednesday, Oct 6.

AmResearch said an added kicker would come from PLUS' broadening footprint into potentially value-accretive overseas investments, notably in India.

This is further solidified by the group's successful joint bid for a highway project in Gujerat worth 950 Crores (about RM660mil) with IDFC Projects Ltd ' its third highway concession in India.
