Sime Darby (Hold) Bucyrus deal concluded

Stock Name: SIME
Company Name: SIME DARBY BHD
Research House: MAYBANKPrice Call: HOLDTarget Price: 8.50



Price above our expectations; small earnings impact. Sime has completed the acquisition of former Bucyrus' distribution assets (in Australasia) and rights under Sime's dealership territories for USD360m (or RM1.1bn). While earnings impact is neutral in the short term, the inclusion of Bucyrus product offerings is positive on the longer term. Maintain Hold but raised our TP to RM8.50 (from RM8.36; based on unchanged 16x FY13 PER) on revised earnings.
