KLK: Maintain Sell - A tough year for the downstream division

Stock Name: KLK
Company Name: KUALA LUMPUR KEPONG BHD
Research House: MAYBANKPrice Call: SELLTarget Price: 19.60



No surprises for us. 1QFY12 core net profit of RM356m (-11% QoQ, -11% YoY) is largely within our expectations but slightly below street estimates. We raise our FY12-14F net profit forecasts by 5% in each year on a higher CPO ASP outlook of RM2,800/t (previously RM2,600/t) for 2012-13. Our revised TP is now RM19.60 (previously RM18.70), based on an unchanged 16x FY13 PER. Maintain Sell for its steep valuations and lack of short-term catalysts.
