Kenanga revises Pos FY2013 forecast

Stock Name: POS
Company Name: POS MALAYSIA BHD
Research House: HLGPrice Call: BUYTarget Price: 3.20



Kenanga Research has revised upwards Pos Malaysia Bhd's financial year 2013 forecast following the latter's bullish financial results for the six-month period ended Sept 30, 2012.

Yesterday, the postal services provider posted a higher pre-tax profit of RM43.73 million for the second quarter against RM42.89 million registered in the same period of 2011.

Its revenue increased to RM300.45 million from RM292.62 million previously.

For the six-month period, pre-tax profit increased to RM96.13 million from RM79.85 million in the same period of 2011 and revenue rose to RM611.76 million from RM579.85 million previously.

Kenanga Research said the six-month 2013 (6M13) results came above its expectations but were in line with consensus.

The 6M13 core net profit of RM67 million made up 48 per cent of the consensus's earnings but 65 per cent of its financial year (FY) 2013 full-year estimate, it added.

The research house has revised its FY13-14 estimates higher by 14 per cent and five per cent respectively.

"We factored in higher contribution from the courier business as well as the enhancement in the operating margin due to a higher transaction volume," it said.

Following this, Kenanga Research has maintained its "outperform" call on Pos Malaysia with higher target price of RM3.90 against RM3.70 previously.

Hong Leong Investment Bank (HLIB) also kept its "buy" recommendation on Pos Malaysia with unchanged target price of RM3.20.

"We continue to like Pos Malaysia for the potential synergistic effect arising from more tie-ups with DRB-Hicom Bhd, its undemanding valuation and relatively generous dividend payout," said HLIB.

Pos Malaysia has announced an interim gross dividend of 8.0 sen less 25 per cent tax or net dividend of six sen. -- Bernama

Affin cuts Petronas Gas target price

Stock Name: PETGAS
Company Name: PETRONAS GAS BHD
Research House: AFFINPrice Call: SELLTarget Price: 16.60



Affin Investment Bank cut its target price on Petronas Gas Bhd to RM16.60 from RM17.40, citing a project delay which may hurt the company's earnings next year.

"We downgrade our earnings per share for the next two years by 7.1 per cent to 16.8 per cent to account for lower-than-expected performance-based income, and to account for a six-month delay in the commissioning of the Melaka regasification terminal," said Affin in a report on Monday. It maintained a "reduce" call on the stock.

The company's net profit fell 18.9 per cent to RM310.5 million in the third quarter ended Sept. 30 after revenue from gas processing dropped by almost 30 per cent on lower export volumes.

Petronas Gas shares were down 0.53 per cent at RM18.80 as of 10.14am. -- Reuters
