Favelle Favco Bhd's (FFB) share price rose 10 sen or 3.75 per cent to RM2.77 as at 10.16 am, boosted by purchase orders for
supply of offshore cranes for a combined value of RM109 million it has received.
A total of 101,900 shares exchanged hands.
RHB Research said the purchase orders have lifted FFB's year-to-date (YTD) new orders to RM607.4 million and have boosted its orderbook to RM936.3 million.
"We make no changes to our Financial Year 2013-2014 earnings per share forecast as the bulk of the orders are only expected to be delivered by 2015.
"The only risk to our forecast is a higher-than-expected tax rate of 20 per cent in Financial Year 2013-2014 after the expiration of its pioneer tax status," the research house said in a note today.
The research firm maintained a "buy" call on FFB's shares, with a fair value of RM3.55, as earnings growth remain robust, backed by a strong orderbook and earnings visibility in the Financial Year 2015.-- Bernama
