Boustead (Buy) - The Future Is Brighter Ahead


Boustead (Buy)
The Future Is Brighter Ahead
  • FY11 core results (excluding exceptional) below HLIB and consensus expectations due to the heavy industry division (cost escalation and lapse in new contract) and lower plantation contribution in 4Q.
  • 4th interim single-tier dividend of 9 sen, making total of 29 sen, below our projection of 34.5 sen but not disappointing is add the dividend in species of Pharmaniaga shares.
  • Despite the earnings disappointment, the new petrol vessel contract and maiden full year contribution from Pharmaniaga will revive earnings expansion from FY12 onwards.
  • Rare stock that provide earnings growth and high yield.
  • FY12-13 forecasts cut by 7-9% following the results.
  • Maintain Buy.
  • Target price raised to RM6.20 (10% discount to estimated SOP of RM6.89) from RM5.91, incorporating our higher TP for Affin, latest BHIC price and fine-tuning post FY11 results.
