RHB Raises Faber's Target; 3Q Results Beats Forecast

20 Nov 2012

RHB Research raises Faber Group's (1368.KU) target to MYR2.07 from MYR1.62 and keeps its Outperform call after the company reported better-than-forecast 3Q results; the house raises FY12-FY14 profits by 4.1%-14.7% and updates its net cash position following the company's special dividend announcement, which translates into a net payout ratio and net yield of 82% and 11% respectively.  "While we continue to ascribe a 25% discount to the SOP valuation given the lack of visibility on the new concession terms, we believe Faber would remain as a party to the new concession as the company was granted an extension to continue operating until the concession is renewed," says RHB. Faber is up 7.0% at MYR1.49.
