N.A. By the Kenanga Research Team / [email protected] INVESTMENT MERIT Stock Information • Share prices has fallen 17%, since our last TRADING BUY recommendation on 31- Stock Name EKOVEST BHD Oct-13 (TP range from RM1.17-1.31), titled “ A Triple Play? ” before peaking at RM1.40 CAT Code 8877 on 30-Jul-14. YTD, its share price has eroded by 13%, 4% more than KL Construction Industry Engineering&Construction Index’s 9% decline. We believe the stock price has lost momentum due to: (i) lack of Industry Sub-sector Building&Construct-Misc fresh orderbook replenishment for FY15, (ii) consolidated losses arising from acquiring YTD stock price chg -12.62% the remaining 30% stake in DUKE, and (iii) lowering of dividend payout given to Market Cap (RM m) 799.84 shareholders. Issued shares (m) 855.45 • Acquired 100% equity interest in DUKE highway. EKOVEST has completed its 52-week range (Hi) 1.41 rights issue exercise in Jun-14 and used the proceeds to acquire the remaining 30% 52-week range (Low) 0.935 equity interest in DUKE from MRCB. This resulted in a plunge in FY14 net profit due to 3-mth avg daily vol: 39056.06 losses of RM33.9m from the non-controlling interest unit. The current DUKE highway Free Float 24% carries an average daily traffic of 130.0k vehicles. This exercise should yield positive Beta 0.83 result as EKOVEST will have full control over its operations and management. Altman’s Z-score 1.64 • Orderbook at RM2.0b. The total orderbook of RM2.0b is mostly for DUKE Phase 2 and Phase 1 of River of Life project in Kuala Lumpur. The RM1.18b worth of DUKE Major Shareholders Phase 2, which was secured on Jan-14, is currently 45% completed. While guidance of Kang Hoo Lim 20.19% remaining orderbook is not available, we estimate that the group has some 40%-50% Kota Jayasama Sdn Bh 20.16% remaining out of its total orderbook, which offers 1.5 years visibility. The DUKE Phase 2 Ekovest Holdings Sdn 12.19% project, which is expected to be completed and opened by 4Q16, is expected to provide earnings visibility from FY17 onwards. Financials • Secured Approval-in-Principle for DUKE Phase 3.

The financing DPS (sen) 1.0 1.0 1.0 method of this c.RM3.57b project is still unknown while details of project Dividend Yield (%) 1.1% 1.1% 1.1% commencement remain vague. We reckon it is likely to be financed via issuance of Islamic medium-term notes by the SPV. This project duration is expected to be 3.5 Quarterly years. We believe that DUKE Phase 3 should garner investors’ interest in the long run Financial Data 1Q15 2Q15 3Q15 as it will catalyse the overall future EKOVEST’s earnings growth. However, at this Revenue 88.9 104.9 125.3 juncture, we have not built this into our estimates as any significant earnings PBT 2.2 4.5 7.5 contributions before FY17 is unlikely. Net Profit (NP) 1.4 3.2 5.2 • Property unbilled sales of RM588.0m. The major portion of the unbilled sales is from EPS (sen) 0.2 0.4 0.6 EkoCheras (GDV RM1.6b) and expected to last until 2017. Also, EKOVEST has EPS Growth (QoQ) -97.1% 117.6% 64.9% launched Phase 1 of EkoTitiwangsa (GDV RM202.0m) in Jun-15 with some 40% take- Revenue Growth 93.8% 18.0% 19.5% up rate. In terms of upcoming launches, EKOVEST is looking to launch another 3 (QoQ) projects over the next 18 months, with a total GDV of RM2.4b (EkoGateway RM1.9b, PBT Margin 2.5% 4.3% 6.0% EkoQuay RM210.0m, EkoPark Place RM320.0m). This should contribute to the Group’s earnings for next 2-3 years. Peers PER Div. Yld Mkt Cap Comparisons (FY16) (%) (RM’m) • Fairly valued.

Hence, our TP is revised downwards to RM0.80 (from Ekovest 15.9 1.1 799.8 RM1.17-1.31 previously), based on FY16E PER of 13.6x (-0.5SD @ 5-yr average), FBMKLCI 13.8 3.7 958.4B implying that the stock is fairly valued at this juncture. We may revisit the stock pending fresh updates on DUKE Phase 3 commencement date. Our TP which implies FY16E PER of 13.6x is already at the upper band of mid-cap contractors range of 10.0x-14.0x, implying that a lot of the announced positives have been priced-in and requires stronger earnings accretion to re-rate the stock further.

Recently, due to the sell-down Name : Ekovest Berhad in the local bourse, the share price has broken down from its Bursa Code : EKOVEST strong support-turned-resistance level of RM0.98 (R1) to settle at the -1SD regression level. In tandem with the tepid trading CAT Code : 8877 volume, key indicators such as Stochastic and RSI are also posting bearish-biased outlook as reflected in their negative Key Support & Resistance level trends, with the former already in oversold territory. We reckon Resistance : RM0.98 (R1) RM1.05 (R2) RM1.09 (R3) that with the poor market sentiment and negatively biased Support : RM0.87 (S1) RM0.75 (S2) RM0.69 (S3) technical picture, the share price would likely trend south towards Outlook : Bearish the RM0.87 level in the near-term.

There are three underground stations namely Tun Razak Exchange (TRX) station, Cochrane Station and Maluri Station located in Kuala Lumpur limestone formation. TRX Station is the deepest station with maximum excavation depth of 45m below ground and also one of the underground interchange stations for future line. Cochrane Station with maximum excavation depth of 32m below ground also serves as launching shaft for the tunnel boring machine from both ends of the station. Maluri Station with maximum excavation depth of 20m below ground includes an underground train crossover as operational requirement. A technically appropriate and cost effective temporary earth retaining system suitable for the challenging geological formation using secant pile wall supported by temporary ground anchors or temporary strutting was adopted.
