KUALA LUMPUR (June 5): Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd (MAHB) fell 1.78% in late morning Wednesday due to the delays of klia2, which is estimated to start operating first quarter next year (1Q14).

As of 11:06 am, the stock hits a new low of RM6.08 after falling 11 sen from RM6.19 with some 44,400 shares done.

Alliance Research analyst Angeline Chin in a research report on June 4 had reiterated ‘neutral’ on MAHB with unchanged target price of RM5.90.

“While we are positive on the long-term fundamentals of MAHB, we believe that these have largely been priced in given its rich valuation,” she said.

She also included the key investment risks, which are: (1) lower passenger movement, (2) outbreak of pandemics and natural disasters, and (3) further delay in the opening of klia2 and cost overruns.

Meanwhile, Maybank Investment Bank Research (Maybank IB) in its report today has upgraded Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd (MAHB) to a ‘buy’ call from ‘hold’ while raising target price to RM7.20 from RM6.60 previously.

The revisions came from the estimated April 1, 2014 start-up date for klia2 with higher traffic growth rate and the investment tax allowance for klia2, which provides 60% additional allowance for approved investment.

“We estimate lower taxes of RM585 million to RM645 million, ranging on project cost of RM3.9-4.3 billion, for the entire lifecycle of klia2. This adds RM0.15/share to our DCF-based target price,” it said.

“We revise our base case for KLIA2 to start operations in 1 Apr 2014 (versus 28 Jun 2013 previously), with a higher project cost of RM4.3 billion. The additional RM400 million project cost increase will be debt funded.

Maybank IB also said that it thinks a perpetual bond is the most likely debt structure given management’s determination to safeguard its AAA rating for its primary bonds and it cannot afford to raise its gearing ratio by a significant margin.

“We have imputed a RM500 million perpetual bond, with a profit rate of 5.0% into our earnings forecast,” it added.
