rose to a high of RM3.49 on Thursday, the best performance since October 2018, aided by firmer crude oil prices and recurring income business.
At midday, shares of the oil and gas services company was up eight sen to RM3.46.
At the last traded price of 3.46, it is trading at a forward price-to-earnings of 39.32 times.
The world's largest asset manager BlackRock Inc had bought 422,999 shares on July 9. This raised its shareholding to 1.89% or 106.51 million shares.
As of March 31, 2019, BlackRock managed approximately US$6.52 trillion in assets on behalf of investors worldwide.
Maybank IB Research. Hong Leong Investment Research and AmInvestment Research have Buy calls and target prices of RM3.60, RM3.87 and RM3.85 respectively.
CIMB Equities Research has an Add call and TP of RM4.59.
AmInvest Research had in a report on the oil and gas sector issued on July 5 said its top picks are still companies with stable and recurring earnings such as Serba Dinamik and Dialog Group.
“We like the recurring income business model of Dialog and Serba Dinamik, which are involved in operation and maintenance services while Dialog’s earnings visibility is further secured by the Pengerang Deepwater Terminal project with its enlarged buffer zone,” it said.
ramsyllDialog have been in the limelight recently with it’s share price rising from RM3.20 to RM3.50. Seems that Dialog’s 20-day SMA line is likely to turn higher enhancing it’s bullish sentiment. The share price will most likely test it’s resistance level of RM3.66 soon to a new high (RM3.76) and thereafter RM3.88 level. Support is currently established @ RM3.30.
1. Dialog’s construction of the first Pengerang Phase 3 upon locking in long term agreement with BP Singapore offering 430,000 m3 clean petroleum storage tanks services by mid-CY21. 2. The Edge based on fund managers’ and analysts’ top picks as the second half of the year unfolds reported Dialog in their top 10 stocks. Among the 15 research houses that cover Dialog, 13 have it on “buy”, with a median TP of RM3.80. 3. Black Rock Inc, the world's largest asset manager, recently took a block of shares depicts confidence of Dialog’s biz model and future. 4. Dialog secured a 5-year groupwide master service agreement for integrated turnaround main mechanical and maintenance mechanical static services from Petronas, which has an option for extension. These type of service agreements will generate approx. 30% profit.
I’m expecting the re-rating catalysts to continue with Dialog as they unravel: • more Phase 3 customers in the coming months or near future. • upstream sector - actively develop new reserves from existing contracts & acquiring new production assets. • tanking expansions - ongoing operations of Pengerang Deepwater Terminals ("PDT") Phase 1 is currently being expanded by 430,000 m3 & Dialog Terminals Langsat (3) Sdn. Bhd. into a 300,000 m3 storage facility. • balance of approximately 500 acres available in PDT for future phases.
We can expect Dialog’s Q4 results to continue rising with stronger than expected core businesses as well as full consolidation of Langsat 1 & 2, and stronger JV & associate contribution (full 12 month contribution from PLNG2 & contribution from PT2SB).
Come mid-August, Q4 results would likely see an increase in revenue to approx. RM650K, PBT of RM180K (Net Profit of RM155K) and Net Profit to ShareHolders of approx. RM150K, hence YTD of RM545K giving an EPS of RM0.097. At it’s current value of RM3.50, PE is 36X which is acceptable due to Dialog’s proven profitable biz model. Dialog might just surprise us with an unexpected record results of approx. RM0.10sen EPS and a Q4 dividend of RM0.02 sen.

ky75NEW SOURCE OF GROWTH CUSHIONS EFFECTS OF DOWNTURN
Looking at Dialog Group Bhd's profit after tax (PAT) figures over the past three financial years, those unfamiliar with the company might not realise that it is in the oil and gas (O&G) business.
This is because Dialog's PAT has consistently been on an upward trend, even when the crude oil price plunged below US$30 in 2014.
While many of its peers were struggling to cope with the low oil price environment, Dialog's PAT ballooned to a record high of RM528 million for the financial year ended June 30, 2018 (FY2018) — a 41.5% jump from RM373 million in FY2017. It posted a PAT of RM301 million in FY2016 versus RM285 million in the preceding year.
This translated into a three-year CAGR of 22.9% — an impressive figure and the highest among members of The Edge BRC in the energy sector.
Dialog's decision to venture into the midstream segment to develop an oil storage terminal in southern Johor proved timely as the division became the key contributor to its earnings when its upstream business was not faring as well. The division is expected to bring in recurring income for the group.
The oil storage terminal, named Pengerang Deepwater Terminal (PDT), is sitting on 1,200 acres of reclaimed land. The group envisions making Pengerang the Rotterdam of the East — a regional downstream hub for the oil, gas and petrochemical industries, given Malaysia's strategic location.
The facilities in PDT also complement the development of the Refinery and Petrochemical Integrated Development (RAP Dialog Group 2016 2019 ID) project, which is part of the massive downstream project called Pengerang Integrated Complex driven by Petroliam Nasional Bhd.
Dialog last Thursday launched Phase 3A of the PDT development after the group signed a long-term storage agreement with BP Singapore Pte Ltd. It said this will comprise storage tanks with a capacity of 430,000 cu m for clean petroleum products, and is set to be completed in mid-2021.
Phase 3A is the first parcel of PDT's Phase 3, where the construction of common tankage facilities (including shared infrastructure) and deepwater marine facilities (Jetty 3) are already underway.
This marks the continued expansion of PDT in Pengerang, Johor, where Phase 3 is currently being developed on about 300 acres of land within PDT with an indicative initial investment cost of RM2.5 billion, said Dialog.
PDT's combined storage capacity has grown to 2.6 million cu m in Phase 1 and 2. There are dedicated deepwater jetty facilities that can cater for very large crude carriers and liquefied natural gas regasification facilities, with two storage tanks with a combined capacity of 200,000 cu m.
In September last year, PDT received its first very large crude carrier, the MT Navarin, at Jetty 2.
From a PAT of RM102 million in FY2009, Dialog's earnings had grown more than five times to RM528 million in FY2018. Thanks to the strong growth, Dialog also delivered a handsome return on equity (ROE) to its shareholders — it achieved an ROE of 15% in FY2018 compared with 13% in both FY2016 and FY2017.
It is understandable that companies tend to conserve cash when things get tough. Dialog, however, did not disappoint its shareholders when it came to dividend payments, with a payout ratio of 40% in FY2016 and FY2017 and 41% in FY2018.The group declared 3.2 sen per share in FY2018 versus 2.65 sen in FY2017 and 2.2 sen in FY2016.
While investors have shied away from O&G stocks, Dialog is probably the exception. Its share price more than doubled during the period under review, climbing from RM1.536 on March 31,2016, to RM3.156 on March 31,2019, reflecting a 27.7% threeyear CAGR.
According to Dialog, if an investor had subscribed for 1,000 shares with an investment of RM2,750 at its initial public offering in 1996, the investment would have been worth RM856,910 as at September last year after taking into account the dividends received, seven rounds of bonus issues and a rights issue in 2012 plus stock dividends. This translates into a CAGR of 33%.
Moving forward, Dialog does not plan to rest on its laurels, with plans to acquire oilfields to expand its upstream business.
In this sector, the group will continue to actively develop new reserves from its existing contracts, says its executive chairman Tan Sri Dr Ngau Boon Keat in its 2018 annual report. "At the same time, Dialog is looking for viable production assets, which may become available for possible acquisition," adds Ngau, who is the controlling shareholder with a 20.03% stake.

ahbah•We maintain OVERWEIGHT on the sector as prospects have radically brightened with rising asset utilization globally which supported service providers’ improving results. While we have BUY calls for MISC, Sapura Energy and Velesto Energy, our top picks are still companies with stable and recurring earnings such as Serba Dinamik and Dialog Group.
We like the recurring income business model of Dialog and Serba Dinamik, which are involved in operation and maintenance services while Dialog’s earnings visibility is further secured by the Pengerang Deepwater Terminal project with its enlarged buffer zone.
