Sunway's FY11 results were within ours but slightlyabove consensus expectations, with its FY11 core net profit making up about 103% and 107% of both forecastsrespectively. As the merger was only completed in August 2011, there is nomeaningful y-o-y comparison of its financial performance. We are raising our FY12 net profit forecast by 4.0% and introducing our FY13forecast. We maintain our Buy call on Sunway, at an unchanged FV of RM3.31,based on a 20% discount to our SOP RNAV valuation. Sunway is our top pick among mid- tobig-cap property companies, backed by its attractive valuation and relatively defensive earnings from its property investment segment.
Within our estimates but above consensus. Sunway's core netprofit of RM325.6m for FY11 made up 103% and 107% of our and consensus FY11 netprofit forecasts. Collectively, its property development & investmentdivision was the biggest contributor to topline, accounting for about 38.4% oftotal revenue, followed by construction division, which contributed about 33.7%to revenue. However, due to the higher margin commanded by its propertydevelopment division as well as dividend income from Sunway REIT in theproperty investment division, these divisions collectively contributed some 82.3% of the core net profit while the construction division accountedfor about 13.9% of group bottomline. Asthe merger was only completed in August 2011, there is no meaningful y-o-ycomparison for the group's financial performance.
