Technical Tracker- KGB: On a Solid Footing
Author: HLInvest | Publish date:
Ultra-high purity gas provider. Listed since 2009, Kelington Group Berhad (KGB) is mainly engaged in providing Ultra High Purity (UHP) gas to the electronics and semiconductor industry. Over the years, the Group has expanded its exposure to include turnkey engineering services and industrial gasses business. The group derived 71% of its revenue from its UHP divisions in FY20, whilst Process Engineering (12%), General Contracting (11%), and Industries Gasses (6%) accounted for the rest. Overall, Malaysia, China, and Singapore dominated 94% of its topline in FY20.
Riding on the fab expansion plans. With chips shortage showing no signs of abating, we expect more fab expansions in the pipeline and KGB is well-positioned to tap into more UHP jobs, as chip foundry investment sweeping across Asia (source), especially in China and Singapore where majority of KGB’s UHP projects are located in. Interestingly, this started to reflect from its all-time high outstanding order-book amounting to RM979m as at Oct-21 (FY2020: RM490m).
Industry gas division to cater into F&B. To recap, KGB commenced its liquid carbon dioxide (LCO2) plant in Kemaman, Terengganu on the 23 Oct 2019 with a total capacity of 50,000 tonnes of LCO2 pa. Over the years, the plant utilization rate plant had gradually picked up from 20% (FY2019) to 50% (1HFY2021) within 15 months of operations. As the group is in the final stage of securing the H alal Certification from JAKIM to start the qualification process for the F&B industry, this is expected to drive its LCO2 plant utilization rate to greater heights (CO2 is widely used in F&B business i.e. manufacture of carbonated drinks and food freezing etc.).
Pending for a downtrend line breakout. Technically, KGB is pending for a downtrend line breakout. A successful breakout above its downtrend line resistance (RM1.74) will spur the prices to challenge its previous high of RM1.88 (30 Sept) territories. Cut lost at RM1.61.

Food and beverage
NEUTRAL
CGS-CIMB RESEARCH (NOV 1): In Budget 2022, the government announced that excise duty on sugary drinks will include pre-mixed preparation beverages (2-in-1 or 3-in-1) effective April 1, 2022. A flat excise duty of 47 sen per 100g will be imposed on pre-mixed products that have sugar content of more than 33.3g per 100g. This includes: i) mixed chocolate or cocoa preparations, ii) mixed malt preparations and iii) pre-mixed coffee and mixed tea preparations. At this juncture, we are unable to ascertain whether the threshold of sugar content is inclusive of natural sugar or solely added sugar.
Companies under our coverage that will be affected are Nestlé (Malaysia) Bhd and Power Root Bhd as they are key players in pre-mixed beverages such as coffee, tea and cocoa. Based on our initial estimates, 50% of Power Root’s domestic sales and 25% to 30% of Nestle’s sales will be affected by this measure.
In our view, pre-mixed producers are likely to take two approaches to this matter: i) raise their selling prices to fully pass on the additional sugar tax, and ii) lower the sugar content in their products to below the threshold for excise duty. Our early channel checks reveal that F&B producers are confident they can reduce the sugar content of certain products with R&D efforts while keeping the flavour of the products. In the event the sugar level cannot be reduced, they will maintain product availability with higher selling prices or launch lower sugar content options.
Based on our back-of-the-envelope calculation, we expect effective selling prices (per 1kg) to increase by RM4.70 (9.3% to 30.5% for products priced from RM7.70 to RM32.90) for every pre-mixed beverage that has sugar levels of more than 33.3g for every 100g of pre-mixed product. In our view, the price increase is steep (assuming the sugar tax is fully passed on), which may lead to lower sales volume due to reduced consumer affordability.
We currently have “hold” calls on Power Root and Nestlé. We also retain our “neutral” call on the F&B sector. Key upside/downside risks include sharp increase/decrease in sales volume.
Mr DIY Group (M) Bhd
Target price: RM4.10 OUTPERFORM
KENANGA RESEARCH (NOV 3): In the nine months ended Sept 30 (9MFY21), Mr DIY’s sustainable Patami of RM297 million accounted for 66%/65% of our/consensus full-year estimates. We consider the results as broadly within our expectations given the Enhanced Movement Control Order in 3QFY21. An interim DPS of 0.7 sen was declared for the quarter, raising cumulative DPS declared to 2.1 sen, (accounting for 88% of our estimate).
The key to Mr DIY’s sustainable profitability is its agility in offering a variety of quality products at affordable prices, coupled with its flexibility in product mix to sustain sales and margins. We expect 4QFY21 results to be stellar, underpinned by the higher percentage of stores in operation and more store openings to achieve the targeted 175 for FY21. Management guided for 180 new stores in FY22.
Post-results, we make no changes to our FY21E/FY22E earnings of RM451 million/RM707 million. We believe the impact from the one-off prosperity tax will be negligible given that Mr DIY has about 14 subsidiaries and most are likely to have a chargeable income of less than RM100 million.
===================================================================
Kelington Group Bhd
Target price: RM2.06 BUY
RAKUTEN TRADE RESEARCH (NOV 3): We see huge growth potential for KGB’s ultra-high purity (UHP) segment as more fabrications come on stream amid a global chip shortage as capital expenditure is rising rapidly in Asia. With its record high tender book of RM1.1 billion, KGB is focusing on bidding for semiconductor wafer fabrication projects in China and Singapore, which are its largest revenue contributors. As at last month, the group had an outstanding order book of RM979 million, of which 58% comprised data projects in Malaysia.
KGB also manufactures liquid CO and dry ice. It has signed a 15-year supply agreement with Petroliam Nasional Bhd to purchase waste CO to sell to re-fillers and the F&B industry or process it into dry ice. The group is in the final stage of securing the halal certification from Jakim to start the qualification process for the F&B industry. We believe there will be some contribution from this segment soon, backed by pent-up demand post-Movement Control Order.
The company has a healthy balance sheet, with net cash per share of eight sen as at 1HFY21. There is room for further expansion with a low gearing ratio of 0.3 times.
=====================================================================
MI Technovation Bhd
Target price: RM5.04 OUTPERFORM
PUBLICINVEST RESEARCH (NOV 3): The key takeaway from MI Tech’s recent virtual briefing is China’s role as a key growth driver for the group’s equipment and material business units in the next two years. We gather that management plans to offer total solutions to Chinese clients for both semiconductor equipment and material products, which would help improve margins and cross-sell products. Nevertheless, final-quarter numbers for this year will be softer due to the ongoing supply destruction and deferment by customers, owing to revised capacity schedules. We cut our FY21-23 earnings forecasts by 4% to 10%.
Top line for the third quarter ended Sept 30 surged 77% year on year to RM114 million. China, Taiwan and South Korea are the top three markets.
The group also witnessed gradual upward average selling price revision for its Taiwan-based solder balls due to the cost hike in materials. It plans to penetrate the South Korean and Japanese markets and aims to slowly phase out the low-margin solder ball business.
Following the successful maiden sale of a laser-assisted bonding machine to a reputable South Korean phone maker, the group is aiming for a 20% to 25% market share as it has started qualification for another potential client.

Kelington poised for rebound, says RHB Retail Research
KUALA LUMPUR (Oct 7): RHB Retail Research said Kelington Group is poised for a rebound from the recent pullback, after it bounced off the 21-day average line recently – it opened with a gap then headed towards the all-time high of RM1.88.
In a trading stocks note on Thursday, the research house said if the stock manages to breach that level, the momentum is expected to propel the stock towards the uncharted territory of the RM2.00 psychological level, before possibly hitting the RM2.10 threshold.
“However, this expectation will be cancelled if it falls below the support of RM1.70,” it said.
Last Updated 11 hours ago
KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 20 (Reuters) - Malaysian electronics firms central to the supply of basic chips that drive the world's cars, smartphones and home devices say big-name customers are beating on their doors to lock in take-or-pay, longer-term deals - and happy to pay more if need be.
Manufacturers are rushing to replenish chip stocks depleted during coronavirus pandemic factory curbs - not least automakers who earlier cancelled orders expecting poor demand. That chip shortage has slammed their output, and still dislocates supply chains, just as consumer demand ramps up along with a global easing of COVID restrictions in everyday life.
At factories in Malaysia, operators like chip packaging firm Unisem (UNSM.KL) say that drive is leading buyers that sell chips on to auto and electronics manufacturers to become willing to sign up for big price hikes, some even asking for as many assembled chips as plants can produce - whatever the cost.
But Malaysia's chip assembly industry, accounting for more than a tenth of a global trade worth over $20 billion, warns that shortages - exacerbated by years of under-investment in basic chip production, while high-end semiconductors were favoured - will last at least two years.
Firms must marry the need to ramp up production with the imperative to avoid COVID-19 infections in factories that could trigger complete shutdowns.
"The shortage is very real," said John Chia, chairman of Unisem. "For CEOs (of our clients) to escalate their issues to me directly shows that this is a serious matter ... now they want to talk to me directly," he told Reuters.
Chia declined to provide names of clients requesting as much supply as they can get their hands on. Unisem's customers include suppliers to global carmakers and electronics firms like Apple (AAPL.O).
He said demand is so robust that its Chengdu plant in China is booked out for the whole of next year - and it will take months for it to clear backlogs for some automotive components.

Western Digital to build
RM1bil plant in Sarawak under
RM2.3bil Malaysian expansion
KUALA LUMPUR: American hard disk drive manufacturer
Western Digital has set aside RM1 billion
of its RM2.3 billion additional investment in
Malaysia to build a new plant in Sarawak.
The balance of RM1.3 billion would be used to upgrade its existing facilities particularly in Penang, Western Digital (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd chairman Datuk Syed Hussian Aljunid said.
The RM2.3 billion will take Western Digital's total investment in Malaysia to almost
RM18 billion since establishing its operations here in 1973.
The Prime Minister's Office (PMO) had earlier announced that the new investment was agreed upon during a meeting between Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin and Syed Hussian on Thursday.
The new investment by Western Digital reflected the government's ability in managing the economy and bringing back investors' confidence despite the Covid-19 pandemic, PMO said in its statement yesterday.
Muhiyiddin welcomed any company wanting to invest in a high-impact and technology-based industry here, it added.
"The government through the Ministry of International Trade and Industry, Malaysian Investment Development Authority and other related agencies are always committed to attracting investment and convincing investors to invest or make additional investments in Malaysia.
"Western Digital's additional investment reflects high confidence of foreign investors towards the government in helping investors to expand their investment and operations in the country," PMO said.
Meanwhile, Syed Hussian said the company's decision to channel new investments was driven by the favourable operating conditions and support from the Prime Minister and government ministries.
"Western Digital Malaysia wants to express our profound gratitude to the Prime Minister and the government for their continued support of the local manufacturing industry especially during the Covid-19 pandemic.
"The unrelenting efforts to balance public health and the needs of manufacturers is a testament to the Prime Minister's unwavering commitment to the well-being of Malaysian citizens and its economy," Syed Hussian said at a press conference here yesterday.
He said the RM2.3 billion would be used to expand the company's facilities in Penang and Sarawak.
"Of the total, RM1 billion will be utilised to build a new factory in Kuching, Sarawak, which will add 30 per cent to our hard disk drive production capacity, and RM1.3 billion is for new equipment facilities," Syed Hussian added.
Western Digital currently has facilities in Penang, Selangor, Johor and Sarawak.
Syed Hussian said the new investment was expected to provide additional employment opportunities for 2,000 people.
He also said Western Digital's salary cost in Malaysia would increase by RM80 million annually.
"The company currently employs over 9,000 people in Malaysia whose contributions are critical to the global supply chain of storage devices, data centre systems and cloud storage devices," he added.

A huge surprise! KGB clinched its largest job win worth RM420m, doubling its existing order-book which was already at all-time high levels before this. The job entails a turnkey construction of a new semiconductor fab in Kuching for a US listed memory company which will begin immediately as the US client is scrambling for capacity to keep up with the surge in memory chip demand. This brings YTD order wins to a new high of RM764m while order-book hits a record RM822m, nearing its current market cap. KGB remains our top hidden gem pick owing to its healthy job pipeline and secular growth story. Maintain OUTPERFORM with a higher TP of RM2.50.
Largest job win; 4x its typical contract size. Kelington Group (KGB) surprised us with its single largest job award ever worth RM420m (4x the size of typical contracts) from a US listed semiconductor manufacturing company at Sama Jaya Free Industrial Zone in Kuching to undertake a turnkey construction for an entire new semiconductor fab, focusing on memory chip. KGB is tasked with handling the whole project, involving all three of its business segments (UHP, Precision Engineering and General Contracting). The job will begin immediately and is slated to be completed by end-2022 as the US customer is urgently in need of new capacity to accommodate the surging demand for its memory and data storage products. This is in line with our observation on the tech space that chip shortage will remain in the foreseeable future as the surge in semiconductor demand continues to outpace capacity expansion.
Orderbook nears current market cap. Inclusive of this recent win, KGB has secured a record-breaking RM764m (vs. FY19 of RM490m) new job wins in 2021, exceeding our expectation of RM500m. Meanwhile, its outstanding order-book has ballooned to another all-time high of RM822m, which is more than double of FY20 revenue. Interestingly, its order-book has grown very close to its current market capitalisation.
Sufficient resources to take on more jobs. The recent completion of one of its large projects in Penang couldn’t have been timelier as this frees up resources for the group to take on the new turnkey job in Kuching. Note that the relationship of higher revenue recognition and overhead expense is nonlinear, which means KGB is able to enjoy economies of scale and better margin as we anticipate the group to achieve back-to-back record revenue and earnings for FY21 and FY22.
Still, more to come. Reiterating our positive view, we expect more fab expansion to come and KGB is in a favourable position to benefit from more UHP jobs, with the management showing no signs of slowing down in terms of securing new jobs. The group’s tender-book remains elevated at RM1.1b.
Raise FY21E-22E earnings by 4% and 33% to RM32.3m and RM47.0m, representing growth of 85% and 46%, respectively.
Maintain OUTPERFORM with a
higher Target Price of
RM2.50 (previously RM1.50)
on FY22E PER of 33x (+1SD to 3-year peer mean), justified by the group’s healthy job pipeline and secular growth story.
Risks to our call include: (i) slower revenue recognition due to Covid-19, (ii) downturn in semiconductor sales, and (iii) delay in liquid CO2 ramp up.

In line with global move towards 5G adoption, Malaysia is also switching off its 3G connectivity to free up the 2100Mhz and 900Mhz for redeployment towards 4G and 5G. With demand for consumer electronics and automotive (especially EVs) showing no signs of slowing, wafer fabs in Asia continue to see the need to expand their capacity, further reinforcing our investment thesis on Kelington Group (OP; TP RM 2.50 ), as a prime beneficiary.
TSMC and other wafer fab players had in recent earnings call stated that they are planning to build more capacity for the automotive industry which typically takes 12-18 months, this explains why automotive semiconductor players (e.g. Infineon, ST Micro and Renesas) are already locking in orders 1-2 years in advance.
Such development continues to favour our
hidden gem pick, KGB / 0151
Kelington Group (OP; TP: RM2.50),
as a prime candidate to benefit from fab expansions in Asia. Even with share price surging more than 3.2x (inclusive of free warrants) since our non-consensus initiation report on 11 Nov 2020, it still remains as our
***high conviction buy ***
as the group is expecting more ultra-high purity gas system (UHP) job awards from fabs in China and Singapore.
Market Chat - 4Q21 Outlook & Strategy - Recovery begins with an ENDemic
Author: MalaccaSecurities | Publish date: Mon, 27 Sep 2021, 11:01 AM
- We believe Covid-19 may turn endemic as more than 80% of the adult population has been vaccinated. That may provide potential economic recovery going forward and we are anticipating some goodies for the construction, tourism, and consumer sectors in the upcoming Budget 2022 to boost the economy.
- Recovery theme play should be interesting under the NRP from 4Q2021 going into 2022 as business activities are likely to return to normalcy by then.
- Also, we like technology and telco on the back of higher adoption for 5G and IoT devices, electric vehicles as well as the 5G rollout story in Malaysia.
Covid-19 status
- Subsiding Covid-19 sub-indicators. Despite the daily cases on the local front still hovering above 15k mark, most of the important indicators such as death toll, hospitalisation rate, ICU occupancy are on a declining trend since two weeks ago.
- Smooth vaccination progress. Nearly 60% of the total population has achieved fully vaccinated status (2 doses), while about 70% of the total population have done at least 1 dose. Meanwhile, Klang Valley (KV) is getting nearer to the 80% mark on the fully vaccinated status.
- Malaysia in gradual recovery mode… Kedah is currently under Phase 1 and most of the states are in Phase 2 and Phase 3. Meanwhile, Labuan and Negeri Sembilan are the regions with Phase 4 status under the National Recovery Plan. PM has announced that offices will be allowed to operate under certain conditions from 17th Sept 2021 if their workforce is 40-60% fully inoculated. Also, interstate travel and tourism activities are allowed when adult vaccination rate is above 90%.
- Crucial 80% target. Although most of the indicators are pointing for a recovery, the downside risk could be the Delta variant. Hence, the 80% fully vaccinated target for Malaysia citizens will be important for the economic recovery going forward. Still, wearing facemasks and social distancing should continue to reduce daily infections.
Economic review and outlook
- The Federal Reserve is less dovish. The Fed maintained its interest rate and asset purchase programme direction, but signals potential interest rate hike by end-2022. However, the next meeting in November may send more clues to future monetary policies. Do note that the Fed is purchasing at least USD120bn of bonds monthly.
- Stimulus packages should be cushioning the downside risks.
- Over the past 1.5 years, Malaysia has put
- in efforts releasing stimulus packages,
- worth roughly RM380bn to support the
- economy. We opine these measures are
- able to cushion the downside risk.
- However, to reboot the economy to the
- fullest potential we think the government
- will need to provide more boosters in the
- upcoming Budget 2022.
- Near term domestic focus. Domestic driven catalysts are likely to be seen in Budget 2022, as the travel borders remained restricted. Thus, higher development expenditure is expected and may benefit the construction sector, while measures or policies related to domestic tourism, automotive and property sectors could be crafted to rekindle the domestic consumption activities.
- Lower expectation on economic growth. In 2020, Malaysia’s GDP contracted -5.6% YoY. Based on Bloomberg consensus, Malaysia’s GDP is projected to grow at a rate of 4.1% and 5.7% in 2021-2022. Do note that MoF has toned down their projections for 2021 to 3-4% (vs. 6.5-7.5% in Budget 2021), and this will be a realistic target as we are coming out of the Covid-19 pandemic environment.
Market review and outlook
- Global markets look overvalued, while the local market is at a discount. The MSCI World Index and S&P500 are trading at 24.2x and 26.7x vs. 10Y avg PE of 19.7x and 19.5x, respectively, while the FBM KLCI is trading at 14.9x PE (10Y avg PE of 17.7x).
- Trading activities slowed down, but foreign funds are returning. YTD average daily trading value (ADTV) dropped 26.2% to RM3.75bn in 2Q21 (1Q21: RM5.08bn). QTD, ADTV has declined further to RM2.85bn. Nevertheless, foreign investors have turned net buyers for the month of August, scooping up RM1.05bn in equities, while MTD registered another RM847.9m of buying flows in the local exchange.
- Big caps were flat, but small caps gained strength. In 3Q21, the FBMKLCI was flat, while FBM Small Cap and FBMACE added 3.0% and 3.1%, respectively. Overall, technology (+23.0%) was the leading sector, followed by the industrial products (+7.7%) sector. Meanwhile, the healthcare and energy sectors lost -13.7% and -9.9% respectively.
- Supercycle commodities are still upward trending. Most of the commodities that have rallied under this Covid-19 pandemic due to shipping disruptions and supply constraints could remain elevated. However, technical readings on Bloomberg Commodity Index might be forming bearish divergence signal.
4Q21 Strategy – Recovery begins with an ENDemic
- Covid-19 induced recession to regain momentum. Economy contracted in 2020, but we opine that the recovery is on its way. With the help of a smooth vaccination drive, 80% of Malaysia’s adult population are fully vaccinated with Covid-19 vaccine and it will be meaningful for businesses to operate under comfortable conditions with less severe Covid-19 conditions. Eventually, rebooting the economic activities in a broader manner and returning to normalcy by 2022.
- Restarting the construction is crucial… Given the international travel restrictions are not uplifted, we expect more infra works to be seen in the upcoming Budget 2022 and that should kick start the economy at least for the domestic front. Also, we favour the building material segment, which is the proxy to the construction sector.
- …and revitalising the domestic economy. While waiting for the international borders to be uplifted, domestic tourism will be important in stimulating the economy. With the Langkawi travel bubble pilot project started recently, we feel the revenge spending is surfacing in a significant manner and that should be a decent catalyst for tourism, aviation and consumer related stocks.
- Technology sector is likely to be the winner.
- Technology sector continues to rise despite the chip shortages issues
- globally; the Bursa Technology Index rose 39% YTD.
-
Technology: KGB
- We believe the adoption in 5G and IoT devices, as well as higher demand in electronic gadgets under the Covid-19 environment will remain as the main catalysts for the sector. Meanwhile, the hype in electric vehicles will continue to provide positive sentiment for the sector.
- Progressive 5G rollouts in Malaysia. Malaysia has setup the National 5G Task Force in Nov 2018 and introduced Jalinan Digital Negara (JENDELA) in Aug 2020 to provide wider coverage and better quality of broadband experience for the Rakyat and it was further supported by the Digital Economy Blueprint – MyDIGITAL that focuses on the rollout of 5G technology going forward, where Malaysia’s 5G network and infrastructure across the whole nation will be done by Malaysia’s single wholesale 5G-network operator - Digital Nasional Berhad (DNB).
