UEM Sunrise down after removal from MSCI Malaysia Index

KUALA LUMPUR: UEM Sunrise Bhd’s share price fell to a low of RM1.21 in early Thursday trade, extending its decline from the previous day after it was removed from the MSCI Malaysia Index.
At 9.51am, it was down five sen to RM1.22. There were 682,500 shares done at prices ranging from RM1.20 to RM1.26.
The FBM KLCI rose 3.41 points or 0.21% to 1,806.76. Turnover was 245.84 million shares valued at RM165.89mil. There were 288 gainers, 143 losers and 224 counters unchanged.
MIDF Equities Research said UEM Sunrise was removed in the latest review of constituents of MSCI Provisional Standard Indexes.
MSCI is a benchmark index for measuring investment performance by international investors.
“We believe that the removal of the stock from the index has resulted in the selldown by foreign investors to rebalance their investment portfolio,” it said.
The MSCI Malaysia Index is designed to measure the performance of the large and mid cap segments of the Malaysian market. With 42 constituents, the index covers about 85% of the Malaysian equity universe.
MIDF Research said despite the negative newsflow, “we believe that the fundamentals of UEM Sunrise remain intact”.
“Recall that UEM Sunrise still has unbilled sales of RM3.9bil as of end-FY14. This should provide more than two years of earnings visibility and hence support its FY15 net profit.
“As for new sales, we are keeping our estimate of RM1.95bil which is already lower than management’s target of between RM2bil to RM2.4bil. We maintain our FY15 net profit forecast of RM491mil.
“Further downside on share price is limited as the stock is already trading at all-time low. Current share price of RM1.27 reflects all-time low price/book value of 0.91 times. Also, it reflects a 52% discount to our RNAV estimate of RM2.67 for the stock,” said MIDF Research
