Mr. OTB, yes the earnings outlook for YTLP is still looking good despite the efforts of local analysts to overplay the earnings "normalisation" of PowerSeraya.
As I wrote in my last article, PowerSeraya may see profits slightly lower in the current quarter ended 31 Mar 2024 compared to the Dec 2023 quarter, due to the lack of additional profit from long generation into the wholesale pool, after TPC was implemented since July 2023 and the cooler weather in Dec 23 - Jan 24 in Singapore that reduced the electricity demand spikes. That said, I still expect PowerSeraya to report reasonably good earnings of around SGD200 million in this quarter and next, which will contribute about RM700m of net profit to YTLP every quarter.
As CIMB analyst also pointed out in her report last week, Wessex is expected to turn around as early as this quarter ended 31 Mar 2024 and to report some profits from Q4 FY2024 quarter ended 30 June 2024 after the water tariffs are adjusted upwards from 1st April 2024.
Added with improved earnings contribution from Jordan Power and steady earnings from Jawa Power, YTL Power should be able to maintain a net profit of RM800m+ every quarter going forward from existing operations of PowerSeraya, Wessex, Jordan and Jawa Power. This will support an EPS of at least 40 sen a year for YTL Power, before new earning streams kicking in from data centre division, Yes 5G turning around, UK Brabazon property after handling over the keys to 1st batch buyers, WTE plant, digital bank, new 600MW hydrogen-ready CCGT of PowerSeraya from 2028.
