Rating Downgrade to MARKET PERFORM from OUTPERFORM
Given lower upside of 8.1% to current share price, we are downgrading our call to MARKET PERFORM. We believe that new wins will be muted for now until project in Arab Saudi comes into play.
Valuation Our target price of RM1.74 is based on CY15 target PER of 13x.
We believe our valuation for BARAKAH is still reasonable as we are valuing it at a 13.3% discount to the 15.0x PER ascribed to industry peers such as ALAM (OP; TP: RM2.07) given its smaller asset base (it currently owns only one pipe-lay support vessel).
Risks to Our Call (i) A downturn in the oil & gas sector could result in delays in contract rollouts.
(ii) Delay in the Pan-Malaysia’s T&I project execution, which will reduce the potential earnings being factored in our forecasts.
winwin007, I think you made the right choice. Good to hold for long term. once projects completed and accounted for then financials will be booming. Good news for all Barakah shareholders!!!!
Sold inari this morning so hand itchy..cannot see got balance in my share trading account..hehe..and got recommendation from starbiz..so test water abit...steelheart..hopefully can get some profit here..:)
KUALA LUMPUR: Maybank IB Research maintains its "buy" call on Barakah Offshore Petroleum Bhd, following its official announcement of the Saudi Arabia transportation and installation contract in February and its existing backlog of orders. The contract, estimated to yield between RM50 million and RM70 million per year, with a total value of up to RM2.5 billion, will see Barakah having a 85:15 partnership with a local operator there. This is the major factor behind Maybank IB's decision to maintain its "buy" call. The research house said Barakah's backlogged orders, which stands at RM2.3 billion as of this month, offers almost concrete three-year earnings visibility. "The tender pipeline is healthy, with a combined value of RM3 billion comprising 77 projects," it said in its research report, while noting that the Saudi job would account for the bulk of the tender value. "As it is, Barakah is confident of consistently replenishing orders worth between RM600 million and RM700 million," it added. Maybank IB has maintained its RM1.85 target price for Barakah. Barakah Offshore was incorporated in Malaysia in 2012 as an investment holding company for PBJV Group Sdn Bhd (PBJV), which involved in offshore pipeline services. PBJV has expanded its activities to include offshore transportation and installation works, hook-up and commissioning, onshore construction and underwater services.

PETALING JAYA: Barakah Offshore Petroleum Bhd, anxiously awaiting the outcome of a multibillion-ringgit Saudi Arabian contract, will expand its presence in the Gulf irrespective of whether it bags the Saudi job.
Barakah, riding high since going public in November, is putting in place bids for 77 projects totalling RM3 bil, including the transportation and installation (T&I) job in Saudi Arabia that could be worth RM2.5 bil.
The company sees the Saudi Arabian bid as the start of its international expansion. “We are looking at increasing our overseas business, because in terms of risk, we cannot rely just on Malaysia and Petronas, although we have our roots here. We have a marketing office [in Saudi Arabia] and will continue to bid for jobs in the area, regardless of whether we win the job,” says Barakah vice-president and chief financial officer Firdauz Edmin Mokhtar.
Barakah is one of three O&G companies shortlisted for the Saudi Arabian contract, the winner of which will be announced at the end of this month, say analysts at Maybank IB Research.
At the moment, Barakah’s operations in Saudi Arabia are limited to a marketing team and an 85:15 joint-venture with a local firm called PBJV Gulf Pte Ltd. The 15% equity was given to a Saudi Arabian company as part of requirements for setting up a business and bidding for jobs in the country. Should the Barakah bid be successful, it will have a year to set up its shore base.
The Saudi job is similar to the Petronas T&I Package A works it secured in December, with the exception of higher day rates. Higher day rates translate into better margins, and Syed Abdul Rahim says this is a standard for jobs open for tender in the country. The job could contribute between RM50 mil and RM70 mil per annum to Barakah’s bottom line for the duration of the contract.
Barakah Offshore Petroleum (BARAKAH MK) Technical BUY with +20.7% potential return Last price : RM1.69 Target Price : RM1.90 Support : RM1.60 Stop-loss: RM1.58 BUY with a target price of RM1.90 with stop loss placed below RM1.58. BARAKAH’s share price breached the immediate resistance of RM1.60 on 22 Apr 14 after consolidating in a tight range since 25 Feb 14. BARAKAH had climbed and hit a new high of RM1.69 before profit-taking activity pulled the share price lower. Nevertheless, the share price remained steady above the rising trendline, thus last Wednesday’s retest of the recent high should signal the potential continuation of the previous uptrend. Given the uptick in the RSI, positive momentum should lend support to the share price so that it can nudge higher and possibly retest the all-time high of RM1.90 in the near term.
I think LA is a cheaper proxy to enter barakah. After Oct, the conversion rate is 1 LA to 1 mother share. Means we buy barakah at RM1.38 based on closing price of barakah LA today. Wht do u think?
Thats correct Jian Bin Siew,if you are willing to invest now & hold thru Oct, the reward is definitely going to be handsome. Mother share may be >2 rm by then :)
