At 9.34am, Salcon rose 1.5 sen to 64 sen with 2.03 million shares done.
In a note today, the research house said it expects a strong EPS CAGR of 90% from FY15-17, largely be driven by the acceleration of progress billings from the RM600 million orderbook (big chunk from Langat 2 Water Treatment Plant), maiden contributions from Volsbahn Technologies S/B and profit recognition from rés28 in Selayang upon its full completion.
HLIB Research said Salcon is currently bidding a total tender book over RM2.2 billion (80% domestic and 20% overseas) with management's target of a 20-30% success rate.
“We derive our target price of 84 sen based on peers’ comparison P/B of 0.99 on latest BVPS of 85 sen, supported by strong netcash/share of 29.5 sen (47% of share price) and attractive DY of 5.6%.
“The recent decisive downtrend line breakout is expected to lift share prices further towards 73 sen-78 sen in the medium to long term, supported by bullish indicators.
“Key supports are 58 sen-60.5 sen. Cut loss at 57.5 sen,” it said.
