Counter

KMLOONG (5027)

Target Price (RM)

2.34

Recommendation

Buy

  • KMLOONG’s 1QFY25 core net profit at RM49.5m came above our expectations, driven by higher-than-expected CPO production and reduced operational costs which led to an increased net profit margin.
  • Looking ahead, CPO prices are expected to average at RM3,800/mt in 2H24 as FFB production enters its peak season.
  • We upgrade our recommendation to BUY with a target price of RM2.34 by pegging PE multiple of 15.2x to FY25f EPS of 15.4 sen.
