HLG: 28 Feb Boustead Heavy Industries - Back to black, declares dividend

Boustead Heavy Industries BUY
Price target RM9.00
Share price at 27 Feb RM6.05

Investment summary
BHIC returned to profitability in FY07, and exceeded our forecast by 60%, albeit from a low base. Revenue and margin expansion indicate that BHIC is back in business, and re-affirm our BUY rating on the stock. We remain bullish on BHIC because: (1) BHIC is negotiating for the next batch of 4-6 Offshore Patrol Vessels (OPV), valued at RM1.2bn-RM1.4bn/vessel (2) management expect to secure the Petronas’s offshore structure fabrication license which enables BHIC to bid for new platform projects valued at >RM8bn in the next five years. BHIC was awarded a RM90m steel structure job from CPOC in Feb08, their first O&G job since 2002.

Set for the next level
FY07 results were positive, but order book expansion remains BHIC’s key share price driver: BHIC has won RM500m jobs in the last 12 months, and we think they are likely to win RM1bn in FY08.
