On The Platter



PARKSON (TP RM5.50– Buy)
Initiating Coverage: A Consumer Retail Behemoth
We initiate coverage on Parkson Holdings (PHB) with a BUY based on a RNAV of RM5.50, valuing the stock at 17.5x CY10 EPS. Despite the 45% appreciation in its share price over the past 3 months, we think there is still scope for further upside premised on (i) the strong recovery in China’s domestic economy which will boost retail sentiment, and
(ii) the good prospects for its Vietnam operation. PHB provides an attractive and cheap exposure to Hong Kong-listed Parkson Retail Group (PRG), which is trading at a 12-month forward PE of 23x. The stock will also benefit from being a constituent of the new FBM KLCI come July 6.
