Malaysia Airport Holdings
MAHB has announced that some of its contractors are facing difficulty in meeting the 28 June 2013 opening deadline. No details on a revised completion time and cost overruns were provided. This announcement is not a surprise, and that the market has priced in this risk already. Maintain earnings forecasts and MYR6.60 DCF-based target price. The stock is however downgraded to a HOLD (from BUY) for its narrowed 3% upside to target price.

FY3/13 net profit of MYR235m (+17% YoY) was in line, at 103% and street's full-year estimates. The share price has run up 12% in one-month due to the H7N9 newsflow, although note that the contagion rate has declined of late. Net profit forecasts (FY3/14: +7%, FY3/15: +7%) on better sales volume assumptions, but the impact to EPS is muted as we factor in the potential dilution from its outstanding warrants. Consequently, TP is unchanged at MYR5.40 (15x CY14 PER) and stock is downgraded to HOLD (from BUY), in view of the reduced upside.
