This is a personal investment blog where I keep important research articles relating to KLSE companies.

Gas Malaysia

Stable Cash with Net Cash Position

  • Gas Malaysia (GMB) is one of the only two natural gas (NG) supplier in Peninsular Malaysia (the other is Petronas Gas).
  • GMB will cover new market with initial demand of < 5mmscfd (previously 2mmscfd), giving more upside to GMB market share. GMB is effectively monopolizing this market segment with no direct competitor.
  • GMB Margin is under government’s discretion.
  • The demand for NG is likely to stay robust given its relative advantages and government’ initiatives to meet low emission target by 2020.
  • GMB had signed agreement with PGB to increase NG supply to 492mmscfd by 2015 (currently 382mmscfd) on a step up basis, in order to meet the increasing demand.
  • Stable earnings and cash flow, ensuring stable dividend payout. GMB will payout at least 75% of earnings, which translate into 4-5% net dividend yield.
  • We believe the fair value for GMB is RM2.55 based on 22x FY13 P/E and 3.4x FY13 P/B.

Everything is fine except the last point sound not convincing, GMB should adjust the price/unit, the fair value for GMB wish to be RM2.0; fair value.

RM1.5 means must have pressure from public, then public to Gov. I still believe that they still can adjust to 2.0 before launch. GMB, PLEASE.

How can the dividend yield be 4-5% when PE is 22x and the payout ratio is 75%. Based on this PE and payout ratio the dividend yield should be 3.4%.

I have a tendency to support your calculation. we have to scrutinize the finer points lest we get caught like the recent IPO skp. It should be cheaper like 1.90 - 2.00 perhaps can consider very bad sentiments globally.

I think I got his calculation he is using RM2.55 for 22x PE and this gives the value of about 4% based on the IPO price of RM 2.20.
