Construction Materials and Road Maintenance Leading construction materials provider. CMS has strategically positioned itself as a one-stop building materials provider, complementing other divisions such as construction and property whereby products can be utilised in-house, thus enhancing the overall profitability margins of the group. The construction materials division consist of i) five quarries commanding an estimated 30% share of stone aggregates sold in Sarawak, ii) six premix plants and a mobile plant with 60% share of concrete and bitumen emulsion market and iii) a single plant to manufacture steel wire and wire mesh. Capitalising on infrastructure growth. Similar to cement, construction materials demand will be underpinned by increased construction activities within the State, especially from SCORE. We conservatively forecast revenue to grow by 9% from 2013-16 on stable margins.
Recurring income from road maintenance concessions. CMS currently receives stable recurring income from two separate concessions to maintain 680km of federal roads and 5,200km of state roads. Having said that, we gather that these concessions are expiring soon in 2017/18. Nevertheless, we assume segment earnings to grow by 3% in 2015 as its state road concession is due for another round of revision in Jan 15. Note that the concession rate was last revised upwards by 9% in 2012. Looking ahead, construction of more roads to satisfy SCORE needs as well as urbanization in the state bode well for the growth outlook of this division. Assuming non-renewal of concessions. We have conservatively assumed nonrenewal of these concessions upon their expiry in 2017/18 reflecting concerns over its perceived political links. That said, we reckon CMS has a strong chance of clinching more concessions in future due to its incumbency and solid track record.
Property Development Vast landbank in Kuching. CMS owns two prime tracts of landbank in Kuching. These include the 3,911 acre land bank which will be developed into a riverine township named Bandar Samariang and 199-acre plot to be developed into Kuching’s new CBD called The Isthmus, some 5km North of the city centre. Unlocking value through property development. We note that massive development plans are in the pipeline and various property launches have been earmarked for the next five years, bringing in an estimated GDV of RM1.7b. On top of property development, management will carry out periodic strategic land sales aimed at catalysing the value of its own adjoining land parcels. …and land sales. CMS has recently sold 500 acres of land In Bandar Samariang to Sentoria Group Berhad for RM47m. First phase of the land measuring 200 acres will be developed into a resort city comprising a water park, MICE facilities and a resort whilst the remaining 300 acres have been earmarked for residential and commercial development. We view the strategic land sales by CMS positively as it will lift the profile of the vicinity and unlocks the value of their adjoining land bank.

EARNINGS AND FINANCIALS Steady earnings growth. We forecast CMS earnings to grow by 3-year CAGR of 15% from RM175m in 2013 to RM269m in 2016, spearheaded by its SCORE investments. Despite the commencement of OMS plant in 2H14, we expect meaningful earnings contribution to flow in only from 2015 onwards due to ramp up of plant operations. Apart from OMS, the group’s bottomline is also supported by other business segments, riding on Sarawak infrastructure growth. Healthy balance sheet. As of end-2013, CMS is sitting on a huge cash pile of RM513m, giving management a sizeable warchest to participate in more valueenhancing investments to shareholders (eg. OMS). We gather that management is studying a few proposals and will only invest if the project meets an internal hurdle rate of 18%. Recall that the local press has recently reported about the potential acquisition of Sacofa, a telecommunication infrastructure player in Sarawak. Should the deal materialize, it will significantly enhance CMS’ earnings as Sacofa is reported to be raking in some net profit of RM60m last year. Upside to dividend payout. CMS has committed to a 30% dividend payout policy, dishing out full-year DPS of 15.8sen in 2013. We continue to project 30% payout going forward but reckon that there is scope for upward revision supported by strong earnings growth and growing cash pile. At current price, CMS is delivering 2015F dividend yield of 2%. RISK FACTORS Construction delay Slowdown in global steel demand (affecting ferroalloy products) Disruption in power supply Non-renewal of road concession (although already factored into our forecast) CATALYSTS Rollout of more mega projects such as hydropower plants further driving cement demand growth Value enhancing acquisitions (eg. Sacofa) Increasing dividend payout from 30% committed currently Listing of key subsidiaries to unlock value

Cahya Mata Sarawak (CMS MK) Technical Buy on Weakness Last price: RM9.87 Target Price : 10.85 Support: RM9.20 CMS’s share price has consistently traded above the long-term trendline over the last five months. Despite rebounding from the low of RM9.20 on 14 Apr 14, CMS was unable to sustain much needed momentum in order to test the recent high of RM11.46. Given the lack of buying interest at the moment as well as the share price trading below both 10-day and 21-day SMA lines, we opine that the short-term outlook has a downside bias as the bearish crossover in Stochastic confirms further correction. Nevertheless, with the overall trend remaining on the upside, the weakness ahead should, in our view, be perceived as an opportunity to accumulate the share at a lower price. We expect CMS to test the immediate support of RM9.20. Thus, investors are recommended to accumulate at RM9.20-RM9.50. Upon normalisation of the selling pressure, CMS should resume trading towards the long-term uptrend line. Stop-loss can be placed below RM8.99.

Lolz....after taib become tyt...only now acc those bad news...lolz...useless dy. . With BN....their business go on as usuall...plus....timber become lesser dy... and all going onto oil palm bisness...
With so many negative comments on Taib, is CMSB on the down trend now and no longer a simple price correction? Is CMSB an index linked counter? Anyone knows when the 1st quarter results of 2014 be announced?
After share split 2:1, bonus issue 1:2, with the TP 12.200, the share price will adjust to 4.070, wish could speed up to 12.000 again in a very short time, then follow by the share split and bonus issues again and again...haha...
It is wrong for some buggers in the business reports to explain off the slide in price was due to HSBC exit from Sarawak.
Simply. My humble opinion is this CMSB price just went through the roof!! Just last September when I bought it was just RM5.05 per share. It went all the way to RM10.50!! If profit went through the roof that can explain the 100% gain but no! It is plain manipulation. They just announce bonus and split and just push the price to stratosphere just before the announcement. So even at RM7 I believe it is over priced. I sold all and will not look back.
Believe that CMSB and DSONIC are ready to rocket soon, enjoy another round of peak again...A bit heart pain and regret for not joining DSONIC due to no money as all in CMSB...CMSB and DSONIC, what a hard choice...Anyway HUAT AH~~~
