15-08-2007: CBIP to get more Modipalm contracts

ASEAMBANKERS Equity Research has maintained a “buy" call on CB Industrial Product (CBIP) with a higher target price of RM5.70 (from RM5.40 previously) after rolling forward its valuation to 13 times mid-09 earnings per share (EPS).

CBIP recently received a contract from Felda worth RM79 million to supply, construct, fabricate, install and commission a continuous sterilisation system (Modipalm) for seven 45MT/hr palm oil mills.

This showed that CBIP has gained the confidence of Felda as it is the third contract awarded by the country's largest plantation owner since February 2006, it said.

Aseambankers Research said with these projects, CBIP's latest unbilled sales totalled RN339 million (or 2.1 times FY06 contract turnover).

“We understand more contracts are in the pipeline as the management is targeting another RM200 million of new contracts over
the next 12 months," said the research house.
