Mah Sing Group RM2.44: Buy
Starts small, aims big Shariah-compliant

Attractive land deal. We are excited over MSGB’s latest involvement in DBKL’s privatized urban regeneration project along Jln Tun Razak. More importantly, MSGB could be invited for the development of the remaining 54 acres land (worth RM8b GDV). We maintain our earnings forecasts and Buy call. While the deal would enhance our RNAV by about 7 sen, our RNAV is lowered by 11 sen to RM3.16, factoring the potential dilutive impact from its RM325m convertible bond issuance.

CB Industrial Product Holding RM4.16: Buy
New RM171m contract win Shariah-compliant

Potential upside to earnings. CBIP has clinched a RM171m contract to assemble special purpose vehicle from the government. We estimate the contract to lift our 2011-13 net profit forecasts by 3-8%, with a potential 14 sen upside (+3%) to our target price. Our earnings forecasts are maintained for now pending further updates from recent proposed estates disposal. Maintain Buy with an unchanged TP of RM4.75 (7x 2011 PER).
