BROKER CALL-China Communications to get boost from port construction- CLSA
BEIJING (XFN-ASIA) - CLSA said its confidence in the order strength of China Communications Construction Co Ltd was boosted by its meeting with management of the company's main port construction facility.
"Our visit to (northern China's) Caofeidian last week reaffirmed our view on healthy port-construction demand, for which new orders may surprise on the upside," CLSA said.
CLSA said the company's largest port construction subsidiary -- First Navigational Bureau (FNB) at Caofeidian -- is likely to see "major expansion" in bulk and specialized ports.
"FNB projects 26 pct year-on-year growth in revenue and new orders for 2008, ahead of our order-growth estimate of 23 pct for CCC's port, road/bridge and railway construction."
Trading at 15 times expected 2009 earnings, China Communications Construction stock is "attractive" CLSA said.
The note to investors has a "buy" call and a 23.5 hkd target price on the firm.
Hong Kong-listed China Communications Construction closed today at 16.94 hkd, up 0.12 pct.
