DJ MARKET TALK: MS Keeps Chalco At Underweight; Still "Expensive"

1529 [Dow Jones] Morgan Stanley shares some analysts' view that Chalco's (2600.HK) earnings set to recover in 2H; thinks Chalco will be profitable in 2H, says there is still chance company will achieve full-year EPS forecast, especially with management's focus on lower costs.

Still, MS doesn't agree with buying Chalco at current levels; says stock trades at 1.9X 2010 P/BV with 4% ROE, 49.8X FY10 P/E makes shares even less attractive vs Alcoa at 25X. Even if applying house's bull-case pricing assumption, Chalco would trade at 29X FY10 P/E, "still looks expensive."

Keeps Underweight call, HK$7.73 target price

Not vested. From Phillips:-

Risk

Macro-economy may bottom again and suppress the aluminum price.

The thermal coal and other cost items are adjusted upwards dramatically.


The valuation level is reasonable

Based on the hypothesis of increasing sales volume and aluminium price, we expect the revenue will be RMB63.7 and 78.5 billion, with the -17% and 23% increase. And the Company will make a loss of RMB 1.24 billion in 2009 and regain a profit of RMB3.21 billion in 2010, converting into the EPS at RMB -0.09 and 0.23. And its BVPS will stand at RMB 3.99 and 4.17.

Because of the unstable performance, we valuate the Company according to the P/B ratio. The average P/B is 1.88 for the CHALCO, which also equals to the middle level for historical international metals valuation, but still lower than present average 3X. Taking consideration of inflation expectation and long-term growth of Chinese metals industry, we give the Company P/B 2 x 2010 BVPS, with 12-month target price at HK$9.50 and the Hold rating.

Waiting to short this counter.

DJ MARKET TALK: MS Ups Chalco To Equalweight; Target HK$9.20

0945 [Dow Jones] STOCK CALL: Morgan Stanley upgrades Aluminum Corp. of China (2600.HK) to Equalweight from Underweight, raises target to HK$9.20 from HK$7.73. Expects aluminum prices look well-supported at current levels, while its new target implies 10X FY11 base case EPS and 11X on normalized EPS.

Notes Chinese overcapacity not a major concern, with re-start of idled capacity from late 2008, China's monthly aluminum production rose to 1.36 million tons as of November 2009, highest level in past 3 years. "Whilst we expect China to become a net exporter again, the potentially higher raw-material and energy costs, driven by the country's reliance on imported thermal coal and bauxite/alumina, should keep exports under control."

Raises its FY10 EPS forecast to CNY0.62 from CNY0.28, FY11 EPS to CNY0.81 vs CNY0.64. Stock down 5.4% at HK$9.82 at pre-market.
