Malayan Cement expected to benefit from key infrastructure projects
Bloomberg data showed that all six institutional analysts covering MCement recommended 'buy', with a consensus target price of RM6.39. This translates into a 20.5% potential upside.
MIDF Research highlighted that MCement is poised to benefit from civil projects, such as the construction of the Penang Light Rail Transit (LRT) and the redevelopment of Kuala Lumpur Sentral, as well as private projects, including data centres, warehouses and semiconductor factories.
It said ongoing projects such as the likes of the East Coast Rail Link (ECRL), Rapid Transit System (RTS) and LRT 3 will also sustain demand for cement.
Meanwhile, CGS International pointed out that MCement had achieved a 40% cement market share in Singapore, and that demand for cement in Singapore is expected to grow, due to a slew of megaprojects, such as Changi Terminal 5, integrated resorts' expansion, the Tuas megaport and Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) projects.
MCement posted a 60% jump in 3QFY2024 net profit to RM101.24 million, from RM63.28 million a year ago, on an increase in revenue of 10.9% to RM1.10 billion from RM990.71 million.
