Cahya Mata Sarawak (CMS MK) 3Q24: Impacted by FX losses
Core profit above expectations; maintain BUY
CMS’ 3Q24 headline net loss of MYR9m included a MYR75m unrealised FX loss at its phosphate ops.
Excluding this, 3Q core net profit was MYR66m, bringing 9M24 core net profit to MYR126m, above expectations at 85% of our FY24E and 92% of consensus – the beat coming from its cement ops (on better-than-expected margins).
No change to our earnings forecasts as we expect reversal of some of 3Q’s unrealised FX loss in 4Q.
Our unchanged TP of MYR1.60 is based on 10x FY25E PER (-0.5SD of LT mean). The stock remains undervalued, trading at 7.5x FY25E PER and 0.4x P/B. BUY.
