CelcomDigi (CDB MK) Second year of integration
Sequentially lower earnings 1Q24 results were in line with our expectation, but possibly below consensus. CelcomDigi’s investment thesis revolves mainly around realising merger synergies - which are significant (MYR8b NPV over 5 years) but back-loaded. Maintain HOLD with an unchanged DCF-based TP of MYR4.50. We prefer Axiata (AXIATA MK, BUY, CP: MYR2.84, TP: MYR3.50) in the telco space.

Delfi Ltd (S$0.885, unchanged) has provided a brief update on the Group’s operaTIons for the fi rst quarter this year. The Group recorded lower EBITDA for 1Q 2024 on the back of consolidated Net Sales lower Y-o-Y by 5.3% as reported for the period in the Group’s US Dollar reporTIng currency. The reduction in sales was driven by lower Y-o-Y sales in Indonesia and Regional Markets by 6.6% and 2.5%, respecTIvely. In constant currency terms, sales in Indonesia were lower by 4.7%, while they were higher in Regional Markets by 2.5%. When compared to Net Sales from the previous quarter of 4Q 2023, our 1Q 2024 performance was higher by 15.2% in our reporting currency. At S$0.885, Delfi is capitalized at S$540.9mln and trades at 1.5x P/B and forward P/E of 8.6x. Dividend yield represents an aƩ racƟ ve 6.6%. Key markets of Indonesia, Philippines and Malaysia are forecasted to achieve GDP growth of between 4.0% - 7.0%. Cocoa prices have dropped since its peak last seen in mid-Apr’24, although prices remain tripled since a year ago. While Delfi has signifi cantly hedged raw material prices for 2024, margins support for 2025 will depend on Delfi ’s cost containment iniƟ aƟ ves and ability to pass price adjustments to consumers. Consensus estimates of S$1.20 represent a 35.6% potential upside. In view of Delfi ’s cheap valuations both historically and versus its peers, maintain Accumulate.

Valuetronics performed in line with market expectations thanks to the higher interest rate environment which benefitted their interest income takings while the easing of component shortages and better product mix saw gross profit up marginally despite the 17% decline in sales. We believe Valuetronics’ performance should remain resilient in the year ahead thanks to the higher for longer rate environment and continued easing of component shortage issues while new customer demand should help to mitigate existing customer demand weakness. At its last close of 64.5 cents, Valuetronics is valued at $278mln and trades at 1x book and 10x PE. Trading at a dividend yield of 6.6% and with 70% of its market cap backed by net cash and with management’s intention to continue its share buy back program (having spent only HK$79mln against its target of HK$250mln) we believe the stock will remain well-supported and resilient. We maintain an “Accumulate” rating and note that consensus target price is 70-75 cents. |
