$KMLOONG / 5027 (KIM LOONG RESOURCES BERHAD)
Research by Apex
Hold – TP of MYR2.05
“Above expectations”
KMLOONG’s FY24 core net profit at RM203.6m came above our expectations, driven by higher-than-expected CPO production and reduced operational costs which led to an increased net profit margin. Looking ahead, CPO prices are expected to average at RM4,000/mt backed by festive season consumption and heightened biodiesel demand. We maintain our HOLD recommendation with a target price of RM2.05 by pegging PE multiple of 14.2x to FY25f EPS of RM0.14.
