"Weak ending to FY19 due to lower CPO prices"
IOI Corp’s FY19 core net profit of RM694.7m (-31% yoy) came in below our expectations, mainly due to a weaker-than-expected EBITDA margin. Lower profit from the plantation segment was partially offset by higher contribution from the resource-based manufacturing segment. We cut our FY20-21 core EPS forecasts by 6-8%, mainly to take into account lower CPO production and price assumptions. As such, our DCF-derived 12-month target price has been lowered to RM4.34. Maintain HOLD.
