Buy - TP RM0.53
"Solidly Outpacing Projections; Stay BUY"
Stay BUY, new MYR0.53 TP from MYR0.50, 58% upside with 3% FY25F (Jun) yield. Gabungan AQRS’ 18MFY24 (Jun) core profit of MYR43.7m beat our estimates, accounting for 115% and 112% of our and Street full-year projections. The positive deviation was due to the stronger-than-expected construction segment. Aside from its track record in previous infrastructure rail projects, its property project in Johor Bahru – The Peak (GDV: MYR603m) – may enjoy further visibility due to its proximity with the Johor Bahru-Singapore Rapid Transit System (RTS) Link station.

“Prospects Intact Despite Temporary Blip; Stay BUY”
BUY, MYR0.43 TP, 28% upside with 3% FY25F yield. Gabungan AQRS’ 9M24 core profit of MYR21m (-0.4% YoY) made up only 42% of our 18- month FY24 projection. The negative deviation was due to lower-than expected construction earnings. Plans to ease conditions of the “Malaysia My Second Home” scheme may underpin unit sales of its property project, The Peak, in Johor – which would be a key earning drivers post-Light Rail Transit 3 (LRT3) in CY24/CY25, given its proximity to the Johor Bahru Singapore Rapid Transit System Link (RTS Link) station in Bukit Chagar.

“Slowly But Surely; Keep BUY”
Keep BUY, with new MYR0.43 TP from MYR0.40, 33% upside and c.3% FY24F (Jun) yield. 6M24 core profit of MYR14m (-0.4% YoY) missed estimates – accounting for 24% of our 18-month FY24F. The negative deviation was from higher-than-expected cost of sales. The potential review of the “Malaysia My Second Home” programme may underpin unit sales of its property project, The Peak, in Johor Bahru – serving as a key earnings driver post-Light Rail Transit 3 (LRT3) in CY24-25.

“Dragged by LAD but Order Book Remains Sizeable”
Maintain BUY. Based on the group’s outstanding construction order book, unbilled property sales and upcoming launches, AQRS has about RM1.5b in future gross revenue that can be recognised up to CY25F. With the recently concluded state elections, we can expect the government to focus more on rolling out necessary development and infrastructure projects, including the construction and rehabiliatation of government buildings and schools, which are within AQRS’ scope of expertise. All factors considered, we maintain our BUY recommendation on AQRS.
