Outperform - TP RM0.54
"Record-Breaking, Sticky Growth Ahead"
TECHBND’s FY24 results met expectation. Its core net profit more than doubled driven by higher sales volume of its adhesive products and full year contribution from Malaysian Adhesives and Chemicals (MAC). Moving forward, the integration of MAC and the expansion of its upstream polymer operations is expected to further boost earnings. We maintain our forecasts but raise our TP by 8% to RM0.54 (from RM0.50). Maintain OUTPERFORM as recent price correction offers accumulating opportunity.

Malacca Securities TOP PICKS 2ND HALF 2024...
- With the earnings from the AI theme expected to grow, coupled with the Fed hinting on rate cut this year, we expect Wall Street to stay positive at least for the rest of 2024. Buying interest is likely to spillover on the local front, with data center, AI, and cloud services driving the markets higher on various fronts, coinciding with the stronger July month on Bursa exchange.
• For the data center and AI catalysts, it may benefit the Construction, Property, Building Materials, and Utilities sectors, while the Technology sector may catch up in the long run as we may turn into SEA chip powerhouse.
• Meanwhile, we believe the Renewable Energy and Technology will be tagged towards the growth and ongoing execution within the NETR and NIMP. Other key sectors that we like include Furniture, Shipping and Consumers.

“Cost Synergy Misses, Prospects Intact”
TECHBND’s 9MFY24 results disappointed as cost synergy from integration with Malaysian Adhesives and Chemicals (MAC) fell short. Nonetheless, its 9MFY24 core net profit more than tripled YoY driven by strong demand for its adhesive products and maiden contribution from MAC. We maintain our forecasts, TP of RM0.50 and OUTPERFORM call.
