PublicInvest Research rates KL Kepong as Neutral

PublicInvest Research said Kuala Lumpur Kepong’s (KLK) 1HFY15 core net profit of RM406.6mil was below its and consensus forecasts, accounting for 41% and 39% of full-year estimates respectively.

Both plantation and manufacturing segments contributed to the lower earnings.

"We cut our earnings forecast for FY15-17 by 2-4% after revising our CPO forecast for KLK from RM2,525 a tonne to RM2,321. Nevertheless, we maintain our Neutral call with a higher TP of RM22.86 (from RM21.82), after rolling over our valuations to CY16," it said.
