DMG cuts Indofood Agri target to $2.41, keeps buy

Stock Name: IndoAgri
Company Name: INDOFOOD AGRI RESOURCES LTD.
Research House: DMGPrice Call: BUYTarget Price: 2.41



DMG & Partners has cut its target price for Singapore-listed palm oil firm Indofood Agri Resources (IFAR.SI) to $2.41 from $2.79 but kept its buy rating.

DMG & Partners has cut its 2011 earnings forecast for Indofood by 13.8%, due to the dilution of its stake in 72% owned subsidiary PT Salim Ivomas Pratama (PT SIMP) after its listing in Indonesia.

However, DMG noted that Indofood is committed to spending $230 million to acquire new palm oil businesses outside Indonesia, which could be a catalyst for the stock to re-rate.
Indofood’s valuations also look attractive as it is trading at 10 times its 2011 earnings per share, compared to around mid-teens levels for its peers.
At 9:34 a.m., shares of Indofood were 0.63% higher at $1.16. They have lost 42.5% since the start of the year.
