FJ Benjamin Holdings rated 'buy' by Kim Eng

Stock Name: FJBen
Company Name: F J BENJAMIN HOLDINGS LTD
Research House: Kim EngPrice Call: BUYTarget Price: 0.39



Kim Eng Research in an Aug 23 research report says: "FJ Benjamin (FJB) delivered net profit of $13.0 million (+56.9% y-o-y) on revenue of $353.9 million (+22.3% y-o-y) for FY Jun11. Excluding forex losses and exceptional items, the results were largely in line with our forecasts.

"A dividend of 2 cents per share was also declared, which translated to an attractive yield of 6.3%. Despite FJB's in-line FY Jun11 performance, we cut our FY Jun12F-14F profit by 10-15% as we expect the current economic uncertainties to eventually dampen consumer demand in Asia. Peer valuation also has declined.

"Our target price is pegged to the stock's five-year average PER of about 15x on FY Jun12F EPS, thus lowering it to 39 cents (previously 50 cents). MAINTAIN BUY."
