TPV Technology downgraded to 'neutral' by CIMB

Stock Name: TPV
Company Name: TPV TECHNOLOGY LIMITED
Research House: CIMBPrice Call: HOLDTarget Price: 0.58



CIMB in an Aug 25 research report says: "2Q11 net profit of US$28 million (-36% y-o-y) is about 21% below consensus and our forecasts as higher-than-expected GP margins were pulled down by lower-than-expected sales and a higher opex ratio.

"1H11 net profit of US$70 million forms 40% consensus and 39% of our full-year forecasts. We cut our FY2011-2013 profit forecasts by 12-20% to assumer lower LCD-TV sales and margins. We also apply the low end of its P/BV valuations back in FY08 when its earnings slipped to derive our new target price of 58 cents (down from 95 cents, 0.95x P/BV) in view of its near-term unexciting outlook.

"Although the stock is not expensive, we see little positive news flow for a re-rating. DOWNGRADE TO NEUTRAL."
