UOB ups Super Group target price

Stock Name: SuperGroup
Company Name: SUPER GROUP LTD.
Research House: UOB KayHianPrice Call: BUYTarget Price: 2.24



UOB Kay Hian raised  its share price target for instant beverage maker Super Group to $2.24 from $1.87 and maintained its buy rating, saying falling commodity prices could translate into higher margins.

Super Group shares were flat at $1.88 and have gained about 43% since the start of the year.

The brokerage said it saw margins improving as prices of coffee and sugar have fallen more than 30% from their peak in the first half of 2011.

UOB said Super Group was a proxy for Myanmar, as about 16% of last year’s revenue came from the re-emerging Southeast Asian country of 54 million  people, adding that growing consumerism indicated good long-term prospects.

Super Group also offers a proxy to rising coffee consumption in Indonesia, the brokerage said, adding that its joint venture with Petra Foods gives it access to a strong distribution network across the country.

“Other than a good potential in the branded consumer goods segment in Indonesia, we think that Super’s ingredient sales division will also get a strong boost from its joint venture, which has raised its visibility,” UOB said.
