It said on Monday, March 15 that Kencana remains an OUTPERFORM, with the potential re-rating catalysts being active order book replenishment, and mergers and acquisitions.
"Kencana's 2QFY7/10 results are scheduled to be announced on March 25. We expect the company to deliver a net profit of around RM31 million (flat growth YoY and QoQ), bringing 1H bottomline to RM62 million (+3% YoY) or 47% of its full-year forecast. But the results are likely to be 9% lower than consensus estimates," it said.
