  Collin Soo Congratulation to all shareholders..Although i don't have MFCB, but i hope my JAKS will perform well like MFCB by end of this year. 15/01/2020 3:55 PM Jaack1 https://cdn1.i3investor.com/my/files/dfgs88n/2020/01/16/1512572546--614335868.pdf PUBLIC INVESTMENT BANK LATEST REPORT. 12 MONTHS TARGET RM 6.29 16/01/2020 9:43 AM pjseow Jaack, thanks fir sharing the good news. Tgt price increased from.rm 5.71 to 6.29 。MFCB will continue to move up 16/01/2020 10:34 AM  probability MFCB - Begins Transmission To Cambodia Date: 16/01/2020 Source : PUBLIC BANK Stock : MFCB Price Target : 6.29 | Price Call : BUY Last Price : 5.46 | Upside/Downside : +0.83 (15.20%) We came away from our meeting with Mega First (MFCB) last Friday with the confirmation that constructions of the Don Sahong Hydropower plant together with the transmission lines in Laos and Cambodia have been fully completed. All four turbines are fully commissioned amid the on-going dry season in Laos. The company is also escalating the process for the construction of a 5th turbine which is expected to take about 2 years. Given the softer global interest rate environment, we impute lower borrowing costs at both the operating (Don Sahong plant) and Group (MFCB) levels, which consequently lifts our SOP based TP to RM6.29 (RM5.71 previously). Outperform call is affirmed. Selling 195MW to Cambodia. 195MW of power generated from 3 turbines is transmitted from the plant in the Champassak province to the Stung Treng electricity substation in Cambodia through the new high voltage 500kV transmission lines. The remaining 65MW will be channeled to the Ban Hat substation for domestic usage. Under the purchase agreement, the Cambodian government will buy a total of 2,900MW from Laos between 2020 and 2027, of which 500MW will come from hydropower plants at a price of 7.29 US cents/kWh and 2,400MW from coal-fired power plants for 7.70 US cents/kWh. Meanwhile, Electricite du Laos will purchase the power from the Don Sahong hydropower plant at a price of 6.15 US cents/kWh based on a “take or pay” basis. Depending on the availability of electricity production. Though the four turbines have a combined installed capacity of 260MW/hour which can generate up to 2,000 GWh p.a., electricity production will ultimately be subject to water levels. Based on our channel checks, water levels have dropped by 10% from its normal level as the country is currently experiencing dry weather conditions until late-April. The utilization rate is expected to be lower in the coming months, averaging 76%-81%. Our assumption is based on a full-year utilization rate of 88% as electricity production could potentially hit maximum capacity during the wet period in May-Sept. 5th turbine on the way. Management has received approval-in-principle for a 5th turbine at the same site. The targeted capacity is around 50MW-65MW with an expected capex of USD50m-60m. Management plans to speed up the approval process before its EPCC contractor, Sinohydro re-mobilizes its resources elsewhere. It will be a key re-rating catalyst for the Group, potentially contributing an additional 20%-25% to the Group’s bottomline starting from 2022. Lower borrowing costs. We cut our assumption on the finance cost by 1.5% at both the operating (Don Sahong) and Group (MFCB) levels in light of the softer interest rate environment. However, the earnings impact is relatively small as the cost saving was offset by lower earnings forecasts on the resources segment given the weak global demand. Our TP is consequently lifted to RM6.29 from RM5.71. Meanwhile, management had earlier guided that the Don Sahong project cost will be lowered from USD401m to USD366m given the lower-than-expected borrowing costs 16/01/2020 10:36 PM pjseow limcs, sure we are interested. Had maybank.given.a.similar upgrade like what public invest did? The.last tgt price.from maybank.was 5.50. 17/01/2020 10:57 AM limcs @pjseow, hopefully maybank can give higher tp :) such as RM 9 ! just kidding 17/01/2020 11:04 AM utopia86 I honestly think that @shareinvestor88 is one of the stock market guru who constantly on sell call so that he can collect. He might potentially holding huge amount of sold ticket from the sell call. He is extremely smart!! 17/01/2020 4:13 PM LouiseS MFCB's main business segment is building and operation of the new power plant at Laos. MFCB's earning performance has been overall rising in last five years, whereby its earning per share overall increased from 27.5 sen to 33sen.
