Head of Research InterPacific Research, Pong Teng
Siew, projected a fair value of RM5.80 a share for FGV in the first month of
listing.
He said the valuation, among others, is based on the company’s potential geographical expansion and cost reduction when its main focus is trained on business in the international market.
“The benefits derived from its collaboration with foreign investors will also play an important role not only in respect of economies of scale but also improved competitiveness as well as opening up scope for business expansion, he added.
Meanwhile, Maybank Investment Bank chief executive officer Datuk Tengku Zafrul Tengku Abdul Aziz said the fair value of FGV shares can reach RM6 if nothing out of the ordinary happens.
“We have seen the performance of Gas Malaysia when its IPO was oversubscribed several times although the market was uncertain at that time.
“FGV is expected to show similar performance because it has the same qualities in terms of financial strength, dividend payments, and involvement in the right business sector,” he said.
