Bursa Malaysia opens mixed
BURSA Malaysia opened mixed on Wednesday, amid a weaker Wall Street performance overnight. At 9.05 am, the FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI (FBM KLCI) rose 2.28 points, or 0.15 per cent, to 1,551.15 from Tuesday's close of 1,548.87. The benchmark index had opened 4.07 points higher at 1,552.94. However, 159 decliners outpaced 121 gainers, while 224 counters were unchanged, 1,914 untraded, and seven suspended. Turnover stood at 162.30 million shares valued at RM69.83 million. Hong Leong Investment Bank (HLIB) expects the FBM KLCI to extend its consolidation as investors await fresh buying catalysts from upcoming corporate earnings releases, in the wake of a tariff-induced global economic slowdown that may dampen domestic economic activity and corporate earnings. 'This cautious outlook will likely persist until a permanent and mutually beneficial trade deal is reached between the United States (US) and key trading partners, including Malaysia,' the investment bank said in a research note today. Additionally, HLIB noted that persistent policy uncertainty from the US President Donald Trump administration and ongoing ambiguity surrounding the US Federal Reserve's rate trajectory would continue to weigh on market sentiment and business confidence. Among heavyweights, TNB and IHH Healthcare rose four sen to RM14.18 and RM6.99, respectively, CelcomDigi increased five sen to RM3.93, Hong Leong Bank advanced 12.0 sen to RM20.02, Press Metal and Petronas Gas were flat at RM4.96 and RM17.72, while Maybank and CIMB fell two sen each to RM10.02 and RM4.49.

A Look At The Intrinsic Value Of Gas Malaysia Berhad (KLSE:GASMSIA)
Gas Malaysia Berhad's estimated fair value is RM4.96 based on 2 Stage Free Cash Flow to Equity Current share price of RM4.10 suggests Gas Malaysia Berhad is potentially trading close to its fair value The RM4.34 analyst price target for GASMSIA is 13% less than our estimate of fair value Today we will run through one way of estimating the intrinsic value of Gas Malaysia Berhad (KLSE:GASMSIA) by taking the expected future cash flows and discounting them to today's value. The Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) model is the tool we will apply to do this. Don't get put off by the jargon, the math behind it is actually quite straightforward. We generally believe that a company's value is the present value of all of the cash it will generate in the future. However, a DCF is just one valuation metric among many, and it is not without flaws. If you still have some burning questions about this type of valuation, take a look at the Simply Wall St analysis model. Check out our latest analysis for Gas Malaysia Berhad We use what is known as a 2-stage model, which simply means we have two different periods of growth rates for the company's cash flows. Generally the first stage is higher growth, and the second stage is a lower growth phase. To start off with, we need to estimate the next ten years of cash flows. Where possible we use analyst estimates, but when these aren't available we extrapolate the previous free cash flow (FCF) from the last estimate or reported value. We assume companies with shrinking free cash flow will slow their rate of shrinkage, and that companies with growing free cash flow will see their growth rate slow, over this period. We do this to reflect that growth tends to slow more in the early years than it does in later years. Generally we assume that a dollar today is more valuable than a dollar in the future, so we need to discount the sum of these future cash flows to arrive at a present value estimate: 2025 2026 2027 2028 2029 2030 2031 2032 2033 2034 Levered FCF (MYR, Millions) RM293.7m RM309.4m RM324.4m RM310.0m RM351.0m RM363.2m RM375.9m RM389.2m RM403.0m RM417.4m Growth Rate Estimate Source Analyst x3 Analyst x4 Analyst x3 Analyst x1 Analyst x1 Est @ 3.46% Est @ 3.51% Est @ 3.53% Est @ 3.55% Est @ 3.57% Present Value (MYR, Millions) Discounted @ 8.3% RM271 RM264 RM255 RM225 RM235 RM225 RM215 RM205 RM196 RM187 ("Est" = FCF growth rate estimated by Simply Wall St)Present Value of 10-year Cash Flow (PVCF) = RM2.3b We now need to calculate the Terminal Value, which accounts for all the future cash flows after this ten year period. For a number of reasons a very conservative growth rate is used that cannot exceed that of a country's GDP growth. In this case we have used the 5-year average of the 10-year government bond yield (3.6%) to estimate future growth. In the same way as with the 10-year 'growth' period, we discount future cash flows to today's value, using a cost of equity of 8.3%. Terminal Value (TV)= FCF2034 × (1 + g) ÷ (r – g) = RM417m× (1 + 3.6%) ÷ (8.3%– 3.6%) = RM9.1b Present Value of Terminal Value (PVTV)= TV / (1 + r)10= RM9.1b÷ ( 1 + 8.3%)10= RM4.1b The total value is the sum of cash flows for the next ten years plus the discounted terminal value, which results in the Total Equity Value, which in this case is RM6.4b. To get the intrinsic value per share, we divide this by the total number of shares outstanding. Compared to the current share price of RM4.1, the company appears about fair value at a 17% discount to where the stock price trades currently. The assumptions in any calculation have a big impact on the valuation, so it is better to view this as a rough estimate, not precise down to the last cent. Now the most important inputs to a discounted cash flow are the discount rate, and of course, the actual cash flows. Part of investing is coming up with your own evaluation of a company's future performance, so try the calculation yourself and check your own assumptions. The DCF also does not consider the possible cyclicality of an industry, or a company's future capital requirements, so it does not give a full picture of a company's potential performance. Given that we are looking at Gas Malaysia Berhad as potential shareholders, the cost of equity is used as the discount rate, rather than the cost of capital (or weighted average cost of capital, WACC) which accounts for debt. In this calculation we've used 8.3%, which is based on a levered beta of 0.800. Beta is a measure of a stock's volatility, compared to the market as a whole. We get our beta from the industry average beta of globally comparable companies, with an imposed limit between 0.8 and 2.0, which is a reasonable range for a stable business. Strength Earnings growth over the past year exceeded the industry. Debt is not viewed as a risk. Dividends are covered by earnings and cash flows. Weakness Earnings growth over the past year is below its 5-year average. Dividend is low compared to the top 25% of dividend payers in the Gas Utilities market. Opportunity Good value based on P/E ratio and estimated fair value. Threat Annual earnings are forecast to decline for the next 3 years. Whilst important, the DCF calculation shouldn't be the only metric you look at when researching a company. It's not possible to obtain a foolproof valuation with a DCF model. Rather it should be seen as a guide to "what assumptions need to be true for this stock to be under/overvalued?" If a company grows at a different rate, or if its cost of equity or risk free rate changes sharply, the output can look very different.
