Not a good deal for UMW Oil and Gas, says CIMB Research


The number of active U.S. oil rigs fell to 332 last week, the least since November 2009, according to Baker Hughes Inc.

“Although UMW-OG is planning to buy ICON at 0.82 times P/BV, we are valuing the business at only 0.6 times as the sector is trading at an average P/BV of only 0.4 times. Our DCF analysis of Orkim yields a valuation of RM447mil, lower than the cash acquisition price of RM495mil. 

"The net result is a lower cum-rights target price of 80 sen,” said CIMB Research.
