CGS International Maintains Bullish View On Malakoff Ahead Of Tenders

REGION - CENTRAL > NEWS KUALA LUMPUR, July 25 (Bernama) -- CGS International Securities Malaysia Sdn Bhd remains positive on Malakoff Corporation Bhd, citing its strong position to secure upcoming Energy Commission tenders amid rising power demand and the urgent need to ensure supply stability and reserve margins. The brokerage stated that its outlook is underpinned by Malakoff's established track record in thermal plant development and operations, supported by its ready-to-deploy plans, sites, and assets. 'We estimate the plant extensions could generate at least RM40 million in annual net profit from 2026,' it said in a research note. bootstrap slideshow 'This will be further supported by the RM950 million mini-hydro project and the RM660 million waste-to-energy (WTE) plant, which we forecast could contribute a combined RM35 million in net profit annually.' CGS International said a potential win for a 1.4 gigawatt greenfield gas plant could add at least RM200 million in recurring annual net profit and RM1 billion in equity value, equivalent to 20 sen per share, based on its back-of-the-envelope calculations. Together, these projects offer strong earnings visibility, backed by long-term power purchase agreements (PPAs) and concessions. While Malakoff's share price has rebounded from its recent lows, the firm sees further upside potential, driven by a pipeline of unpriced assets, including the mini-hydro and WTE plants, its stake in E-Idaman, and potential PPA extensions for the GB3, Prai Power, and Segari plants. 'We also see Malakoff as a strong contender for new gas-fired plant contracts,' it said. On May 10, 2025, the Energy Commission called for proposals for new gas-fired generation capacity in Peninsular Malaysia through competitive bidding, comprising two categories: (1) an expansion of existing plants and (2) development of new plants.
