International Nickel Indonesia (INCO.IJ) TP4,400
ON THE PLATTER:
International Nickel Indonesia (INCO IJ; TRADING BUY; TP IDR 4,400): Company update Get a Piece of This Mine
We believe the fall in INCO’s share price (-24% YTD and underperforming the JCI by 29%) on worries over faltering global economic growth, the resignation of several directors and potentially lower production in 4Q11 due to the temporary shutdown of one of its furnaces, make the stock a TRADING BUY as it is at trading only 9.3x and 8.4x 2011-12 PER. INCO rightly deserves a higher valuation given its healthy balance sheet, initiatives to expand production to 90k tonnes and strong commitment to cost efficiency via its Karebbe hydro-generation facilities. However, we lower our target price to IDR4,400 from IDR4,900 previously to factor in: i) the recent nickel price decline as global economic conditions weaken, and ii) an increase in our perception of execution risk due to concerns on management resignations.
A potential slowdown. The Purchasing Manager Index (PMI) manufacturing data for August revealed that China and the Eurozone are showing no signs of expansion as their PMI levels remained below 50. This has dampened sentiment on the LME nickel market, which we expect to lead to lower average selling prices for INCO in 3Q11. Since the end of 2Q11, LME nickel price had averaged at USD20,852/tonne, bringing the YTD average to only USD24,801/tonne. As this is lower than our FY11 assumption of USD25,000/tonne, we are lowering our nickel price assumption (please see the next paragraph).
Changes in our nickel price and WACC assumptions. We are revising downwards our 2011 nickel price assumption from USD25,000/tonne to USD24,000/tonne to factor in the recent dip in LME nickel price. We also increase our execution risk perception due to concerns on the recent management resignations. This accordingly we increase our beta assumption to 1.3 from 1.0 previously, raising our WACC assumption to 13.4% from 12.7% previously. All in, we derive at a DCF target price of IDR4,400.
Cheap valuation; The right momentum for a TRADING BUY. We are upgrading INCO to TRADING BUY from NEUTRAL as we think that its valuations are sufficiently attractive at 9.3x and 8.4x 2011-12 PE given the stock’s sharp 29% YTD underperformance against the JCI.
