OSK Research maintains Buy on Dialog, target price RM1.47

KUALA LUMPUR: OSK Research is maintaining its Buy call on DIALOG GROUP BHD [] and its target price is RM1.47 based on sum-of-parts valuation.

On Thursday, Oct 7, Dialog announced the Johor approved to award Dialog the exclusivity to develop an independent deepwater petroleum terminal at Pengerang, Johor for a period of 60 years.

However, this approval is subject to the outcome of a detailed feasibility and environmental impact assessment.

'We understand that the technical part of the feasibility study has been completed and this concluded that the site is suitable for land reclamation of about 500 acres and the phased CONSTRUCTION [] of approximately 5 million cubic metres of storage capacity for the proposed terminal. Nevertheless, the environmental impact assessment is still in progress,' the research house said on Friday, Oct 8.

OSK Research said it is good that Dialog had received the 'go ahead' from the Johor Government to build the independent deepwater storage terminal for oil products in Pengerang.

'This is because it will be difficult to move to the next stage of development otherwise. Hence, since the Government has given its green light, we believe it would be a matter of time for the environmental impact assessment to be completed and once done, we believe Dialog will start with the Phase 1 construction,' it added.
