'We are maintaining our Trading Buy call on KNM with a higher target price of RM2.96 (previously RM2.22), based on a higher PER valuation of 12x (previously 9x) FY11 EPS,' it said.
OSK Research said KNM is one of the front-runners should there be a re-rating on the share prices of O&G stocks.
'Hence our target price higher as we believe there is still upside for investors to trade on the stock. In addition, KNM recently addressed concerns over its over-liquidity by implementing a 4-into-1 share consolidation. However, note that we are keeping our Trading Buy call until we see improved earnings potential for the company going forward,' it said.
