KUALA LUMPUR: Hwang DBS Vickers Research expects Tenaga Nasional, which will release its first quarter results on Jan 20, to announce stronger 1Q FY10 net profit.

"We expect net profit to improve q-o-q and y-o-y to about RM500 million on the back of stronger power demand and estimated 1Q coal cost of US$85 per tonne," it said on Tuesday, Jan 19.

It said sustained power demand growth since March 2009 and broad base recovery in the industrial segment indicate a better outlook for Tenaga.

"We estimate that every one percentage point increase in power demand would raise Tenaga's FY10F net earnings by 8%," it said.

It is maintaining a Buy on Tenaga with target price of RM9.60 per share based on 17 times FY11F EPS, which reflects its early mid-cycle valuation since 2000.
