Kuala Lumpur: UOBKayHian Securities has initiated a buy call on Ekovest Bhd, with a target price of RM3, considering the company's huge construction orderbook of RM4.5 billion.The research firm, in a note Friday, said Ekovest's long-term outlook was boosted after it was granted a 53.5 year concession to build, operate and transfer the new 50km Setiawangsa-Pantai Expressway (SPE).

"The SPE is also expected to enhance the medium-term orderbook visibility as the group will snap up much of the construction jobs worth over RM3.7 billion.

"We expect the construction jobs to contribute between RM139 million and RM212 million per annum to Ekovest's financials for the next three years," UOBKayHian said.

"About 84 per cent of the RM4.5 billion outstanding orderbook was from the SPE and we expect Ekovest to secure another RM1 billion worth of infrastructure-related jobs in the 2017 financial year," it added.

As at 4.12 pm, Ekovest's shares stood at RM1.95, up three sen, with 3.36 million shares traded. – Bernama
