KUALA LUMPUR: AmInvestment Bank Research has maintained its "buy" call in MISC Bhd following its announcement that it has secured long-term charter contracts to own and operate three newbuild LNG dual-fuel very large crude carriers from Shell Tankers (Singapore) Pvt Ltd. The research house has an unchanged sum-of-parts-basd fair value of RM8.50 a share, which implies an FY21 foreacst EV/Ebitda of 9x, at parity to its two-year average. MISC did not reveal the capex or charter rates of the vessel although AmInvestment assumes a total capex of US$282mil for the three vessels, which could be part of the group's growth capex of US$1bil annually.
