(BAuto) could see exciting earnings growth if it lands the assembly and distributorship rights for Kia cars. BAuto, which distributes Mazda vehicles and spare parts in Malaysia and the Philippines, is believed to be in talks to secure the collaboration with Kia Motors Corp, after the Naza Group confirmed that it would be relinquishing its Kia and Peugeot businesses last year. “It would be a good business for BAuto, especially if they can get a manufacturing, distribution and after-sales deal for Kia cars. If the deal only involves distribution, then this would not be very exciting as the margin is only 5% to 10%, ” a market observer told StarBiz.
