Valuation and view:
We expect KKC to report revenue growth of 19% in FY17
and 17% in FY18 largely supported by 20% CAGR in export revenues in FY17/18.
Margins are seen improving to 18.2% in FY17 / 19.3% in FY18, versus the
current 16.5% in FY16 (1HFY16 at 16.7%) led by benefits of RM price decline and increased localization
