Westports Holdings Berhad is expected to see container volumes close flat for FY24, with 9MFY24 volumes at 8.1 million TEUs (+1.2% YoY), driven by a 10.3% growth in gateway volumes offsetting a 5.3% decline in transshipment. Revenue growth (+7.1% YoY) was supported by value-added services and high gateway volumes, with the gateway-to-transshipment ratio shifting to 46:54 from the historical 30:70. Intra-Asia trade remains a strong driver, contributing over 65% of volumes. With management revising growth expectations to flat, the target price is maintained at RM4.30, pending market and tariff developments.
Intra-Asia trade, accounting for over 65% of Westports’ container volume, grew by +3.5% YoY in 9MFY24, driving gateway container growth with import and export volumes rising +14.0% and +8.0% YoY, respectively, in 3QFY24. Management projects low single-digit growth (+3.3% YoY), reflecting potential recovery in transshipment volumes. A temporary volume increase may occur if shipments are frontloaded ahead of tariffs during Donald Trump’s presidential transition, says MIDF.
