China Lesso Group (2128 HK) | Initiation
Catalysts drive imminent re-rating; initiate BUY
Share Price: HKD4.18 | Target Price: HKD7.20(+72%) | MCap (USD): 1.7B | ADTV: USD2M
  • Initiate at BUY with 72% upside to Street-high HKD7.20 TP (11X FY14F PER, 20% discount to DCF). Trading at 40% discount to A-share listed peers and being a constituent of Hang Seng Composite MidCap Index, we expect the discount will narrow under the upcoming through train scheme.
  • Project 16% 3-year NPAT CAGR forecast. We foresee accelerating demand growth for plastic pipes driven by increasing urbanisation, government-led municipal pipeline construction and water conservation projects.
  • We believe Lesso can grow its home building materials sales by leveraging its dominant market leadership in plastic pipes. We expect its margins to improve ahead on enhanced scale.
Pegatron Corporation (4938 TT) | Results preview
Likely solid 1Q14 results; BUY
Share Price: TWD46.10 | Target Price: TWD55.00(+19%) | MCap (USD): 3.5B | ADTV: USD13M
  • Pegatron is due to release 1Q14 results on 8 May. We think it will be a neutral to positive event.
  • Expect operating income topped ours and consensus estimate thanks to improvement in production efficiency.
  • Despite potential non-operating loss from its CBs and FX, we estimate net income beat consensus of TWD1.96bn (EPS TWD0.84). Maintain BUY, above-consensus estimate and TWD55 target price.
Malaysia Construction | OVERWEIGHT
Sector update
Strengthened Pipeline
  • Current pipeline is more solid than a year ago; RRIM, RAPID, WCE, Warisan Merdeka, Langat 2 works to kick off this year, KVMRT2 go-ahead is merely procedural.
  • Impending major construction awards, to at least sustain the earnings momentum, is good enough reason to remain Overweight on the sector.
  • Also, stock valuations remain undemanding at 8x-14x 2015 PER versus 16x for the KLCI; our Top Pick is still IJM Corp.

Share Price: HKD12.94 | Target Price: HKD15.00(+16%) | MCap (USD): 5.8B | ADTV (USD): 14M

  • Margin remained resilient despite aggressive interest-rate strategy in raising time deposits.
  • Strong fundamentals, but tax-related case might create negative sentiment on share price. We prefer Bank Rakyat Indonesia (BUY, TP IDR11,000).

  • Non-core Chengdu mall remains a drag on overall portfolio; divestment is essential in our view.

Robinson Department Store (ROBINS TB) | Results Review
1Q14 weak; downgrade to HOLD on valuation
Share Price: THB50.25 | Target Price: THB53.00(+5%) | MCap (USD): 1.7B | ADTV (USD): 1M
  • Downgrade to HOLD from BUY given limited upside to TP of THB53 and lack of short term catalysts.
  • 1Q14 expected to be weak with net profit to decline 10% YoY on 6% revenue growth.
  • Remain positive on long term outlook as the brand is poised to be the dominant department store operator. Foray in Vietnam will add attractiveness but this is a long term potential source of value.
Supalai PCL (SPALI TB | TP Revision
Cream of the crop; sector top pick; BUY
Share Price: THB19.40 | Target Price: THB25.50(+31%) | MCap (USD): 1.0B | ADTV (USD): 4M

Siam Makro (MAKRO TB) | Results Preview
1Q14 expecting mild growth; SELL
Share Price: THB32.50 | Target Price: THB25.00(-23%) | MCap (USD): 4.8B | ADTV (USD): 0.2M
  • Maintain SELL as 13%/17% net profit growth in 2014/15 makes 32x 2014 PE difficult to defend, especially considering the significant drop in stock liquidity post acquisition.
  • We expect 1Q14 net profit to grow 6% YoY on 12% YoY revenue growth with underlying SSSG projected at 6% YoY possibly the best in the sector
  • MAKRO remains the most efficient Thai retailer despite its increasing vulnerability to the volatility of the tourism sector via HORECA merchandise. However, valuation and very low liquidity are the major deterrents to the stock.
Vard Holdings (VARD SP) | Results Review
Recovery clearly on track; BUY
Share Price: SGD0.96 | Target Price: SGD1.07(+12%) | MCap (USD): 897M | ADTV (USD): 3M
  • 1Q14 results in line with PATMI of NOK92m making up 15% of our and 16% of consensus forecasts.
