FY16 in line

Stripping out the impact of a massive kitchen sinking exercise in 4QFY1/16, FY16 core results were in line. Earnings will be weaker this year as it weathers the severe cyclical headwinds but long-term prospects remain intact. SAKP will continue to be prudent in its E&P assets investment. Monetising and unlocking the value of its gas reserves is a key agenda for FY17-18. There is no change to our FY17-18 earnings forecasts, we introduce FY19 forecast. Maintain BUY, MYR2.00 SOP-TP.

by Chee Ting Ong





Share Price:

Target Price:
MYR4.97
Recommendation:
Hold




RSPO suspension confirmed

RSPO suspended IOI’s RSPO certification. What is uncertain is how IOI’s EU customers and MNCs will react to this suspension. Assuming a 6-month suspension, the recent stock price decline (-6% since our downgrade ahead of the suspension) has reflected foregone CSPO premium and a 20% drop in downstream sales. Pending clarity, our earnings forecasts are unchanged. HOLD with a TP of MYR4.97 on 30x FY17 PER.

Results Review





AirAsia Bhd (AIRA MK)
by Mohshin Aziz





Share Price:
MYR1.81
Target Price:
MYR1.80
Recommendation:
Hold




Whispers of privatisation

The Edge Weekly reported that Tune Air (AirAsia founder) in partnership with China Everbright are planning to privatise AirAsia, citing sources familiar with the matter. Company official states they have not received any formal offer and will not comment. We are neutral on this event pending details. We now rate AirAsia as a HOLD (previously BUY) as the current share price, which has outperformed, offers limited upside to our unchanged TP of MYR1.80, which is pegged to 1x 2016 P/BV.

Re-emergence of risks; D/G HOLD

GMB’s briefing last Friday alluded to 1) uncertainties on the regulatory front, and 2) a possible tapering of volume growth. With share price having already rebounded from the trough, GMB’s risk-reward is no longer compelling in lieu of these new risks. Downgrade to HOLD on a lower TP of MYR2.50 (from MYR2.70).

Technical notes





We attended a technical briefing by the Department of Statistics Malaysia (DOSM) recently on several quantitative and qualitative changes and improvements in CPI statistics i.e. updated CPI basket of goods & services and revised weights of the components; the adoption of “chain-weighted index” for CPI vs “fixed-weighted index” previously; and the publication of official core CPI data.

Peak of “base effect”





Headline inflation rose further to +4.2% YoY in Feb 2016 (Jan 2016: +3.5% YoY) while core inflation remained elevated at +3.6% YoY 2016 (Jan 2016: +3.6% YoY). Maintain our 2016 inflation rate forecast of +3.0% to +3.5%.

Stable - but elevated - jobless rate





Unemployment rate was steady but remain elevated at 3.4% in Jan 2016 as the number for Dec 2015 was revised upwards to 3.4% from 3.2% reported previously. Latest jobless rate is the highest since Nov 2013. In view of the revised labour force statistics to reflect the latest current population estimates, we now expect average unemployment rate in 2016 to be 3.5% versus 3.3%-3.4% previously (2015: 3.2%).

Consumer: Tobacco firms say industry in major crisis, call for excise freeze. Tobacco manufacturers are appealing to the Government to suspend any further excise duty increase to allow the market to stabilise.

Legal industry volumes have been severely impacted, registering a significant decline by approximately 30% post the unprecedented excise increase. (Source: The Star)

Sona Petroleum: Proposes MYR80m capital repayment. Sona Petroleum, which is in the midst of acquiring Stag Oilfield in offshore Western Australia, has proposed a capital repayment of up to MYR80m to reward its shareholders. The proposed capital repayment will involve a capital repayment of up to MYR80m, less such amounts to be paid for the repurchase of Sona Petroleum shares from the dissenting shareholders who vote against the proposed acquisition. The actual distribution amount will vary in accordance with the number of dissenting shareholders and the amount that the company has to pay under the share repurchase. (Source: The Sun Daily)

Globetronics: To see higher contribution from sensor segment. Despite a flat to low single-digit growth projection for the current year due to the global challenges and an inventory adjustment problem, Globetronics Technology is optimistic about the company’s prospects as its new sensor products are set to see mass production by the second half of the year. The sensor sector contributed 40% to its total performance in the financial year ended Dec 31, 2015 and is soon expected to account for more than 50%. In the meantime, Globetronics has also allocated MYR30m to MYR35m for the expansion of a new project this year, allowing it to penetrate the Internet of Things (IoT) market with a double-digit growth projection in five years.

EG Industries: To list Thai unit in 2018. Electronic manufacturing services (EMS) company EG Industries proposes to list its Thailand unit SMT Industries Co Ltd on the Market for Alternative Investment of The Stock Exchange of Thailand.

There is much potential to be tapped in light of Thailand's position as a key manufacturing hub especially for the high-tech electronics and automatic sector. (Source: The Sun Daily)
