Maxis Bhd (MAXIS MK)

Share Price:
MYR5.95
Target Price:
MYR6.60
Recommendation:
Hold




Fairly routine

1Q16 was a fairly routine quarter for Maxis, with both EBITDA and net profit coming in within ours and consensus forecasts. The real litmus test however lies in 2Q16, when the impact from the recent postpaid pricing debacle will show, and the quantum of spectrum fees be announced. Maintain HOLD with an unchanged TP of MYR6.60.

Share Price:
MYR4.27
Target Price:
MYR4.30
Recommendation:
Hold




Shipping alliance shake-outs

Westports will benefit from the formation of Ocean Alliance if OA obtains regulatory approval in 2017. However, the wild card now is with the potential merger of Hapag-Lloyd and UASC, which may see UASC moves its transhipment volume out of Westports. That said, our scenario analysis suggests net volume increment of 0.03-1.7m TEUs p.a. (or +0.3-14.9%) for Westports. Maintain HOLD and DCF-derived TP of MYR4.30.

China: Biggest tax reform in two decades aims to boost growth. The biggest tax overhaul starts May 1, with changes set to reduce the burden on services companies and encourage factories to upgrade and innovate. Under the new system, taxes in the construction, property, finance and consumer service sectors will now be applied to the value added -- such as the difference between wholesale and final sales price for a retailer. That’s in contrast to the existing revenue-based levy. Manufacturers, which already operate under a value-added tax structure, will now get tax breaks on research and development to help them modernize. The plan will ease corporate payments by CNY500b (USD 77b) this year, with much of that total coming at the expense of local governments. (Source: Bloomberg)

The bank is adopting the new rate to ensure monetary policy moves are better transmitted to the broader economy. (Source: Bloomberg)
