TP Revision





Sime Darby (SIME MK)
by Chee Ting Ong





Share Price:
MYR7.49
Target Price:
MYR7.78
Recommendation:
Hold




Still challenging outlook

Sime posted a decent headline net profit of MYR664m but largely boosted by land sale gains and asset monetization. Underlying operations were weak. While the final quarter is traditionally Sime’s best quarter, we have cut FY16-18 EPS forecasts by 8%/17%/18% on still challenging outlook. Sime remains a HOLD on a lowered TP of MYR7.78 (-20sen).

Axiata Group (AXIATA MK)
by Chi Wei Tan





Share Price:
MYR5.40
Target Price:
MYR5.90
Recommendation:
Hold




A challenging start

Axiata’s results were a miss owing to headwinds at Celcom and Robi. Celcom’s inability to recovery meaningfully (since resolving its IT problems) is a concern, but is possibly priced-in to some extent (share price is down 16% YTD). Maintain HOLD, with a lower TP of MYR5.90 following our earnings cuts.

Share Price:
MYR6.06
Target Price:
MYR6.70
Recommendation:
Hold




1Q16 results surprised positively

RHB got off to a good start for the year with its 1Q16 earnings surprising on the upside. Topline growth was a decent 6% YoY while cost savings kicked in to provide the additional boost. Our FY16-18 earnings forecasts are raised by 14-18% and our TP is also raised to MYR6.70 (from MYR6.30). The stock has performed well, and much of the positives are reflected for now, in our view. HOLD maintained.

Recommendation:
Hold




A typical start

1Q16 results contained little surprises, and in any case, is relatively immaterial to TM’s investment thesis. The market is awaiting the mid-year launch of Webe, TM’s wireless product. We are mildly concerned about the possible earnings drag from the wireless product. Maintain HOLD with an unchanged TP of MYR6.20.

Sell




Confirms MYR2b new Klang plant

UMW Toyota (UMWT), a 51% subsidiary of UMWH, has confirmed plans to build a new plant (costing MYR2b inclusive of land, building and equipment) in Bukit Raja Industrial Estate, Klang – a strategic move for cost efficiency and potentially to cater for export. Nonetheless, the high capex for this, alongside UMWH’s investments into aerospace engineering could weaken UMWH’s balance sheet which already looks stretched (55% net gearing). Maintain SELL for now with unchanged SOP-TP of MYR4.50.

1Q16: Construction outshine

WCT’s 1Q16 core net profit was in line. Higher contribution from its construction division and retail mall JVs offset lower earnings from property. Clinching a major construction job would re-rate the stock. Our earnings forecasts are unchanged. Maintain BUY on WCT at MYR2.30 TP.

1Q16: Hit by dry weather

TSH’s 1Q16 results were weaker-than-expected due to shortfall in FFB output due to the dry weather. However, earnings should improve in the following quarters on seasonally stronger production and higher CPO price. Hence, our earnings forecasts are unchanged. Maintain HOLD at an unchanged TP of MYR1.80.

1Q16 results in line

1Q16 core earnings accounted for 24% of our full-year forecast. Barakah’s operations are progressing well, on expectations of improving earnings ahead. The effects from its cost rationalisation exercise and workflows from its T&I Package A works will be reflected from 2Q16. Despite these positives, we see minimal catalyst to re-rate. Barakah is fairly valued for now. Our TP is based on 10x 2017 PER (unchanged).

Outside Malaysia:

U.S: Households in Fed survey felt vulnerable despite economic gains. A substantial share of Americans lacked retirement savings and fewer households were confident in the outlook for their income at the end of last year. That’s according to a Federal Reserve report on the economic well-being of U.S. households in 2015. The findings show that while respondents increasingly reported that they are “doing OK” or “living comfortably,” a smaller share said they expected income growth than in the prior year’s survey. Thirty-one percent of non-retired Americans said they had no retirement savings at all, unchanged from 2014. (Source: Bloomberg)

U.S. Home prices climbed 5.7% YoY in first quarter as buyers competed for a limited supply of listings. Prices climbed 1.3% on a seasonally adjusted basis from the previous three months, the 19th consecutive quarterly gain, the Federal Housing Finance Agency said in a report. Home prices have risen as job growth brings out more buyers in a market starved for choices. There were 1.98 million houses for sale at the end of March, down 1.5% from the same month last year, according to the National Association of Realtors. While the U.S. has a whole had robust gains, prices fell from the previous quarter in 12 states and the District of Columbia, the FHFA said. (Source: Bloomberg)

S. Korea: May consumer confidence falls to 99 from 101. Households’ inflation expectation for next 12 months fell to 2.4%, Bank of Korea said in a statement. The survey is based on responses from 2,042 households across the nation, conducted between the 12-19 May. A reading below 100 indicates that pessimists outnumber optimists. (Source: Bloomberg)
