A well-oiled machine

The views, deeds and plans shared by Digi’s senior management during its Analyst Day last Friday once again left a positive impression. While industry conditions remain challenging, Digi is well-poised to ride out the storm in our view. Share price has already rebounded c.10% from its recent trough. Maintain HOLD with an unchanged TP of MYR5.00.

SECTOR RESEARCH






Sector Note

Still giving it a miss





Though sector’s share price (YTD: -32%) and valuation (at forward PERs of 10-27x now, from peak of 14-35x) have fallen substantially, we think the current valuations have yet to fully reflect the slowing financials (ROEs, margin, earnings growth). We maintain our NEGATIVE view on the sector. A better time to re-enter could be after the weak 2Q16 results, which may see PER valuations down to their historical mean levels.

Outside Malaysia:

E.U: ‘Sluggish’ Euro Area sees initial Brexit fallout in services. The euro area’s service sector cooled in July as the U.K.’s vote to leave the European Union clouded the region’s outlook, according to Markit Economics. It’s Purchasing Managers Index for the sector slipped to an 18-month low, dipping to 52.7 from 52.8, it said. While a manufacturing measure and a joint gauge for both sectors also slipped, all three remained above the 50 level that signals expansion. The International Monetary Fund said this week that it had become less optimistic on global growth, and warned the damage could worsen if confidence falters among investors and companies.

E.U: ECB said to see no rush for September move with QE on track. European Central Bank policy makers currently see no urgent need to adjust or expand their bond-buying program in September, according to Euro-Area officials familiar with the matter. The Governing Council, which met in Frankfurt on Thursday, views its EUR 1.7tr (USD 1.9tr) quantitative-easing plan as effective even after the U.K.’s vote to leave the European Union, and at no immediate risk of running into a shortage of assets, the people said. While potential changes to QE will probably be discussed at the next gathering on Sept. 8, there is no reason to expect substantial alterations unless the outlook worsens, the people said.

U.K: Brexit wreaks havoc on economy as recession risk increases. The U.K.’s decision to leave the European Union inflicted an immediate blow on the economy as business activity shrank at its fastest pace since the last recession seven years ago. In the weeks following Brexit, there was a “dramatic deterioration,” Markit Economics said in a one-time report published. Services and manufacturing shrank and a gauge of the private-sector economy plunged to 47.7, well below the 50 level that divides expansion from contraction. The slump is the strongest evidence yet that politics is propelling the world’s fifth largest economy into recession. The pound dropped after the report was published, with Markit saying its latest readings put the economy on course to contract by 0.4% this quarter. (Source: Bloomberg)
