Malaysia Airports (MAHB MK)

Hold




What a weekend

The failed military coup d’ẻ-tat at Turkey adds to a long adverse list against air travel. Second, the Malaysian government is considering allowing only passengers to enter airport terminals in order to enhance security. Both events are negative to MAHB. We keep our earnings forecasts and HOLD call unchanged pending unfolding of the events. We reduce our TP to MYR6.40 as the risk profile has risen; we now apply a 10% discount to our DCF-based TP (WACC: 9.6%, terminal growth: 2%).

SECTOR RESEARCH






Sector Note
by Ivan Yap


Opportunities favour the ready





Semiconductor players should have seen a pick-up in demand in preparation of major smartphone launches in 2H16. Furthermore, 2QCY16 earnings will likely to be boosted by reversal in forex losses incurred in 1QCY16 due to the stronger USD at quarter end. Yet, YTD share prices remain in negative territory for most technology players, offering a decent entry point for net USD exporters with good demand visibility. We reiterate our POSITIVE stance on the sector with BUYs on Inari and ViTrox.

NEWS


Outside Malaysia:

U.S: Consumer sentiment drops as high earners shaken by Brexit. Consumer confidence in the U.S. dropped in July as U.K.’s vote to leave the European Union flustered high- income earners. The University of Michigan’s preliminary sentiment index fell to 89.5, a three-month low, from 93.5 in June. The Brexit vote’s outcome caused global equity markets to briefly slump, giving Americans in the upper third of the income scale reason to shudder over their finances. The subsequent rebound in stocks means confidence probably will soon regain some of its lost ground, according to Richard Curtin, the Michigan survey’s director. (Source: Bloomberg)

U.K. Property market proves resilient in face of Brexit vote. The appeal of bricks and mortar remained relatively robust in the face of the initial shock of Britain’s vote to leave the European Union. U.K. house prices declined 0.9% to GBP 305,504 (USD 406,000) this month, a drop only slightly greater than the average over the past six years, according to property website operator Rightmove. Buyer demand declined from last year, when it was boosted by the general election result, but was at the same level as 2014 amid supply constraints and low mortgage rates. (Source: Bloomberg)

China: Economy gets boost from property, construction sectors. China’s real estate sector grew faster than the overall economy in the second quarter as new home purchase restrictions in the biggest cities failed to deter buyers. Economic output by real-estate brokers surged 8.8% YoY in the April-to-June period, while construction activities jumped 7.3% YoY, data from the National Bureau of Statistics showed. The nation’s gross domestic product grew 6.7% YoY. Other industries such as technology, health and education increased 9% YoY. (Source: Bloomberg)





Other News:

Ireka: Plans six projects worth MYR1.3b. Property development and construction outfit Ireka Corp is expecting to roll-out six property launches over the next 18 months, with total expected gross development value (GDV) of MYR1.3b. The six projects planned are mainly spread out in Kajang and Nilai (with a small portion in Mont Kiara), including the first phase of its dwi@Rimbun Kasia project, a court-yard style apartment project in Nilai with an expected GDV of MYR130m, and will be the first to be launched. The group’s FY17 business, however, will still have to rely on its construction segment as its planned property projects are only expected to provide meaningful contribution to the group’s earnings from FY18.

CIMB: Cuts base lending rate. CIMB Group Holdings has joined other banks in lowering its base rate (BR) by 20 basis points (bps) for loans or financing products for its Malaysian business following Bank Negara Malaysia’s reduction in its overnight policy rate last week. Thus, all loans/financing pegged to its BR/base lending rate (BLR)/ base financing rate (BFR) will be adjusted accordingly. In line with this change, CIMB’s deposit rates will be revised downwards by up to 20bps. (Source: The Edge Financial Daily)

Thong Guan: Plans to be largest PVC food wrap producer in S-E Asia. Packaging firm Thong Guan Industries is targeting to be the largest polyvinyl chloride (PVC) food wrap producer in South-East Asia by end-2017. The company would be spending USD6m (MYR23.76m) to acquire four more production lines over the next two years. The company is also building a MYR1m warehouse to store the raw materials and finished goods for the PVC packaging products. The PVC food wrap output per annum is now about 8,000 tonnes. The output is expected to increase to 14,000 tonnes by 2018. (Source: The Star)
