Positive 2Q16

2Q16 results was a positive surprise whereby the higher net profit margin was lifted by higher revenue, lower opex and lower net financing costs. The 1st interim gross DPU of 4.23sen was also better than expected. We adjust FY16-18 net profit forecasts by +4-6% and raise our DCF-TP by 13sen to MYR1.23 after revising our valuation parameters. Long-term lease agreements provide for resilient earnings while dividend yields at ~6.4% are attractive, these being the premise of our revised BUY call.

AirAsia Bhd (AIRA MK)
by Mohshin Aziz





Share Price:
MYR2.93
Target Price:
MYR3.04
Recommendation:
Hold




Near the peak, D/G to HOLD

AirAsia’s 2Q16 looks to be promising as jet fuel price had plunged 27% YoY during that quarter, while load factor hit a record of 86.8%. We estimate a 2Q16 core net profit of MYR356m. We also raise our FY16-18 earnings forecasts by 4% each year to factor in the better operating statistics and accordingly raise our TP 5% to MYR3.04 (from MYR2.90), pegged to an unchanged 8x FY16 PER. Cut to HOLD as the upside potential to our revised TP is limited.

SECTOR RESEARCH






Sector Note
by Desmond Ch'ng


Sector liberalization under ABIF





BNM’s bilateral agreement with OJK paves the way for greater financial integration within ASEAN but it remains to be seen if Indonesian banks can be sufficiently enticed to set up base in Malaysia, given the disparity in equity returns. With two Malaysian banking groups in Indonesia already, this agreement could perhaps benefit the likes of RHB that had tried to establish a foothold in Indonesia before. NEUTRAL on the sector with a HOLD on both CIMB and RHB. BUY AFG, HLBK and HLFG.









NEWS


Outside Malaysia:

E.U: Output unexpectedly accelerated to the highest in six months, signaling that manufacturers and services providers are shrugging off concerns that the U.K.’s vote to leave the European Union will harm business. A Purchasing Managers’ Index for both industries rose to 53.2 in July from 53.1 in June, Markit Economics said. A July 22 estimate was for a drop to 52.9. A reading above 50 indicates expansion. (Source: Bloomberg)

U.K: Services sector shrinks at the fastest pace in seven years, adding weight to arguments for the Bank of England to loosen policy this week. Markit said its Purchasing Managers Index plunged to 47.4 in July from 52.3 in June, below the 50 level that signals contraction. The gauge hasn’t been this weak since March 2009, when the BOE cut its benchmark interest rate to a record low and launched quantitative easing to aid the economy. (Source: Bloomberg)

India: Passes landmark tax reform in Modi’s biggest win yet. India’s upper house of parliament unanimously approved the creation of a national sales tax a decade after the move was first proposed. The constitutional amendment, one of India’s most significant reforms since the 1990s, now has to be endorsed by the Modi-controlled lower house and then ratified by at least half of all states, a process projected to be concluded before the year ends. The goods-and-services tax, known as GST, will replace more than a dozen levies, creating a single market with more than a billion increasingly wealthy citizens. (Source: Bloomberg)

Thailand: Keeps its key interest rate unchanged, opting to hold fire before an upcoming referendum and allow fiscal policies to take the lead in spurring the economy. The Bank of Thailand held its one-day bond repurchase rate at 1.5%. (Source: Bloomberg)

Aviation: Firefly defers aircraft deliveries. The company has postponed its aircraft deliveries for this year as part of its consolidation plans. Out of the 20 aircraft that it purchased three years ago, I has taken delivery of eight aircraft and was supposed to take delivery of another one or two aircraft this year. On whether it will resume aircraft deliveries next year, Ong, the company’s CEO said it will assess the market and decide in the fourth quarter of this year. The airline began its consolidation exercise early this year, due to the soft market that started in mid-2015 and continued into the first half of 2016. Ong expects passenger growth to be flat this year against the 2.3 million passengers it carried last year. (Source: The Sun Daily)
