2Q16 surprised positively

BIMB’s earnings were better than expected and our FY16-18 earnings forecasts are raised by 3% for each FY. Fundamentals for both Bank Islam and Syarikat Takaful (STMB) remain strong. Our SOP-TP is raised to MYR4.70 from MYR4.00. Our valuations for Bank Islam are rolled forward and our P/BV peg is raised to 1.5x from 1.3x, on the back of a higher FY17 ROE of 12.3% (11.9% previously). BIMB is now a BUY.

Share Price:

Target Price:
MYR4.10
Recommendation:
Hold




Improving fundamentals

We upgrade Top Glove to HOLD (from SELL) with an unchanged TP of MYR4.10 (15x CY17 PER; historical mean) because: (i) its share price has fallen 14% since our downgrade in Jun 2016 and is just 3% away from our fair value; (ii) we think its sequential earnings could improve slightly on the easing of nitrile competition; and (iii) we expect good support at current levels as the stock is already trading at its mean PER.

Core 1H16 earnings in line

1H16 core net profit made up 48%/54% of ours/consensus FY forecasts. The investment focus from 2017 onwards is on improving its risk-reward outlook. A rebound in earnings from the successful delivery of 4 key FPSO/FSU projects from 4Q16 and potentially new FPSO job(s) wins coupled with a positive outcome from the Armada Claire’s ongoing court case are key catalysts. Our SOP-based MYR1.05 TP (unchanged).

Recommendation:
Buy




Deep in value

We remain positive on MBM following last week’s briefing; 2H16 earnings should be much better than 1H16 with maiden contribution of the Perodua Bezza. Investments in the last three years (i.e. Perodua and Hino’s plants, OMI Alloy) should make a more significant contribution in the coming years. Our forecasts are largely unchanged (-1% for FY16-18) but we raise our TP to MYR3.00 (+11%) as we peg MBM on 10x FY17 PER (5-year mean valuations; from 9x) on improving outlook.

FMCG to be the main driver

We believe that FMCG should still be the main earnings driver in the near term, supported mainly by growing exports. As for F&B, while sales remained relatively soft, it should see gradual recovery into 2H16 supported by festivities and A&P efforts. Maintain earnings forecasts and TP of MYR1.95 (14.8x CY17 PER; mean).

1H16 in line

Interim results were in line on weaker QoQ performance. Our forecasts are unchanged. Securing the upcoming Pan Malaysia T&I package due in 2017, Barakah being the incumbent, is crucial. Otherwise, Barakah is fairly valued. Our TP is based on 10x 2017 FD PER (unchanged).

2Q16: In line

THP’s 2Q16 results were within our expectation despite its slightly lower FFB production as deferred tax lifted its bottom line. Earnings should improve HoH in 2H16 on seasonally stronger production. Maintain HOLD at an unchanged TP of MYR1.20 based on 1x trailing P/NTA (-1SD of 3-year mean trailing P/NTA).

SECTOR RESEARCH






Sector Note

Impact of HSR on property values





While a better connectivity between the two capitals, Kuala Lumpur and Singapore, via the HSR is positive for property values around the station stops, the quantum of the land value lift is dependent on various factors including the fare structure (affordability) and the efficacy of the entire transportation system. In our view, beneficiaries in the property sector would still be the land owners near the station stops – the ones we can identify for now are Sime Darby, GENP and IOIPG.

“Negative” start to 2H 2016





Industrial Production (IP) shrank -3.6% YoY in July 2016 (June 2016: +0.3% YoY) dragged by most major clusters except Electronics. “Negative” start to 2H 2016 plus weaker business expectations for the period is consistent with our view that real GDP growth will slow after the +2.1% expansion in 1H 2016, hence our full-year forecast of +1.8%.

Outside Malaysia:

E.U: Negative interest rates could become the norm in downturns, warns ECB. Interest rates could dive into negative territory regularly in future economic downturns, according to a top European Central Bank official, while ultra-low interest rates will become the norm even in boom times. Negative rates are currently thought of as an emergency policy to battle low economic growth and the prolonged aftermath of the financial crisis, but economist and ECB executive board member Benoit Coeure believes they could be here to stay. “[Negative rates] have been very effective in supporting output and inflation and anchoring medium-term price stability. However, they were taken on the implicit assumption that they would be transient,” Mr Coeure told the Jackson Hole meeting of central bankers. (Source: Bloomberg)

China: Biggest banks grind out meager profit gains as loans sour. China’s biggest banks are grinding out meager profit gains as they grapple with pressure from loans going bad. Agricultural Bank of China Ltd. posted a 0.5% YoY increase in net income in the second quarter. China Construction Bank Corp. reported earlier in the week a 0.9% YoY gain, while Bank of Communications Co.’s profit rose 1.3% YoY. The other two lenders in the big five -- Industrial & Commercial Bank of China Ltd. and Bank of China Ltd. -- are due to report this week. Amid the limited profit gains, some lenders announced plans for new fundraisings. Agricultural Bank said it would sell as much as CNY 80b (USD 12b) of Tier-2 securities over three years, while mid-sized China Citic Bank Corp. announced plans to raise as much as CNY 40b selling convertible bonds.

India: To seek USD 15b of investment to double mining output. India expects to woo INR 1tr (USD 15b) of investment over five years to double mining output and cut mineral imports. The government’s goal is to fast-track exploration, including upfront payments for discovered deposits when the mines are auctioned, Mines Minister Piyush Goyal said in an interview. The administration will invite foreign companies to participate, he said, while acknowledging challenges such as land acquisition and environmental hurdles. “We’re working to change the rules of the game from doing small amounts of exploration in an incremental fashion to doing it on a fast-track, one-shot, big-picture way,” Goyal, 52, said. There’s "easily" scope to pour INR 50b into the search for deposits, he said. (Source: Bloomberg)

Crude Oil: Falls near USD 47/bbl as crude rig count unchanged and Royal Dutch Shell Plc said production isn’t affected by storm preparations in the Gulf of Mexico. Futures in New York dropped as much as 1.2% after advancing 1.9% over the previous two sessions on speculation informal OPEC talks next month could result in some kind of output freeze. A tropical depression near Florida, forecast to become a storm on Monday, is expected to move into the Gulf of Mexico, according to the National Hurricane Center. Brent for October settlement declined 47 cents to USD 49.45/bbl on the London-based ICE Futures Europe exchange. The global benchmark crude traded at a USD 2.36 premium to WTI.
