3Q16: Growth intact

3Q16 results were in line, whereby net profit growth was mainly encouraged by stronger topline due to positive rental reversions and sustained occupancy rates. Our earnings forecasts and DDM-based TP of MYR1.80 are unchanged. We continue to like IGBREIT for its resilient earnings and sustained distributions. Potential total return now is 16%.

Still cloudy visibility

Despite weaker sequential revenue (-9% QoQ), mainly from sensor and LED segments, earnings improved 40% QoQ on better cost controls. We keep our forecasts, expecting earnings to weaken on seasonally slower activities in 4Q16. Near-term visibility for Globetronics remains cloudy in absence of a pick-up for its sensor division which has seen sizeable capex in 2015. On pricey valuations (19x FY17 EPS), we maintain SELL on Globetronics with an unchanged TP of MYR2.65 pegged on 14x FY17 EPS.

3Q16: Earnings on track

3Q16 results were in line. Moving forward, we expect domestic sales growth to be sustainable backed by a gradual pick-up in consumption and the launch of new products. As for its export segment, it should continue its growth momentum riding on its export potential from noodles, coffee, confectionary and RTD products. Maintain HOLD with an unchanged DCF-TP of MYR78.00.

MYR1.8b bid for MP Evans

By our estimate, the GBP6.40/sh cash offer for MP Evans translates to a historical acquisition (2015 core) PER of 37.3x, P/BV of 1.4x (30 June), and an adjusted EV per planted ha of USD13,500 (~MYR56,100). The premium pricing is required to successfully gain control of MPE. KLK’s FY17 EPS could be marginally diluted post acquisition. Hence, we are short term Neutral on the deal. HOLD with a TP of MYR21.60 on unchanged 23x FY17 PER (-1SD of its historical mean).

Positives priced in

Total outstanding orderbook of MYR2.2b (MYR1.9b construction, MYR0.3b manufacturing) will provide decent earnings visibility for the next 1.5-2 years. We revise FY16/FY17/FY18 earnings upwards after updating the margin assumptions for construction and revising our job wins assumption for FY17/FY18. New job wins could potentially come from both construction (KVLRT 3, PPA1M and PR1MA) and manufacturing (MRT Singapore projects and DTSS 2). However, we believe the positives have been priced in.

Germany: Business confidence in October rose to the highest level in more than two years, the Munich-based Ifo institute said. This adds to signs of renewed growth momentum in Europe’s largest economy, after uncertainty related to the U.K.’s vote to leave the European Union contributed to a temporary slowdown. Germany’s economic performance has been the driving force of the euro area’s recovery so far, and a wide range of indicators suggests it will continue to bolster output. Business climate index climbed to 110.5 from 109.5 in September. An index for economic expectations rose to 106.1 from 104.5, while the evaluation of the current situation also improved to 115 from 114.7. (Source: Bloomberg)
