Asset monetisation exercise

We are positive on WCT’s sale of its ‘Ascent’ office tower to EPF given the offer price of MYR347m which we deem as fair. WCT’s cash proceed from the sale of e.MYR243m based on its 70% stake in Jelas Puri S/B, we estimate, would improve net gearing level from 0.81x as of end-June 2016 to 0.72x upon completion. We expect more asset monetisation in the near-term as WCT has previously mentioned on plans to sell MYR500m worth of total assets as part of its deleveraging strategy.

Strategic tie-up in China with TIG

IHH is forming a strategic partnership with Taikang Insurance Group (TIG) via divestment of its 29.9% stake in PCH Holding Pte Ltd (PCH), the holding entity for IHH’s China portfolio, for CNY1.1b or MYR689.6m. This deal should be long-term positive as it enables IHH to: 1) leverage on TIG’s clients; 2) access funding for future projects; and 3) reduce potential consolidation of start-up losses of new projects. Earnings dilution of 2% is minimal. Maintain HOLD and SOTP TP of MYR6.52.

3Q16 results preview

Ahead of its results release on 22 Nov, we forecast FGV’s 3Q16 core net profit to return to the black at ~MYR70m, but still insufficient to reverse 1H16 core losses of MYR75m. Higher YoY CPO ASP offsets decline in FFB output in 3Q16 while its sugar division will likely suffer from high raw sugar prices. Keeping our HOLD, EPS forecasts, MYR1.80 TP on 1x P/BV.

Slowdown arrested
by Suhaimi Ilias


Economics Research





Real GDP growth picked up to +4.3% YoY in 3Q 2016 (2Q 2016: +4.0% YoY) after five straight quarters of slowdown on sustained momentum in consumer spending growth and turnaround in net external demand. No change in our 2016 and 2017 growth forecasts of +4.1% and +4.5%.












Still got the current account surplus
by Suhaimi Ilias


Economics Research





Current account surplus rose in 3Q 2016 to +MYR6.0b or +1.9% of GDP (2Q 2016: +MYR1.9b or +0.6% of GDP) on improved goods account surplus which offset the larger deficits in services and income accounts. Current account surplus was +MYR12.9b or 1.4% of GDP for Jan-Sep 2016. Our full-year forecast is +MYR14.9b or +1.2% of GDP and we expect to continue next year at +MYR16.1b or +1.3% of GDP.

Crude Oil: Holds losses near seven-week low as Iran lifts production. Oil held losses near the lowest close in seven weeks as Iran boosted output and as U.S. explorers raised the number of active rigs to the most since February, signaling the persistence of a global supply glut. Output from three western Iranian fields rose to about 250,000 barrels a day from 65,000 barrels in 2013, faster than expected, the oil ministry’s news service Shana reported. U.S. rigs targeting crude rose by 2 to 452 last week, according to Baker Hughes Inc. data, as increased drilling efficiency has allowed explorers to continue expanding oilfield work.
