Off to a seasonally good start

1QFY9/17 earnings are off to a seasonally good start as KLK benefited from high palm oil prices despite flattish YoY output. 1Q core PATMI met 35%/30% of our/consensus full-year earnings forecasts – above ours but within market estimates. We raise FY17 core PATMI forecast by 7.5% to incorporate higher CPO ASP (+4%) assumption. Following our earnings revision, our new TP is a higher MYR26.20 (previously MYR24.40) based on unchanged 26x FY17 PER (5-year mean).

2QFY17: In line

2QFY6/17 results and second gross DPU of 2.28sen (1HFY17: 4.55sen) were within expectations. Earnings were mainly supported by Sunway Pyramid’s sustained occupancy and positive rental reversions but mitigated by the weaker hotel segment. Our net profit forecasts are intact but we increase our TP by 5sen to MYR1.85 after rolling forward our DDM valuation base year to FY18 (unchanged 7.8% cost of equity).

1HFY17 results in line

1HFY6/17 core earnings accounted for 54% of our FY estimates. Dialog is a direct proxy to PETRONAS’ RAPID and Pengerang play (tank terminals and regasification projects). It offers steady, long-term, sustainable growth prospects with strong cash flows and dividends to boot. It is net cash, which is atypical of the industry, is a testament to its lean management and largely cash flow driven tank terminal businesses.

Juggling cost increase

Better 3QFY3/17 operational earnings was within expectations. While NBR cost is spiking up, its impact on near-term earnings could be offset by higher ASPs, sales volume growth and internal cost control. Though EBITDA margin has rebounded to 28% in 3QFY17, it is still lower than its peak of >30% in FY10-14 (when nitrile space was less crowded) and we expect the competition in nitrile space to elevate in 2HCY17. Maintain our EPS forecasts, SELL call, MYR3.80 TP (21x 2017 PER; mean).

NEWS


Outside Malaysia:

U.S: Wholesale prices climb by most since September 2012. U.S. wholesale prices jumped in January, led by higher costs of gasoline and indicating inflation is beginning to stir. The 0.6% gain in the producer-price index followed a 0.2% advance the prior month. The measure was up 1.6% YoY. The pickup in prices, which also reflected higher retailer and wholesaler margins, is the latest signal that broader inflation continues to move toward the goal of Federal Reserve policy makers. While rising demand and higher commodity costs are reviving price pressures in the production pipeline, renewed strength in the dollar may pose a headwind. (Source: Bloomberg)

E.U: Euro-area economy expanded less than initially reported in 4Q 2016 as growth in three of its largest economies fell short of expectations. GDP rose 0.4% in the three months through December, the European Union’s statistics office said. (Source: Bloomberg)

U.K: Inflation picked up less than forecast in January as clothing-store discounts kept the rate from reaching the Bank of England’s target. The rate increased to 1.8% from 1.6% in December. The pound weakened and traders pared bets on a Bank of England interest-rate hike by the end of 2017. While less than anticipated, inflation is still running at the fastest pace in more than two years. Rising fuel costs coupled with a weaker pound are set to push it above the BOE’s 2% goal soon. (Source: Bloomberg)

China: Jan 2017 new loans at CNY 2.03t, PBOC says on website. Jan 2017 aggregate financing was CNY 3.74t following CNY1.63t reported in Dec 2016. M2 growth last month was +11.3% YoY matching estimates (range +10.8% YoY to +12% YoY, 36 economists) following the +11.3% YoY reported in Dec 2016. (Source: Bloomberg)

China: Producer prices increased the most since 2011, with the world’s biggest exporter further lifting the outlook for global inflation. Producer price index rose 6.9% YoY in January, compared with a 5.5% YoY December gain. Producer prices for mining products surged 31% YoY while those for raw materials climbed 12.9%, the National Bureau of Statistics said. (Source: Bloomberg)
