35 years operating period extension till 2069

MAHB has received Cabinet’s approval for a 35-year extension on the Operating Agreement (OA) for the 39 airports that it manages in Malaysia, bringing the total operating period to 60 years ending in Feb 2069. This is beneficial for MAHB’s Aeropolis project and we expect new ventures to be announced soon. This reinforces our BUY rating but this development has no cashflow impact in the medium-term and hence we keep our earnings forecasts and TP of MYR7.46.

4Q16: Topline falls short

Bursa’s FY16 net profit was 3% below our expectation, due to a shortfall at the topline (operating revenue made up just 95% of our 12M forecast). We lower FY17/18 net profit estimates by 4%/5%, and introduce FY19 forecast. Management expects still a challenging year in 2017 for equity, while commodity prices and KLCI volatility are areas of growth for derivative. Our TP is unchanged at MYR8.90; Bursa remains a HOLD.

The jobless rate rose to 4.8%, and average hourly earnings grew 2.5% from January 2016, the weakest since August. (Source: Bloomberg)

U.S: Fed’s Williams sees some arguments to raise rates in March. The president of the San Francisco Fed said in an interview that he was not worried about economy stalling and that three hikes was a “reasonable guess” for Fed rates this year. His assessment of balance of risks is not only neutral but also to the “upside”. Williams is a non-voting member this year of the policy-setting Federal Open Market Committee (Source: Bloomberg)

Japan: Wages rise 0.5% in 2016 in biggest increase since 2010. Real wages, which adjust for inflation, increased 0.7% while total pay of regular workers rose 0.8%. Pay in December was up by 0.1% YoY while real wages drop 0.4% YoY. (Source: Bloomberg)

S. Korea: See China’s ire over missile shield in export hurdles. South Korea is increasingly concerned that China may be stepping up economic retaliation over its decision to deploy a U.S. missile shield, and it sees worrying signs in everything from blocked imports of high-tech bidets to the cancellation of music concerts. Korea’s Finance Minister Yoo Il-ho has said he thinks China may be taking unfair and indirect action in some cases. China opposes the deployment, with a foreign ministry spokesman last month saying it hoped South Korea will "take China’s concern seriously and create better conditions for the normal friendly exchanges between our people."

Crude Oil: Iraq’s south oil exports said to fall from record on OPEC cuts. Iraq’s southern crude oil exports dropped in January from a record high a month before as the country implements output cuts agreed by OPEC and other major producers to curb the global glut. The nation’s exports decreased 187,000 barrels a day to 3.323 million barrels a day in January from the previous month, according to a person familiar with the matter, who didn’t want to be identified because the data isn’t public.
