A more subdued outlook

Into 2017, management guides for slower loan growth, NIM compression and higher overheads. These, nevertheless, are factors that we have already taken into account and thus our forecasts are maintained. On the back of an FY17E ROE of 14.8%, we peg on a P/BV of 2x to derive our unchanged TP of MYR19.70. The group’s strong fundamentals are reflected in current pricing, in our view.

Recommendation:
Sell




Take profit; D/G to SELL

MMHE’s share price has appreciated by 15% post our upgrade to HOLD in 19 Dec 2016 and is now 12% ahead of our MYR0.90 TP, pegged to 1x EV/ order backlog (unchanged). We advocate investors to lock-in gains ahead of headwinds in its upcoming 4Q16 results due next week. MMHE needs a significant order win to warrant a re-rating, in our view. In addition, we maintain our view - we do not see MMHE as a privatisation candidate. Our earnings forecasts are unchanged.

Outside Malaysia:

U.S: Productivity gains cooled last quarter; labor costs rose. The measure of employee output per hour increased at a 1.3% annualized rate, after a revised 3.5% rise in the prior three months, Labor Department figures showed. Expenses per worker rose at a 1.7% pace. (Source: Bloomberg)

U.S: Filings for jobless benefits fell to 246,000 last week, marking 100 straight weeks of claims below 300,000. That’s the longest streak since 1970 and indicates a healthy job market. Jobless claims declined by 14,000 to 246,000 in the week ended Jan. 28, a Labor Department report showed. The sustained trend of historically low jobless claims shows businesses are retaining existing employees as they face a shortage of skilled workers amid a tight labor market. (Source: Bloomberg)

Singapore: Sees little growth in fixed-asset investments this year after commitments fell to the lowest level since at least 2007, the Economic Development Board said. Capital investment in facilities and equipment planned over the next five years stood at SGD 9.4b (USD 6.7b) last year and should stabilize at around SGD 8b to SGD 10b in coming years, Beh Swan Gin, chairman of the EDB, told reporters. (Source: Bloomberg)

Australia: Posted a record trade surplus as iron ore and coal exports surged on the back of demand from China and Japan. Exports climbed 5% from month earlier, while imports rose 1% and trade surplus was at AUD 3.51b for December. Largest value of coal exports since November 2008; highest value of iron ore exports since March 2014. Australia’s trade performance closely correlates with demand from China’s old growth drivers like infrastructure and apartment construction. The government in Beijing’s stimulus program, together with cutbacks in coal output, has helped underpin a surge in coal and iron ore prices that’s now reflected in Australia’s sharply improved trade balance. However, the impact of a fall in coal prices since November remains to be seen. (Source: Bloomberg)
