MY Corporate Day: Key takeaways

SapE expects FY1/18 to remain challenging but is increasingly positive for FY19. Optimising assets utilisation and sustaining order book replenishment remains key. Monetising its gas assets is a catalyst not fully priced in yet. All in, we see SapE as a direct proxy, beta play for a recovering O&G sector outlook.

Disposing 53% stake in CITN?

We are neutral on the potential disposal of CITN. The cash proceeds would boost STAR’s already healthy net cash pile and investors can be more assured that recurring dividends can sustain at FY16’s levels. We keep our earnings estimates, call and TP pending more details. If CITN is disposed at its last share price of SGD0.96, this will lift our TP by just 5sen as our current TP considers a slightly lower SGD0.92. We view this development as a potential monetisation of STAR’s investment in CITN.

U.K: Consumer spending weakens with sharp slowdown in April, according to a report from Visa. Its index showed spending rose an annual 0.5% in April, down from 1% in March and marking one of the slowest rates of growth in the past three years. Weaker household demand is also taking a toll on retailers. A separate report from the Institute for Chartered Accountants in England and Wales showed while there was a jump in business confidence this quarter, retailing was the laggard among nine sectors covered.

China: Reserves rise a third month amid tighter capital controls. China’s foreign-exchange reserves rose for a third month in April, exceeding estimates, as tighter capital controls kept money from flowing out of the country and the yuan held stable. Reserves climbed USD 20.4b to USD 3.03tr, the People’s Bank of China said. (Source: Bloomberg)

Crude Oil: Iran will go along with whatever OPEC decides on crude cutbacks. Iran will go along with whatever decision OPEC makes at its meeting later this month on whether to extend oil production cuts beyond June, Oil Minister Bijan Namdar Zanganeh said. “All indications are that the members want a renewal of the deal and we will go along with what they agree upon,” Zanganeh said on the sidelines of an energy trade show in Tehran. Producers outside OPEC that joined the oil pact will probably agree to keep the cuts for longer, he said. Brent crude, the global benchmark, slumped to a five-month low of USD 46.64/bbl.
