Not all hope is lost

Core net loss widened QoQ to MYR32m (-2% YoY), underpinned by (i) a sharp fall in revenue (-19% QoQ, -32% YoY) due to weak vehicle sales and (ii) the absence of Nissan Motor Corp’s positive adjustments to component cost which featured in 4Q16. We expect TCM to report better results in forward quarters as sales pick up while not ruling out further cost adjustments from Nissan. We remain BUYers of TCM from a trough valuation angle, currently trading at 0.4x P/NTA.

Dividend surprises again

The sequentially stronger 1Q17 earnings were within expectations, with improvements across all segments. We are, however, surprised by its first interim dividend of 7 sen/shr (46% payout) as MISC has never declared dividend upon its 1Q results release. Given its low net gearing of 16% and the long-term nature of its chartering business, we think the high dividend payout could be sustained. Maintain our HOLD call and SOP-based TP of MYR7.60.

1Q17: New asset on board

1Q17 results were in-line. The strong YoY earnings growth in 1Q17 was mainly lifted by Menara Shell’s contributions and sustained occupancy rate of its portfolio. Our earnings forecasts and DDM-TP of MYR1.35 (cost of equity: 7.5%) are intact. MQREIT currently offers the highest CY17 net DPU of 5.7% in the M-REIT sector within our coverage (sector: 5.0%).

Outside Malaysia:

U.S. Productivity falls by most in a year; labor costs climb. U.S. worker productivity declined in the first quarter by the most in a year as growth in the world’s largest economy weakened, a Labor Department report showed. The measure of employee output per hour decreased at a 0.6% annual rate (forecast was a 0.1 percent decline) after a revised 1.8% gain in the prior three months. Expenses per worker rose at a 3% pace (forecast was 2.7 percent increase) after a revised 1.3% gain. (Source: Bloomberg)

E.U: Activity in euro-area manufacturing and services accelerated more than initially estimated as growth in the region’s three largest economies converged. A composite Purchasing Managers’ Index rose to 56.8 in April from 56.4 in March, IHS Markit said. An April 21 flash report was for an increase to 56.7. The spread between gauges for the rates of expansion in Germany, France, and Italy hasn’t been narrower since data collection started in 1998. “With the final reading coming in slightly above the earlier flash estimate, the PMI surveys portray an economy that is growing at an encouragingly robust pace, and that risks are moving from the downside to a more balanced situation,” said Chris Williamson, chief business economist at IHS Markit.

U.K: Growth in Britain’s services sector unexpectedly strengthened in April, giving the economy a solid start to the second quarter after a weaker-than-forecast performance at the start of the year. IHS Markit’s index rose to 55.8 in April from 55 in March, defying expectations for a decline to 54.5. Its measures for manufacturing and construction published earlier this week also improved, and the gauges suggest U.K. economic growth is running at a 0.6% pace. The services survey also showed that new business grew at the fastest pace this year and employment rose, albeit modestly. (Source: Bloomberg)

Samchem: 1Q earnings up 38% on higher sales, higher profit margin. Posted a 38% rise in net profit for the first quarter ended March 31, 2017 (1QFY17) to MYR5.01m from MYR3.64m a year ago, on higher sales and wider profit margin. Quarterly revenue was up 36% to MYR217.57m from MYR159.64m in the previous year, which was attributed to its market positioning in the region as Samchem continues to strengthen its competitive capabilities.

Daibochi: 1Q earnings slip 11%, but expects better FY17 with new contracts. Net profit fell 11% in the first quarter ended March 31, 2017 (1QFY17) to MYR5.77m versus MYR6.51m in the same time last year, despite higher revenue. The drop in earnings is due to lower foreign currency gain and higher raw material costs. It declared the first interim dividend of 1.32 sen per share for the quarter, with an estimated payout of MYR3.6m, payable on June 22. It is set to see higher exports to Indonesia’s burgeoning consumer market, on the back of new contracts to major Food & Beverage and fast moving consumer goods companies.
