Improving prospects

Taking into consideration our recent upgrade of CIMB Niaga’s earnings forecasts and improved credit costs for CIMB Group into FY18, we have marginally raised CIMB Group’s FY17/FY18 earnings by 1%/3%, with revised ROEs of 9.6% and 10.6% respectively. We upgrade the stock to BUY with TP raised to MYR7.50 on a higher 2018 PBV peg of 1.3x - what differentiates CIMB is the expected expansion in its ROEs into FY18, versus a step-down in avg ROEs to 12.2% in 2018 from 12.6% in 2017, for its peers.

2Q17: Within expectations

2Q17 results and 1st gross DPU of 4.3sen were in line. The YoY bottomline growth was mainly encouraged by sustained occupancy rates and positive rental reversions at both prime malls. Our earnings forecasts and DDM-TP of MYR1.85 (cost of equity: 7.5%) are intact. IGBREIT is still our top pick for the sector based on its resilient earnings.

Saying goodbye to MNI

MPR will recognize an impairment of MYR142.4m from winding up 21%-owned MNI. Elsewhere, our hopes on an industry-wide adex recovery this year may have been overly sanguine. We cut FY17/18/19 core net profit forecasts by 93%/76%/70%, DPS to 4sen/1sen/2sen from 8sen/6sen/7sen. This leads to lower end-FY17E ex-goodwill BVPS of MYR1.02 vs. MYR1.20 previously. Ascribing an unchanged 0.9x peg to end-FY17E BVPS, our revised TP for MPR is MYR0.92 vs. MYR1.10 previously.

FBMKLCI rose for a second day, climbing 5.48pts to 1,770.61 yesterday, in line with regional gains. Gainers were led by MISC, CIMB and Genting.

Outside Malaysia:

U.S: Fed officials point to balance-sheet announcement in September. Two regional Federal Reserve presidents signaled that policy makers may announce the timing of the balance-sheet unwind when they meet next month, as the U.S. economy shows itself strong enough to withstand a return to more normal monetary policy. The September Federal Open Market Committee meeting “would be an appropriate time to do this,” San Francisco Fed chief John Williams told reporters of balance-sheet normalization. Boston Fed President Eric Rosengren signaled he, too, might support a balance-sheet announcement at the Sept. 19-20 gathering. (Source: Bloomberg)

China: Bonds in demand as foreign holdings jump most in 10 months. Overseas investors boosted their holdings of Chinese sovereign bonds in July by the most since September as a link with Hong Kong’s offshore market made purchases easier. Foreign institutions bought CNY 37.8b (USD 5.6b) of the debt -- an increase of 8.4% from June -- to a record CNY 486.8b, China Central Depository & Clearing Co. data showed. The holdings have risen for the fifth month in a row now. (Source: Bloomberg)

India: Cuts interest rates to the lowest since 2010 to boost an economy struggling to recover from Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s cash clampdown. The benchmark repurchase rate was cut to 6% from 6.25%, the Reserve Bank of India said. Five of the six-member monetary policy committee voted for a cut with this seen as Governor Urjit Patel’s last chance through 2018 to spur growth before the U.S. Federal Reserve reduces its balance sheet, forcing emerging markets to tighten. (Source: Bloomberg)

S. Korea: President Moon Jae-in’s government plans to raise taxes on big corporations and high-earning individuals as part of efforts to address inequality. Moon’s administration will propose increasing the nominal tax rate on companies whose taxable income exceeds KRW200b (USD178m) to 25% from 22%, the Finance Ministry said in a statement. The income tax rate for individuals would rise to 40% from 38% for those earning more than KRW300m, and to 42% from 40% for those earning more than KRW500m. The package of tax revisions would raise a net KRW5.5t of additional annual revenue, the ministry said. (Source: Bloomberg)

Crude Oil: Hold gains as U.S. crude stockpiles extend decline. Crude inventories slid by 1.5 million barrels last week, according to the Energy Information Administration, dropping by about half the amount analysts had forecast in a Bloomberg survey. Motor fuel supplies fell for a seventh week while oil output expanded to the highest level since July 2015. Oil climbed amid optimism output curbs by members of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and its allies are rebalancing the market. While U.S. stockpiles have dropped during a period of strong seasonal demand, supplies remain about 95 million barrels above the five-year average. Brent for October settlement was USD 52.36/bbl.
