Sector Update Construction (OVERWEIGHT, maintain)

Robust outlook despite non-construction drag

The 2Q17 results for the Construction Sector were generally below expectations. Strong earnings growth for the companies' construction divisions was held back by weaker earnings for their non-construction businesses. However, the sector charted strong aggregate core EPS growth of 9% qoq and 23% yoy in 2Q17. We remain Overweight on the sector on the positive outlook on contract awards, which should accelerate in 2H17 with major packages for LRT Line 3 rolling out. Our top BUYs are Gamuda, WCT and HSS.
