Looking sexy again; U/G to BUY

We are positive on IOI's disposal of Loders for MYR3,941m cash, valued at an EV/EBITDA of ~13x (on FY16) and historical average PER of 55x. Save for one-off disposal gain of MYR2,506m (~40sen/sh), the disposal is likely to be (core) EPS neutral to slightly dilutive. We maintain earnings forecasts but raise our call on IOI to a trading BUY as we believe the stock should re-rate on a revitalised balance sheet (FY17's proforma net gearing of 28% from 75%) and a 12.5sen special DPS post-completion.

Small packs?

There are talks about reintroducing small pack cigarettes which were banned in 2010. We believe that this could be a positive development to the tobacco industry. We maintain our earnings forecasts and DCF-TP (WACC: 7.1%, LT growth: 1.5%) for BAT for now pending further updates and developments. Maintain HOLD.

U.S: Household incomes rose to record in 2016 as poverty fell. Median, inflation-adjusted household income increased 3.2% to USD 59,039 last year, from USD 57,230 in 2015.

U.K: Inflation accelerated more than forecast in August, pushing close to 3% again after the biggest surge in clothes prices in almost three decades. The jump to 2.9% from 2.6% in July puts the spotlight squarely back on one of the most prominent economic repercussions of the Brexit vote in 2016. The pound has fallen 11% against the dollar since the referendum, boosting import costs and feeding through to prices for everyday household items. The inflation rate has never been higher since 2012. (Source: Bloomberg)

China: Sentiment among consumers and households is the strongest in more than two decades. The consumer confidence index climbed to 114.6 in July. That's up from last May, when it dipped below 100, the line separating optimism and pessimism. Meanwhile, a private consumer confidence index, compiled by Nielsen Holdings Plc, climbed to 112 in the second quarter, the best reading since at least 2009. A component tracking willingness to spend also climbed to a fresh high, while readings for job prospects and personal finances also increased. (Source: Bloomberg)

Thailand: Cabinet approves change in public debt management bill to allow Finance Ministry to borrow short term for Treasury reserve management, Kobsak Pootrakool, vice minister in prime minister's office, says in briefing in Bangkok.

Crude Oil: Hold gains as OPEC considers prolonging output cuts. Oil held gains as OPEC was said to discuss prolonging output cuts further into next year and as U.S. energy markets continued their slow recovery after disruptions from two hurricanes. A six-month extension to supply curbs from the end of March is one of the options being considered by OPEC and its allies, according to a person familiar with the matter. U.S. shale production is recovering and Gulf Coast refiners are resuming operations after Hurricane Harvey hit more than two weeks ago and shut almost a quarter of the nation's refining capacity.
