Company Update

IOI Corporation (IOI MK)
by Chee Ting Ong

Share Price:

MYR4.70

Target Price:

MYR5.03

Recommendation:

Buy

A beneficiary of stronger Ringgit

IOI is a beneficiary of the strengthening Ringgit (MYR). This will be evident from its 2QFY6/18 headline net profit which we estimate at MYR550m (2QFY6/17: MYR16m), lifted by FX translation gains (e.MYR200m) and higher core profits (e.MYR350m), bringing 1HFY6/18 headline net profit to e.MYR910m (1HFY6/17: MYR120m). Maintain trading BUY with an unchanged TP of MYR5.03 on 29x FY18 PER (its historical 5-year mean). A 12.5sen special DPS awaits investor post completion of Loders disposal.

Disposes entire 11% stake in Hyderabad Airport

MAHB has entered into a sale purchase agreement (SPA) to sell its entire 11% stake in GMR Hyderabad International Airport Limited (GHIAL) to GMR Airports for USD76.05m (MYR295.34m) cash. This SPA is based on a willing-buyer, willing-seller basis and will be settled by 1 Dec 2018. This is positive development as it allows MAHB to focus on its core operations and reduce its gearing ratio. We raise our TP to MYR8.11, which includes 15.4sen net gain from this asset disposal. MAHB remains a SELL.

MACRO RESEARCH

RN: Regional Traders' Almanac

US Markets – Temporary Setback as February Still Favours the Bulls
by Nik Ihsan Raja Abdullah

Technical Research

We had forewarned that the US markets could consolidate (refers to Regional Traders' Almanac dated 25 Jan 2018). True enough, both Dow Jones Index & S&P 500 Index nosedived last week. Looking at the still-weak indicators, we believe the near-term trend is still down. INDU Index could potentially head towards its next support levels at 24,900 and 24,000. That said, the index has always ended higher in February since 2010.
