Reliving Melaka's glory days

Yong Tai is a tourism-related property developer that holds a 30-year concession to stage Encore Melaka, a show that retells the rich history of Melaka. We forecast core earnings to surge from <MYR1m in FY6/16 to >MYR150m by FY6/20. With 17% upside to our MYR1.75 TP, we initiate coverage with a BUY. We also see added upside of up to MYR0.61/shr to our TP if its remaining land bank is developed. We also note that entertainment shares performed well ahead of the opening of their major attractions.

Big cap with decent yield

The stronger 4Q17 earnings were driven by both Petroleum and Heavy Engineering divisions, but still came in within our expectation. We maintain our FY18-19 EPS forecasts and introduce FY20, expecting EPS growth of 5%/4%/3% in FY18-20. We also maintain our HOLD call and SOP-based TP of MYR7.60. Stock is trading at its 1-year forward PER of 15x (mean) and offers decent dividend yield of 4.2%.

4Q17: Illicit incidence remains high

4Q17 results were below expectations. Illicit incidence has inched higher and this limits BAT's pricing power. Its move into the Econ product range with the introduction of Rothmans in Oct 2017 may pressure margins in the near term, but the currency tailwind with a stronger MYRUSD may provide some buffer to its new import business model (since 2H17).

NEWS

Outside Malaysia:

U.S: American households' outstanding debt climbed to an all-time high of USD13.1t in the October- December period, according to data released. It marked the fourth straight quarter in which borrowing reached a record. Debt balances increased from the previous quarter in all but one category, including a 3.2% gain in credit-card borrowing that was the second-largest since 2007 and a record level of auto loans. At the same time, 7.55% of credit- card balances were in serious delinquency -- those 90 days or more past due -- the highest since the first quarter of 2016, while the 4.05% delinquent share of car loans was the biggest since 2012.The overall share of 90-day delinquent loans fell to 3.12% from 3.19% on declines in the levels for mortgages and student loans.

U.S: Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell suggested that the U.S. central bank would push ahead with gradual interest-rate increases even as it remains on the lookout for threats to the financial system in the wake of the recent stock market rout. "We are in the process of gradually normalizing both interest rate policy and our balance sheet," he said in the text of his ceremonial swearing-in speech in Washington, adding, "We will remain alert to any developing risks to financial stability." They were Powell's first public comments since financial markets last week suffered their most severe bout of volatility in years, partly on concern that rising wages might spur inflation and prod the Fed into faster rate hikes. While the new Fed chairman didn't specifically mention the steep fall in share prices, other central bank officials have played down its impact on the economy and the financial system.

U.K: Inflation held at 3% in January as downward pressure from auto fuel and food prices was offset by the cost of attractions such as zoos and gardens. Consumer prices fell 0.5% from December, as they did in January 2017, the Office for National Statistics said. Annual core inflation accelerated to 2.7% from 2.5%.The Bank of England expects inflation to subside this year as the effect of sterling's 2016 deprecation fades. (Source: Bloomberg)

Japan: Economy expanded for an eighth quarter, but the pace of growth fell sharply and missed expectations. GDP grew at an annualized rate of 0.5% in the three months ended Dec. 31 (estimate +1.0%).The contribution of net exports, or shipments less imports, to GDP growth was zero. Business spending rose 0.7% (estimate +1.1%) from the previous quarter. Private consumption increased 0.5% in the fourth quarter from the previous three months (estimate +0.4%). Japan's economy had cruised along at well above its potential growth rate in recent quarters, fueling growing confidence that an ever-tighter labor market and record corporate profits would generate stronger consumer spending and inflation.
