FY1/18 results in line

Impairment aside in 4QFY1/18, FY1/18 core net loss came in line with our estimates but below consensus. SAPE is optimistic of the sector's recovery, premised on improving tender prospects and sentiment. Its midterm target is to: (i) grow orderbook, (ii) lower debt levels and (iii) monetise its E&P assets, as it balances growth with lean financials. Our TP is SOP-based and unchanged, fully rolled over to FY20.

Within expectations

1HFY7/18 earnings were within our expectation at 46% of our full-year forecast. Despite a slight QoQ weakness in 2QFY18, we believe that earnings would catch up in 2HFY18 as utilisation for VSI's new box-build production lines gain traction with a key product launch recently by VSI's largest client. We make no changes to our forecasts. VSI's fundamentals are intact with visible growth over the next 3 years. Our MYR3.18 TP is peg to an unchanged 17.5x CY19 EPS (in line with peers). Maintain BUY.

Recommendation:

Hold

Weak end to a challenging year

4QFY1/18 and FY1/18 results disappointed on lower-than-expected ARPU. YoY decline in TV subscription revenue continues to accelerate. We cut our earnings estimates by 9-10%. Although we expect FY19 EBITDA to dip temporarily due to FIFA World Cup content cost, we do not expect long term EBITDA to be much higher than that of FY17 and FY18. Thus, we also trim our terminal growth rate from 2.5% to 1.0% which lead to a lower DCF-based TP of MYR2.10 from MYR2.55.

HH debt ratio improves | NEUTRAL
by Desmond Ch'ng

Sector Note

The ongoing message from BNM's 2017 Financial Stability and Payment Systems Report is that the banking system remains resilient under severe stress test scenarios. The household segment continues to be stable, but the Central Bank remains cautious over the oversupply situation in the non-residential property sector and expects oil price uncertainties to continue to weigh on the oil & gas sector. We maintain our NEUTRAL stance on the sector, with BUYS on ABMB, HLFG and BIMB.

Property Index: Treading within Major Support Zones
by Nik Ihsan Raja Abdullah

Technical Research

FBMKLCI fell 4.81pts to 1,857.87 yesterday, led by declines in GENM, SIMEPLT, and AMBANK. Sentiment was affected by renewed concerns of a trade war. Broader market was negative with losers outpacing gainers by 651 to 251. A total of 2.08b shares worth MYR1.81b changed hands. Markets will likely stay volatile today after US stocks ended lower. Technology stocks could take the brunt of the selling, mirroring the performance of Amazon.

NEWS

Outside Malaysia:

U.S: Reached agreement with South Korea on a revised trade pact that includes a side deal aimed at deterring competitive currency devaluation by Seoul and provides relief from U.S. tariffs on steel, senior Trump administration officials said. South Korea's steel exports to the U.S. will fall by about 30%, but the Asian country is still subject to a 10% aluminium tariff. The deal includes provisions outlined by South Korean officials, including a 20-year extension of the 25% U.S. tariff on pickup trucks and a doubling of the Korean import cap on autos that meet U.S. specifications to 50,000 per manufacturer per year.

U.S: Economic growth slowed less than previously estimated in 4Q 2017. GDP expanded at a 2.9% annual rate in the final three months of 2017, up from the previously reported 2.5%. The biggest gain in consumer spending in three years partially offset the drag from a surge in imports. The upward revision to the fourth-quarter growth estimate also reflected less inventory reduction than previously reported. The government also reported that after-tax corporate profits increased at a 1.7% rate in the fourth quarter after rising at a 5.7% pace in the third quarter. (Source: CNBC.com)

Crude Oil: Posts longest slide in a month as U.S. supplies expand. Oil fell for a third day, the longest losing streak in almost a month, as U.S. crude stockpiles resumed their expansion. Before this week, oil had recovered from February's losses after U.S. President Donald Trump named hawkish officials to his government, signalling the nation may pursue a more hard-line approach toward OPEC member Iran. Still, fears remain that surging American shale production could thwart efforts by the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries to reduce a global oversupply. The stockpile increase was the fourth in five weeks. Inventories at the Cushing, Oklahoma, storage hub jumped 1.8 million barrels, the most since a year ago. Meanwhile gasoline supplies fell 3.47 million barrels, according to the EIA. Brent for May settlement closed at USD69.53/bbl. (Source: Bloomberg)
