TP Revision

Astro Malaysia (ASTRO MK)
by Samuel Yin Shao Yang

Share Price:

MYR1.83

Target Price:

MYR2.00

Recommendation:

Hold

Saved by less content cost

1QFY1/19 core net profit beat our expectations due largely to lower-than-expected content cost. Our FY1/19 EPS estimate is raised +3% but our long term EPS estimates are little changed. Due to minor housekeeping, our SOP-based TP is trimmed by 5% to MYR2.00. ASTRO's share price has surged 35% from its recent trough but as it clarified that it has not received any privatisation proposal and the 1QFY1/19 DPS declared was lower YoY, we opine that its upside potential has narrowed.

Target Price:

MYR0.56

Recommendation:

Hold

A tough year

Glomac's FY4/18 core net profit was below our and consensus expectations, with weaker core net profit by -58% YoY. Its FY4/18 property sales of MYR214m (-49% YoY) also fell short due to the lack of new launches. We lower our earnings forecasts by 11-13%. Our new RNAV-TP is MYR0.56 (-1sen) on unchanged 0.3x P/RNAV peg. HOLD.

MY: Traders' Almanac

KLTEC Index: Taking a Short Breather
by Nik Ihsan Raja Abdullah

Technical Research

FBMKLCI surged 21.99pts to 1,777.13 yesterday, in line with regional gains. Advancers were led by ASTRO, AXIATA and YTL. Second and third liner stocks also hogged the limelight on bottom fishing. Market breath was positive, with gainers outpacing losers by 716 to 267. A total of 3.50b shares worth MYR3.02b changed hands. FBMKLCI could extend its gains as worries over a full-blown trade war dissipate. The firmer US markets would also lend support to the local bourses.

NEWS

Outside Malaysia:

Global: Investment flows plummeted 23% in 2017 to three-year low. Global flows of foreign direct investment plunged 23% in 2017 to a three-year low amid a decline in cross-border mergers and acquisitions, a trend the United Nations called "troubling" for the risk it poses to emerging economies. The decline in FDI to USD1.43tr from USD1.87tr in 2016 -- even as trade and economic growth picked up -- also reflected lower investment in projects other than mergers, according to the annual World Investment Report from the UN Conference on Trade and Development. Inward flows to developed economies dropped 37% to USD712b as mergers and acquisitions fell 29%. Meanwhile, FDI flows to developing economies remained stable at USD671b, with investment into Latin America rising for the first time in six years. (Source: Bloomberg)

U.S: Trade gap narrows to seven-month low on record exports. The U.S. trade deficit narrowed to the lowest level since September as exports rose to a record, amid Trump administration tariffs and trade threats that risk hurting global commerce. The gap decreased 2.1% in April to USD46.2b, from a revised USD47.2b in the prior month, Commerce Department data showed. Exports ticked up while imports fell slightly, according to the report. President Donald Trump's tariffs on imported steel and aluminium have showed signs of pushing up prices while disrupting some businesses, though they haven't yet weighed on broader U.S. economic growth. This month's extension of the metals levies to allies including Canada and Europe, along with plans for tariffs on additional Chinese goods, risk a wider trade war. (Source: Bloomberg)

U.S: OECD sees fiscal policy as short-term boost, long-term risk. The near-term outlook for the U.S. economy is strong, driven in part by tax cuts and government spending that will also raise the risk of unsustainable deficits in the longer run, according to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. The second-longest U.S. economic expansion on record has picked up speed as tax changes help spur business fixed investment, the group said in its annual survey of the country's economic health. The OECD forecast U.S. growth accelerating to 2.9% in 2018 from 2.3% last year, followed by 2.8% in 2019. "Private consumption remains solid, driven by strong job gains and buttressed by wealth gains from buoyant asset prices and high levels of consumer confidence," the report said. "The newly introduced tax cuts will spur business investment, and raising the spending ceilings will lead to a sizable fiscal impulse." (Source: Bloomberg)

China: Central bank stepped up injections of cash to the financial system, as lenders face a seasonal liquidity squeeze complicated by an oncoming U.S. Federal Reserve rate hike. The People's Bank of China offered CNY463b (USD72.4b) via its Medium-term Lending Facility to commercial lenders. When taking into account of CNY259.5b of such contracts maturing this month, the PBOC has pumped in a net CNY203.5b via such monetary policy tools so far this month, the most since March 2017, data compiled by Bloomberg show. (Source: Bloomberg)

India: Central bank raised its benchmark interest rate for the first time since 2014 to curb rising price pressures and calm financial markets as policy tightening in the U.S. rattles emerging markets. All six members of the Monetary Policy Committee voted to increase the repurchase rate to 6.25% from 6%, the Reserve Bank of India said. The RBI cited volatile crude oil prices and global financial market developments as a risk to its outlook. Oil is India's biggest import and rising prices is a threat not only to inflation, but also the nation's sizable trade deficit, putting more pressure on the currency. (Source: Bloomberg)
