En-bloc sale in Melbourne

With the enbloc sale, UEMS is now on track to meet its sales target for FY15. We maintain our earnings forecasts and MYR1.10 RNAV-TP (on an unchanged 0.39x P/RNAV peg). Maintain HOLD.

SECTOR RESEARCH






Sector Note
by Mohshin Aziz


MAS ties up with Emirates | NEUTRAL





MAS code shares with Emirates on 90 routes, drops long-haul flights on the affected destinations except London. Clear delineation of markets in Malaysia, less overlap. Minor positive for AirAsia, neutral for AirAsia X and negative to MAHB on loss of traffic.












Sector Note
by Chee Ting Ong


Largely Neutral TPPA impact | NEUTRAL





According to PwC’s cost-benefit analysis studies, the TPPA is expected to have a largely neutral impact on the sector. This is broadly in line with our assessment published on 9 Nov. TPPA opens market access to America but logistics costs may keep demand in check. Freedom of association for all workers may disrupt revenue generation and increase labour costs. Stay NEUTRAL.

NEWS


Outside Malaysia:

U.S: Service industries grew at slower pace in November indicating malaise in manufacturing is impeding progress in other parts of the economy. The Institute for Supply Management’s non-manufacturing index declined to 55.9 from October’s 59.1, the biggest monthly decrease in seven years, the Tempe, Arizona-based group said. A gauge above 50 denotes expansion. (Source: Bloomberg)

U.S: Yellen signals economy nearly ready for first interest-rate hike. Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen delivered a cautiously upbeat outlook for the U.S. economy, signaling the conditions necessary for an interest-rate increase have been met and that she hopes to tighten monetary policy slowly after liftoff. “I currently judge that U.S. economic growth is likely to be sufficient over the next year or two to result in further improvement in the labor market,” Yellen said, according to the text of testimony before Congress’s Joint Economic Committee. “Ongoing gains in the labor market, coupled with my judgment that longer-term inflation expectations remain reasonably well anchored, serve to bolster my confidence in a return of inflation to 2%.” (Source: Bloomberg)

E.U: Draghi braves QE hype with boost that leaves ECB room to do more. The European Central Bank unveiled a package of measures to tackle too-low inflation, from a cut in the floor for interest rates to an expansion of its bond-buying program by at least EUR 360b (USD 390b). Investors were unimpressed. The Frankfurt-based ECB will extend quantitative easing by six months until at least March 2017 at the current rate of EUR 60b a month, and broaden the assets purchased to include local and regional debt, ECB President Mario Draghi said. The Governing Council earlier reduced its deposit rate by 10 basis points to minus 0.3%. (Source: Bloomberg)

France: Unemployment rose to near a record high in the third quarter, the latest sign that President Francois Hollande is struggling to meet a pledge to create jobs. Unemployment climbed to 10.6% in the three months through September from 10.4% the previous quarter, national statistics office Insee said. While jobless claims have been steadily climbing for the past four years to reach a record 3.6 million in October, Hollande has been able to point to France’s growing population as part of the reason. The unemployment rate, by contrast, has stayed below the all-time high reached in 1997. (Source: Bloomberg)

MAHB: Eyes growth; glut to persist among budget airlines. MAHB expects the return of several international airlines to Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) and the government’s initiatives to promote the travel industry to be key growth catalyst for next year.
