BOC’s listing still on the table

We continue to peg HL Bank’s valuations to a PBV multiple of 1.4x (ROE: 10.1%), but with valuations rolled forward to CY17 from CY16. As a result, our TP for HL Bank is now raised to MYR15.00 from MYR14.40. Correspondingly, our RNAV valuation for HLFG is raised to MYR17.00 from MYR16.30. We maintain a BUY on both HL Bank and HLFG.

Share Price:
MYR1.46
Target Price:
MYR1.45
Recommendation:
Hold




1Q16 in line

1Q16 earnings were within our and consensus’ expectations. YoY earnings growth was largely supported by additional contributions from its new assets and improved profits from Gurney Plaza and East Coast Mall. However, we remain cautious on Sungai Wang Plaza which could limit near-term earnings. Maintain HOLD with unchanged earnings forecasts and DCF-based TP of MYR1.45 (WACC: 7.2%, terminal yield: 6.5%).

Enhancing food supply chain?

Collaboration with a sizeable food supplier could enhance its food supply chain. In the longer term, earnings enhancement would depend on the demand for its potential food offerings. We maintain our earnings forecasts, HOLD call and TP of MYR1.38 (FY17 PER of 25x).

Sector Note

OPEC: Can’t agree to freeze





The Saudi Arabia-Iran dispute dissipated the chances of a production freeze. For that, the oil market will remain depressed with weakness in oil price expected to persist. Nevertheless, we continue to reiterate that a production freeze would not address the imbalances. A collective production cut is THE catalyst which would be sentiment positive. We remain NEUTRAL from the fundamental perspective, but continue to expect a trading market. SAKP, BArmada, Yinson and KNM are our key picks.

Stimulus-driven soft-landing





China’s 1Q 2016 GDP growth eased marginally to +6.7% YoY (4Q 2015: +6.8% YoY), within the official full-year target growth of 6.5%-7.0%, on effect of monetary and fiscal stimuli, which are expected to continue this year as per the target of sustained money supply growth and larger budget deficit in 2016. Maintained our full-year growth forecast of +6.5% (2015: +6.9%).

NEWS


Outside Malaysia:

U.K. House prices hit record in April as landlords spark chain reaction. Average asking prices rose 1.3% from March to GBP 307,033 (USD 437,000), the property website operator said in a report published. It left values 7.3% YoY higher than a year earlier. The increase came as many homeowners traded up to larger properties after selling to buy-to-let investors eager to complete transactions before a tax hike on second homes took effect on April 1. Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne introduced the 3 percentage-point surcharge amid fears landlords were pushing house prices beyond the reach of first-time buyers. (Source: Bloomberg)

China: Property boost to GDP risks fading after debt-fueled rise. China’s expansion may face stronger headwinds this year should the debt-fueled boost from real estate, a key driver of recent economic growth, prove unsustainable. The economy grew 1.1% in the first quarter from the prior quarter, the slowest quarter-to-quarter expansion in data since 2011, the National Bureau of Statistics said. Housing demand helped boost growth, with output of real-estate services adding 9.1% YoY while construction activities rose 7.8% YoY, NBS said. (Source: Bloomberg)

Crude Oil: Plunges after output talks fail amid Saudi demands over Iran. Futures fell as much as 6.8% in New York, the biggest intraday drop since Feb. 1. The summit in the Qatari capital, which dragged on for more than ten hours beyond its initially scheduled conclusion, finished with no final accord. Discussions stumbled after Saudi Arabia and other Gulf nations wouldn’t agree to any deal unless all OPEC members joined including Iran, which wasn’t present at the meeting, Russian Energy Minister Alexander Novak told reporters.

Other news:

Kian Joo: MYR1.5b takeover offer called off. Takeover off for Kian Joo was called off last Friday on mutual termination by the company and the offeror, Aspire Insight Sdn Bhd. The BSA, ASA (asset sale agreement) and PSA (property sale agreement) will cease to have any effect and will become null and void and neither party shall have any claim whatsoever against the other, Kian Joo said.

Mesiniaga: Wins contract extension worth MYR145.9m. The original contract is worth MYR90m, covering a period of five years from June 11, 2014. It is for the supply, delivery, installation, testing, commissioning, post- acceptance maintenance and support services of new IP core and service edge. With the award of the supplementary agreement, the expiry of the contract is now extended from June 11, 2019 to May 31, 2020. (Source: The Sun Daily)

SAM Engineering: Ready to rock. It says it is on its way to achieve MYR1b revenue goal. With the aerospace business as anchor, we have strategically positioned ourselves to capture more long-term aerospace contract, said SAM Engineering. At present, its order book for the aerospace business exceeds MYR3.5b and this will ensure steady growth in many years. In the long term, it intends to bring revenue contribution from aerospace business to 80% as the business provides the company with a steady stream of profit. (Source: The Edge Financial Daily)

Amway: High operating costs continues to pressure. Amway recognized that operating costs which includes sales and marketing programmes, and foreign exchange rate changes, which has contributed to the slide in net profit over the last two years, will continue to put pressure on the group. It will take some time for Amway to normalize unless it passes all the costs of the weaker ringgit to consumer. However, to support the business, the group’s capex is expected to increase. It will be more aggressive in investing in A&P for Amway Business Owners and also enhance technology and infrastructure (including upgrading its online platform and physical shops) in order to sustain group’s sales.
