Bumitama Agri (BAL SP)
by Chee Ting Ong





Share Price:
SGD0.84
Target Price:
SGD0.85
Recommendation:
Hold




Upside limited; D/G to HOLD

Given the limited upside to our unchanged TP, we downgrade the shares to HOLD (from BUY). Also, similar to other Singapore listed planters, we expect 1Q16 to come in below our and street estimates due to low 1Q16 FFB output, low spot CPO ASP, and new annual depreciation charges following the revised FRS 16 and 41 accounting standards (effective 1 Jan 2016).

Results Preview

Equities/derivatives trading value/volume during 1Q16 were sustained at 4Q15 levels, leading us to expect Bursa’s 1Q16 results, to be released today, to be within range, vis-a-vis expectations. We estimate MYR49m net profit for 1Q16 (+4% YoY, -3% QoQ). We make no change to our earnings forecasts but lift our TP to MYR9.05 (+80sen) after revising our target PER to 23x (from 21x) to be in line with peers. Maintain HOLD.

Company Update





MISC Bhd (MISC MK)
by Yen Ling Lee





Share Price:
MYR8.86
Target Price:
MYR8.60
Recommendation:
Hold




Raising its oil tanker exposure

MISC is buying the remaining 50% equity interest in PTC, which houses six relatively young Aframax tankers for USD56m (or MYR218m). While we are less sanguine on the petroleum tanker market, we are neutral on this latest development as the acquisition cost is insignificant to MISC (<1% of market capitalisation) and this exercise will have minimal impact to its earnings/gearing. Maintain HOLD and SOP-based TP of MYR8.60.

Share Price:
MYR4.68
Target Price:
MYR5.00
Recommendation:
Hold




Mixed trends

1Q16 results were overall in line, as healthy postpaid momentum was offset by prepaid ARPU contraction. Interestingly, management alluded to a renewed emphasis on effective monetisation going forward. The still unknown spectrum fee remains the main overhang for the stock. Maintain HOLD with an unchanged TP of MYR5.00.

NEWS


Outside Malaysia:

Brazil: Sheds jobs for 12th straight month as recession deepens. Brazil shed more than 100,000 formal jobs in March as a second year of recession pummels a labor market that’s not expected to improve in 2016 regardless of how President Dilma Rousseff’s impeachment process plays out. The March result of 118,776 jobs lost marked the 12th straight month of employment decline, the longest run of negative prints since the government began tracking formal job creation in 2003. Since Rousseff began her second term in 2014, almost 2 million formal jobs have been cut. Over the same period, the national unemployment rate has risen to 10.2% from 6.5%. (Source: Bloomberg)

Saudi Arabia: Saudi key rate climbs to 2009 high as funding squeeze tightens. A key interest rate in Saudi Arabia climbed to the highest level in seven years as oil’s slump and increased government borrowing put further strain on bank funding in the biggest Arab economy. The three-month Saudi Interbank Offered Rate, a benchmark used to price loans, advanced 1.5 basis points to 2.004%, surpassing 2% for the first time since January 2009, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The rate has risen 46 basis points this year, the biggest increase for the period since 2005, the data show. (Source: Bloomberg)

Vietnam: IMF seeks lower fiscal deficit, predicts slower growth. IMF mission which just completed its 2016 Article IV consultation with Vietnam, is recommending measures to cut the fiscal deficit to around 3% of GDP by 2020 from about 6.5%, the team led by John Nelmes said in a statement. Steps include broadening revenue base; safeguarding spending on education, health and infrastructure; resolving bad loans and strengthening capital in state-owned banks. GDP growth for 2016 is seen easing to around 6% due to weak global demand and drought. Monetary policy should remain on hold while underlying inflation remains muted. (Source: Bloomberg)

Crude Oil: Oil bulls plunge into market as U.S. gasoline demand hits record. Money managers shrugged off the failure of the world’s biggest oil producers to agree on an output freeze as U.S. gasoline demand surged. West Texas Intermediate crude surged 8.3% the week after talks in Doha collapsed. Investors focused on falling U.S. output and higher fuel use as the peak summer driving season approaches. American gasoline consumption rose to 9.25 million barrels a day in March, an all-time high for the month, the American Petroleum Institute said April 21. (Source: Bloomberg)
