Share Price:

Target Price:
MYR1.80
Recommendation:
Buy




A slow start

1Q16 results were below expectations primarily on cost escalations mainly relating to maintenance. Nevertheless, with maintenance activities tapering off, and PD Power’s extended PPA kicking in, Malakoff’s earnings outlook should improve in the coming quarters. BUY rating retained with an unchanged TP of MYR1.80.

Share Price:
MYR8.46
Target Price:
MYR7.00
Recommendation:
Sell




Concrete cracks

Poor core 1Q16 net profit of MYR26m was significantly below our and market’s expectations. Furthermore, LMC has also lost its only appeal as a high-yield play with its first interim dividend reduced to only 3sen/shr (-63% YoY); annualising it indicates a dividend yield of only 1.4% for 2016. Maintain our earnings forecasts, SELL call and TP of MYR7.00 (22x 2016 PER; mean) pending a briefing next Monday.

Share Price:
MYR0.91
Target Price:
MYR1.16
Recommendation:
Buy




1Q16 a miss

1Q16 results fell short, on widening QoQ core net losses. This prompted a 69-104% rise to our net loss forecasts for FY16-18. Despite the setback, downside is limited for the tough operating and financial outlook over the next 12 months has been reflected in the share price’s performance (-56% since a year ago). We reiterate our contrarian Trading BUY call with an unchanged MYR1.16 TP, based on 1x EV/replacement value.

Genting Plantations (GENP MK)
by Chee Ting Ong





Share Price:
MYR10.64
Target Price:
MYR10.00
Recommendation:
Hold




Lacks catalyst

1Q16 core PATMI came in below expectations largely on negative FFB output growth, and low CPO ASP achieved. Earnings will get better but largely in 2H16 as FFB output is expected to remain weak in 2Q16. Given the lack of catalyst and trading at 26x 2016 PER, GENP remains a HOLD with an unchanged RNAV-based TP of MYR10.00.

Share Price:
MYR1.15
Target Price:
MYR1.30
Recommendation:
Hold




1Q16: Dragged by weak output

THP’s 1Q16 results fell short due to weaker-than-expected FFB output that was affected by the dry weather. However, earnings should improve in the coming quarters on seasonally stronger production and higher CPO price. Therefore, our earnings forecasts are unchanged. Maintain HOLD at an unchanged TP of MYR1.30 based on 1x trailing P/NTA (-1SD of 3-year mean trailing P/NTA) due to the lack of catalyst.

Outside Malaysia:

U.S: Fed’s Harker sees two to three hikes in 2016 as prices gain. Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia President Patrick Harker said that he could see two to three rate hikes in 2016 and that prices will return towards the central bank’s inflation target over the medium term. “Although I cannot give you a definitive path for how policy will evolve, I can easily see the possibility of two or three rate hikes over the remainder of the year,” he told an audience in Philadelphia. Harker later told reporters that “if the data comes in and it’s not that consistent with my view of the strength in the economy, then I would pause, but otherwise, I think a June rate increase is appropriate.” The policy-setting Federal Open Market Committee next meets June 14-15 in Washington.

E.U: Growth in the Euro Area’s private sector unexpectedly slowed in May, signaling that the region won’t maintain the strong pace of expansion recorded at the start of the year. A Purchasing Managers Index slipped to 52.9 from 53 in April, London-based Markit Economics said. A gauge for services activity held at 53.1, while one for manufacturing fell to 52.4 from 52.6. The 19-nation economy expanded 0.5% in the first quarter, the fastest pace in a year. (Source: Bloomberg)

Crude oil: Trades near USD 48/bbl as US stockpiles seen declining. Inventories dropped by 2 million barrels last week, according to a Bloomberg survey before Energy Information Administration data Wednesday. All of the Canadian oil-sands facilities that workers evacuated as a wildfire spread are being allowed to prepare for restart as cool, humid weather have helped contain the inferno. Oil has surged more than 80% from a 12-year low earlier this year on signs the global surplus will ease as U.S. output declines. The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries is unlikely to set a production target when it meets June 2 as it sticks with Saudi Arabia’s strategy to squeeze out rivals, according to all but one of 27 analysts surveyed by Bloomberg.
