U/G to BUY on three anchors

We upgrade AirAsia to BUY after considering three factors. First, we incorporate the benefit of new capital injection from the issuance of 559m of new AirAsia shares to Tune Live Sdn Bhd. Second, we tweak up our FY16-18 net profit forecasts by +1.6%, +3.8% and +4.1% respectively on lower interest payments. Third, we switch to global peer average PER as the valuation metric (previously 1x P/BV) as many risk factors have abated. Our new TP is MYR2.50 (from MYR1.80) pegged to 10.8x FY16.

Allaying Petrobras’ PLSV concerns

Though the market is likely to be concerned over Upstream’s article on Petrobras’ move to renegotiate contracts for PLSVs in Brazil, the situation is less hostile than expected, as we had highlighted last month. The Petrobras job accounts for 6-8% to SAKP’s earnings p.a.. That aside, unlocking and monetising its gas reserve is high on SAKP’s agenda, a major catalyst not factored in by the market yet. Our unchanged SOP-based MYR2.00 TP offers a 27% upside.

Secures financing for Peterborough’s WTE project

Securing £35m financing from Export-Import Bank of Malaysia (Exim Bank) for its Peterborough’s waste-to-energy (WTE) project is a key catalyst. We expect full financial closure of the remaining £65m soon. Total project cost is £140m, of which £40m is for land acquisition. Our BUY call and MYR0.80 TP, based on 0.4x EV/ backlog, exclude any contributions from RE projects.

Aviation: Raya Airways breaks duopoly at KLIA. Raya Airways Sdn Bhd, formerly Transmile Air Services Sdn Bhd, will soon break the duopoly and get a slice of the action in the provision of cargo terminal and ground-handling services at KLIA. The cargo is partnering with one of the world’s leading ground-handling firms for the venture. Its partnership with the global Asian company would provide it with the leverage to sustain competition. A sum of MYR100m is part of the USD180m (MYR722m) capex Raya Airways would raise through internal funding and bank borrowings to turn around the air freighter, which include re-fleeting.
