The views, deeds and plans shared by Digi’s senior
management during its Analyst Day last Friday once again left a
positive impression. While industry conditions remain challenging, Digi
is well-poised to ride out the storm in our view. Share price has already
rebounded c.10% from its recent trough. Maintain HOLD with an unchanged
TP of MYR5.00.

Though sector’s share price (YTD: -32%) and valuation
(at forward PERs of 10-27x now, from peak of 14-35x) have fallen
substantially, we think the current valuations have yet to fully
reflect the slowing financials (ROEs, margin, earnings growth). We
maintain our NEGATIVE view on the sector. A better time to re-enter
could be after the weak 2Q16 results, which may see PER valuations
down to their historical mean levels.

The drop in index of leading economic indicators eased
to -0.8% YoY in May 2016 vs -2.7% YoY in Apr 2016. Trend suggests
further slowing of real GDP growth in 2Q 2016 but there is emerging
sign of the slowdown stabilizing going into 3Q 2016.

Hovering around
USD97b level…

USD97.3b (MYR390.8b) from USD97.2b (MYR390.4b) on 30 Jun 2016, equal
to 8.2 months of retained imports and 1.2 times of short-term
external debt. External reserves hover around USD97b amid volatile
portfolio capital flows.

Outside Malaysia:
E.U: ‘Sluggish’ Euro Area sees initial Brexit fallout in
services. The euro area’s service sector cooled in July as the U.K.’s
vote to leave the European Union clouded the region’s outlook, according
to Markit Economics. It’s Purchasing Managers Index for the sector
slipped to an 18-month low, dipping to 52.7 from 52.8, it said. While a
manufacturing measure and a joint gauge for both sectors also slipped,
all three remained above the 50 level that signals expansion. The
International Monetary Fund said this week that it had become less
optimistic on global growth, and warned the damage could worsen if
confidence falters among investors and companies. (Source: Bloomberg)
E.U: ECB said to see no rush for September move with QE on
track. European Central Bank policy makers currently see no urgent need
to adjust or expand their bond-buying program in September, according to
Euro-Area officials familiar with the matter. The Governing Council,
which met in Frankfurt on Thursday, views its EUR 1.7tr (USD 1.9tr) quantitative-easing
plan as effective even after the U.K.’s vote to leave the European Union,
and at no immediate risk of running into a shortage of assets, the people
said. While potential changes to QE will probably be discussed at the
next gathering on Sept. 8, there is no reason to expect substantial
alterations unless the outlook worsens, the people said. (Source:

U.K: Brexit wreaks havoc on economy as recession risk
increases. The U.K.’s decision to leave the European Union inflicted an
immediate blow on the economy as business activity shrank at its fastest
pace since the last recession seven years ago. In the weeks following
Brexit, there was a “dramatic deterioration,” Markit Economics said in a
one-time report published. Services and manufacturing shrank and a gauge
of the private-sector economy plunged to 47.7, well below the 50 level
that divides expansion from contraction. The slump is the strongest
evidence yet that politics is propelling the world’s fifth largest
economy into recession. The pound dropped after the report was published,
with Markit saying its latest readings put the economy on course to
contract by 0.4% this quarter. (Source: Bloomberg)
