Looking to sell HLA, HLMT

We estimate the potential sale of HLA and HLMT is a positive in that it would unlock the valuations of Malaysia’s fourth largest life insurer. The disposals could raise about MYR3.2b, which translates to MYR2.79/share, which we think could potentially be distributed back to shareholders. We are positive on the stock and maintain our BUY and SOP of MYR17.00.

Sports Pack price hiked by MYR8/month

The Sports Pack price will be raised by MYR8/month effective 1 Aug 2016. All else being equal, this price hike will raise FY1/17 ARPU by MYR1.60. That said, we fear that subscribers will downgrade or disconnect their packages in response, due to the current weak consumer sentiment. Maintain our earnings estimates which reflect nil net Pay-TV additions and MYR99.4 ARPU in FY1/17. Still prefer ASTRO relative to its adex-based peers (i.e. MPR, STAR and MCIL).

Menara Shell: Long-term positive

MQREIT’s proposed funding for the Menara Shell acquisition via new unit placement is EPU and DPU dilutive, based on our initial assumptions. We raise FY17-18 net profit forecasts by 45% each but lower DPU by 4-5%. Downgrade to HOLD with a lower DCF-based TP of MYR1.10 (-5sen; WACC: 6.6%, terminal yield: 7.0%) as total return is <10%.

1QFY1/17 results in line

1QFY1/17 results were expectedly in line. Our forecasts (22% 3-year NP CAGR) are unchanged. A potential 15sen special DPS, estimated in three months post divestment of its non-O&G operations in Jul 2016 is an immediate catalyst. Securing new FPSO job wins is a long term earnings accelerator, which will propel growth beyond FY19.

Such plans are currently in place in several member states and there is no expectation that the need to use this scheme should arise, according to the Commission. (Source: Bloomberg)
