A strong showing

GMB’s 1H16 results beat expectations. With the 2H16 tariff hike already secured, it is possible that GMB’s 2016 spread could come in ahead of guidance. Nevertheless, there remain some uncertainties on the regulatory front (pertaining to the rate of return for regulated assets) for 2017. Maintain HOLD, with an unchanged MYR2.50 TP.

4QFY16 on track

4QFY6/16 earnings and 4th interim gross DPU of 2.1sen were in line. Earnings were mainly lifted by Sunway Pyramid Mall and Sunway Resort Hotel & Spa, and additional revenue contribution from Sunway Putra Mall and Sunway Putra Hotel, but the office segment continued to underperform. We remain neutral on SunREIT’s outlook and maintain our DDM-TP of MYR1.80 (cost of equity: 7.8%).

Diversification pains

Results were below our expectations due to less-than-expected cost savings. We cut EPS estimates by 12-14% and DPS by 1sen. Notwithstanding, MPR’s valuations are not expensive and it is also offering decent yields of >5% p.a.. While the earnings attrition can be attributed to CJ WoW Shop, we are aware of the need to diversify away from the cyclical adex based business model. Our unchanged MYR1.34 TP implies 13.5x FY16E PER or 0.9x below its long-term PER mean.

Sub-4% growth unlikely…





Industrial production index growth consisting of manufacturing, mining and electricity quickened June 2016 and 2Q 2016. Index of services also picked up last quarter. Palm oil output slumped, pointing to further decline in agriculture. Growth in the value of construction works done was sustained, implying steady construction activities. We estimate 2Q 2016 real GDP growth of +4.0% YoY (1Q 2016: +4.2% YoY).

A decent growth in 1H 2016





The economy expanded +2.1% YoY and +0.3% QoQ SAAR in 2Q 2016 (1Q 2016: +2.1% YoY; +1.1% QoQ SAAR), driven by both domestic and external demand. Tweaked our 2016 growth forecast slightly to +1.8% from +1.7% previously, but maintained +1.8% for 2017. With 1H 2016 growth at +2.1% YoY, we expect the economy to expand at slower pace in 2H 2016.

Outside Malaysia:

U.S: Jobless claims little changed for second straight week. The number of Americans filing applications for unemployment benefits was little changed last week, holding near four-decade lows that highlight strength in the job market. Jobless claims fell by 1,000 to 266,000 in the week ended Aug. 6, from a revised 267,000 in the prior period, a report from the Labor Department showed. Filings have been below 300,000 for 75 straight weeks, the longest stretch since 1970. Employers are retaining and hiring more workers and slowly raising wages, indicating consumer spending will keep boosting the world’s largest economy in the second half. Such durability in U.S. employment would be among forces that encourage Federal Reserve policy makers to raise interest rates by the end of 2016. (Source: Bloomberg)

U.K: BOE is sticking to its guns as it moves into its second week of bond purchases. The central bank left its shopping list broadly unchanged after the first week of its extended quantitative easing program saw it fail to attract enough sellers of gilts due in more than 15 years to hit its purchase target. On Aug. 16 it will seek GBP 1.17b (USD 1.5b) of 15 of the 16 securities in that maturity bracket that it sought on Aug. 9, with the July 2055 bond being excluded because the Debt Management Office is selling the debt within a week of the operation. That’s despite the BOE being offered none of the July 2040 and July 2049 bonds at this week’s operation, and having to accept some offers for other gilts that were significantly over the average market price. (Source: Bloomberg)

Russia: Economy shrank the least since a contraction began at the start of last year, putting it on the cusp of exiting the longest recession in two decades. GDP lost 0.6% YoY in the second quarter after a decline of 1.2% YoY in the previous three months, the Federal Statistics Service said, citing preliminary data. (Source: Bloomberg)
