An encouraging 1QFY17

There were several positives during the quarter, not least being the 10bps QoQ expansion in NIM. The focus on risk-adjusted returns (RAR) continues to yield positive results for the group and asset quality, particularly on the SME front, remains strong. We maintain our earnings forecasts and BUY call on AFG with an unchanged TP of MYR4.60 (CY17 PBV of 1.3x for an ROE of 10.7%).

1QFY17 results in line

That operating profit declined 14% YoY was very much expected but what is encouraging is the 47% QoQ improvement, led by stable NIMs, sustained NOII growth and lower expenses. Credit costs are nevertheless expected to be higher in the following quarters. We maintain our earnings forecasts and HOLD call with an unchanged TP of MYR4.40 (CY17 PBV of 0.8x, ROE: 8.5%).

Recommendation:

1H16 in the red but in line

As expected, UMWOG’s earnings remained in the red for the second consecutive quarter. The tough operating environment and weak earnings are foregone conclusion. UMWOG’s key focus for 2016-17 is to optimise rigs utilisation, cut costs and undertake asset impairment exercises. much of the tough operating and financial outlook has been reflected in the share price. Hence, our contrarian Trading BUY call, underpinned by its undemanding valuations. Our TP is based on 1x EV/replacement value.

Target Price:

Recommendation:
Hold




2Q16: Positively surprises

2Q16 results were above expectations mainly due to lower-than-expected raw material costs and taxes (capital allowances and halal incentives). Into 2H16, NESZ’s domestic segment should continue its positive revenue momentum riding on gradual recovery of consumer sentiment. As for its exports segment, new product launches to neighbouring countries should help support growth. Maintain HOLD but with a higher DCF-TP of MYR77.40 (+MYR4.40) post earnings upgrades.

2Q16 on track

2Q16 earnings and 1st interim gross DPU of 2.6sen were in line as QoQ earnings growth was largely contributed by KOMTAR JBCC mall while its long-term assets provide stable income. Our net profit forecasts and DDM-based TP of MYR1.13 (cost of equity: 8.2%) are intact. ALSREIT offers a decent 1-year forward net DPU yield of 5.0%.

Avengers to the rescue

2Q16 and 1H16 core earnings fell short on lower-than-expected print adex. However, the first interim DPS of 9sen was in-line. Positively, earnings contribution from VHE’s Avengers S.T.A.T.I.O.N exhibition in Paris buffered the fall in print earnings. We lower FY16-FY18 core earnings forecasts by 4%-6% incorporating higher FY16 print adex contraction of -10% (previously -6%). Our SOP-TP is trimmed by 2%/6sen.

Drawdown of inventories and high CPO price lifted 2Q16 core results. Meanwhile, 2Q headline profit was also boosted by MYR83m gain on land disposals. BPlant announced a 2nd interim DPS of 3sen, bringing 1H16 DPS to 6sen (1H15: 7sen). We are keeping our profit forecasts for now. HOLD for its decent dividend yield. RNAV-TP unchanged at MYR1.50.

Crude palm oil prices are seen averaging at MYR2678 per tonne in 2016, up nearly 18% from last year, boosted by demand from top consumer India and replenishment of stocks by China, according to the Malaysian palm oil council (MPOC).
