Expanding radio portfolio

ASTRO will acquire Capital FM and Red FM for MYR42m cash. The purchase consideration values each radio stations at MYR21m, pricey by recent benchmarks. Both radio stations will be rebranded; we are unsure on the value add given that ASTRO already operates nine radio stations covering all major language groups and commands 70% share of radio adex. That said, we opine that this development is immaterial to ASTRO.

Capital & Red FM will play their last tunes for STAR

STAR stands to receive a total cash consideration of MYR42m (6sen/shr) for its sale of both Capital and Red FM. We are positive on this disposal as not only are they being disposed at a relatively good price, the losses from both radio stations (FY15: -MYR4.1m) will no longer be a drag to STAR’s future earnings. That said, we do not believe this development is significant enough to re-rate the stock. HOLD; our TP is SOP-based.

Earnings may fall short

Glomac’s upcoming 1QFY4/17 results could come in below expectations, with weaker core net profit QoQ and YoY. Glomac’s internal sales target of MYR600-650m for FY17 also seems challenging. We adjust our earnings forecasts by -21% to +3.4% but raise RNAV-TP by +8% to MYR0.82 (on unchanged 60% disc. to RNAV) after factoring the Plaza Kelana Jaya phase 4 (PKJ4) project

Decelerated on slower manufacturing





Industrial production (IP) growth slowed YoY and fell MoM in July 2016 by +4.1% and -2.2% respectively (June 2016: +5.2% YoY; +2.3% MoM), mainly on manufacturing’s slowest YoY growth this year of +3.2% and the MoM drop of -3.4% (June 2016: +4.6% YoY; +3.9% MoM). Like the earlier external trade statistics, figures for July 2016 were affected by the public holiday.

U.S: Brainard says prudence warranted as hiking rates poses risks. Federal Reserve Governor Lael Brainard counseled continued prudence in tightening monetary policy, even as she said the economy is making gradual progress toward achieving the central bank’s goals. “The case to tighten policy preemptively is less compelling” in an environment where declining unemployment has been slow to spur faster inflation, Brainard said, according to the text of her prepared remarks in Chicago. She made no reference to a specific meeting of the policy-setting Federal Open Market Committee. (Source: Bloomberg)

U.S: CEOs’ optimism ebbs, suggesting growth to stay muted. Chief executive officers of some of the largest U.S. companies have become less optimistic about their business prospects, suggesting economic growth is likely to remain muted. The Business Roundtable CEO Economic Outlook Index, a measure of expectations for revenue, capital spending and employment, declined to 69.6 in the third quarter from 73.5 in the previous quarter, according to a survey released. It was the first decline since the end of last year. Readings above 50 indicate economic expansion, and the gauge remains below its long-run average of 79.6. (Source: Bloomberg)

U.K: House prices edge higher in ‘muted’ post-Brexit market. U.K. house prices edged higher in August as the property market continued to experience a lackluster recovery following a tax increase and the shock of the Brexit vote, according to Acadata and LSL Property Services Plc. The average value of a home rose just 0.1% MoM, the same pace as in July, to GBP 292,921 (USD 390,000), the groups said in a report published.
