Post briefing key takeaways

The OSV market generally remains soft. DCR is softening but utilisation is strengthening. Icon will take delivery of a new AWB ahead of its 1Q17 schedule, driving expectation of securing a charter. It also managed to defer some principal debt repayments by 3 years, a positive to its cash flow. There is no firm M&A for now although Icon is expected to be at the forefront of the OSV consolidation activity in Malaysia. Our earnings forecasts and TP remain, based on 1x EV/replacement value.

Landbanking in Singapore

We are neutral on Sunway’s latest acquisition in Sengkang, Singapore. While land cost seems reasonable at 46% of total GDV, we are concern on the relatively high competition there. Total units completing between 2016-2017 in the Central-North area of Districts 19 and 20 (including Sengkang) are estimated at 8,199 units or 18% of existing stocks (source: Savills Singapore, URA). We maintain our earnings forecasts and RNAV-TP of MYR3.37 (on an unchanged 40% discount to RNAV). Maintain HOLD.

NEWS


Outside Malaysia:

U.S: Services industries in August expand at weakest pace in six years, joining manufacturers in an abrupt slowdown that may signal waning optimism about the economy. The Institute for Supply Management’s non-manufacturing index slumped to 51.4, the lowest since February 2010, from 55.5 in July, the Tempe, Arizona-based group’s report showed. While a reading above 50 indicates the industries that make up almost 90% of the economy are expanding, the figure is lower than the most pessimistic projection in a Bloomberg survey. (Source: Bloomberg)

Germany: Factory orders increased less than forecast in July as domestic weakness damped a surge in investment-goods demand from the euro area. Orders, adjusted for seasonal swings and inflation, rose 0.2% from June, when they fell a revised 0.3%, data from the Economy Ministry showed. Orders were down 0.7% YoY. The report follows a series of data signaling that economic momentum in Europe’s largest economy has cooled. Business confidence slumped the most since 2012 in August and a gauge for private-sector activity fell to the lowest level in 15 months. (Source: Bloomberg)

Japan: Signals BOJ won’t adopt foreign-bond purchases. While Bank of Japan Governor Haruhiko Kuroda has indicated an openness to new ideas, at least one measure - buying foreign bonds - appears to be off the table as the central bank explores its options for monetary stimulus. Prime Minister Shinzo Abe told reporters at the close of a Group of 20 meeting in Hangzhou, China that such purchases are illegal under the Bank of Japan Law if they are meant as a form of currency intervention. (Source: Bloomberg)

Australia: Central bank stood pat on interest rates as it awaits further inflation data and weighs the impact of two cuts in the last four months. In his final meeting, Reserve Bank of Australia Governor Glenn Stevens and his board left the cash rate at 1.5%. Traders see little chance of further easing until after the release of third-quarter consumer-prices data late October, as the outgoing chief reiterated that inflation was expected to remain low for “some time.” Stevens hands the leadership baton to his deputy Philip Lowe in just under two weeks.

It is unknown whether SIPP Energy Sdn Bhd – the sole owner of Southern Power – will bring in a partner to provide the technical expertise needed for the project. After all, SIPP has no prior experience in building power plants. Under the PPA, Southern Power will construct, own, operate and maintain the gas-fired, combined-cycle power plant.
