Getting its groove back

We believe the tide is turning for the better as passenger traffic growth rates have recovered to the pre-2014 levels. Malaysian carriers achieved record load factors in 3Q16 and this will prompt them to deploy more aircraft going forward. Furthermore, traffic growth for the international sector outperforms the domestic segment, which is highly beneficial for MAHB as this provides greater unit revenue and revenues on duty-free retail. No change to our earnings forecast and MYR7.20 DCF-based TP.

New greenfield hospital

The construction of the proposed KPJ Batu Pahat Specialist Hospital will be undertaken by Johor Land and then leased back to KPJ upon completion. This is mildly positive for KPJ, allowing for the expansion of its network of hospitals while not incurring upfront development costs and straining its balance sheet. However, KPJ will bear the capex for fittings and machineries upon completion, which we estimate will be in 2019. We keep our earnings and SOTP-based TP of MYR4.40.

Outside Malaysia:

U.S: Factory production rises for third time in four months on output of consumer goods and construction materials, a sign the industry is gradually recovering from a prolonged spell of weakness. The 0.2% gain at factories, which make up 75% of production, followed a 0.5% decrease the prior month, a Federal Reserve report showed. Total industrial production, which also includes mines and utilities, increased 0.1%. (Source: Bloomberg)

U.S: Fed’s Fischer warns of risk to running too high-pressure economy. Federal Reserve Vice Chairman Stanley Fischer sees limits to how far the U.S. central bank can pursue a strategy to push unemployment ever lower, an approach characterized as seeking a high-pressure economy by his boss, Janet Yellen, in a speech last week. “If you go below the full employment rate, or peoples’ estimates of full employment, by a couple of tenths of percentage points, I don’t think there’s any danger in that,” Fischer said in response to questions at an Economic Club of New York lunch. “But saying we should keep going until the inflation rate shows us we’re wrong, then you’re going to change too late.” (Source: Bloomberg)

U.K: London house prices fell for a fifth month in August, the worst streak for the U.K. capital since the depths of the recession seven years ago. The 0.6% drop, taking the average value to GBP 580,930 (USD 708,000), followed a 1% fall the previous month, LSL Property Services and Acadata said. The annual pace of growth has now slowed to just 2.2%, the weakest since early 2012. The decline is being led by higher-priced boroughs in central London, according to LSL. (Source: Bloomberg)

Russia: Credit outlook was raised by Fitch Ratings, the last major assessor that ranks the country above junk. Fitch lifted the outlook to stable from negative, keeping the sovereign’s foreign-currency rating at BBB-, its lowest investment grade and on par with India and Turkey. That follows a similar move last month by S&P Global Ratings, which along with Moody’s Investors Service ranks Russia at the highest junk level. “Russia has implemented a coherent and credible policy response to the sharp fall in oil prices,” Fitch said. “The strength and quality of the policy response stands out relative to those of other oil producers similarly affected by the oil price shock.” (Source: Bloomberg)
