NEUTRAL on sale of GENHK

GENM will dispose its entire 16.9% stake in Genting Hong Kong (GENHK SP, Not Rated) for USD415m (MYR1.7b) cash to Golden Hope Limited. The sale will not have a material impact on GENM’s recurring earnings and the sales proceeds are unlikely to be returned as special DPS. Thus, we maintain our core earnings estimates. As the GENHK shares will be disposed at USD0.29/sh, a tad below the USD0.32/sh value we assigned to them previously, we also maintain our MYR4.55 SOTP-based TP.

NEWS


Outside Malaysia:

U.S: Manufacturing expanded at modest pace in September after unexpectedly shrinking a month earlier, underscoring limited progress for the battered sector. The Institute for Supply Management’s index advanced to 51.5 from August’s 49.4 reading that marked the first contraction in six months. A reading above 50 signals growth. New orders and production swung into expansion territory last month, indicating prospects are gradually improving across America’s manufacturing landscape. At the same time, factories continued to focus on becoming leaner by trimming inventories and cutting employment. (Source: Bloomberg)

U.S: Fed’s Dudley advises caution in raising interest rates. Federal Reserve Bank of New York President William Dudley suggested the central bank should be cautious in raising interest rates, given limits on its ability to respond to a recession with borrowing costs close to zero. Noting concerns from some economists that the risk of a recession is increasing, Dudley told a central-banking seminar hosted at his bank that the Fed may have limited room to cut rates in the event of a downturn in the next few years. That may raise the need to turn again to unconventional policies, such as purchasing bonds. (Source: Bloomberg)

E.U: Euro-Area manufacturing quickens as Germany leads uneven growth. Manufacturing in the euro area accelerated in September as incoming new business grew at the fastest pace in three months. A Purchasing Managers Index for manufacturing rose to 52.6 from 51.7 in August, in line with earlier estimate, IHS Markit said. The expansion was driven by stronger demand from both domestic and international customers, the London-based company said in a statement. (Source: Bloomberg)

U.K. Factories boom as pound’s Brexit plunge boosts exports. U.K. factories had their best month in more than two years in September as the weaker pound sent export orders surging. IHS Markit’s monthly Purchasing Managers Index jumped to 55.4 from 53.4 in August, capping the industry’s best quarter this year. The reading, the highest since June 2014 and far above economists’ forecast for 52.1, pushes the index further above the key 50 line that divides expansion from contraction. Export orders increased the most since January 2014 in September, and Markit said manufacturing probably helped to lift GDP in the third quarter. (Source: Bloomberg)
