Since MAG reported poor 2Q16 results on 18 Aug 2016, its share price has eased 8%. That said, the poor results were due to an unusually high prize payout ratio that should not recur. Jackpots sales and read throughs from competitors hint that 3Q16 sales may grow YoY. The potential of a large cash call from U-Mobile has also been reduced. Maintain earnings estimates and MYR2.58 DCF-based TP. With 13% upside potential and 7% dividend yield, we upgrade MAG to BUY from HOLD.

Outside Malaysia:

Global: GDP is projected to slow to 3.1% in 2016 before recovering to 3.4% in 2017. The forecast, revised down by 0.1 percentage point for 2016 and 2017 relative to April, reflects a more subdued outlook for advanced economies following the June U.K. vote in favor of leaving the European Union (Brexit) and weaker-than-expected growth in the United States. These developments have put further downward pressure on global interest rates, as monetary policy is now expected to remain accommodative for longer. (Source: IMF WEO Oct 2016)

Brazil: Industry records worst drop in almost five years in August, eliminating gains recorded over the past five straight months and pointing to a long road to economic recovery. Production fell 3.8% MoM from July and was the worst performance since January 2012. Industrial output fell 5.2% YoY, the national statistics agency said. The data highlights the challenges facing Brazil’s industry even as signs of economic recovery emerge. Business confidence has been rising steadily as Finance Minister Henrique Meirelles pushes measures to rein in spending and pull Latin America’s largest economy from recession. (Source: Bloomberg)

E.U: ECB said to build taper consensus as QE decision time nears. The European Central Bank will probably gradually wind down bond purchases before the conclusion of quantitative easing, and may do so in steps of EUR 10b (USD 11.2b) a month, according to euro-zone central-bank officials. An informal consensus has built among policy makers in the past month that asset buying will have to be tapered once a decision is taken to end the program, the officials said, asking not to be identified because their deliberations are confidential. They didn’t exclude that QE could still be extended past the current end-date of March 2017 at the full pace of EUR 80b (USD 90b) a month. (Source: Bloomberg)

U.K: IMF lifts forecast for economy in 2016 despite Brexit. The International Monetary Fund became the latest forecaster to upgrade its outlook for the U.K. this year after the economy proved more resilient than expected following the vote to leave the European Union. In its World Economic Outlook published, the Washington-based lender predicted growth of 1.8% instead of the 1.7% projected in July. That would make it the fastest-growing economy in the Group of Seven. The IMF cut its 2017 forecast to 1.1% from 1.3% and noted its estimates depended on smooth negotiations with the EU. “Slower growth is expected since the referendum as uncertainty in the aftermath of the Brexit vote weighs on firms’ investment and hiring decisions and consumers’ purchases of durable goods and housing,” it said.

Crude Oil: Resumes advance as U.S. industry data shows inventory dropped by 7.6 million barrels last week, according to the American Petroleum Institute. An agreement between OPEC and non-members could trim output by 1.2 million barrels a day and boost prices by as much as USD 15 a barrel, according to Venezuela’s oil minister. Brent for December settlement was USD 50.87/bbl on the London-based ICE Futures Europe exchange. (Source: Bloomberg)
