Better earnings ahead

Substantially weaker 3Q16 results were below expectations on weakness across all segments, particularly Petroleum and Offshore. However, we think earnings could pick up again in 4Q16 on the seasonal strength in petroleum tanker rate and additional earnings from new assets. We lower our 2016-18 EPS forecasts by 8%/8%/5% but maintain our SOP-based TP of MYR7.60 as the earnings revision has just a small impact to our SOP. Maintain HOLD.

Nothing untoward

PTG’s 9M16 results were in-line, all segments performing within expectations. There remains no indication for now, of PTG raising its dividend payout ratio, although we do not rule out such a possibility. Maintain HOLD with an unchanged MYR24.00 TP.

Recommendation:

Fantastic operations but ASP thwarts

3Q16 core PATAMI of MYR891m (-2.7% YoY and +34% QoQ) was in-line. PCHEM delivered record factory utilisation of 95.7% in 9M16 (+10.4ppt YoY) but ASP has declined by 7.9% YoY. We revise our ASP growth forecast for 2016 to -6% (from -5%) but keep our FY17-18 EPS unchanged. We roll-over our base valuation year to FY17 and apply global peer average EV/EBITDA of 8x to derive a TP of MYR7.40 (+5sen). There is limited upside to our TP, and hence PCHEM remains a HOLLD.

U.S: Fed sets up move in December while leaving rates on hold. Federal Reserve policy makers left interest rates unchanged while saying the argument for higher borrowing costs strengthened further amid accelerating inflation, reinforcing expectations for a hike next month. “The committee judges that the case for an increase in the federal funds rate has continued to strengthen but decided, for the time being, to wait for some further evidence of continued progress toward its objectives,” the Federal Open Market Committee said in a statement following a two-day meeting in Washington. The decision was 8-2. (Source: Bloomberg)

E.U: Manufacturing expanded in October at the fastest pace since early 2014, with strengthening demand creating room for higher prices. A Purchasing Managers’ Index for factories rose to 53.5 from 52.6 in September, exceeding an Oct. 24 estimate of 53.3, IHS Markit said. A gauge for new orders rose to the highest level since December. (Source: Bloomberg)

Germany: Unemployment fell more than forecast in October, pushing the jobless rate to a fresh record low. The number of people out of work declined by a seasonally adjusted 13,000 to 2.662 million in October, data from the Federal Labor Agency showed. The jobless rate dropped to 6%, the lowest level since the country’s reunification. (Source: Bloomberg)

U.K: House prices failed to rise in October and annual inflation slowed to the weakest since the start of the year, according to Nationwide Building Society. The stagnation in values on the month ends 15 consecutive months of increases, Nationwide said. In its analysis of the market, it said measures of housing activity remain “fairly subdued,” with transactions about 10% down from a year earlier. Annual price growth slowed to 4.6% from 5.3%.

Crude Oil: Holds below USD 46/bbl after crude stockpiles climb most on record. Crude inventories rose 14.4 million barrels last week, the biggest gain in data going back to 1982, according to the Energy Information Administration. Imports surged 28% to the highest in four years. Prices were down before the report’s release on record OPEC output last month, which is complicating the group’s effort to stabilize prices.
