Titijaya Land: Looks to construction for new growth. While Titijaya Land has denied that China Railway Group Ltd (CREC) is acquiring shares in the company to build up a strategic stake, it will be signing a deal with Chinese construction company tomorrow in relation to what has termed as “a potential development project collaboration”. Though it is yet to be revealed what the deal may entail, Titijaya group managing director Tan Sri Lim Soon Peng said that the company is ready to tied up with CREC’s Malaysian unit, China Railway Engineering Corp S/B to bid

MYR2.7b for SPLASH?

If true at MYR2.7b price tag for SPLASH, Gamuda will receive MYR1.08b cash for its 40% stake. That said, we expect the resolution to take a bit more time to iron out the issues. We maintain our earnings forecasts, and BUY call on Gamuda with an unchanged MYR5.55 RNAV-based TP.

Launch of Avengers & Dimsum

Leveraging on Marvel’s strong brand and immense popularity, we believe 64%-owned Cityneon’s first Marvel’s Avengers S.T.A.T.I.O.N. exhibition in Singapore, launched on 29 Oct, will be very well received. Separately, details of STAR’s new venture, an OTT VOD content service called Dimsum that will provide exclusive Asian content, to be launched on 8 Nov, are scant for now. We maintain our earnings forecasts.

Meeting with CEO & Chairman

We revised Ta Ann’s purchase cost of Agrogreen to ~MYR65,700/planted ha (+17%) following recent NDR with top management. While LT positive given its property development potential, it is likely to be EPS dilutive over the next 3 years. We are keeping our earnings forecasts for now. HOLD with an unchanged TP of MYR3.75 on 15x 2016 PER.

Sale of HLA falls through

That the prospective sale of Hong Leong Assurance (HLA) has fallen through is unfortunate, but it has little bearing on the fundamentals on the group and our valuations, which we maintain. We continue to value HLFG on a sum-of-parts basis, with an unchanged TP of MYR17.10. HOLD.

FPSO: Current status & outlook
by Thong Jung Liaw


Sector Note





We remain positive on the FPSO segment despite the setbacks (i.e. lower utilization, reduced new orders) faced during this cyclical downturn. Cost optimization is high on the agenda. Redeployment opportunities and JVs are practical solutions. Two out of three tenders are redeployments and companies with such asset and stronger financials will benefit. We remain BUYers of Yinson (YNS MK; TP: MYR4.35) and Bumi Armada (BAB MK; TP: MYR1.05) in this space.

External Demand vs Domestic Demand
by Suhaimi Ilias


Economics Research





Exports and imports in Sep 2016 fell –3.0% YoY (Aug 2016: +1.5% YoY) and –0.1% YoY (Aug 2016: +4.9% YoY) while trade surplus narrowed slightly yo +MYR7.6b (Aug 2016: +MYR8.5b). External demand was a drag on 3Q 2016 GDP as trade surplus shrank further (3Q 2016: –19.7% YoY; 2Q 2015: -8.4% YoY), but domestic demand was supported by especially by investment on faster growth in imports of capital goods (3Q 2015: +15.2% YoY; 2Q 2016: +10.2% YoY).

Outside Malaysia:

U.K: May is steadfast on Brexit timing as schism deepens. Theresa May insisted Britain’s exit from the European Union won’t be obstructed by judges or lawmakers as the backlash after last week’s constitutional ruling deepened the country’s political schism. May said her government had a strong legal case to make on appeal. “While others seek to tie our negotiating hands, the government will get on with the job of delivering the decision of the British people,” the prime minister said in the Sunday Telegraph, her first public remarks since the High Court declared that lawmakers should vote on the start of negotiations with the EU. “MPs and peers who regret the referendum result need to accept what the people decided.” (Source: Bloomberg)

U.K. Companies see faster growth before Brexit slowdown: CBI. U.K. companies expect their expansion to accelerate over the next three months before the fallout from the Brexit vote starts to hit, according to a survey by the Confederation of British Industry. Recent growth has been led by manufacturing and distribution, with the former benefiting from the pound’s decline, the CBI said in a report published. Services remained flat. It sees investment and consumption starting to weaken next year on concern that negotiations to leave the EU will hurt trade and fan inflation. (Source: Bloomberg)

China: Monetary policy is ‘prudent’, Prime Minister Li says. “We do not print too much money or resort to sweeping stimulus measures, we focus on structural reforms,” China’s Prime Minister Li Keqiang says at conference in Riga, Latvia. “On the fiscal side, the risks are under control because the debt ratio of the central government is quite low”. The premier sees “no basis” for long-term yuan depreciation. China plans to use yuan for financing, lending for projects involving central, Eastern Europe. (Source: Bloomberg)





Other News:

Tiong Nam: To launch new route to China. Johor based Tiong Nam Logistics Holdings which saw its share price climb to an all-time high of MYR1.76 last Tuesday is set to embark on a new route to China in January next year. Tiong Nam managing director and founder Ong Yoong Nyock sees growing demand for its services, as Beijing’s “One Belt, One Road” policy is expected to boost business activities between China and Southeast Asia. As such, the group in September set up its first transport hub in Guangzhou. (Source: The Edge Financial Daily)

While Titijaya Land has denied that China Railway Group Ltd (CREC) is acquiring shares in the company to build up a strategic stake, it will be signing a deal with Chinese construction company tomorrow in relation to what has termed as “a potential development project collaboration”. Though it is yet to be revealed what the deal may entail, Titijaya group managing director Tan Sri Lim Soon Peng said that the company is ready to tied up with CREC’s Malaysian unit, China Railway Engineering Corp S/B to bid for and undertake upcoming infrastructure projects in the country. The move is part of the pure property developer’s aspirations to diversify into construction sector. (Source: The Edge Financial Daily)

Prasarana: Said to buy Penang ferry ops. Penang Port S/B (PPSB) , operator of the oldest port in the country, may have finally found a buyer for its loss-making ferry operations linking Penang Island to Butterworth. Prasarana is buying the iconic ferry services. However, it is not known how much the public transport service operator will pay for the operations. According to sources close to the situation, the disposal is expected to synchronize with the completion of a MYR200m stake sale of PPSB to MMC Corp in 1Q17. The loss-making ferry service had also been stumbling block to PPSB’s intital public offering. However, doing away with the iconic ferry service is definitely a no-no since it is regarded a as one of Penang’s most famous heritage entities. In 1994, PPSB signed a concession agreement with Penang port Commission to operate the ferry service and Penang Port. (Source: The Edge Financial Daily)
