Sunway: SunCity in MYR2b project opposite Sunway Velocity. Its wholly-owned subsidiary Sunway City S/B (SunCity) has entered into a joint venture (JV) agreement to develop 8.45 acres of leasehold land at Jalan Peel, Cheras, Kuala Lumpur. The property developer has proposed to build a mixed development comprising serviced apartments, retail shops and offices on the land, which is located opposite Sunway Velocity. The project’s estimated gross development value (GDV) is MYR2b and will be developed over 10 years. The targeted launch of the project is in the first half of 2018. (Source: The Sun Daily)

Dividend surprise

While 4Q16 core net profit rebounded strongly, it was still below our expectation. We lower our 2017-18 EPS forecasts by 7%/4% on lower petroleum tanker rates and introduce our 2019 forecasts. MISC surprised with a high dividend payout which indicates a DY of 3.9% in 2016. Given its low net gearing of 16% and the long-term nature of its chartering business, we think the high dividend payout could be sustained. Maintain our HOLD call and SOP-based TP of MYR7.60.

Transitional year

Strong 4Q16 net profit was within expectations. Share price is down 4% YTD on uncertainties following CMA CGM’s plan to move 1m TEUs out of Westports in 2017 and that surrounding UASC. That said, volume growth in 1H17 could still be strong given the ad-hoc activities by the two new shipping alliances. We maintain our 2017-18 EPS forecasts and introduce 2019 forecast; also, our DCF-derived TP of MYR4.40 (WACC: 6.7%; 2025-54 growth rate: 2%) and HOLD call.

SECTOR RESEARCH






January 2017 stockpile on seasonal decline
by Chee Ting Ong


Sector Note





MPOB’s Jan 2017 stockpile was the lowest January levels in 6 years which will continue to be supportive of 1Q17 CPO prices at around MYR3,000/t. While our 12M fundamental view for the sector remains a NEUTRAL, we advocate a trade in 1Q17 as the release of upcoming 4Q16 results, likely to be strong, will lift overall investment sentiment. We prefer Indonesia planters over Malaysia given their cheaper valuations and faster yield recovery. Our BUYs are BPLANT, SOP, BAL, AALI, LSIP, TBLA.

Further pick up in growth
by Suhaimi Ilias


Economics Research





In 4Q 2016, industrial production growth quickened (4Q 2016 to +5.0% YoY; 3Q 2016: +3.9% YoY), index of services slowed (4Q 2016: +5.9% YoY; 3Q 2016: +6.2% YoY), the drop in palm oil output eased pointing to smaller contraction in agriculture sector, while growth in the value of construction works moderated. Based on these supply-side indicators, we estimated 4Q 2016 real GDP growth was +4.7% YoY (3Q 2016: +4.3% YoY).












PUNCHING THROUGH 1,700?
by Tee Sze Chiah


Technical Research





FBMKLCI rose 10.44pts last Friday but fell short of the 1,700 psychological levels. Buoyant mood in blue chip stocks were shared across the board after 542 stocks closed in positive territory versus 338 stocks which closed in the red. Total trading volume was at 2.69b, valued at MYR2.40b. Even though we maintain our positive outlook on the benchmark index, there is a tendency for traders to lock in recent gains as the index is now lingering near 1,700. For today, we expect...

Outside Malaysia:

U.S: America’s biggest creditors dump treasuries in warning to Trump. In the age of Trump, America’s biggest foreign creditors are suddenly having second thoughts about financing the U.S. government. In Japan, the largest holder of Treasuries, investors culled their stakes in December by the most in almost four years, the Ministry of Finance’s most recent figures show. Across the world, foreigners are pulling back from U.S. debt like never before. From Tokyo to Beijing and London, the consensus is clear: few overseas investors want to step into the USD 13.9t U.S. Treasury market right now. Foreigners currently still hold USD 5.94t, or roughly 43% of the U.S. government debt market, down from 56% in 2008. Homegrown demand has of late been able to absorb the pickup in overseas selling. Since reaching 2.64% in mid-December, yields on benchmark 10-year notes have come back and are essentially flat this year. (Source: Bloomberg)

Japan: Economy continued on a moderate growth path during the final quarter of 2016, driven by rising exports and business investment. GDP expanded 1% on an annualized basis in the three months through December from the previous quarter, according to data released by the Cabinet Office. Measured quarter on quarter, GDP rose 0.2%. Private consumption was unchanged, business spending rose 0.9% and net exports, or shipments less imports, added 0.2 percentage point to GDP. Japan’s economy has now expanded for a fourth consecutive quarter for the first time in more than three years. (Source: Bloomberg)
