Safeguard duties for another 3 years

The definitive safeguard duties for bars/rods have been determined at 11-14% on a declining rate over the next 3 years. Although, there is limited dumping risk presently given the improved demand in China, the safeguard duties will protect the local steel industry from any massive import over the next 3 years. We remain positive on AJR given the higher ASPs and improved demand-supply dynamics globally. Maintain EPS forecasts, BUY, TP of MYR3.20 (10x on partially diluted 2017 EPS, mean).

Contributions from 29%-owned MMSB and 30%-owned Inokom are set to double over the next two years with Malaysia earmarked as Mazda’s export hub to the ASEAN region given Mazda Motor Corporation’s global capacity constraints. Taking this and impact of a higher JPY/MYR into account, our FY18/19 earnings forecasts are lifted by 4%/6%. Correspondingly, our new TP is MYR2.05 (+5%), pegged on unchanged 12.5x CY18 EPS (-0.5SD). Maintain HOLD for 5+% yields.

Short-term pain, long-term gain
by Tee Sze Chiah


Technical Research





FBMKLCI sank 5.90pts to 1,738.18 yesterday amid regional sell-down. Broader market took a hit with losers outpaced gainers by 765 to 220. A total of 3.86b shares worth MYR2.58b changed hands. FBMKLI resumed its downward move as selling pressure intensified. The benchmark is likely to retest its immediate support at 1,735 in the near-term. A violation of the aforementioned level could drag the benchmark towards its previous low. We expect FBMKLCI to trade within 1,725 to 1,745 range today.
