Great start to 2017

Although we lifted our estimates recently, 1Q17 core net profit still outperformed our expectation. Trade receivables impairments in 1Q17 was a record low and we gather that they may trend even lower going forward. On another note, we lift our core net profit estimates by 4-14% as GENS will redeem its SGD2.3b perpetual bonds in Sep/Oct 2017. Our SGD1.25 TP based on 12x FY17E EV/EBITDA, its eight-year mean, is unchanged as our EBITDA estimates were not lifted.

Decision on tribal casino by 19 Jun 2017

The U.S. Department of Interior (DOI) will effectively decide if construction of the First Light Resort & Casino (FLRC) can proceed by 19 Jun 2017. If the outcome is unfavourable, our SOP-based TP may be trimmed by MYR0.20/sh. If the outcome is favourable, our SOP-TP may get a MYR0.14/sh lift. For now, our FY17/FY18/FY19 earnings estimates are little changed at -3%/+1%/+1% and our SOP-based TP is tweaked +2% to MYR5.40 on housekeeping changes only.

Thai’s RE Phase 2 expansion underway

KNM has successfully commissioned the Phase 1 operations of its 200,000LPD bio-ethanol plant in Thailand and will expand its capacity by another 150% (Phase 2) by 3Q19. This is a positive, as KNM progressively transforms itself into a renewable energy (RE) play. Our TP is unchanged, based on 0.4x EV/MYR1.3b backlog peg, offering a 107% upside.

Unlocking value in CITN

STAR is disposing its 53% stake in CITN for MYR360m cash. We are confident in STAR’s capability to sustain annual DPS at 15sen despite >100% DPR. Our earnings estimate are trimmed by 5%-7% as we deconsolidate CITN’s earnings but tempered by higher interest income. As the disposal price of SGD0.90/CITN shr is slightly lower than our previously ascribed share price of SGD0.92/ CITN shr, we keep our MYR2.20 SOP-TP. Maintain HOLD with total negative return of 6% including our 15sen FY17 DPS estimate
