Weak car sales in 1Q17

TCM’s 1Q17 may not be the best quarter to gauge the expected improvement in its 2017 operations due to a slump in 1Q17 Nissan car sales, affected by changes in TCM’s marketing strategies. The expected fall in 1Q17 revenue could be mitigated at the operating level should there be more positive adjustments to component costs by Nissan Motor. Nonetheless, we remain BUYers of TCM from a trough valuation angle; currently trading at 0.4x P/NTA. Our MYR2.20 TP, based on 0.5x 2017 P/NTA, is unchanged.

NEWS


Outside Malaysia:

E.U: Euro-area factories expanded output at the fastest pace since 2011 as the currency bloc’s economy continued to gather momentum. A gauge of manufacturing activity rose to 56.7 in April from 56.2 the previous month, IHS Markit reported. An April 21 preliminary estimate was for an increase to 56.8. (Source: Bloomberg)

U.K: Manufacturing unexpectedly grew at the fastest pace in three years in April as the domestic market strengthened and the pound’s depreciation boosted exports. A measure of factory conditions rose to 57.3 from 54.2 in March, according to IHS Markit’s Purchasing Managers’ Index. Growth in new orders and exports also gathered pace. (Source: Bloomberg)

Indonesia: Turns to other tools as inflation curbs policy room. Indonesia’s move last week to ease reserve limits on lenders may spur credit growth at a time when Federal Reserve rate increases and faster inflation makes it difficult for policy makers to cut interest rates. Consumer prices rose at the fastest pace in more than a year in April, gaining 4.17% YoY, according to data released. That compares with the central bank’s target range of 3% to 5%. While inflation pressures have reduced scope to lower the benchmark interest rate from 4.75%, Bank Indonesia has eased the daily minimum primary reserve requirement ratio for lenders starting in July, partly to free up cash in the capital market. (Source: Bloomberg)

Australia: Kept interest rates unchanged as faster inflation and signals of looming fiscal stimulus combine with an upswing in global growth. “Above-trend growth is expected in a number of advanced economies,” Reserve Bank of Australia Governor Philip Lowe said. “The improvement in the global economy has contributed to higher commodity prices, which are providing a significant boost to Australia’s national income.” The central bank also left the cash rate at a record-low 1.5% to allow regulatory rules targeting riskier property loans to take effect amid hot housing markets in Sydney and Melbourne.

Crude Oil: OPEC deepens oil production cuts as laggards improve compliance. The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries deepened production cuts in April with laggards improving compliance with its historic deal to limit output. Overall, output fell by 40,000 barrels a day from a month earlier to 31.895 million barrels, according to a Bloomberg News survey of analysts, oil companies and ship-tracking data. Iraq, the second-biggest producer in the group, and Venezuela came closer to their targets. OPEC began production cuts on Jan. 1 in a bid to reduce swollen global inventories and bolster the price of oil, which is still stuck at half its 2014 level. Total output – including Libya and Nigeria -- remains 135,000 barrels a day above target, putting the group about 90 percent of the way toward its goal. (Source: Bloomberg)
