Better quarters ahead

Stripping out a MYR7m unrealized forex loss from OMS, 1Q17 core earnings of MYR30m met 13% of our FY17 forecast. We lower our FY17-19 earnings forecasts by 4%-5% factoring in the slower-than-expected progress of the Pan Borneo Sarawak Highway construction and lower contribution from the road maintenance division. Our revised SOP-based TP is MYR4.50 (-4%). CMS is now a HOLD due to a smaller upside potential to our 12M target with much of the improving outlook priced in for now.

1Q17: In line

1Q17 results were in line. We believe management’s focus on cost efficiencies, coupled with robust sales in Singapore, should help support earnings growth in the near term. Moving forward, a narrower loss at the associate level could provide a further boost to CAB’s earnings. Our earnings forecasts, HOLD call and DCF-TP are unchanged.

Earnings on track

UEMS’ 1Q17 net profit of MYR61.3m (+>100% YoY) was in line but property sales fell short at MYR169m (just 14% of its 2017 sales target of MYR1.2b) due to the lack of new launches in 1Q17. Sales should however pick up in the 2H with MYR1.7b of new pipeline launches. We maintain our earnings forecasts and MYR1.11 TP on an unchanged 60% discount to MYR2.85 RNAV/shr. Reiterate HOLD.

Buys prime land in KL

We are positive on MSGB’s latest land acquisition in Titiwangsa for its fair pricing and strategic location. The land, which will be developed under the transit-oriented development (TOD) concept, has an estimated GDV of MYR650m. We lower earnings forecasts by -2% to -8% to factor in the land purchase and recently-issued unrated senior perpetual securities. Our RNAV-TP is marginally raised to MYR1.45 (+1sen, 0.6x P/RNAV). Maintain HOLD.

Outside Malaysia:

U.K: Britons’ falling real wages show challenging times have arrived. U.K. workers saw their real earnings fall for the first time in 2 1/2 years, data from the Office for National Statistics showed. That’s particularly problematic for a nation that has relied on buoyant consumers to keep spending, not least as it enters negotiations to leave the world’s largest trading bloc. Real earnings are still below their level before the 2008 financial crisis, and their recovery over the past two years is now going into reverse as the weak pound pushes up prices. Regular pay adjusted for inflation fell 0.2%, the ONS said. Nominal earnings slowed to growth of 2.1%, an eight-month low. The unemployment rate fell to 4.6%, the lowest since 1975. At the same time, inflation is heading toward 3% this year, squeezing consumer spending. (Source: Bloomberg)

Japan: Economy extends run of gains as exports support growth. Japan’s economy expanded for a fifth straight quarter, the longest run of gains in a decade, supported by continued strength in exports. Gross domestic product increased by an annualized 2.2% in the three months ended March 31 (estimate +1.7%), accelerating from a revised 1.4% in the previous quarter. Private consumption gained 0.4% in the first quarter from the previous three months (estimate +0.5%).Business spending rose 0.2% (estimate -0.4%) Net exports, or shipments less imports, added 0.1 percentage point to GDP.

India: RBI targets rupee forwards as cash hinders spot intervention. The central bank is increasingly turning to the forwards market for currency intervention, as a banking system already flooded with cash limits its ability to act in the spot market. The Reserve Bank of India bought USD 8b of foreign currency in the forwards market in March, latest official data released showed, as the rupee capped its best first-quarter performance in four decades.

Anzo: Turns around in 4Q after 16 consecutive quarter s of losses. Anzo has reported profit after 16 consecutive loss-making financial quarters. Anzo reported a net profit of MYR1.27m or 0.42 sen per share for 4QFY17, versus a net loss of MYR3.84m or 1.35 sen per share a year ago. The improvement was mainly due to construction billings from its Porto De Melaka project, amounting to MYR5.7m; reversal on provision for doubtful debts of MYR1.3m; and no further inventory write down in the current quarter. For the whole FY17, however, Anzo still reported a net loss of MYR4.63m, which was 57.37% narrower than its MYR10.85m of net loss back in FY16. (Source: The Edge Financial Daily)
