Share Price:

Target Price:

Recommendation:
Hold




An all rounder

We are neutral on Sunway’s proposed bonus issue of new shares which would improve share affordability and free warrants which would allow Sunway to expand using proceeds from the warrants exercise. But, we are positive on Sunway’s long-term plans for its healthcare unit which could lead to the latter’s eventual listing. We maintain our earnings forecasts but raise RNAV-TP by 58sen (+17%) to MYR4.03 on revised 0.7x P/RNAV peg (from 0.6x P/RNAV). Maintain HOLD.

Lower rubber price playing out

Upcoming 3QFY8/17 results could be softer QoQ on weaker USD/MYR, higher raw material prices and lower sales volume, but still within our expectation as we expect stronger sequential 4QFY17 earnings given the sharp fall in raw material prices. We maintain our EPS forecasts but downgrade the stock to HOLD (from BUY) due to narrowed upside to our unchanged TP of MYR6.20 (20x 2018 PER, +1SD to mean).

4QFY17: A decent quarter; U/G to BUY

4QFY4/17 results and 4th net DPS of 1.0sen (FY17: 3.5sen) were in line as core earnings YoY growth was mainly attributed to contributions from new BStarbucks outlets. We tweak FY18-19E earnings forecasts by <3% but maintain our TP of MYR1.70, pegged to an unchanged 27x FY18 PER. Upgrade to BUY as we believe near-term earnings could stabilise. BFood currently offers potential capital upside of 11%.

Humdrum 1QFY1/18

1QFY18 earnings and dividends were within our expectations. That said, we believe that Pay-TV subscribership may have eased again after a brief respite in 4QFY17. To be fair, ASTRO gathers that ARPU and adex will grow YoY going forward. Coupled with less content cost YoY in 2QFY18 and 3QFY18, we opine that FY18 earnings still ought to be higher YoY. We trim our FY18/FY19/FY20 earnings estimates by 2%/2%/1% but tweak SOP-TP up by 5sen to MYR2.60 on minor housekeeping changes.

2QFY17: Tracking expectations

2QFY10/17 results were in line. Store openings remain on track with an addition of 31 stores in 6MFY17. Our earnings forecasts and TP of MYR2.45 are unchanged as we continue to peg the stock to 26x CY18 earnings. Following its share price gain of 40% YTD, we believe that the stock is fairly valued for now. We now rate Bison a HOLD.

Technical Research





FBMKLCI rose 7.91pts to close at 1,792.35 yesterday, led by gains in key blue chips like GENT, GENM and CIMB. Market sentiment has improved with gainers outpacing losers by 483 to 381. Market turnover, however, declined to 1.95b shares worth MYR2.49b. Taking cue from mixed US market and weaker oil price, expect local bourses to be choppy today. Technically, the benchmark could extend its upward momentum and test the 1,800 psychological level soon.

Outside Malaysia:

U.S: Fed forges on with hike, asset plan amid inflation concern. Federal Reserve officials forged ahead with an interest-rate increase and additional plans to tighten monetary policy despite growing concerns over weak inflation. Policy makers agreed to raise their benchmark lending rate for the third time in six months, maintained their outlook for one more hike in 2017 and set out some details for how they intend to shrink their USD 4.5tr balance sheet this year. In a press conference after the decision was announced, Fed Chair Janet Yellen said the unwinding plan could be put into effect “relatively soon” if the economy evolves as the central bank expects. “Near-term risks to the economic outlook appear roughly balanced, but the committee is monitoring inflation developments closely,” the Federal Open Market Committee said in a statement. “The committee currently expects to begin implementing a balance sheet normalization program this year, provided that the economy evolves broadly as anticipated.” (Source: Bloomberg)

U.K: Squeeze tightens as wages grow at slowest pace in two years. The squeeze on U.K. households intensified in the three months through April as wage growth lagged further behind inflation. Average earnings rose 1.7%, the slowest annual pace for more than two years, the Office for National Statistics said. But they fell 0.6% after inflation is taken into account, the largest drop since August 2014. In April alone, they fell 0.7%. (Source: Bloomberg)

Crude Oil: Holds losses on surprise U.S. gasoline supply gain. Motor fuel stockpiles expanded by 2.1 million barrels last week, the Energy Information Administration reported. Most analysts surveyed by Bloomberg had forecast a decline. Crude output rose while nationwide inventories fell less than predicted. Oil has declined almost 8% this month amid speculation increasing U.S. supplies will offset production curbs by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and its allies including Russia. New supplies from OPEC rivals will be more than enough to meet demand growth next year, the International Energy Agency said in its first forecast for 2018. Brent for August settlement slid to USD 47/bbl. (Source: Bloomberg)

Bumi Armada: Inked JV to secure FPSO project in Ghana. The offshore oilfield services provider has inked a JV with two parties, Shapoorji Pallonji and Co Pvt Ltd (SPCL) and Cypress Energy Company Limited (CECL), to secure the award of a floating, production, storage and offloading (FPSO) project in Ghana. The JV company, which is known as Bumi Armada Shapoorji Pallonji Ghana Ltd (BASPG) was established on June 5 between Bumi Armada’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Bumi Armada Marine Holdings Ltd (BAMHL), SPCL’s wholly-owned subsidiary Shapoorji Pallonji Oil and Gas Pvt Ltd (SPOG), and CECL, Bumi Armada said in a filing with Bursa Malaysia yesterday. The JV will see BAMHL, SPOG and CECL combining their capabilities and expertise, with each party holding 45%, 45% and 10% stakes respectively. (Source: The Edge Markets)

JAG: Sees 30% revenue growth for FY17. The company expects revenue to grow by up to 30% this year from a year earlier on more electronic-waste (e-waste) management contracts. Chairperson and executive director Datin Stacey Tan told reporters that JAG had secured 40% more e-waste contracts, and that management hopes to register at least MYR100m in revenue for financial year ending Dec 31, 2017 (FY17). Tan said JAG, which recently made its foray into property development, expects to equalise the company's e-waste and property development income contribution. She said the group aims to launch up to three projects within five years and expand its landbank. (Source: The Edge Markets)

Stone Master: Feud far from over. The Kuala Lumpur High Court has ruled in favour of marble and granite products maker Stone Master Corp Bhd's major shareholders, indicating that the EGM held on May 30 was valid. The latest ruling, however, sees the immediate removal of Stone Master's managing director Datuk Koh Mui Tee and executive director Datuk Lee Hwa Cheng from the company's board of directors and the company. At the same time, it sees the appointment of eight new directors, namely Ma Jee Choong, Datuk Abdul Aziz Mohamed, Low Eng Tack, Ng Boon Siong, Tan Wee Hock, Ananda Kumar Ramayah, Foo Chooi Wai and Leong Kam Soon. The court this morning set aside an ex-parte injunction order that had been granted to Koh on June 2 that prevented the implementation of the resolutions passed at Stone Master's recent EGM.
