Buys land in Kajang and Subang

We are positive on Sunway’s latest land purchases in Kajang and Subang for their strategic locations. While the 4 parcels of industrial land in Subang will only be developed in the later years, the Kajang project should start contributing to earnings from 2019 onwards. The two land purchases could potentially enhance our RNAV by +4sen (+2sen to TP). We maintain our earnings forecasts, MYR4.03 RNAV-TP and HOLD rating.

SECTOR RESEARCH






An uptick in June loan growth
by Desmond Ch'ng


Sector Note





The pick-up in non-HH loan growth is encouraging, and we look forward to ongoing expansion in this segment if our industry loan growth estimate of 5.4% for 2017 is to be achieved, against annualized loan growth of 3.5% todate. We maintain our NEUTRAL call on the sector and our BUY pick is BIMB for its above-industry loan growth and twin earnings growth support from both the Islamic Bank and Syarikat Takaful.

Flows & Lookouts
by Chew Hann Wong


Strategy Research





Foreign investors continued to be net buyers of Malaysia equities in Jul 2017, but at a tapered pace of MYR0.4b. This lifts foreign net buy for Jan-Jul 2017 to MYR11.2b. Cumulative foreign net buy since early-2010, a figure which we track closely, has climbed to MYR15.3b end-Jul 2017 (high was MYR49.4b end-May 2013). Malaysia equities continue to receive the most of foreign net buy in the region in 2017 YTD. Foreign holdings at end-Jul 2017 should be marginally higher than end-Jun 2017’s 23.0.












KL Finance Index – Risk Escalating

Technical Research





FBMKLCI rose 5.10pts to 1,765.13 yesterday amid bargain hunting activities. Broader market, however, remained negative with losers outpacing gainers by 542 to 297. A total of 1.82b shares worth MYR2.24b changed hands. Sentiment could improve today following the stellar performance in overnight US markets but trading could be choppy as oil prices eased. Technically, we expect FBMKLCI to resume its upward trajectory, with the benchmark trading between 1,750 and 1,775 in the near-term.
