KL Sentral to support growth

'''' Following yesterday's briefing, we walked away reassured that the company's fundamentals are still strong underpinned by the maturing KL Sentral development.

'''' VOs as much as RM20m should be recognised by FY12, hence an earnings boost for the construction division. However, the division is expected to post EBIT margins of 3-4% going forward as opposed to 7-9% achieved previously. This is due to the intense bidding for the RM1.4bn LRT Ampang Line Package B project. Overall, outstanding order book remains strong at ~RM2.2bn, translating to 3.3x FY11 construction/environmental revenue.

'''' Lot G offices, Aloft Hotel, QSentral (70% take-up) and Sentral Residences (50% take-up/bookings) will continue to drive the property division's earnings. Overall, unbilled property sales stood at ~RM1.68bn, translating to 3.5x FY11 property revenue.

'''' We estimate that FY12 earnings will be impacted by higher financing charges arising from the EDL highway. Hence, we slash our FY12 forecast, while introducing FY14 earnings estimates. That said, it should not impact our valuations as MRCB is valued based on SOP method.

'''' We maintain our BUY call on MRCB for the unique qualities of KL Sentral to support earnings growth, but with a lower TP of RM2.50.

Performance of IPI (Dec 2011)

'''' IPI growth picked up to 3.0% yoy in Dec (Nov:'' +2.4% yoy), higher than consensus estimate of +1.7%, driven by improvement in electricity and mining segment.

'''' E&E production declined further by 7.4% yoy (Nov: -2.8%) driven by weakness in all product segments, with severe output drop in printed circuit board segment.

'''' Contraction in mining output narrowed to only -0.8% yoy in Dec, reducing its drag on the overall IPI performance.

'''' Maintain our full year 2011 GDP estimate at 5.1%, factoring in 4Q estimate of 5.0%. Also maintain our 2012 GDP growth forecast at 4.5% as we expect resilient domestic demand to cushion the softer industrial sector.

'''' We expect BNM to hold the OPR steady at 3.00% until end-2012 given the resilient economic growth with sticky inflation.

Softening in December Export Growth

'''' Export growth moderated further to 6.1% yoy in Dec (Nov: +8.0% yoy), the slowest since June 2011, while import growth bucked the trend, picking up for the second consecutive month to 10.4% yoy (Nov: +8.4% yoy).''

'''' Trade surplus narrowed to RM8.3bn (Nov: RM9.5bn), as import growth significantly outpaced export expansion.

'''' Contribution of palm oil diminished drastically, with export growth slowing sharply to 8.4% yoy in Dec, a sharp slowdown compared to an average growth of 43.2% during Jan-Oct 2011.

'''' Further pick-up in import growth with intermediate imports rising by 7.7% yoy suggests that manufactured exports could remain stable in the coming months.

'''' We expect January's export growth to show temporary contraction due to festivity and seasonality.

'''' MITI announced its official export growth forecast of 5-6% for 2012. Our export growth projection is slightly lower at 4.5%, which is in line our overall GDP outlook.

'''' Maintain our 2012 GDP growth forecast at 4.5% as we expect resilient domestic demand to cushion the softer industrial sector.

KLCI: Momentum to remain strong to retest 1570-1580 zones''''''

'''' Despite surging 3.9% from YTD low of 1509 (6 Jan) to 1565 yesterday, technical indicators are bullish and overall market momentum (with the rotational plays on bigcaps, 2^nd & lower liners and penny stocks) remains positive to climb higher towards the resistance targets at 1570-1580 territory.

'''' In our view, any profit taking activities are likely to be well-absorbed near supports at 1551 (upper Bollinger band) and 1531 (10-d SMA).''

Dow Jones: Dow ekes out 7 pts gain in a choppy trade''''''

'''' Overall, after surging from Oct 11's low at 10404, investors were cautious after months of continuous gains as the market is approaching an overbought position amid rising RSI.

'''' However, we are encouraged by the continuous improvement in US economic news which show that the country is not as handicapped to what's going on in Europe as in the past.'' In our view, any pullback will attract investors who missed the rally, limiting the decline near supports of 10-d SMA (12695) and 20-d SMA (12582).

Malaysia Airline System: Maintain Hold - 4Q11: Brace for a hard landing

Stock Name: MAS
Company Name: MALAYSIAN AIRLINE SYSTEM BHD

Research House: MAYBANK

Price Call: HOLD

Target Price: 1.55

Yields, fuel and slow motivation. 4Q11 is expected to be severely loss-making due to the impact of a 38% higher fuel price YoY and a weak yield environment. We have been monitoring MAS' fares and notice that it is lower than those of competitors by a wide margin. We maintain our Hold call with a target price of RM1.55, pegged to 6.6x 2012 adjusted EV/EBITDAR - on par with Asia Pacific airline peers.

Above expectations; TP raised. SunREIT's reported 1HFY12 realised net profit of RM95m (+14.3% YoY) was slightly above our expectations but within consensus estimates.

Bursa Malaysia: Maintain Hold - No surprises in 2011 final results

Research House: MAYBANK

Price Call: HOLD

Target Price: 7.00

Maintain Hold. RM146m 2011 net profit (+29% YoY) made up 98% of our and 101% of consensus estimates. We marginally tweak forecasts, expecting a slower 11% growth in 2012 profit with continuous volatility to support equity and derivative trading activities. We lift our sum-of-parts based target price by 7% to RM7.00, pegging Bursa at 20x 2012 PER (18x previously) which is at a 20% discount to our target for SGX SP plus excess cash (94sen/sh). We expect Bursa to retain its 95% net profit payout translating into a 3.8% net yield for 2012.

MRCB - Highlights from analyst briefing

Stock Name: MRCB
Company Name: MALAYSIAN RESOURCES CORP

Research House: HWANGDBS

Price Call: BUY

Target Price: 3.10

Malaysian Resources Corp; Buy; RM2.19
Price Target: RM3.10; MRC MK

4Q11 included provision for variation orders (VOs) for some construction projects amounting to RM20m. MRCB believe there is strong grounds for claim and a potential write back in 2012 is possible. We understand construction margins for FY11 would be 4% excluding VOs instead of the 1.9% reported.

2012 bottomline growth could be impacted by:- i) higher tax rate as it has utilised most of its tax losses; ii) higher minority interest from Lot D and Lot B; and iii) start up losses and higher interest cost for Eastern Dispersal Link (EDL). However, pretax profit growth should still be decent. We are currently looking at RM107m net profit for FY12F (+38% growth) which is below consensus of RM118m. However, we may look to revise our numbers pending more clarity for EDL and when its KPIs are disclosed in March.

EDL may start tolling in May pending cabinet approval. Based on this, the expected budgeted loss is RM30m to RM40m for FY12F but will be profitable in FY13F assuming traffic volume remains consistent at 70,000 to 80,000 vehicles per day. There will also be higher interest cost as MRCB will unlikely be able to capitalise interest cost going forward (RM7.5m per month) as the project has been completed.

MRCB is still exploring launching a REIT but thinks if it happens in 2012 it will be via injecting its properties into an existing REIT. Lot E has achieved 70% tenancy with average rental rates of RM8.50 psf for office and RM5.50psf for retail. Lot 348 will be delayed up to a maximum of 6 months (realistically one month) but potential LADs may be absorbed by budgeted savings of RM38m from the construction.

With construction flows remaining strong, MRCB has targets to bag at least RM1bn worth of new works in FY12F. It will continue to bid for MRT elevated works, LRT extensions, River of Life projects and environmental projects. On the RM1.3bn LRT contract clinched in 2011, RM450m will be done internally while for the balance MRCB has option to either earn a project fee of 1-2% or participate in the tenders.

Margin guidance for civil works is 3-4%. We maintain our Buy rating and SOP-derived TP of RM3.10. Key catalysts include:- i) potential participation in the RRIM due to its strong parentage; ii) more construction wins; iii) approval for Penang Sentral in 2012 and receiving an official approval for another similar type of project in another state.

OSK upgrades CIMB to 'buy'

Stock Name: CIMB
Company Name: CIMB GROUP HOLDINGS BERHAD

Research House: OSK

Price Call: BUY

Target Price: 8.05

OSK Research Sdn Bhd is more optimistic on the outlook of CIMB Group Holdings Bhd although its share price has lagged both the market and its peers over the past months.

In a research note today, OSK said there was scope for CIMB's earnings to beat relatively conservative consensus earnings growth forecast of 4 per cent for financial year 2012.

OSK said CIMB was scheduled to release its fourth quarter 2011 (4Q11) results where earnings were expected to reflect a 8 per cent year-on-year (yoy) growth but a 5 per cent quarter-on-quarter decline owing to an upward normalisation in 4Q11 loan loss provisioning.

"This is a rather commendable performance, taking into account the fact that the 4Q10's non-interest income included the recognition of the lumpy investment banking fee income arising from the Petronas Chemicals' initial public offering.

"On a pre-provision operating line, we expect a high single-digit yoy growth from stronger foreign exchange income flows and stabilisation in the net interest margins," it said.

OSK has upgraded CIMB shares to a 'buy' with a higher fair value of RM8.05 from RM7.62 previously.

Bursa shares rise on bullish ratings

Stock Name: BURSA
Company Name: BURSA MALAYSIA BHD

Research House: CREDIT SUISSE

Price Call: HOLD

Target Price: 7.50

Bursa Malaysia Bhd, the nation's stock and derivatives exchange operator, rose to a six-month high after brokerages including Credit Suisse Group AG raised their share-price estimates to reflect better growth prospects.

The stock gained as much as 2.7 per cent to RM7.72 in Kuala Lumpur trading, the highest intraday level since July 29.

It traded at RM7.60 at 11.51 am local time. Fourth- quarter net income rose 5.2 per cent to RM31.3 million (US$10.3 million), bolstered by higher trading revenue on the derivatives market, it said in a statement yesterday.

"Bursa's earnings are highly leveraged to improving market activity, with January 2012 volumes boding well," Arjan van Veen, an analyst at Credit Suisse, wrote in a report today.

"Bursa has capacity to lift pricing as well as utilize the current excess capital on its balance sheet."

He raised his price estimate to RM7.50 from RM6.94 and kept his "neutral" rating.

The average daily trading volume on the Southeast Asian nation's stock exchange jumped 20 per cent to 1.8 billion shares in the past three months compared with the same period a year earlier, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.

Trading volume surged to 4.4 billion shares at the close on Feb 8, the highest since February 2007. Derivatives trading also surged, led by palm oil futures.

CIMB Group Holdings Bhd increased its price estimate for Bursa to RM7.65 from RM7.18, while Kenanga Investment Bank Bhd raised its target price to RM8 from RM7.40, they said in separate reports today.

Chan Ken Yew, an analyst at Kenanga, increased his 2012 earnings estimates by 5.3 per cent and 13 per cent for 2013.

The stock exchange operator's 2012 profit may be similar to last year's "if not better," Bursa Chief Executive Officer Tajuddin Atan told reporters in Kuala Lumpur yesterday.

The bourse is open to strategic alliances to boost market access and improve efficiency, he said, without giving details.

Shares of Bursa have gained 13 per cent this year, outpacing a 2.1 per cent increase in the benchmark FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI Index. - Bloomberg

WCT - Bags RM300m MITI contract

FY11 lifted by KL Sentral developments

'''' Reported FY11 earnings grew by 15% to RM77.5m (5.59 sen/share). However, after adjusting for EI of RM5.29m, core earnings came in at RM77.2m (5.21 sen/share), missing our estimates slightly by 6% but off consensus' mark by 16%. Nonetheless, FY11's core earnings growth was still decent at 7%, lifted by strong performance in the property division.

'''' 4Q marks the second consecutive quarterly EBIT losses for the construction division. We understand that the losses occurred due VOs which is pending approval. Hence, once the VOs are approved, there should be lumpy earnings recognition for the division going forward. We are not overly concerned as it is a timing issue in profit recognition. On the other hand, the property division saw tremendous growth, underpinned by the maturing KL Sentral developments.

'''' Forecasts under review pending analyst briefing. Maintain BUY call with TP of RM2.64 based on SOP valuation.

JCY International (HOLD)

1QFY12 Results

'''' 1QFY12 core net profit of RM164.9m exceeded our expectations, accounting for 42% of our full-year forecast and 71.6% of street's estimates.

'''' JCY registered a revenue of RM599 (+27.4% yoy, +27.1% qoq), EBITDA of RM190.6m (+434.7% yoy, +362.7% qoq), PAT of RM162.5m (+2,063% yoy, +514.4% qoq)

'''' JCY's performance was 8.3% better than profit guidance issued in January, attributable to increase in orders, higher ASP, effective product mix, favorable exchange rate and continuous cost management.

'''' JCY managed to capture 25% of HDD component market after the Thai flood as it saw orders from Seagate almost doubled. As a result, JCY achieve better economy of scale and scope (product mix) while achieving above 80% utilization rate.

'''' The firm acknowledged the challenges in acquiring talent and human resources and may be a bane to its growth.

'''' We have revised our profit forecast marginally after revising our cost models. As a result, FY12 and FY13 EPS are revised by +12.3% and -3.2% respectively.

'''' Following the revision in earnings forecasts, target price has been raised to RM1.33 from RM1.26

KLCI: To retest 1570 zones after the 1550 breakout

'''' Renewed buying interest on index-linked stocks after recent consolidation and persistent active retail participation on lower liners, ACE and penny stocks are expected to sustain KLCI rally in the short term, in anticipation of positive progress on Greece debt talk, acceleration in ETP projects rollout, continuous funds inflows and stronger global manufacturing data.

'''' Immediate supports are 1542 (upper Bollinger band) and 1530 (31 Dec 11) whilst resistances are the upper channel near 1570-1580 zones.

AMMB: To retest 200-d SMA

'''' ''Currently, the momentum and trend indicators are on the mend and AMMB is consolidating upwards along the uptrend line formed since Sep 11 low. Following the triangle breakout, AMMB could test higher ground over the next few sessions with immediate resistance at RM6.15 (200-d SMA).

'''' A more bullish outlook would only appear if share price manages to close consistently above the 200-d SMA. The next upside targets are RM6.23 (50% FR) and RM6.46 (38.2% FR).

'''' ''Immediate supports are RM5.86 (100-d SMA), RM5.82 (mid Bollinger band) and RM5.71 (lower Bollinger band). Cut loss below RM5.71.''

Almost there for the SBK MRT line.
Press reports that MMC-Gamuda JV has finalised the details of its PDP job scope and fee, as well as being the lowest bidder for the SBK MRT tunnelling works are positive news that we have anticipated since we lifted Gamuda as one of our top buys for 2012. Share price has outperformed with a 15% gain YTD. We maintain our RM4.10 RNAV-based TP which has incorporated a 50sen contribution from the MRT for now, pending finalisation of details.

MRCB a 'buy', say research houses

Stock Name: MRCB
Company Name: MALAYSIAN RESOURCES CORP

Research House: MIDF

Price Call: BUY

Target Price: 2.41

Price Call: BUY

Target Price: 3.70

According to the media, the MMC-Gamuda JV has finalised the details with MRT Co on the scope of work and fees for its role as the Project Delivery Partner (PDP) for the MRT project. The fees are expected to be a lucrative 6% of the total project cost excluding tunneling (c. RM8bn excluding land cost) and 5% reimbursement for costs incurred so far for approvals, technical designs and Environmental Impact Analysis (EIA). This will be progressively recognised over the duration of the project until mid-2017.

The total PDP fees works out to be RM480m assuming a project cost of RM8bn and 6% fees but will be RM900m if including the tunneling portion (c. RM7bn). This works out to be RM0.12/share for Gamuda and RM0.08/share for MMC. This has yet to be factored into our SOP but we have taken some assumptions in terms of the civil works for the MRT. Recall, the MMC-Gamuda JV is also bidding for the tunneling portion.

Hence, in the unlikely event it is not awarded the project it is able to reap PDP fees for the entire project cost (c. RM15bn). The scope of works for the PDP include acting as a turnkey contractor where it will be responsible for the engineering designs and technical specifications. It also has to deliver the MRT project within the cost and time frame and be responsible for all other contractors in terms of quality, safety and timeliness.

We continue to like MMC-Gamuda's chances for the tunneling works given i) tunneling experience dating back to 2001 with 4 projects currently; ii) government's interest to keep project domestic driven given strong multiplier effect on the economy; iii) the project will be awarded via a Swiss Challenge; and iv) MRT is funded by the government and hence foreign contractors may not have an advantage in terms of the funding card.

The award is expected in April 2012. We maintain our Buy ratings on Gamuda (TP RM4.50) and MMC Corp (TP RM3.70).

Construction (OVERWEIGHT)

Relook into Gamuda and MRCB's valuation

'''' YTD, KLCON Index is up +9.8% vis-''-vis the KLCI's +0.5%. We believe that the strong outperformance is due to improved newsflow for the sector and return of risk appetite from investors.

'''' Gamuda and MRCB have seen their existing TP of RM3.81 and RM2.22 breached respectively. Hence, this report relooks into both companies' valuation as to where it may potentially touch if things materialise as planned.

'''' We upgrade Gamuda's TP by 16% to RM4.41 from RM3.81 and MRCB's TP by 19% to RM2.64 from RM2.22 to take advantage of the current buoyant sentiment in the construction sector, which tends to result in share prices overshooting. However, we caution that our newly assigned TP will be revised downwards if things do not pan out as planned.

'''' We MAINTAIN our OVERWEIGHT stance on the sector as we believe that more ETP projects should materialise this year to mitigate slowing economic growth.

Destination Resort Bill Stalled

'' According to Reuters, the legislation that would allow three new resort-style casinos in Florida has been withdrawn before a House subcommittee could hold their vote. The bill has failed to pass at least one committee; hence the measure is dead for 2012.

'' This has turned out to be a disappointment for GenM. However, GenM's RWM remains positive with its mission to build a destination resort in Florida and will continue to work with the legislature and community to bring this mission into reality.

'' If the legislation is not approved, GenM will still continue with the US$3.8bn development, spreading it across 10-15 years. With this, GenM will incure approximately US$253-380m additional capex p.a., which should not be an issue given its net cash of RM2.2-4.8bn and free cash flow of RM0.8-1.8bn in FY11-13.

RCECAP: More technical rebound ahead

'''' Technically, RCECAP short to medium term outlooks are positive as daily, weekly and monthly charts (FIG#3, 4 & 5) are strengthening. The strong breakout of the neckline resistance near RM0.52 will spur greater upside towards RM0.55-0.58 targets. Post RM0.58, more formidable resistance is RM0.62 (76.4% FR).
