Analaysts maintain 'neutral' on auto sector

Stock Name: TCHONG
Company Name: TAN CHONG MOTOR HOLDINGS BHD
Research House: RHBPrice Call: HOLDTarget Price: 7.50

Stock Name: DRBHCOM
Company Name: DRB-HICOM BHD
Research House: RHBPrice Call: HOLDTarget Price: 3.30



Kenanga Research has maintained a 'neutral' call on the automotive industry and retains its 2013 Total Industry
Volume's (TIV) forecast of 641,560 units.

The research house said April's total vehicle sales month-on-month slid by nine per cent due to consumers' wait-and-see approach in the uncertainty surrounding the recent general election.

However, year-on-year total vehicle sales charted a year-on-year growth of 10 per cent to 52,489 units with sales of passenger vehicles increasing by 10 per cent to 45,564 units while commercial vehicles posted increased sales of nine per cent to 6,925 units.

"We look forward to the unveiling of the revised National Automotive Policy which will focus on positioning the country as a regional hub for hybrid vehicles and energy-efficient vehicles.

"The new policy would also look into gradually eliminating structural issues such as high duties, high selling prices, non-tariff barriers, fuel subsidies and other political considerations," it said in a research note today.

Meanwhile, RHB Research in its note said the expected sales decline in April was not as severe as expected.

"With the general elections out of the way and expectations for continuity and stability of policies affecting the automotive industry, we expect auto sales to normalise in the months ahead as buyers return to the market helped by low interest rates and an attractive pipeline of new models," it added.

The research house said following the Barisan Nasional's victory in the general elections, it expects consumer expectations for a significant reduction in car prices to gradually moderate.

RHB Research remains neutral on the automotive industry and favours shares of companies like Tan Chong Motor Holdings Bhd with a target price of RM7.50 and DRB-HICOM Bhd with a target price of RM3.30.

On the other hand, HLIB Research has maintained an "overweight" call for the industry and favours shares like DRB-HICOM Bhd with a target price of RM3.36.

The research house said the slowdown in the Malaysian economy, global automotive supply chain disruption and sudden jump in fuel prices and interest rate will post a risk to the industry.-- Bernama

  • Auto sales for Mar of 53,583 units were 21.7% higher mom (-15.3% yoy) that marks the second consecutive mom gain. TIV for 1Q12 reached 138,544 units, down 12.5% yoy and 7.6% qoq.
  • The MAA attributed the improved sales to positive consumer sentiment, the introduction of new models and a longer working month and expects the sales trend for Apr to be similar.
  • Combined with the lingering effects of the stricter financing guidelines, nearly all marques continue to show yoy sales contraction with the exception of Toyota .

Tan Chong ' A Better 2H12

Tan Chong ' A Better 2H12                                                                                           Market Perform
Visit Note
-          Tan Chong will likely report relatively weak 1Q earnings after MAA data for the first two months of 2012 showed combined Nissan and Renault sales down 16.7% yoy, attributed to a combination of component supply constraints and the newly-introduced responsible lending guidelines.
-          We reiterate our Market Perform call on Tan Chong and lift our fair value to RM4.60 (from RM4.20), derived from applying a 13x (from 10x) target PER to revised 2012 earnings.

Tan Chong Motor Holdings - Nuggets of info from lunch meeting

Stock Name: TCHONG
Company Name: TAN CHONG MOTOR HOLDINGS BHD
Research House: CIMBPrice Call: HOLDTarget Price: 4.75




Target RM4.75

The key takeaways from our lunch meeting with Tan Chong's management were 1) 1Q12 results could be weak, 2) assembly operations in Segambut could be halted as early as 2017, and 3) Tan Chong aims to triple vehicle sales during 2012-16. We retain our earnings estimates but raise our SOP-based target price for a higher target P/E of 9.4x (prev. 9.1x), still pegged to a 30% discount to our KLCI target P/E which has been raised to 13x from 12.6x. Maintain Neutral. We like DRB-Hicom for exposure to the auto sector.

Tan Chong Motor: Upgrade to Buy - Time to rev up

Stock Name: TCHONG
Company Name: TAN CHONG MOTOR HOLDINGS BHD
Research House: MAYBANKPrice Call: BUYTarget Price: 5.38



Upgrade to Buy with a higher TP of RM5.38, ahead of an anticipated sector recovery in 2H 2012. This follows a 17-18% rise in 2012-13 net profit forecasts, on higher vehicle sales assumptions (+9-21%). We reckon the disruption to the regional parts supply chain, margin weakness and poor Jan-Mar 2012 performance have all been priced in. Our TP (+35%), premised on 10x 2013 PER (previously 8x), offers 20% upside. Our re-rated PER target reflects improved optimism ahead.

-          The auto industry made a shaky start to 2012 with total industry volume (TIV) in Jan declining 14.7% and 25.2% mom and yoy respectively. The softer sales were attributed to seasonal factors given the earlier than usual Lunar New Year holidays, the more stringent financing guidelines implemented by Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) and the lingering effects of component supply disruption arising from the floods in Thailand .
