AirAsia Bhd - Why the poor 1H will reverse

AirAsia did poorly in 1H14 due to excessive new aircraft deliveries and the delayed fleet sale plan, but it is taking action and the surplus fleet will reduce during 2H14, potentially leading to better results. Likely capacity cuts at MAS may also help restore sanity to industry yields. We think AirAsia’s earnings recovery will pick up speed in 4Q14 and may be a key re-rating catalyst. As such, we maintain Add and our target price of RM2.88, based on a 20% premium over its liquidation value. Our EPS forecasts are largely unchanged.

Utilities - overall - Powering the future

We believe that the power sector reforms that were rolled out three years ago may be on hold, at least temporarily, due to strong public pressure. This is evidenced by the non-revision of electricity tariffs in Jul, which was expected under the fuel-cost pass-through (FCPT) mechanism. However, we keep our Overweight stance on the sector, as we think the other sub-sector, gas, will see more stable earnings. We now prefer PetGas for its clearer earnings visibility, in the wake of its new agreement. Furthermore, the recent sell-down of the stock has resulted in very attractive valuations.

MY E.G. Services - CSTM to lead the way

At 95% of our full-year forecast, MyEG’s FY06/14 net profit was below our expectations, mainly due to the delay in the nationwide launch of vehicle transfer online services (VVTS). We raise our FY16 EPS forecast and introduce FY17 EPS to reflect the higher custom service tax monitoring (CSTM) and VVTS earnings. We have also raised our target price, still based on 21x CY15 P/E, in line with its peer average. The stock remains an Add, with the final government approval for the CSTM project and further developments on the road diagnostic system project as potential re-rating catalysts.

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said today he is happy with the quality and range of ideas offered by the people through the #Bajet2015 micro website up to the last day of participation today. "Your ideas, concerns and needs are always accorded priority in our efforts to draft an inclusive, balanced and responsible national budget," he said in his blog, www.1malaysia.com.

The Budget 2015 campaign which began on Aug 11 was aimed at inviting the people to share their opinions and ideas through online discussion at the micro website.

Najib said the good response to the campaign, now into its sixth year, demonstrated that the government was always open to inviting the people's participation in the efforts to strengthen the economy and raise their living standard in keeping with his administration's emphasis that the era where the government knew best was over.

He reminded, however, that this scenario did not mean that the country would not meet obstacles along the way, but said that by working together Malaysians could achieve their targets and enable every individual to share in the gains derived from that success.

"If we remain united, we can achieve our shared dream," he said. Najib expressed confidence that with the proposals he had received, Budget 2015 would stimulate growth, improve the country's fiscal position and raise the living standard of the people.

The prime minister is expected to table Budget 2015 in parliament on Oct 10. (Bernama)

Ismail said for the time being, the farm produce is meant for domestic market while plans are afoot to build another collection and distribution centre in Muar, Johor. (Bernama)

The Retirement Fund Inc's (KWAP) fund size increased by 12.61% or RM11.19bn to RM99.92bn in 2013 from RM88.73bn in 2012, riding the wave of vigorous domestic economic recovery. The rise in asset size was also contributed by an impressive income performance and consistent contributions by the federal government, statutory bodies, local authorities, and agencies, said Deputy Finance Minister Datuk Ahmad Maslan. He said as at the end of December 2013, KWAP registered gross investment income of RM6.66 bn, 15.83% higher than the preceding year of RM5.75 bn.

The Asean Framework for cross-border offering of collective investment schemes (CIS) is now operational in Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand. The framework allows fund managers operating in a member jurisdiction to offer CIS, such as unit trust funds, constituted and authorised in that jurisdiction to retail investors in other member jurisdictions under a streamlined authorisation process. "Within this framework, qualified fund managers in Malaysia now have an opportunity to offer their products directly to investors in Singapore and Thailand. "Correspondingly, Malaysian investors will benefit from a wider range of investment products that will be made available following the operationalisation of the framework," said Securities Commission Malaysia (SC). The framework was announced by the Asean Capital Markets Forum on Monday. (Bernama)

Political News

PAS president Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang yesterday saw his own party men rebel against him when 13 of his Selangor assemblymen rejected his choice of Selangor menteri besar – PKR deputy president Azmin Ali – during a central committee meeting, a week after they decided on proposing two names for the job. The meeting saw Hanipa Maidin, the Islamist party’s Sepang MP, and Hadi in a heated exchange over moves to get PAS support Azmin for the top state post over PKR president Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail, said sources. "There was tension as Hanipa questioned the move to support Azmin as 30 other lawmakers have already expressed support for Dr Wan Azizah. Hanipa wanted to know who else would support Azmin," said one source.

PAS holds 15 seats in the 56-seat state assembly while PKR has 13 and DAP also 15. The rest are 12 Barisan Nasional (BN) lawmakers and Tan Sri Abdul Khalid Ibrahim, the incumbent menteri besar who is now an independent state assemblyman after he was sacked from PKR. PAS, PKR and DAP form Pakatan Rakyat (PR), which had said 30 lawmakers, including two from the

AMMB Holdings has decided to sell its entire stake in its wholly-owned Singapore stockbroking company, AmFraser Securities Pte Ltd, to KGI Asia (Holdings) Pte Ltd (KGI) for S$38m (RM96.2m) cash. AMMB said, its wholly-owned Singapore-based subsidiary, AmFraser International Pte Ltd (AmFIPL), has entered into a sale and purchase agreement with a 100%-owned subsidiary of KGI Securities Co Ltd, a Taiwan-based stockbroking company, for the proposed disposal of AmFraser. “The proposed disposal is conditional, inter alia, on the approval of relevant regulatory authorities in Taiwan and Singapore, and is anticipated to be completed in the first quarter of 2015,” it said. (StarBiz)

The above came as a surprise to us as in view of its strong investment banking (IB) capabilities, we thought that AMMB would prefer to have a regional presence in the IB space. In fact, we expected AMMB to expand its IB business regionally but with the above deal, it is moving in the opposite direction. We take a negative view on the above transaction as following the sale, AMMB's IB business would mostly be confined in the domestic market which remains competitive. However, the impact on earnings would be limited due to the minimal earnings contributions from AmFraser.

Details of Malaysia Airlines’s “complete overhaul” is expected to be disclosed on Friday, a day after the national carrier releases its second quarter results. Parent Khazanah Nasional Bhd is expected to outline extensive plans that will be “painful” but necessary to bring the ailing carrier back to profitability, sources said. The revamp plan will most likely include key changes to its senior management as well as cuts in jobs and capacity routes, the sources said. Current CEO Ahmad Jauhari Yahya’s term, which is believed to end on 19 September, is not expected to be extended, and Celcom Axiata Bhd CEO Datuk Seri Shazalli Ramly is seen as the top choice to replace him. Khazanah is also likely to replace several top executives as it adopts tough measures to stem losses and be more competitive. (BT)

UEM Sunrise Bhd has scaled down its sales target for this year to RM2bn from RM3.2bn due to the property cooling measures. Group executive director Datuk Izzaddin Idris said the measures have caused concern over potential oversupply in Iskandar Malaysia, particularly for high-rise units, resulting in a slowdown in buying momentum.

“This year has proven to be a challenging year for UEM Sunrise but it enables us to consolidate and seize the opportunity to strengthen our core competencies and tighten the quality of our delivery so that we are well-positioned for the next property up-cycle,” he said in a statement. (nst)

New car launches are sporting lower price tags this year, with reductions of 7% to 19% on average, said Malaysia Automotive Institutes (MAI) CEO Madani Sahari. "The car price reduction of 7% to 19% this year, is based on new models that have been launched this year. On average, it is less than 5%. Our target on average is about 5% for 2014. For 2013, there was a 4.97% reduction in car prices. This year, we expect 5% reduction on average," he told. Under the National Automotive Policy (NAP) 2014, the target is to reduce car prices by 25% by 2018. "One of the most obvious reasons is market competition because the government has liberalised the automotive industry. When there is market competition, the players have to compete, in terms of pricing (besides quality)," he said. (The Sun)

"It is still under review. It (completion of the review) must be this year. It cannot be so long," said MAI CEO Madani Sahari. Earlier in April, MAI head of strategic research Asrulnizam Addrus said the open AP does not contribute to the automotive industry's development. The review on the impact of the abolishment of the open AP is being conducted by external consultants, which does not include MAI. (sun)

Kumpulan Wang Persaraan (KWAP) aims to grow its fund size to RM110bn by the end of this year, on the back of bullish outlook of the equity and debt markets. “Every year our goal is to increase our fund size between 10% to 12%,” said chief executive officer Wan Kamaruzaman Wan Ahmad to reporters after the announcement of KWAP’s financial results for the financial year 2013 (FY13) on Monday.
