▌What’s on the Table…

——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

Berjaya Auto - Explosive acceleration sustained

At 75% of our full-year forecast and 72% of consensus, Berjaya Auto’s 3QFY4/15 core net earnings were in line with our expectation but slightly below consensus. A third interim dividend of 3.35 sen per share was declared, as expected. We make no changes to our EPS forecasts and our target price, still valuing the company at 14.0x CY16 P/E, a 10% premium over its peers’ average P/E in view of its higher growth trajectory. We reiterate our Add call on the stock, which remains as our top pick for the sector. Successful launch of its upcoming new models and continuous growth in its sales volume are potential re-rating catalysts.

Affin Holdings - Morphing

During today’s briefing, management guided for a challenging operating environment in 2015. Strategically, it will be focusing on sustaining profit growth for the commercial banking business but it will be more aggressive in pushing for the expansion of its investment banking (IB) unit, with its larger scale after acquiring Hwang DBS Investment Bank last year. We are lowering our DDM-based target price (COE of 13%; LT growth of 4%) as we cut our assumed growth rate from 5.5% to 5% for the interim phase given the weaker outlook following the slowdown in Jan 15 loan growth. We still rate Affin as a Reduce, premised on the potential de-rating catalysts of (1) margin contraction, and (2) an expected upturn in credit costs. We prefer RHBCap.

WCT Holdings - Breakthrough in the Gulf

WCT's 70:30 JV has won a RM1.2bn contract in Qatar. The RM840m share of works bumps up its order book by 27% to RM3.9bn and is within our RM2bn new job assumption for FY15. We are thrilled that this long-awaited project has finally come through but we remain cautious about the group's property development earnings, which may see more downside. We retain our EPS forecasts, which are already ahead of consensus as we had imputed a recovery in construction. Our target price remains pegged to a 40% RNAV discount. This award should mitigate margin risks arising from the property development side. Maintain Hold as domestic awards for WCT are likely in 2H15. Muhibbah Engineering remains our small/mid-cap pick.

Global Economic News

Abdalla Salem el-Badri, the secretary general of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) said that the cartel's decision to keep pumping crude in the face of collapsing prices was hurting the US shale-oil industry and that a global pullback on investment could lead to a shortage that will push the market upward again.

“Projects are being canceled. Investments are being revised. Costs are being squeezed," he said. "If we don't have more supply, there will be a shortage and the price will rise again." (WSJ)

The US Federal Reserve's labor-market conditions index slowed to 4.0 in Feb (4.8 in Jan). (Bloomberg)

US Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland President Loretta Mester reiterated her belief the Fed is on track for rate hikes in the near future.

"If incoming economic information continues to support my forecast, I would be comfortable with liftoff in the first half of this year," she said.

She noted that when it comes to raising rates off of their current near zero levels, the Fed is not on any sort of pre-ordained path."Both liftoff and the path of policy thereafter will be based on incoming information to the extent that it affects the economic outlook and progress toward our goals of maximum employment and price stability”. (WSJ)

The US Federal Reserve Bank of New York’s consumers' expectation of future inflation edged down to +2.8% yoy in Feb (+2.9% yoy in Jan). (WSJ)

The US federal deficit will rise to US$486bn for the current fiscal year (deficit of US$468bn from Jan projection), said the Congressional Budget Office (CBO).

It attributed the increase to higher projected spending on Medicare, Medicaid and student loans.

However, it sees the deficit falling to US$455bn in the two years that follow. It also forecasts that the deficit over the 10-year period ending in 2025 will be US$431bn less than previously estimated. (WSJ)

Eurozone Sentix investor confidence improved to 18.6 in Mar (12.4 in Feb). (WSJ)

Bank of Japan (BOJ) Deputy Gov. Hiroshi Nakaso said that the central bank won't take fresh action in a direct response to sliding energy prices, adding that cheaper oil will eventually have a stimulative effect on the economy and prices.

"If falling oil prices lower inflation, but inflation expectations remain unaffected and inflation keeps heading toward 2% as a trend, there is no need to respond through monetary policy," he said. (WSJ)

Please refer to our note for comments.

The water deal between the Federal and Selangor governments has lapsed on 9 Mar and will not be extended, said Selangor Menteri Besar Mohamed Azmin Ali.

Azmin said the Federal Government had breached the terms of the agreement and the state government would not grant a third extension. “I will see what new terms they have to discuss with the state,” he said.

The deal finalised last year, saw the state government taking over the four water concessionaires in the state — Syarikat Pengeluar Air Selangor, Syarikat Bekalan Air Selangor, Puncak Niaga and Konsortium Abbas; with the aim of providing the people with cheaper water.

Also included was the Selangor’s approval for the construction of the Langat 2 water treatment plant. (NST)

In a move that experts say may worsen Klang Valley's water woes, Selangor Mentri Besar Azmin Ali has decided to scrap the plan to restructure the water industry after the deadline for the deal expired yesterday. In its immediate consequence, shares of Puncak Niaga and KPS - two water infrastructure-related counters in teh state - came under pressure yesterday.

While adamant that the deadline for the ongoing plan to restructure the water industry in Selangor had expired yesterday,Azmin hinted at further talks with the Federal Government on the issue. "The agreement (water deal) lapsed and we (the Selangor state government) are not going to extend it. "They (Federal Government) breached the agreement and did not honour it," he said. He said he would elaborate on the preconditions not met at a press conference today. (Star)

Puncak Niaga is likely to be in limbo over its water assets which it has agreed to divest to PAAB as part of the water consolidation move. According to Selangor MB Azmin Ali, the sale and purchase agreement (SPA) that Puncak and Air Selangor entered into in Nov-14 is void now after the state government had declined to giver a third extension to the master water agreement, which lapsed yesterday. "I want to move forward, but it is very unfortunate...the federal government had failed to honour the agreement. In fact, they have breached the agreement, so what choice do we have." he said.

Aemulus' IPO involves the public issue of 87.8m new shares, of which 21.9m shares for Malaysian public, 13.2m for eligible directors, employees and business associates and 52.7m for private placement.

Aemulus is involved in the design, engineering and development of automated test equipment (ATE). Most of its customers are large multinational semiconductor manufacturers and semiconductor test and assembly companies. It is focusing on further export penetration into the USA and China, which are among the key markets for consumer electronics. (The Sun)

Petronas' proposal to raise debt through a sukuk issue – one of the biggest this year – is deemed “opportunistic”, says S&P.

Corporate ratings director Xavier Jean said that Petronas had been a financially conservative company and could leverage on its strong stand-alone credit rating and cash pile of RM128bn to get a competitive rate from the latest round of debt funding. “This will give the company more financial flexibility and keep the company in a net cash position,” he said.

He said Petronas did not really need the money as there was no special intention for the debt raised, but noted that this could be a good time since the company had not tapped the debt markets in recent years. It is reported that the company could raise US$15bn (RM55.2bn) to US$17bn (RM62.55bn). (Star)

The Malaysia Deposit Insurance Corporation (PIDM) has revised the guidelines on the Differential Premium Systems (DPS) framework for the Deposit Insurance System. The DPS framework is a risk-based system to provide financial incentives for member banks to achieve sound risk management as well as ensure fairness among member banks, it said.

The revised DPS framework, effective from assessment year 2015, will supersede the last enhancement in 2011. Implemented in 2008, the DPS provides a framework for imposing premiums on member banks at differential rates. PIDM Executive General Manager Rafiz Azuan Abdullah said the better the risk profile of the member bank, the lower the premium rate will be. (Malaysian Insider)

A Malaysia Airlines towelette that washed up on a Western Australia beach is being examined to determine whether it could have come from missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370. The towelette — a small pre-moistened paper towel — has been shipped to Canberra for further testing after being discovered in July by a couple walking along a beach in Cervantes, Nine News reports. The couple who discovered the towelette said the item was “unopened, which was very unusual”. Experts say it would be possible for a package that small to travel long distances. (Daily Telegraph)

Malaysian palm oil futures fell to a near two-week low on Monday, after planters' estimates showed steady palm output in the second largest producer, countering expectation of a fall. The impetus for foreign buying from a weaker ringgit was offset by losses in crude and soyoil markets, traders said. The Malaysian Palm Oil Association, a group of growers, forecast that total February crude palm oil output in the key palm exporter at 1.16m tonnes, unchanged from January, as poor yields from Borneo regions were compensated by robust growth in Peninsular Malaysia. The estimates are against market expectations for output to drop 3% to 1.13 m tonnes - the weakest in four years - after monsoon floods hindered harvesting and the Lunar holidays in mid-February cut the number of harvesting days.
