Further strength on Genting Bhd shares towards the 76.4%FR (RM9.41) should meet profit-taking resistance, with next hurdle seen from the 100day moving average (RM9.57). Key chart supports are from the 61.8%FR (RM9.04) and 200-day ma (RM8.78). Likewise, Genting Malaysia shares should encounter keen profit-taking interest on any rallies towards the upper Bollinger band (RM5.83) or 76.4%FR (RM5.92), while better chart supports are from the lower band (RM5.47) or 50%FR (RM5.40).

Asian Markets Higher after Yellen Comments Asian stock markets traded higher on Thursday as investors digested Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen’s comments. Yellen said the U.S economy is healthy enough for the Fed to raise rates and begin winding down its massive bond portfolio, though low inflation may leave the central bank with diminished leeway. The Nikkei ended flat at 20,099.81 as gains in tech shares offset weakness in financial stocks. South Korea's Kospi hit a record high, making gains after the Bank of Korea kept policy rates steady. Kospi ended 0.74 percent higher to close at 2,409.49. In down under, the benchmark ASX200 ended higher by 1.11 percent to close at 5,736.77 led by gains in the health care sub-index. Chinese stocks firmed on Thursday, with the blue-chip index closing at an 18-month high, underpinned by solid trade data. China June trade data came in stronger than expected. Exports and imports rose by 11.3 percent and 17.2 percent. The blue-chip CSI300 index rose 0.77 percent to 3,686.92 points, while the Shanghai Composite Index gained 0.67 percent to 3,219.04 points.

  4. TA Securities 14-Jul-17 A Member of the TA Group Financials Leads Wall Street Higher U .S stock markets traded higher on Thursday with the Dow hitting another record closing high, buoyed by financial shares. The financial index was the best performer among the 11 major S&P sectors, ending up 0.61 percent ahead of profit reports due Friday. JPMorgan Chase, Wells Fargo and Citigroup are set to report their results. Healthcare index was up 0.09 percent, barely moving on news of U.S Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's unveiling of a revised healthcare bill. Meanwhile, shares of Target climbed 4.8 percent after the company said it expects "modest increase" in second-quarter comparable-store sales. The news boosted other retailers, with Wal-Mart, Costco, Kohl's and Macy's all ending higher. In economic news, the U.S producer price index rose 0.1 percent in June. Weekly jobless claims, meanwhile, came in just above expectations at 247,000. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 20.95 points, or 0.10 percent, to 21,553.09, the S&P 500 added 4.58 points to 2,447.83 and the Nasdaq Composite gained 13.27 points, or 0.21 percent, to 6,274.44.

  5. TA Securities 14-Jul-17 A Member of the TA Group News In Brief Corporate Axiata Group Bhd and iflix , a subscription video on demand service provider, have inked a non-binding memorandum of understanding relating to the expansion of their strategic collaboration to provide entertainment to Axiata’s more than 125mn customers in six countries. (The Star) Australia and New Zealand Banking Group is nearing a deal to sell its 24% stake in AMMB Holdings Bhd to a pension fund, sources familiar with the matter said, in a transaction that could be worth around $900mn. (The Star) Sunway Bhd is acquiring 4.5 acres of freehold prime land in Kuala Lumpur for RM165.0mn from vendors LGT Sdn Bhd, Tan Sri Lim Kok Thay, Puan Sri Datin Seri Lim (Nee Lee) Kim Hua, Yarraville Sdn Bhd, Dandenong Sdn Bhd, and Ripponlea Sdn Bhd. The proposed development on the land will comprise mainly serviced apartments with some lifestyle retail units. The estimated gross development value of the proposed development is RM1.1bn. (Bursa Malaysia) MMC Corporation Bhd (MMC) announced that KOTUG Asia Sdn Bhd (KASB) has ceased to be a 51% subsidiary of Johor Port Bhd (JPB), which in turn is a wholly-owned subsidiary of MMC, following the completion of JPB’s equity interest in KASB for a cash consideration of RM4.1mn. (Bursa Malaysia) Despite UMW Oil & Gas Corp Bhd’s share price having plummeted by some 65% since it announced a massive rights issue back in January 2017, the company is forging ahead with the exercise, says president Rohaizad Darus. (The Star) Felda Global Ventures Holdings Bhd said two of its directors, Datuk Dr Omar Salim and Datuk Noor Ehsanuddin Mohd Harun Narrashid, will remain on its board despite previously expressing their wish to resign. (The Edge) Mah Sing Group Bhd is offering business grants to eligible franchise and retail owners who buy a property project at any of its six selected projects. (The Edge) Atlan Holdings Bhd’s 1QFY17 revenue and profit before tax declined by 6.2% YoY to RM217.3mn and 10.5% YoY to RM23.3mn respectively mainly due to lower demand from customers for certain products as well as the imposition of goods and services tax at the border outlets and duty-free zones with effect from 1 January 2017 coupled with higher management fee incurred. However, the decrease was partially offset by decrease in transportation costs. (Bursa Malaysia) Dagang NeXchange Bhd has bagged a nationwide project from Petro Teguh (M) Sdn Bhd (Petro Teguh) for the design, engineering, procurement, construction, installation, commissioning and maintenance of up to 100 portable container systems for Petro Teguh with total expected value of RM50mn to RM75mn. (Bursa Malaysia) Dagang NeXchange Bhd’s wholly-owned subsidiary Dagang Net Technologies Sdn Bhd has been appointed as the reseller of Financio, a cloud-based accounting software, in Malaysia and Indonesia. Designed for users with little accounting knowledge, DNeX said Dagang Net will target to sell Financio to start-up firms, small business owners and micro small and medium enterprises. (The Edge) Yinson Holdings Bhd announced that it has established a USD500mn multi-currency perpetual securities programme whereby proceeds from issuances will be utilised for the group’s general corporate purposes.

  7. TA Securities 14-Jul-17 A Member of the TA Group News In Brief Economy Asia Bank Negara Malaysia Maintains OPR at 3 %, Says Inflation Moderating Bank Negara Malaysia maintained the overnight policy rate (OPR) at 3.00% in anticipation the country will register higher economic growth and moderating inflation. Bank Negara said at the OPR's current level, the central bank's monetary policy was accommodative and supportive of economic activity. Malaysian economy performed better than expected in the first quarter of 2017 and the growth was lifted by stronger domestic demand, with additional impetus from exports. Overall, the economy is expected to register higher growth in 2017. Headline inflation is expected to moderate in the second half of the year, mainly reflecting the waning effect of global cost factors. Underlying inflation, as measured by core inflation, will be sustained by the more robust domestic demand, but is expected to remain contained. The central bank said the ringgit remained stable due to a more balanced demand and supply of foreign currencies, following implementation of Malaysia's financial market development measures. (The Edge Markets). China’s June Exports Beat Expectations With a 11.3% Rise China’s exports and imports both came in stronger than expected in June, reflecting resilience in the world’s second-largest economy amid Beijing’s effort to reduce debt and boding well for next week’s report on overall growth. China’s exports rose 11.3% in June from a year earlier, marking the fourth straight month of gains, thanks to robust external demand for Chinese goods, the General Administration of Customs said. The increase came in higher that the 8.7% growth in May and a forecast for a 9.0% rise by economists polled by The Wall Street Journal. Imports in June also came in stronger than expected, expanding 17.2% from a year earlier, after a 14.8% increase in May. Economists had forecast a 12.4% gain. China’s trade surplus widened in June to $42.77 billion from $40.81 billion in May, falling short of a median forecast for a $44.2 billion surplus. Continued global economic recovery and improving external demand boosted Chinese exports while imports were buoyed by steady domestic growth and higher commodity prices, China’s customs officials said in a briefing. China’s trade data is closely watched as a barometer of strength in global trade though exports have become a less important factor in China’s own growth in recent years. In Yuan terms, exports increased 17.3% and imports surged 23.1%. (CNBC) Australia Inflation Expectations Rise in July Inflation expectations in Australia increased in July, survey data from the Melbourne Institute showed. The expected inflation rate over the next twelve months rose by 0.8 %age points to 4.4% in July from 3.6% in June. In June, the weighted proportion of respondents expecting the inflation rate to fall within the 0-5 % range decreased by 3.6 %age points to 66.4%. The weighted mean of responses within this range rose by 0.2 %age points to 2.5%. (RTT News) United States Yellen: Premature to Conclude Inflation Trend Is Falling Well Short of Target Federal Reserve Chairwoman Janet Yellen said Thursday a stronger labor market and rising prices of imported goods supported her expectation that a recent downturn in inflation would prove transitory. In raising interest rates last month and penciling in one more increase later this year, Fed officials have so far looked past recent soft inflation readings by pointing to several idiosyncratic price declines, such as for wireless phone plans, which Ms. Yellen again cited on Thursday in testimony to the Senate Banking Committee. But Ms. Yellen cited the inherent uncertainty behind the past three months of muted price pressures. “There may be more going on. We’re watching inflation very carefully in light of low readings,” she said. “I think it’s premature to conclude that the underlying inflation trend is falling well short of 2%. I haven’t reached such a conclusion.” Fed officials next meet July 25-26, and are likely to leave short-term interest rates unchanged. At their meeting last month, officials raised rates for the third time in as many quarters to a range between 1% and 1.25%. Excluding volatile food and energy categories, the Fed’s preferred inflation gauge slowed to a gain of 1.4% over the year ended May, Page 5 of 7
  8. TA Securities 14-Jul-17 A Member of the TA Group versus 1 .8% in February. The Fed has fallen short of its 2% inflation target for most of the past five years. (The Wall Street Journal) U.S. Jobless Claims Fell by 3,000 to 247,000 The number of Americans applying for unemployment benefits fell for the first time in a month, bolstering the Federal Reserve’s view that the labor market is firming. Initial jobless claims, a measure of workers laid off across the U.S., dropped by 3,000 to a seasonally adjusted 247,000 in the week ended July 8, the Labor Department said. Economists surveyed by The Wall Street Journal had expected 245,000 new claims. Weekly claims figures are rough estimates and tend to be volatile. A more-reliable measure, the four-week moving average of claims, rose by 2,250 to 245,750. Claims had climbed for three straight weeks before the latest drop. But they have consistently remained near four-decade lows this year, as most employers expand or hold steady rather than cut positions in a stable economy. The economy added 222,000 jobs in June and the unemployment rate stood at 4.4%, near its lowest level in 16 years. With the labor market appearing at or near full employment, markets increasingly expect the Fed to next raise short-term rates again in December. At its meeting last month, the Fed raised short-term interest rates for the third time in as many quarters. Thursday’s report showed the number of continuing unemployment benefit claims—those drawn by workers for more than a week—fell by 20,000 to 1,945,000 in the week ended July 1. Continuing claims are reported with a oneweek lag. (The Wall Street Journal) U.S. Producer Prices Rose Slightly in June A gauge of U.S. business prices ticked up in June, pointing to modest inflation pressures. The producer-price index for final demand, which measures changes in the prices that U.S. companies receive for their goods and services, increased a seasonally adjusted 0.1% in June from a month earlier, the Labor Department said. Economists surveyed by The Wall Street Journal had expected the index to remain flat last month. From a year earlier, prices advanced 2%. The report showed food prices rose 0.6% in June, led by a 5.5% increase in the price of meat. Energy prices fell 0.5%. The index for core prices, which excludes the often-volatile prices for food and energy, grew 0.1% in June, in line with economist expectations. From a year earlier, core prices were up 1.9%. Changes in PPI aren’t necessarily a reflection of what consumers pay, as the inflation gauge looks at prices businesses receive from customers, including consumers, other businesses and governments. But in general, PPI readings follow the same trends as other major inflation gauges. The personal-consumption expenditures price index, the Fed’s preferred inflation gauge, rose 1.4% in May from a year earlier, the Commerce Department previously reported. That was a slowdown from a 2.1% annual increase in February, the first time in five years the index’s annual increase poked above the Fed’s 2% annual inflation target. (The Wall Street Journal) Europe and United Kingdom UK Banks Cautious on Consumer Lending Amid Fears of Slowing Economy The availability of consumer credit in the UK economy tightened in the second quarter and is expected to decline further as banks turn cautious amid a worsening in Britain’s economic outlook, according to the Bank of England. Retail banks and other lenders told the BoE they had cut back on the supply of unsecured lending – which includes credit card loans – in the three months to the end of June. Supply is expected to tighten further this year, according to the BoE’s quarterly credit conditions survey, which said banks’ appetite for risk was being effected by a “changing economic outlook”. The UK economy has been driven by strong consumer spending in the aftermath of the BREXIT vote last year. But growth fell back sharply in the first quarter of 2017 – from 0.7% to 0.2% – raising concerns growth is not sustainable. Higher inflation and weak wage growth have squeezed UK consumers, with average real pay falling by 0.7% in the three months to May. Demand for credit has also boomed as Britons are saving the lowest proportion of their income since at least 1963, according to official data. (Financial Times) Page 6 of 7
  9. TA Securities 14-Jul-17 A Member of the TA Group German Inflation Rises as Estimated in June Germany 's consumer price inflation increased as initially estimated in June, latest figures from Destatis showed. The consumer price index rose at a slightly faster pace of 1.6% yearover-year in June, following a 1.5% climb in May. That was in line with the flash data published on June 26. Energy prices remained flat following May's 2% increase. Meanwhile, food inflation rose to 2.8% from 2.4%. On a monthly basis, consumer prices edged up 0.2% in June, reversing a 0.2% drop in the prior month. The latest figures confirmed preliminary data. The harmonized index of consumer prices advanced 1.5% YoY in June, as estimated earlier, after climbing 1.4% in May, MoM the HICP moved up 0.2%.

  12. TA Securities RESULTS UPDATE Friday , 14 July 2017 FBMKLCI: 1,753.78 Sector: Property A Member of the TA Group MENARA TA ONE, 22 JALAN P. RAMLEE, 50250 KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA TEL: +603-20721277 / FAX: +603-20325048 TP: RM1.07 (+5.4%) Hua Yang Berhad Last traded: RM1.02 Weak Start to FY18 Sell THIS REPORT IS STRICTLY FOR INTERNAL CIRCULATION ONLY* Thiam Chiann Wen Tel: +603-2167 9615 cwthiam@ta.com.my Review Hua Yang’s 1QFY18 net profit of RM1.7mn came in grossly below expectations. It only accounted for 3% and 2% of ours and consensus forecasts respectively. The variance was largely due to: 1) slower-thanexpected construction progress, and 2) lower-than-expected margin. 1QFY18 net profit plunged 93% YoY to RM1.7mn, underpinned by: 1) 63% drop in revenue, 2) 7.2ppt contraction in gross margin, and 3) higher interest expense from acquisition of Magna Prima Bhd (MPB). The decline in revenue was due to lower sales achieved in FY15-17. Meanwhile, we attribute the weaker margin to less favourable product mix. QoQ, 1QFY18 net profit decreased 82% on the back of 41% drop in revenue. Weak earnings were largely attributed to lower sales achieved in FY15-17 and several on-going projects that are already at the tail end of construction. Gross margin narrowed to 27% from 38% a quarter ago, largely impacted by Hua Yang’s social housing projects in Johor. Hua Yang recorded RM53.2mn sales in 1QFY18 (-2% YoY and -54%QoQ). The weaker sales performance was largely due to absence of new launches amid softer market conditions. Meritus Residensi, Mainland Penang was the key contributor to 1QFY18 sales, which made up about 30% of total property sales during the quarter under review. As a result of lower sales, unbilled sales declined to RM204mn as at Jun-17 from RM214mn a quarter ago. The group’s net gearing ballooned to 0.63x as at end Jun 2017 from 0.39x a quarter ago as it has drawn down new borrowings to fund the acquisition of 20.12% stake in MPB. Impact Earnings unchanged, pending more updates from analyst briefing. Outlook Management targets to deliver RM400mn new sales in FY18, underscored by RM718mn property launched in 4QFY17. In addition, the group will also roll out new properties worth RM322mn at Puchong West and Kota Masai Township in FY18. We expect landed residential properties in Bandar University Seri Iskandar and Meritus Residensi, Mainland Penang to be the key contributors to FY18 sales.

Based on the traffic data published (see Figure 1 & 2), we expect 2Q17 core earnings, after removing exceptional items, to come in the range between RM70 and 85mn. This would represent a growth of more than 200% on account for: 1) higher passenger movement (international +14%; domestic +9.7% YoY) in 2Q17, 2) reduction in amortisation cost caused by the extension of operating agreement; and 3) lower interest expense. Passenger movement surged 13.5% in June 2017 MAHB reported that the total passenger movement for June-17 increased by 13.5% YoY (-4.3% MoM) to 7.6mn (see Figure 1) for Malaysia’s traffic. This was led by 17.2% (-3.8% MoM) growth in the international segment (see Figure 4) and 10.0% (-4.8% MoM) growth in the domestic segment (see Figure 5). The strong data for both the international and domestic segments was due to higher travel demand in conjunction with Hari Raya Aidifitri.

The growth was supported mainly by early Hari Raya effect, which resulted in expansion in traffic movement in both the international (14.5%) and domestic segment (8.1%). ISG reported cumulative growth of 1.7% for 6M17 Istanbul Sabiha Gokcen (ISG) airport recorded a 7.5% (see Figure 2) increase in passenger movement in June-17 with positive growth in both the international (11.3%) and domestic segment (5.8%) (see Figure 6 & 7). This was the fourth positive growth in 2017 signalling a firm recovery in the aftermath of military coup and terrorist attack in Istanbul. Cumulatively, the 1H17 passenger movement recovered further to 1.7% in June from 0.6% a month ago. Page 1 of 4 (12-Mth) Share Price relative to the FBM KLCI Source: Bloomberg

As far as the tourism tax is concerned, we expect the additional cost of accommodation, which works out to 5-8% of hotel room rate, is bearable. Meanwhile, the sale of minority stake in ISG could serve as a re-rating catalyst on condition of fair pricing and good use of disposal proceeds. We reckon that MAHB could make a special dividend from the disposal proceeds. Recall in 201314, MAHB exercised its rights of first refusal to acquire 80% stake in ISG and LGM in two occasions for EUR209mn and EUR285mn. The acquisitions were largely funded by equity financing. Forecast No change to our FY17-19 earnings projections. We maintain our FY17 passenger growth assumption of 6.7% (management forecast: 6.5%) for Malaysian operations after taking into account the high base effect in 2H16. In contrast, ISG’s traffic movement for 2H17 is expected to grow strongly due to low base effect as 2H16 volume was affected by the terrorist attack and military coup. As such, we also maintain our passenger growth assumption of 7.2% for ISG, in line with management guidance. Valuation We maintain our DCF valuation at RM8.10/share based on discount rate of 11.7%. Since our last upgrade to Buy in Feb-17, MAHB share price has appreciated 40.8%, which we believe has fully priced in those near-term earnings drivers. As such, we reiterate our Sell recommendation on MAHB.

At yesterday’s Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) meeting, Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) decided to maintain the Overnight Policy Rate (OPR) at 3.00%. The decision was within consensus as well as ours estimate. There is no change in the Statutory Reserve Requirement (SRR) – kept at 3.50%. Figure 1: OPR vs. SRR Rate (January 2008 - July 2017) OPR SRR 4.50 4.00 3.50 3.00 2.50 2.00 1.50 1.00 0.50 Jan-17 Apr-16 Jul-15 Oct-14 Jan-14 Apr-13 Jul-12 Jan-11 Oct-11 Jul-09 Apr-10 Jan-08 Oct-08 Jul-06 Apr-07 Jan-05 Oct-05 0.00 Source: Bloomberg, TA Securities • Bullish Global Growth Prospect. The BNM noted that the global economy continues to improve while industrial activity and global trade are performing better than expectation with more synchronized growth across countries. In the advanced economies, the broadbased increase in investment amid the steady growth in consumption is raising growth prospects. The global economy is expected to grow by 3.5% this year, according to the latest IMF report. However, downside risks remain arising from political and policy uncertainties in the major economies, geopolitical and financial market developments, and volatility of commodity prices. • A Firmer Footing for Malaysia. In Asia, growth is expected to be driven by domestic activity and stronger external demand. This include Malaysia, with overall economy remained firm with a better-than expected result in the first quarter while inflation remained above its last year average. The more favorable global growth prospects will lead to sustained export performance and generate positive spillovers to the domestic economy. We predict real GDP to continue performing well in the second quarter onwards. Indeed, a string of economic indicators released recently was largely above expectation. IPI grew by 4.6% YoY in July 2017, while exports posted a robust growth of 32.5% YoY. Growth will also be supported by healthy private consumption, improvement in exports, private investment, as well as strong manufacturing and services sectors. (TA GDP Forecast for 2017: +5.1% YoY) • Inflation to moderate in 2H17. BNM also noted that headline inflation is expected to moderate in the 2H17 mainly reflecting the waning effect of global cost factors and volatile commodity prices. Malaysia’s CPI grew by 4.2% YoY in 5M17 and is expected to subside further to 3.5% in the second half of the year, in our view. Although the pressures is expected to subside, the trend of domestic headline inflation will be dependent on future global oil Page 1 of 3 www.taonline.com.my

Meanwhile, underlying inflation, as measured by core inflation, will be sustained by the more robust domestic demand but is expected to remain contained. • OPR to increase? There will be three more meetings left with the next MPC meeting is on 7 September 2017. Although we believe that BNM may hold the rate at 3.00% level, we do not rule out the possibility of the central bank hiking the OPR by 25bps to 3.25%. This is especially, if robust economic performance continues following better performance in domestic activities and trade, challenged by higher inflation as well as volatile capital flows amid an on-going US Fed tightening cycle. Note that, we are in the negative real interest since early of this year. The last OPR hike was in July 2014, where Bank Negara raised OPR by 25 bps to 3.25% after experiencing 7 months of negative real interest rate. Still, we expect the central bank is going to go with the growth mandate rather than focus on inflationary pressure in making its decision on the key rate. • Ringgit to improve in a 1-2 years’ time. Meanwhile, the central bank acknowledged the domestic financial markets have been resilient. The ringgit has remained stable with a more balanced demand and supply of foreign currencies following the implementation of the two financial market development measures. Positive news flows to date has influenced our Ringgit firmer, making it as the best major Asian currencies in 2Q17. The tightening path of US monetary policy is not expected to pin down Ringgit as it will be on a slow and steady basis. We maintain our Ringgit forecast to be average at 4.25 against the greenback and expecting it to continue rally next year.
