The KLCI ended off half-a-point at 1,778.15, after falling from early high of 1,787.54 to low of 1,773.09, as losers edged gainers 497 to 412 on lower turnover of 3.51bn shares worth RM3.84bn. While blue chips should slip into profit-taking consolidation, robust trading momentum is likely to center on potential candidates keen on bidding for the Bandar Malaysia project. Immediate upside hurdle for the benchmark is revised to yesterday's new two-year high of 1,787, followed by the 1,800 psychological level and 18 May 2015 high of 1,823. Immediate uptrend supports stays at the rising 30 and 50-day moving average levels, now at 1,755 and 1,748. Any further selloff on IHH below the 38.2%FR (RM5.88) or 3/3/17 low (RM5.78) will aggravate oversold conditions and encourage rebound going forward, while key overhead resistance is from the 61.8%FR (RM6.23) and 200-day ma (RM6.32). Likewise, further weakness on Malakoff to re-visit the 27/2/17 low (RM1.14) may attract bargain hunters looking for oversold rebound towards the 76.4%FR (RM1.30), while stronger support cushion is found at the 123.6%FP (98sen). • • • • • • Top 10 KLCI Movers Based on Mkt Cap. • Counter • Mkt Cap.

Asian Markets Mostly Higher as Oil Extends Gain Asian equities were mostly higher on Tuesday, following the bounce in oil prices after the energy ministers of Russia and Saudi Arabia announced output cuts should be extended till March 2018 and as investors largely shrugged off U.S. political news on President Donald Trump. U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude jumped more than 3 percent on Tuesday following the news. Saudi Arabia and Russia are the world's top two oil producers. In stateside, investors were also mulling the potential economic policy impact of a Washington Post report that Trump divulged highly classified information during his meeting with Russian officials last week. Japan's Nikkei share average edged up on Tuesday, drawing support from a sagging yen and a rise in U.S. shares to record highs. The Nikkei ended the day 0.25 percent higher at 19,919.82. In the down under, Australia's S&P/ASX 200 rose 0.21 percent or 12.198 points to finish at 5,850.6, driven by gains in its industrials and materials sub-indexes. On mainland, China stocks reversed earlier losses to end higher for the fourth straight day, as investors were relieved by central bank efforts to boost liquidity in the financial system even as regulators announced fresh curbs on shadow banking. The blue-chip CSI300 index rose 0.9 percent, to 3,428.65 points, while the Shanghai Composite Index gained 0.7 percent to 3,112.96 points, both posting their best day in five weeks. Page 1 of 8
4. TA Securities 17-May-17 A Member of the TA Group Dow End Session Flat on Mixed Economic Data The S &P 500 and the Dow ended Tuesday's session flat after mixed economic data and retail earnings, while the Nasdaq had another record close with help from technology stocks. U.S. manufacturing production showed its biggest increase in more than three years in April, bolstering a view that economic growth picked up early in the second quarter despite a surprise decline in homebuilding. Investors were also cautious about potential delays to the government's tax and regulation reform agenda after reports late Monday that President Donald Trump disclosed highly classified information to Russia's foreign minister about a planned Islamic State operation. However, the Nasdaq composite managed record highs on an intraday and closing basis, with an outsized boost from Microsoft, which rose 2 percent. The index also posted a three-day winning streak and has closed higher in eight of the last 10 sessions. On earnings front, Home improvement chain Home Depot reported a better-thanexpected first-quarter performance, but TJX Cos Inc, owner of T.J. Maxx and Marshalls stores, posted slowing comparable-store sales growth and a disappointing current-quarter profit forecast. Only two of the 11 major S&P 500 sectors closed higher, with technology providing the biggest boost. The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed down 2.19 points, or 0.01 percent, to 20,979.75, and the S&P 500 lost 1.65 points, or 0.07 percent, to 2,400.67, easing from an intraday record high of 2,405.77. The Nasdaq Composite added 20.20 points, or 0.33 percent, to 6,169.87, a record close for the index. Page 2 of 8
5. TA Securities 17-May-17 A Member of the TA Group News In Brief Corporate According to Minister in the Prime Minister 's Department Datuk Seri Abdul Rahman Dahlan, IWH CREC Sdn Bhd is allowed to bid for the Bandar Malaysia real estate project again as long as the offer is right for the Malaysian Government.

(The Star) Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Datuk Seri Abdul Rahman Dahlan has called for the adoption of the industrialised building system to be made mandatory for all players in the construction industry.

(The Edge) Sime Darby Bhd has received its bondholders' approval to restructure its US$800mn sukuk, a milestone in the group's proposed debt reorganisation, which forms part of its plan to create three independent listed companies. (The Star) Sime Darby Motors, the automotive arm of Sime Darby Bhd, is selling its Australia and New Zealand Sime Darby Automobiles distribution businesses. These companies import and distribute the Peugeot, Citroen and DS brands in the two markets of Australia and New Zealand.

(Bursa Malaysia) IOI Corporation Bhd’s 3QFY17 PBT declined by 53.1% YoY to RM392.0mn. Excluding the net foreign currency translation gain and fair value gain on derivative financial instruments from the resource-based manufacturing (RBM) segment, underlying PBT increased by 12.5% YoY to RM246.3mn mainly due to higher contribution from the plantation segment which was moderated by lower contribution from the RBM segment. Revenue increased by 21.2% YoY to RM3.5bn. (Bursa Malaysia) Turkey’s TAV Havalimanlari Holding AS will bid for the Istanbul unit of Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd (MAHB) if a stake in the operator of Turkey’s second-biggest airport is put up for sale.

6. TA Securities 17-May-17 A Member of the TA Group Inari Amerton Bhd ’s 3QFY17’s net profit surged by 129.4% YoY to RM52.2mn in tandem with revenue growth of 26.1% YoY to RM274.0mn on the back of the increase in demand of products as well as changed in product mixed.

In response, IWC confirmed that it is not aware any corporate development, rumour or report and any other possible explanation for the trading activity. (Bursa Malaysia) Matrix Concepts Holdings Bhd’s 4QFY17’s revenue and net profit respectively decreased by 23.6% to RM161.3mn and 18.7% YoY to RM39.0mn. The poor performance was mainly due to lower revenue recognition from the group’s property development segment, particularly from both commercial and industrial properties as a significant portion of the progress billings would only be recognized after the end of the quarter under review. A fourth interim dividend of 3.75sen per share for FYE17 was declared. Separately, the group proposed to undertake a bonus issue on the basis of 1 bonus share for every 4 existing shares. (Bursa Malaysia) Pharmaniaga Bhd’s 1QFY17 revenue and PBT respectively increased by 10.6% to RM618.3mn and 4.7% to RM27.8mn. The improved performance was primarily due to reduced finance costs, lower amortisation of the Pharmacy Information System, increased contributions from the private sector business and Indonesian operations, although mitigated by higher operating costs. A first interim dividend of 4.0sen per share for FYE17 was declared. (Bursa Malaysia) Perdana Petroleum Bhd (PPB) has proposed to undertake a private placement of up to 10% of the total number of its issued shares. The group intends to utilise 60% of the gross proceeds for repayment of the borrowings of PPB and its subsidiaries and the remaining 40% for working capital requirements and defraying the expenses relating to the proposal. (Bursa Malaysia) Eversendai Corporation Bhd announced that it has secured projects worth RM557.6mn to-date, bringing a total of RM1.3bn projects secured for the year 2017. (Bursa Malaysia) CAB Cakaran Corporation Bhd’s 51% owned subsidiary, Tong Huat Poultry Processing Factory Pte Ltd (THPPF), has exercised the option to purchase a factory site in Singapore for SGD6.1mn (RM18.7mn). The factory would be used by THPPF for processing and packaging of meat products in view of the increase of its production capacity. (Bursa Malaysia) Foundpac Group Bhd recorded 3QFY17 revenue of RM9.4mn and PBT of RM3.8mn. Revenue from sales to overseas customers remained the group’s main contributor and accounted for RM8.9mn or 94.7% of total revenue. (Bursa Malaysia) New Hoong Fatt Holdings Bhd’s 1QFY17 net profit increased by 34.6% YoY to RM7.4mn mainly attributed to higher demand in both local and overseas markets as well as favorable impact from foreign exchange rate, albeit partially offset by higher operating expenses. (Bursa Malaysia) Loss-making Tadmax Resources Bhd which sees a turnaround this year, said it will go in alone and build a 1,000MW combined-cycle gas-fired power plant project in Pulau Indah, Selangor after Tenaga Nasional Bhd declined the offer to participate in the project.

7. TA Securities 17-May-17 A Member of the TA Group JAG Bhd returned to the black in 1QFY17 with a net profit of RM2 .5mn compared to a net loss of RM1.9mn in 1QFY16. The improvement was in tandem with higher average commodity prices for copper, tin, gold, iron and silver as well as the investment holding segment’s RM0.6mn gain on disposal of quoted investment compared to a loss of RM0.4mn in 1QFY16. (Bursa Malaysia) OSK Ventures International Bhd returned to the black in 1QFY17 with a net profit of RM14.8mn compared to the net loss RM4.8mn in 1QFY16. The bright performance was due to the net fair value gain on financial instruments of RM15.2mn recorded in 1QFY17 compared to the loss of RM4.5mn attributed to a net fair value loss on financial instruments in 1QFY16. (Bursa Malaysia) Grand-Flo Bhd (GF) is disposing 8.1% of its equity interest in Simat Technologies Public Company Ltd (Simat) for a total cash consideration of THB106.6mn (RM13.3mn). Simat is principally engaged in the provision of total solution of information technologies services and broadband internet services. The rationale for the disposal was the declining level of synergy between GF and Simat over the recent years as Simat is very much concentrating on growing its new broadband internet services business whilst GF is busy focusing on its property development and enterprise data collection and collation system businesses.

8. TA Securities 17-May-17 A Member of the TA Group News In Brief Economy Asia Japan Tertiary Activity Index Falls Unexpectedly in March Japan 's tertiary activity index decreased unexpectedly in March, figures from the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry showed. The tertiary activity index dropped 0.2% monthover-month in March, after remaining flat in February. Meanwhile, economists had expected a 0.1% increase for the month. Among the individual components of the survey, activity was down for information and communications, living and amusement-related services, finance and insurance, business-related services. At the same time, activity was up for wholesale trade, electricity, gas, heat supply and water, transport and postal activities, medical health care and welfare, retail trade, goods rental and leasing.

(RTT News) RBA Minutes: Economic Recovery Continues to be on Track Members of the Reserve Bank of Australia's Monetary Policy Board said that the country's economic recovery is proceeding at a moderate and acceptable pace, minutes from the bank's May 2 meeting revealed. The economy has been helped along by the depreciating exchange rate, the members said, and they cautioned that a reversal could hamper the recovery. They added that the outlook for the global economy as a whole continues to be positive. "Financial and geopolitical risks to the ongoing expansion in the global economy were still present. The improvement in global economic conditions had helped to support commodity prices, although recent commodity price movements had also been affected by commodity-specific supply factors," the minutes said. At the meeting, the RBA left its benchmark lending rate unchanged at the record low of 1.50% for the eighth straight month. The bank had reduced the rate by 25-basis points each in August and May last year. According to the RBA, economic growth will increase gradually over the next couple of years to a little above 3%. The improvement in the global economy contributed to higher commodity prices, which are providing a significant boost of Australia's national income, the RBA observed. (RTT News) China Central Bank Injects Net 170bil Yuan, the Most in Nearly 4 Months China's central bank injected a net 170 billion yuan (US$24.67 billion) into money market through open market operations to offset liquidity stress caused by corporate tax payment and maturing repos. The People's Bank of China's (PBoC) rare explanation for its injection the largest daily net injection since Jan 19 - comes as authorities continue to clamp down on financial risks while ensuring the economy is not being choked of funds. The PBoC injected 150 billion yuan through seven-day reverse bond repurchase agreements and 40 billion yuan through 14-day reverse repos to "offset impact from factors including tax payment and maturing open market operations", it said in a statement published on its website. Twenty billion yuan of reverse repos were due to mature. After the daily operation, the central bank's net injection for the day amounted to 170 billion yuan. The rates on the 7and 14-day reverse repos remained unchanged, according to the statement. The volumeweighted average rate of the benchmark seven-day repo traded in the interbank market, considered the best indicator of general liquidity in China jumped to more than two year highs at the beginning of this month on liquidity tightness. (The Star) United States Drops in U.S. Housing Starts, Permits Show Sector Weakness Unexpected declines in U.S. new-home construction and building permits in April indicate the market is off to a weak start this quarter, government data showed. Residential starts fell 2.6% to 1.17 million annualized rate (forecast was 1.26 million), lowest since November; following revised 1.2 million in the prior month. Permits decreased 2.5% to 1.23 million annualized pace (forecast was 1.27 million) from 1.26 million. A 9.2% drop drove the decline in starts in multifamily construction. The results indicate that residential construction is at risk of dragging down growth in the second quarter, lessening any economic rebound after weakness in the previous period. Other indicators of housing demand remain healthy suggesting that part of the decline in starts and permits could be Page 6 of 8
9. TA Securities 17-May-17 A Member of the TA Group attributed to shortages of labor and ready-to-build lots , as well as unusually warm weather that may have moved up construction earlier in 2017. Steady hiring and healthier finances are likely to continue to drive home purchases in coming months, echoed by a rise in homebuilder confidence to the second-highest level since 2005. Single-family house construction rose 0.4% to an 835,000 rate from 832,000 the prior month. Work on multifamily homes, such as apartment buildings and condominiums, fell to an annual rate of 337,000; data on these projects can be volatile. Northeast and South regions posted declines in starts, while Midwest and West showed gains; Northeast starts were the lowest since February 2015. Report includes revisions going back to January 2015. Data released by the Census Bureau and Department of Housing and Urban Development in Washington. (Bloomberg) U.S. Industrial Production Rises Most in More than Three Years American factories flexed some muscle in April, boosting output by the most since February 2014 in broad fashion. Along with gains at mines and utilities, total industrial output was also the strongest in more than three years, Federal Reserve data showed. Factory production rose 1% (forecast called for a 0.4% gain) after a 0.4% drop in March. Total industrial production, which also includes mines and utilities, also increased 1% (forecast was for 0.4% gain) after a revised 0.4% gain. Capacity utilization, which measures the amount of a plant that is in use, climbed to 76.7%, the highest since August 2015, from 76.1% in the prior month (forecast was 76.3%). The jump in U.S. manufacturing was broadbased and included the largest surge motor vehicles and parts production since July 2015, according to the Fed. Output also picked up for consumer goods and business equipment, two sources of strength for the economy. With brighter global growth prospects, signs that businesses are more open to investment, and a firm labor market that’s underpinning consumer demand, output may stay strong in coming months. Utility output rose 0.7% after an 8.2% surge in March; the contiguous U.S. had the warmest April since 2012, according to National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration data. Production of motor vehicles increased 5%; excluding autos and parts, industrial production rose 0.7% for a second month. Manufacturing output excluding vehicles and parts also rose 0.7% in April. Mining output advanced 1.2%, led by gains in coal production and drilling; Oil and gas well drilling, rose 9%. Production of consumer goods rose 1.5%, the most since November 2014; output of business equipment climbed 1.2%. Machinery production rose 0.9%. (Bloomberg) Europe and United Kingdom UK Inflation Climbs to Four-year High, Beating Forecasts Inflation hit the highest level in four years during April, beating forecasts and likely ending a two-year period of real wage growth, according to figures from the Office for National Statistics. Prices were 2.7% higher than in the same month a year ago, up from 2.3% during March. The labour market data showed that wages grew 2.3% in the three months to February. The jump in inflation was mainly driven by airfares — they increase during the Easter holidays, which this year fell in April rather than March. Analysts had expected inflation to increase to 2.6%. The news caused the pound to fall 0.54% against the dollar from a value of $1.295. UK government bond prices fell, pushing the yield on 10-year gilts up by 2 basis points to 1.16%. The retail price index, which is no longer used as an official measure of inflation but is used for some inflation-linked bonds, increased to 3.5% in April from 3.1% the previous month. Input prices — a measure of the costs faced by businesses — grew 16.6% during the month. This is the third consecutive month of slowing growth since the cost inflation peaked at 19.9% in January. Increases have been mainly driven by crude oil as the effect of a fall in the price drops out of the figures, but sterling’s weakness since the EU referendum has also helped drive up import prices. (Financial Times) German Economic Confidence Strongest Since 2015 German economic confidence strengthened to the highest since 2015 as financial market experts expect economic growth to improve in months ahead.

15. RESULTS UPDATE TA Securities Wednesday , May 17, 2017 FBMKLCI: 1,778.15 Sector: Technology A Member of the TA Group MENARA TA ONE, 22 JALAN P. RAMLEE, 50250 KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA TEL: +603-20721277 / FAX: +603-20325048 Inari Amertron Berhad TP: RM2.35 (+7.8%) Last Traded: RM2.18 Good Start to 2017 UNDER REVIEW THIS REPORT IS STRICTLY FOR INTERNAL CIRCULATION ONLY* Paul Yap, CFA Tel: +603-2167 9603 paulyap@ta.com.my Review Inari posted a 9MFY17 core net profit of RM152.6mn (-18.0% QoQ, +40.8% YoY). This was within ours and consensus estimates at 73.2% and 79.4%. A third interim dividend of 2.2sen/share was announced (YTD: 7.0sen/share). Despite typical seasonal weakness, flattish revenues were achieved sequentially. A fall in RF utilisation rates to 70% (2QFY17: 75%), were offset by a weaker ringgit and iris scanning & fiber chip contributions. Although profits fell, we note this was attributed to forex losses of RM6.1mn in the current quarter (vs. total forex gains of RM23.1mn in 2QFY17). Revenues increased 5.7% YoY. We believe this was partly attributed to a higher average USD/MYR rate of RM4.27 (+2.3% YoY). The group also suffered from a pull back in orders from a leading smartphone manufacturer in 3QFY16, as it seeked to trim inventories. Impact Leave our earnings forecasts unchanged. Outlook RF revenues are anticipated to be flattish in FY17, due to a shift from 6inch to 8-inch wafers – which are able to store 1.7x more dies. Because of a dissimilar increase in ASPs required to process them, wafer processing revenues were impacted. Its current capacity stands at 700 testers. Space has been freed up at P13 to cater for an additional 80 testers. A potential upside for the group is Inari Optical Technology (IOT) – a new business involved in the packaging and testing of infrared LED. This will be implemented into smartphones for iris scanning capabilities. Its initial capacity of 5mn units/month will eventually be doubled as another line is transferred from its customer’s facilities. Assuming successful adoption, we see volumes possibly picking up to 50-60mn units/month. Valuation We value Inari at an unchanged TP of RM2.35/share – based on a PE of 18x and CY18 EPS. We revise our call for the stock to Under Review, pending further information from an analyst briefing to be held later today.

Excluding disposal gains and other non-core items, core profit increased by 30.0% YoY to RM844.6mn, accounting for 72% and 71% of ours and consensus’ full year estimate. The higher earnings from the plantation helped to offset lower contribution from the downstream business. Plantation: Despite lower FFB production (-3% YoY), 9MFY17 operating profit increased sharply by 45.1% YoY to RM873.6mn. The commendable results were mainly due to higher CPO and PK prices. Note that the average selling price of CPO for 9MFY17 has increased by 26.7% YoY to RM2,753/tonne. Meanwhile, PK price has surged www.taonline.com.my Share Information Bloomberg Code IOI MK Stock Code 1961 Listing Main Market Share Cap (mn) 6,301 Market Cap (RMmn) 29,237 Par Value 0.10 52-wk Hi/Lo (RM) 4.81/4.10 12-mth Avg Daily Vol ('000 shrs) 5,529 Estimated Free Float (%) 33.4 Beta 1.08 Major Shareholders (%) Vertical Capacity S/B - 47.16 EPF - 9.39 Forecast Revision tremendously by 81.5% YoY to RM2,875/tonne. Manufacturing: As expected, the downstream segment has suffered markedly in 3QFY17 as a result of lower sales volume and lower margin from the oleochemical and refining sub-segment. Operating profit decreased substantially to merely RM13.4mn (-91.9% QoQ, -88.8% YoY) in 3QFY17. YTD, this segment reported a lower operating profit of RM286.5mn (-29.1% YoY).

Subsequently, CPO and PK prices are expected to be lower in vs TA vs Consensus 4QFY17 (July-Sep) due to increase in production. With that, the downstream is expected to perform better owing to increase in margin. Recently, global environmental activist group Greenpeace has suspended its campaign against IOI Group as a result of its progress on sustainability across its supply chain.
