Asian Markets Pull Back After European Stocks Surge Fade Overnight Asian shares traded lower on Tuesday after a relatively quiet overnight session, after European equities broke a winning streak and the U.S. markets being closed for a holiday on Monday. U.S. markets were closed on Monday for a holiday, and the focus will be on whether Wall Street can maintain its recovery once trading resumes later in the day. Meanwhile, minutes from the Reserve Bank of Australia released on Tuesday indicated policymakers were sanguine about the uptick in the global economy. RBA members also noted that wage growth "was yet to pick up" despite the robust job market and highlighted that household debt remained "elevated." Japanese stocks dropped as a combination of a retreat in risk appetite and profit-taking dented the broader market, with financials and index-heavy shares underperforming. The Nikkei dropped 1.0 percent to 21,925.10, after rising 2 percent on Monday. Over in South Korea, the Kospi slid 1.13 percent to end at 2,415.12, with losses seen in heavyweight technology names. Samsung Electronics fell and SK Hynix fell more than 1 percent, respectively. In down Under, the S&P/ASX 200 finished the session off by 0.01 percent as the 1.93 percent gain in the information technology sector was offset by declines seen in other sectors. Markets in China, Taiwan and Vietnam remained closed on Tuesday for the Lunar New Year holiday. Page 1 of 5
- 21-Feb-18 Wall Street Snap Winning Streak as Walmart Weighs on Market The Dow and S &P snapped a six-day winning streak Tuesday, with the Dow and S&P 500 weighed down by a steep loss for Walmart as investors also watched climbing bond yields, which could make equities less attractive at current levels. Walmart, the world’s biggest brickand-mortar retailer, reported a lower-than-expected profit and posted a sharp drop in online sales growth during the holiday period. Its shares slumped 10.2 percent, and suffered their biggest percentage fall since January 1988. Meanwhile, a rise in interest rates toward multiyear highs also pressured stocks. The benchmark 10-year U.S. note yield rose to 2.88 percent, after hitting its highest level since 2014 last week. The short-term two-year note yield, meanwhile, traded around a nine-year high. Telecommunications companies also contributed to Tuesday’s drop after a federal judge ruled AT&T isn’t entitled to details of the Trump administration's internal discussions on the proposed merger with Time Warner. Shares of AT&T fell 1 percent, while Verizon Communications shed 2.5 percent. Wednesday’s release of minutes from the Federal Reserve’s January policy meeting, the last chaired by Janet Yellen, will be combed for clues to the central bank’s thinking on interest rates. Looking ahead, Philadelphia Federal Reserve Bank President Patrick Harker and Minneapolis Federal Reserve Bank President Neel Kashkari are due to deliver speeches this week. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 254.63 points, or 1.01 percent, to 24,964.75, the S&P 500 lost 15.96 points, or 0.58 percent, to 2,716.26 and the Nasdaq Composite dropped 5.16 points, or 0.07 percent, to 7,234.31.

- 21-Feb-18 N e w s I n B r i e f Economy Asia Moody 's Sees Robust Growth for Malaysia but leverage a Concern Moody's Investors Service sees robust growth for the Malaysian economy in 2018, averaging growth of 5.2%, but it is concerned about the debt level and how the government can further reduce the fiscal deficit. The rating agency said Malaysia's (A3 stable) credit profile is supported by its large and diversified economy, ample natural resources and robust mediumterm growth prospects. “However, Malaysia's elevated system-wide leverage — including in the household sector — poses credit challenges,” it said. Moody's said it expected the robust growth in 2017 would likely continue into 2018 and over the medium term, supporting the sovereign's credit profile. It said growth would be underpinned by a pipeline of large infrastructure projects that will stimulate public and private investment. “Although the trend of fiscal deficit reduction has been maintained, the implementation of further fiscal consolidation remains a major credit challenge. “That said, a favourable debt structure and large domestic savings help to mitigate risks arising from a high government debt burden,” it said. Moody's also noted that despite current account surpluses, Malaysia continues to be exposed to potential volatility in capital inflows, in part due to an active foreign investor presence. Foreign reserve adequacy remains low when compared with A-rated peers. (The Star) Australia's Consumer Confidence Weakens Further Australia's consumer confidence weakened for the second straight time during the week ended February 18, a weekly survey compiled by the ANZ bank and Roy Morgan Research showed Tuesday. The consumer confidence index dropped to 115.3 from 119.5 in the preceding week. Views towards current economic conditions fell 5.5 percent last week, bringing the sub-index to an eight-week low of 107.0. Similarly, perceptions of future economic conditions declined to a 13-week low of 106.3. (RTT) Singapore Wholesale Trade Rises In Q4 Singapore's domestic wholesale trade increased in the three months ended December, figures from the Department of Statistics showed. At current prices, domestic wholesale sales rose a seasonally adjusted 4.7% sequentially in the fourth quarter, reversing a 2.7% drop in the previous quarter. After removing price effect, overall domestic wholesale trade declined 2.7% over the previous quarter. Excluding petroleum, domestic wholesale trade grew 0.9% from the third quarter, when it fell by 0.6%. On an annual basis, growth in domestic wholesale trade eased sharply to 5.9% from 12.0%. Foreign wholesale trade expanded 4.9% quarterly and by 8.1% yearly in the fourth quarter. (RTT) Europe and Uni ted Kingdom Growth in UK Factory Orders Cools to Four-Month Low in February – CBI Growth in British factory orders cooled to a four-month low in February as exports slowed, although the overall picture of manufacturing remained healthy, a survey showed. The Confederation of British Industry’s (CBI) monthly order book balance eased to +10 from +14 in January, as expected in a poll of economists. British exporters have benefited from a pickup in the global economy and a fall in the value of the pound after the 2016 Brexit vote. “Although order books weren’t quite as buoyant as they were last month, demand remains strong and output grew briskly,” CBI head of economic intelligence Anna Leach said. “With the Brexit negotiations reaching a critical juncture, many businesses are concerned about future barriers to trade and are looking for clarity over the future relationship with the EU.” Earlier on Tuesday, the EEF manufacturing association said many companies were confused about what Britain’s exit from the European Union would mean for them. The CBI’s expected factory prices balance fell to +25 in February after hitting a 34-year high of +40 last month. (Reuters) Page 4 of 5
- 21-Feb-18 Eurozone Consumer Confidence Falls in Feb from 17-year High Eurozone consumer confidence fell by more than expected in February from a 17-year high in January , a flash estimate for the European Commission showed. The Commission said that consumer sentiment fell to 0.1 points from a revised 1.4 points in January. Economists polled by Reuters had on average expected a figure of 1.0. In the wider European Union, confidence also slipped - to -0.3 points from 0.4 points in January. Uncertainty about possible euro zone reforms and Italian elections and difficulties forming a German government have so far taken a backseat to improved economic factors with unemployment in the Eurozone at nine-year lows. (Reuters) German Economic Sentiment Falls Less Than Forecast Germany's economic confidence declined less-than-expected in January, survey results from the Mannheim-based think tank ZEW showed Tuesday. The ZEW Indicator of Economic Sentiment dropped to 17.8 points in February from 20.4 in January. Though the score was above the expected level of 16.0, it was below the long-term average of 23.7. The current conditions index fell to 92.3 from 95.2 in the previous month, but it was the second highest reading on record. The score was forecast to fall moderately to 94. February's small fall in German investor sentiment was unsurprising against a backdrop of falling equity prices and a strong euro, Jennifer McKeown, an economist at Capital Economics, noted. The fact that the majority of investors expect economic conditions to improve regardless is testament to the positive outlook for the broader economy, the economist said. (RTT) Germany's Producer Price Inflation Weakest in 1 Year Germany's producer price inflation eased to a 13-month low in January, figures from Destatis revealed. Producer price inflation slowed to 2.1% in January from 2.3% in December. This was the weakest since December 2016, when prices gained 1%. Nonetheless, the rate was bigger than the expected 1.8%. On a monthly basis, producer price growth rose to 0.5% from 0.2% a month ago. The rate came in line with expectations. Excluding energy, producer prices advanced 0.6% from December and climbed 2.1% from January 2017.

- RESULTS UPDATE Wednesday , February 21, 2018 FBMKLCI: 1,855.99 Sector: Consumer THIS REPORT IS STRICTLY FOR INTERNAL CIRCULATION ONLY* Nestle (Malaysia) Berhad TP: RM120.50 (-0.8%) Last Traded: RM121.50 Costs Optimisation Expanded Margins Damia Othman Tel: +603-2167-9602 Under Review damia@ta.com.my Review Nestle’s (Malaysia) Berhad’s FY17 adjusted net earnings came in slightly below our full-year forecast but within consensus’ estimates of 94% and 98% respectively. This was after excluding exceptional items of RM4.1mn. FY17 adjusted net profit improved by 7.7% YoY to RM641 due to: i) increase in revenue by 3.9% YoY to RM5.3bn and; ii) operating profit margin expanded by 1.1%-pts to 16% in FY17. The revenue increase was attributable to: i) stronger domestic and export sales of 4.1% and 3.0% respectively; ii) commendable contributions from new products i.e. NESCAFE Black Ice, MAGGI Hot Mealz and Nestum Mango Tango; as well as iii) continued investment in marketing-trade initiatives. Operating profit increased by 6.1% YoY to RM847.9mn on the back of i) effective costs management; and ii) efficient marketing-trade investments. 4QFY17 adjusted net profit increased by 12.9% QoQ to RM142.4mn despite revenue declining by 3.1% QoQ to RM1.3bn. This was due to less marketing expenses as compared to 4QFY16 due to the early Chinese New Year last year, coupled with continued efforts in costs optimisation. Net profit margin improved by 1.6%-pts QoQ to 11.1%. The board declared a final single-tier dividend of 135.0sen/share, bringing the YTD FY17 total dividend to 275.0sen/share. Impact No change to our earnings forecast pending analyst briefing this Thursday. Outlook We expect Nestle to continue benefitting from declining soft-commodity prices like skimmed-milk powder, cocoa and coffee. Also, the strengthening of the Ringgit will provide earnings support and lift to FY18 margins. Nestle focus on “Fuel The Growth” strategy has resulted in higher operational efficiency, which can be evidenced by the increase in margins. Essentially, the company will re-invest the cost savings into the group’s product portfolio to solidify its trade and consumer promotions for a sustainable growth. www.taonline.com.my Share Information Bloomberg Code Stock Code Listing Share Cap (mn) Market Cap (RMmn) Par Value (RM) 52-wk Hi/Lo (RM) 12-mth Avg Daily Vol ('000 shrs) Estimated Free Float (%) Beta Major Shareholders (%) Nestle SA EPF NESZ MK 4707 Main Market 234.5 28,491.8 1.00 121.50/75.40 35.7 14.6 0.5 72.61 6.98 Forecast Revision Forecast Revision (%) Net profit (RMmn) Consensus TA's / Consensus (%) Previous Rating FY18 FY19 0.0 0.0 774.1 876.5 714.3 772.1 108 114 Buy (Under Review) Financial Indicators Net debt/equity (%) ROE (%) ROA (%) NTA/Share (x) Price/ NTA (x) FY18 45.4 106.1 28.2 2.8 43.3 FY19 28.5 108.2 31.2 3.1 38.7 % of FY17 94 98 Below Within Nestle 14.7 34.8 43.7 59.9 FBM KLCI 1.5 7.9 4.8 8.8 Scorecard vs. TA vs. Consensus Share Performance (%) Price Change 1 mth 3 mth 6 mth 12 mth (12-Mth) Share Price relative to the FBMKLCI In 2Q18, Nestle is expected to commission a second National Distribution Centre (NDC), where the capacity is 20% higher than the current NDC to support future demand growth.

- RESULTS UPDATE Wednesday , February 21, 2018 FBMKLCI: 1,855.99 Sector: Oil & Gas THIS REPORT IS STRICTLY FOR INTERNAL CIRCULATION ONLY* Petronas Chemicals Group Bhd TP: RM8.84 (+9.2%) Last Traded: RM8.10 Ending FY17 on a Good Note Kylie Chan Sze Zan Tel: +603-2167 9601 HOLD kyliechan @ta.com.my Review Petronas Chemicals Group’s (Pet Chem) FY17 core profit of RM4.2bn (+35% YTD) was within our expectations but surpassed consensus estimates by 7%. www.taonline.com.my Share Information Bloomberg Code Share Cap (mn) FY17 production and sales volumes surged despite lower plant utilization (PU) of 93% (FY16: 96%) (Figure 1). This was attributed to SAMUR’s startup in May-17, which contributed a chunky 46% of total group’s urea production. Evidently, urea volumes spiked 62% YTD. Estimated Free Float (%) Lower taxes were attributed to GIFT tax incentives at Labuan, coupled with one-off tax allowance for SAMUR in 3Q17. This more than offset recognition of deferred tax liabilities for SAMUR in 4Q17. 5218 Listing Overall FY17 was a good year for Pet Chem, underpinned by: 1) stronger product prices, 2) higher sales volumes (+11%), 3) higher production (+10%), 4) stronger USD, and 5) lower taxes, with effective tax rate of 16% (FY16: 22%). FY17 PU was dragged by statutory plant turnarounds (TA) at the ammonia, MTBE and derivatives plants. In 4Q17, there was also a mini TA for PC Methanol (PCM) Plant 1, and corrective maintenance at PCM Plant 2.

The group recognised depreciation costs for the plant although production has yet to fully ramp-up. We expect FY18 results to be stronger, due to full-year contribution from SAMUR (start: May-17), coupled with higher product prices. However, this would be partially offset by lower PU arising from heavy statutory TA, particularly at PChem’s ethylene cracker. Pet Chem declared 2nd interim DPS of 15 sen (4Q16: 12 sen), thus bringing FY17 DPS to 27 sen (FY16: 19 sen). This implies a 52% payout, similar to FY16. Key Takeaways from Conference Call Operations at the 60:40 BASF-Pet Chem Citral plant are stabilising, whilst the Citronellol and L-menthol plants are on-track for phased commissioning in FY18. % of FY vs TA vs Consensus 99 Within 107 Above Financial Indicators Net Debt/Equity (x) FY18 FY19 Net Cash Net Cash ROA (%) 12.0 11.5 ROE (%) 13.5 12.8 NTA/Share (RM) 3.9 4.2 P/NTA (x) 2.1 1.9 Share Performance Price Change (%) PCHEM FBMKLCI 1 mth 0.0 1.5 3 mth 11.3 8.0 6 mth 12.8 4.5 12 mth 8.3 8.4 (12-Mth) Share Price relative to the FBMKLCI In 1H18, the MTBE plant (capacity: 300k tpa) at Gebeng IPC will undergo plant TA. Meanwhile, plants that will undergo major statutory TA in 2H18 include: 1) Ethylene Cracker 1, 2) Asean Bintulu Fertilizer, and 3) Methanol plant. In spite of this, management maintains its FY18 guidance of PU exceeding 90%. Source: Bloomberg Page 1 of 4
- 21-Feb-18 Impact We incorporate FY17 earnings and management ’s fresh guidance into our forecasts. This has resulted in: 1) increase in dividend payout to 50% (previous: 40%), 2) lower tax rate of 16% (previous: 18%), and 3) tweak in PU levels. Also, we change our FY18-19 ringgit assumption to USD/MYR assumption to 4.00 (previous: 4.15). As a result, our FY18/19 forecasts are raised by 6%/2%. Valuation Following the revision to our forecasts, our TP for Pet Chem is raised to RM8.84 (previous: RM8.05) based on unchanged 11.5x FY18 EV/EBITDA. Maintain Hold. We believe that Pet Chem is unable to fully leverage on stronger product prices, due to heavy statutory TA in FY18, particularly at the group’s upstream ethylene cracker. The latter will cause associated downstream plants to be shut down in tandem. Additionally, margins will also be squeezed given that spreads are higher for ethane-based products. Furthermore, FY17’s robust earnings growth would unlikely be replicated in FY18, as the prior year was boosted by: 1) one-off SAMUR tax allowances, 2) surprise dip in taxes due to GIFT tax incentives, and 3) exceptionally high plant utilisation in FY17. On top of that, we believe sentiment on the stock is largely influenced by operational performance, particularly PU levels.

The technical BUY/SELL signals on the last four columns are auto generated; the first two being existing or recent signals while the last two represent a signal change from BUY to SELL or the reverse, otherwise no change is indicated by a dash. INTERPRETATION OF TECHNICAL INDICATORS: Bollinger Bands: Variable width bands that narrow during less volatile periods and widen during more volatile periods. As a general rule, in a bearish trend, traders should buy when share price touches the lower band and exit when price touches the middle band. The reverse is true in a bullish trend, ie. Buy when price touches the middle band and sell when price touches the upper band. Momentum traders tend to buy on price breakouts above the upper band, and sell when price breaks down below the lower band. 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI): A reading below 30 is considered oversold, above 70 is overbought. A rise above 50 with a corresponding share price surge above the 30-day moving average should be taken as a bullish move with good short-term upside potential. A fall below 50 and a simultaneous dip below the 30-day average is bearish and imply further near-term downside risk. Moving Averages: A stock’s short-term trend is bullish if share price stays above the 10-day moving average, and bearish if it stays below. The medium-term trend is positive if share price stays above the 30-day average, and negative if it remains below. A longer-term uptrend is intact if share price sustain above the 50-day average, and is deemed broken if it breaches below this level. Directional Movement Indicator (DMI): The DMI is an indicator of trend strength. A positive DMI difference (DMI diff) value is bullish and indicate a higher DI+ vs. DI-, while a negative DMI diff is bearish due to a lower DI+ vs. DI- (DMI diff = DI+ minus DI-). A crossover of DI+ above DI- triggers a BUY signal, while a SELL signal is flashed when the DI+ crosses below the DI-. The Average Directional Movement Index (ADX) indicates the strength of a trend, whether it is up or down. The higher the value of ADX, the stronger the trend. An ADX value above 25 suggests a trending market or stock, while a value below 20 signal congestion or absence of trend. Daily Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD): The MACD diff value is derived from the difference between the MACD line (the 12-day EMA minus the 26-day EMA) and the MACD signal line (the 9-day EMA of the MACD). A positive MACD diff value is bullish, while a negative MACD diff is bearish. A BUY signal is generated when the MACD diff rises above zero, and SELL signal sparked when the MACD diff value falls below zero. Page 1 of 3

Money Flow (MF) Calculation The value of money flow is set to zero at the start of the trading day. When a trade is performed, its price is compared to the price of the previous trade (the first trade of the day is compared to the previous day's close). If the prices differ, the money associated with the trade (price times number of shares) is added to or subtracted from the money flow. Additions (inflows, buys) are done on upticks; subtractions (outflows, sells) are done on downticks. Daily Money Flow (DMF) Interpretation In general, money flow trends confirm price trends. As prices rise, money flows are usually positive. As prices fall, money flows are usually negative. A divergence, however, between money flow and price trend can be a signal of a future price trend change. For example, a falling stock price with a positive money flow (IN) can indicate a future rally in the price of the stock. Conversely, a rising stock price with a negative money flow (OUT) implies potential correction in the stock price.

This is a good watch list for momentum traders looking for short-term BUY ideas, as they are laggards with good upside potential towards the upper Bollinger band or higher to TAKE PROFIT/SELL. Caveat: Some stocks may continue to stay range bound and trade sideways, hence traders should refer to their respective charts to spot accumulation (volume growth) or breakout patterns. INTERPRETATION OF TECHNICAL INDICATORS: Moving Averages: A stock’s short-term trend is bullish if share price stays above the 10-day moving average, and bearish if it stays below. The medium-term trend is positive if share price stays above the 30-day, and negative if it remains below this average. 14-day RSI: A reading below 30 is considered oversold, above 70 is overbought. A rise above 50 with a corresponding share price surge above the 30-day SMA should be taken as a bullish move with good short-term upside potential. A fall below 50 and a simultaneous dip below the 30-day SMA is bearish and imply further near-term downside risk. Bollinger Bands: Variable width bands that narrow during less volatile periods and widen during more volatile periods. As a general rule, in a bearish trend, traders should buy when share price touches the lower band and exit when price touches the middle band. The reverse is true in a bullish trend, ie. Buy when price touches the middle band and sell when price touches the upper band. Momentum traders will buy on price breaks above the upper band, and sell when price breaks below the lower band. Alternatively, a sharp move that originates at one band tends to go all the way to the other band, a useful observation when projecting price targets. Page 1 of 2
