Immediate upside hurdle rest at upper Bollinger band (RM4.62). Political Uncertainty Weight on Asian Market Major Asian indexes were mixed on Monday trade after elections in Germany and New Zealand set the stage for periods of political uncertainty in both countries. Chancellor Angela Merkel’s conservative alliance won Sunday’s German election, essentially guaranteeing her a fourth term as chancellor, though a strong showing for the nationalist Alternative for Germany party suggests Europe’s largest economy could face political turbulence. On New Zealand front, the ruling National Party won the largest number votes in Saturday’s election but without a ruling majority and now faces a round of coalition building that could last days or weeks. Japan’s Nikkei share average rose on Monday as a weaker yen lifted exporters, while expectations of economic stimulus measures after an election next month supported overall sentiment. The Nikkei ended up 0.5 percent at 20,397.58. In down under, the S&P/ASX 200 advanced 0.02 percent, with the industrials and health care sub-indexes leading gains. Across the Korean Strait, the Kospi reversed early gains to slide 0.36 percent, falling for the fifth straight session in a row. Meanwhile, China stocks also fell on Monday, as developers slumped after a new round of government curbs to rein in the heated housing market. The blue-chip CSI300 index fell 0.5 percent, to 3,817.79 points, while the Shanghai Composite Index lost 0.3 percent to 3,341.55 points. Page 1 of 7
  4. 26-Sep-17 Technology Sector Drag Wall Street Lower U .S. stocks fell on Monday as selling in large-cap technology shares intensified, after North Korea accused the United States of having declared war on the isolated country. North Korea’s foreign minister said in a statement at the United Nations that U.S. President Donald Trump's latest comments amounted to declaring war on North Korea. Facebook was among the biggest decliners in the S&P 500 technology sector and the broader index, shedding 4.5 percent, to 162.87, its largest percentage decline since November. Meanwhile, shares of energy companies rose with oil prices, as U.S. crude for November delivery jumped 3.1 percent to USD52.22 a barrel, notching oil’s eighth gain in 11 sessions. Oil prices have rebounded recently as data have suggested an easing of a global supply glut and analysts have said the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries looks likely to extend its production-cut deal. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 53.5 points, or 0.24 percent, to 22,296.09, the S&P 500 lost 5.56 points, or 0.22 percent, to 2,496.66 and the Nasdaq Composite dropped 56.33 points, or 0.88 percent, to 6,370.59.

  5. 26-Sep-17 N e w s I n B r i e f Corporate MISC Bhd plans to dispose of its 45 % equity interest in Centralised Terminals Sdn Bhd (CTSB) to Dialog Group Bhd for RM193mn. CTSB owns an 80% stake in Langsat Terminal (One) Sdn Bhd and Langsat Terminal (Two) Sdn Bhd, which are centralised tankage and tank terminal facilities serving the oil, gas and petrochemical industry in Johor. (Bursa Malaysia) Comments: We are largely neutral on this announcement given limited financial impact, and because management has expressly articulated its strategy to divest non-core businesses. Recall that back in Aug-15, MISC disposed its 50% stake in VTTI tank terminals to Vitol Group for USD830mn. The disposal of CTSB marks MISC's complete exit from the tank terminal business. We estimate that CTSB has negligible contribution to MISC's bottomline. Nevertheless, the cash proceeds of RM137mn (less repayment of shareholder’s advances by Dialog) will boost MISC's dividend capacity. To recap, we estimate stable FY17E DPS of 30 sen (RM1.3bn payout) despite near term earnings weakness. This is underpinned by current healthy net gearing of 0.2x (net debt: RM5.9bn). Maintain Sell with TP of RM6.56. Lotte Chemical Titan Holding Bhd said that the damage caused by a fire at the site of its new TE3 project in Pasir Gudang, Johor last Wednesday (Sept 20) is minimal, with losses estimated at not more than RM50K to replace burnt cables. It has resumed the preparation of the TE3 project for commissioning and the commercial startup is on target by 4QCY17. (Bursa Malaysia) Comments: This announcement is within our expectations (please refer to report dated 25th Sept). There is a possibility the cost of RM50K to replace burnt cables may be capitalized, or potentially claimed from TE3's contractor or insurance. Nevertheless, in the worst case scenario that the cost will be charged to TTNP's profit, the impact will be minimal, at 0.005% of FY17E bottomline. We maintain our TP: RM6.88 and Buy recommendation. Prasarana Malaysia Bhd and Singapore-based SMRT Corp Ltd have signed a memorandum of understanding to set up a joint-venture company as the operating company for the Johor Bahru-Singapore Rapid Transit System Link. (Bernama) SP Setia Bhd has raised RM434mn under a sukuk programme with a nominal value of up to same sum, to part finance the purchase of five parcels of freehold land in Seberang Perai, Penang. The sukuk programme will have a tenure of up to 10 years from the date of the first issue. (Bursa Malaysia) Alliance Bank Malaysia Bhd will assume the listing status of Alliance Financial Group Bhd (AFG) on the Main Market of Bursa Malaysia beginning 26 Sept, following which AFG will be delisted. (Bursa Malaysia) AirAsia Bhd said two additional parties 1) Singapore-listed Plato Capital Ltd and 2) private equity firm Oxley Capital Ltd are keen to partner the group and China Everbright Group in setting up a low-cost carrier in China known as AirAsia (China). (The Edge) Damansara Realty Bhd's 95.5%-owned TMR Urusharta (M) Sdn Bhd and Kumpulan Perubatan (Johor) Sdn Bhd has won a RM27.6mn contract to provide medical services for development facilities for Petronas' Refinery and Petrochemical Integrated Development project in Pengerang, Johor. It will provide the management of medical services for 39 months from Sept 25, with additional optional services worth RM7.8mn. (Bursa Malaysia) Iris Corp Bhd and Dipon Gulf Infotech Consultancy LLC have agreed to an out-of-court settlement for a sum of RM16.1mn and costs of RM65K at a rate of 5% per year, which will be formalised in a deed of settlement. The settlement is for Dipon's commercial suit for money allegedly owed by Iris for a machine readable passport project in United Arab States Page 3 of 7
  6. 26-Sep-17 and in Saudi Arabia . (Bursa Malaysia) FoundPac Group Bhd is acquiring a 75% stake in laser stencils maker Dynamic Stencil Sdn Bhd for RM16.5mn, to expand its product offering in the electrical and electronics segment. The purchase will be funded via internal funds. (Bursa Malaysia) Ho Wah Genting Bhd is teaming up with Switzerland's Dufry Group to jointly operate a duty-free shop in SkyAvenue mall at Genting Highlands Resort, Pahang. It entered into a shareholders agreement with Dufry International AG, a member of Dufry Group, to incorporate a joint venture company for the operation of the duty-free shop. (Bursa Malaysia) HLT Global Bhd is planning a 1-for-2 bonus issuance of up to 133.0mn new shares in the company, on an entitlement date to be determined later. It also proposed to issue up to 199.4mn free warrants, on the basis of three warrants for every four HLT Global shares held on the same entitlement date. (Bursa Malaysia) PLB Engineering Bhd has proposed a 1-for-4 bonus issue of up to 22.8mn shares. The exercise intends to reward its shareholders and increase trading liquidity of the shares on the market. (Bursa Malaysia) Idimension Consolidated Bhd is planning to place out new shares to third party investors to raise up to RM4.8mn, which plans to use mainly as its working capital. The gross proceeds is based on the assumption that the placement shares are placed out at an indicative issue price of 6.5 sen per placement share. (Bursa Malaysia) Poh Huat Resources Holdings Bhd's 3QFY17 profit slipped 3.4% to RM9.7mn from RM10.0mn due to foreign exchange losses. For 9MFY17, it posted a net profit of RM37.9mn an improvement of 35.4% compared with RM28.0mn recorded over the same period of the previous year due to sustained demand for furniture in the US market. (Bursa Malaysia) Bison Consolidated Bhd reported a 52.2% growth in its net profit for 3QFY17 to RM6.2mn from RM4.1mn a year ago. The management of its products and service offerings as well as collaborations with suppliers helped boost its earnings. Net profit for 9MFY17 increased 35.5% to RM18.7mn from RM13.8mn in 9MFY16. (Bursa Malaysia) Comintel Corp Bhd posted a 11% decline in net profit for 2QFY18 to RM2.2mn, from RM2.5mn a year ago, mainly on higher losses recorded by its system integration and maintenance services segment. For the 6MFY18, its net profit fell 40% to RM4.7mn, from RM7.9mn. (Bursa Malaysia) Page 4 of 7
  7. 26-Sep-17 N e w s I n B r i e f Economy Asia Japan PM Abe Announces $17.8bn Economic Stimulus Package Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe ordered his cabinet to compile new economic stimulus measures in a package worth around 2tn yen ($17.80bn) by the end of the year. Speaking at a meeting with his top advisory panel, Abe said the package should focus on subsidizing education, child-care costs, and on boosting corporate investments to improve productivity. Abe is expected to announce a snap election to take advantage of improved ratings and disorganized opposition parties, and the stimulus package could be a way to lure voters during the election campaign. Other news in Japan: • The manufacturing sector in Japan continued to expand in September, and at a faster rate, the latest survey from Nikkei with a four-month high manufacturing PMI score of 52.6. That's up from 52.2 in August, and it moves further above the boom-or-bust line of 50 that separates expansion from contraction. • Japan's government maintained its economic assessment for September, saying the economy is on a moderate recovery. In its monthly report, the Cabinet Office retained its view on private consumption, business investment, exports, industrial production, corporate profits and employment situation. The government last raised its overall assessment in June. The government expects the economy to recover, supported by the effects of the policies, while employment and income situation is improving. However, attention should be given to the uncertainty in overseas economies and the effects of fluctuations in the financial and capital markets, the government added. (RTT News/Reuters) Singapore's August Headline Inflation at 0.4%, Coming in Below Expectations Both Singapore's headline and core inflation came in lower than expected in August, based on the latest data by the Department of Statistics. The all-items consumer price index (CPI) was up 0.4% YoY, moderating from July's 0.6%, reflecting a fall in private road transport inflation, and to a lesser extent, an easing in food and retail inflation. Collectively, they more than offset the smaller decline in the cost of accommodation. Core inflation, which excludes the costs of accommodation and private road transport, stood at 1.4% in August, easing from 1.6% in the previous month, due to lower food and retail inflation. (The Business Times) China's Slipping Export Crown Could Be Saved by Technology China’s portion of the global export pie has shrunk from a high of almost 17 percent reached in December 2015, International Monetary Fund data show. The pullback is driven mainly by the growth of shipments from commodity-exporting nations like Brazil and Australia amid rising prices for staples like iron ore and bauxite, according to economists from Oxford Economics and TCW Group Inc. Another factor is global demand tilting more to advanced machinery and cars, segments where China is just beginning to emerge as a competitor, says HSBC Holdings Plc. Beijing’s drive to create national champions, subsidize emerging industries, and force technology transfers from foreign firms in the country has prompted U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer to say it’s an unprecedented threat to the world trading system. Despite the smaller share of global exports, the "Made in China 2025" policy blueprint envisions global competitiveness by that year across 10 key industries from robots to medical devices.

  8. 26-Sep-17 United States U .S. Economic Expansion is Unevenly Spread, Study Says The U.S. economic expansion is lifting a handful of vibrant communities to new heights but also leaving broad tracts of the country stagnant or sinking, according to a new report. The study, by the Economic Innovation Group, finds that a small number of high-growth cities and towns are fueling U.S. growth and masking economic struggles in decaying industrial towns, swaths of the rural South and other areas of the country. “The prime years of the national economic recovery bypassed many of America’s most vulnerable places altogether, “the report said. “Far from achieving even anemic growth from 2011 to 2015, distressed communities instead experienced what amounts to a deep ongoing recession.” The Washington policy group set up shop in 2015 with funding from Silicon Valley, tech and financial entrepreneurs, and an advisory board that included Kevin Hassett, now President Donald Trump’s top economist, and Austan Goolsbee, a former chairman of President Barack Obama’s Council of Economic Advisers. Much of the group’s work focuses on how business in the private sector can help distressed communities. EIG’s latest findings concerning health statistics are especially stark. On average, residents of the distressed counties die almost five years younger than residents of the most prosperous counties. Mortality rates from mental and substance abuse disorders are 64% higher in distressed counties than prosperous ones. Cancer, pregnancy complications, suicides and violence also contribute to the elevated mortality rate. The U.S. economy has added more than 16 million jobs since 2010, the unemployment rate is hovering near its lowest level in a decade, household incomes set a record last year and the share of Americans living in poverty is back to levels last seen in 2007. (The Wall Street Journal) Fed Unwinding a Sign of Confidence in World Economy The decision by the US Federal Reserve to start unwinding its US$4.2tn of bonds, despite inflation remaining low, is a sign of confidence in the growth prospects of the world economy. However, the rebound in the greenback, if sustained in the near term, could cast a slight downward pressure on emerging market currencies, including the ringgit. Starting next month, the Fed will begin to reduce its US$4.2tn in holdings of US Treasury bonds and mortgage-backed securities by initially cutting up to US$10bn each month from the amount of maturing securities it reinvests. That action will start a gradual reversal of the three rounds of quantitative easing (QE) the Fed pursued between 2008 and 2014 to stimulate the economy after the 2007-2009 financial crisis, according to a Reuters report. (QE refers to the Fed’s purchase of government securities from the market in order to lower interest rates and increase money supply). The limit on reinvestment is scheduled to increase by US$10bn every three months to a maximum of US$50bn per month until the central bank’s overall balance sheet falls by perhaps US$1tn or more in the coming years, the Reuters report said. (The Star/Reuters) Europe and Uni ted Kingdom ECB's Draghi Growing Confident About Inflation Rebound The European Central Bank is growing increasingly confident that inflation will rise back to its target but patience is still needed, ECB President Mario Draghi said. Draghi singled out currency volatility as a source of uncertainty which requires monitoring and argued that the economy still needed to absorb slack, requiring “ample” ECB accommodation. “Overall, we are becoming more confident that inflation will eventually head to levels in line with our inflation aim, but we also know that a very substantial degree of monetary accommodation is still needed for the upward inflation path to materialize,” Draghi told the European Parliament’s committee on economic affairs. With the Eurozone economy now growing for the 17th straight quarter, the ECB is expected to reduce stimulus from next year, even if inflation will remain below the bank near 2% target for years to come. Indeed, policymakers speaking to Reuters said that the debate is now about the details of the policy shift, such as whether to keep quantitative easing open ended or whether to signal an intent to phase out bond purchases. Launched two and a half years ago, the ECB’s 2.3 trillion euro bond purchase scheme has depressed borrowing costs and helped revive spending and growth with the bloc creating over 7 million jobs since the worst days of Europe’s debt crisis. But inflation has been unexpectedly slow to respond, leaving the ECB Page 6 of 7
  9. 26-Sep-17 with a dilemma as keeping price growth just below 2 % is its sole mandate. (Reuters) BOE Raises Alarm Over Growth of Consumer Borrowing in U.K. Bank of England officials reiterated warnings about the rapid growth of household borrowing in the U.K. The BOE’s Financial Policy Committee, which spots risks to the stability of the financial system, said in a quarterly policy statement that speedy growth in consumer credit represents “a pocket of risk” in an otherwise benign borrowing environment. The panel said that if borrowers were to default on 20% of the loans they’ve taken out, banks would be saddled with losses of around £30 billion ($40.5 billion). Though recent growth in consumer credit isn’t a risk to the overall economy, “it is a risk to banks’ ability to withstand severe economic downturns, because this asset class is disproportionately more likely to default,” the panel said. Officials said they intend to look at the risks around consumer credit in more detail in upcoming stress tests for banks due late November. On the global front, the FPC said risks to financial stability from heavy indebtedness and geopolitical tensions have risen since its previous quarterly outlook in June. Financial vulnerabilities in China remain pronounced, it said. The panel said it is continuing to identify and monitor possible risks to the financial system from Britain’s looming exit from the European Union. Those risks include cross-border contracts, in particular insurance and derivatives; restrictions on sharing of personal data between the EU and United Kingdom; and restrictions after Brexit on cross-border banking, and asset management provision. (The Wall Street Journal) German Business Confidence Unexpectedly Drops for Second Month German business confidence unexpectedly weakened for a second month in September, in a sign that Europe’s largest economy may struggle to improve on its current brisk pace of expansion. The Ifo Institute’s gauge of business sentiment dropped to 115.2 in September. While that’s still near a record high, it’s down from 115.9 in August and compares with a median forecast by economists for an increase to 116. The Bundesbank said this month that third-quarter growth momentum will be “slightly” lower than in the first half. Ifo’s survey highlights the uncertainty facing German businesses as the economy grows near its capacity, a stronger euro weighs on exports, and the European Central Bank starts discussions on paring back stimulus for the euro zone. Ifo’s measure of current economic conditions worsened to 123.6 from a revised 124.7, and a gauge of expectations fell to 107.4 from a revised 107.8.

RESULTS UPDATE Tuesday , September 26, 2017 FBMKLCI: 1,769.14 Sector: Consumer THIS REPORT IS STRICTLY FOR INTERNAL CIRCULATION ONLY* TP: RM2.50 (+27.6%) Poh Huat Resources Holdings Berhad Last Traded: RM1.96 On Track for Record Year Ooi Beng Hooi Tel: +603-2167 9612 BUY benghooi@ta.com.my Review Excluding RM1.1mn of partial write-back previously impaired for the disposal of factory land and buildings in Qingdao, China, Pohuat’s 9MFY17 core profit of RM35.8mn accounted for 61.1% of our FY17 full-year estimate. We deem the results to be within expectation as Pohuat is expected to deliver strong 4Q results. As a reference, the 4Q core profit made up 47.4% and 37.6% of FY15 and FY16 full-year core profit respectively. An interim dividend of 2sen/share (3QFY16: 2sen/share) plus a special interim dividend of 1sen/share (3QFY16: nil) were declared, bringing the YTD dividend declared to 5sen/share (9MFY16: 6sen/share). www.taonline.com.my Share Information Bloomberg Code Bursa Stock Code Listing Share Cap (mn) Market Cap (RMmn) 52-wk Hi/Lo (RM) 12-mth Avg Daily Vol ('000 shrs) Estimated Free Float (%) Beta Major Shareholders (%) PHR MK POHUAT 7088 Main Market 213.9 419.3 2.06/1.50 355.4 37.1 0.7 Tay Kim Huat - 24.06 Lim Pei Tiam - 13.34 Forecast Revision YoY, 9MFY17 net profit surged 28.1% to RM35.8mn, backed by 15.5% jump in revenue to RM442.6mn and better margin (operating margin +1.3% pts to 10.5%). Versus 3QFY16, the core profit dropped 24.3% to RM7.5mn despite revenue was 20.6% higher at RM151.5mn as the margin was impacted by higher raw material costs, stronger Ringgit, higher labour costs in Vietnam, higher logistics costs and marketing expenses, weaker selling prices for older products and lower efficiency resulted from commencement of several new ranges of bedroom sets. QoQ, the net profit was 28.9% lower at RM7.5mn, largely due to higher material costs and higher labour costs at the plants in Vietnam.

SELL SELL BUY S E LL S E LL S E LL The table above is a compilation of actively traded stocks with some popular technical indicators. 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 30day 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 4
  17. 26-Sep-17 Technical Comments : Sell Affin & AMMB Technically, weakening trend indicators implies further correction potential on Affin Holdings shares towards the 50%FR (RM2.54), with better supports seen at the lower Bollinger band (RM2.50) and 38.2%FR (RM2.43), upon a breakdown.

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
  19. *Note: To qualify in the breakout list below, the first sorting criteria is stock price must close ABOVE the upper Bollinger Band, followed by a second criteria that trading volume for the day must be significantly higher than the 20-day average volume, which signal a bullish breakout. Caveat: We would caution momentum traders that a highly overbought 14-day RSI reading (> 80) and share price pullback BELOW the upper Bollinger Band are early warning signals to exit buy breakout trades.
