Supermax Corp - Results continue to be weak

9MFY14’s net profit came in below our (67% of FY14 forecast) and consensus’ estimates (64%). Weak associate contribution, forex losses and higher costs incurred for its new and Alor Gajah factories dragged down its 3Q numbers. 9MFY14’s revenue was impacted by the weak 1H sales volume, while net profit was dragged down by weak associate contribution, forex losses and a higher effective tax rate despite lower operating expenses. We cut our FY14-16 EPS by 12-18%. This lowers our target price (12.4x P/E, 30% discount to Hartalega) which we roll over to 2016. We downgrade the stock to Hold from Add due to the underperformance and lack of transparency. Supermax declared an interim dividend of 2sen/share, in line with our forecast. We prefer Kossan.

MISC Bhd - On the crest of a wave in 4Q14

At 73% of our and 71% of consensus’ full-year expectations, MISC's 9M14 core earnings were in line. Petroleum and chemical tanker losses look poised to narrow further in 4Q14 as we head into a seasonally-strong quarter with the benefit of lower bunker prices. FPSO Cendor will also contribute to profits beginning 4Q14. We make minor changes to our EPS estimates and keep our SOP-based target price. We maintain Add, with rerating catalysts that include improving relations with Petronas and brighter petroleum tanker prospects.

We are surprised that the group anticipates its log production, which unexpectedly rose 33% yoy in 9M14 due to good weather at its concession sites and an adjustment to its logging programme, to sustain in the future years.

Global Economic News

China's commerce minister said trade ministers at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) forum had agreed on a study to eventually create a regional free-trade pact that China has pushed for.

China, APEC's host this year, had been pushing for more concrete action--in particular, approval of a feasibility study--on the proposed Free Trade Area of the Asia Pacific (FTAAP), according to trade officials.

But the US was able to block those initiatives, the officials said, because it worried that could impede progress on completing a separate pact, the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP).

The study the ministers did approve pushes off concrete action for at least two years.

A statement didn't give a target for launching the FTAAP, only that ministers agreed to a "goal of establishing the FTAAP as soon as possible." (WSJ)

US employers added 214,000 workers to payrolls in Oct (+256,000 in Sep). Unemployment rate fell to a six-year low of 5.8% in Oct (5.9% in Sep). Labour force participation rate recorded 62.8% in Oct (62.7% in Sep). (Bloomberg)

US consumer credit rose US$15.9bn (US$14.0bn in Aug). (Bloomberg)

US Federal Reserve Chairwoman Janet Yellen said the central bank could trigger some financial turbulence when it starts raising short-term interest rates from near zero, where they have been pinned for six years, but added that the Fed will try to limit such volatility by communicating its interest rate plans clearly. (WSJ)

US Federal Reserve Bank of New York President William Dudley warned there may be "bumps in the road" when the US central bank begins to raise short-term interest rates in what is likely to be 2015.

While a rate increase would be a "very welcome development" signalling US economic health, "this shift in policy will undoubtedly be accompanied by some degree of market turbulence," he said. (WSJ)

US Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago President Charles Evans said the “labour market is firming,” with labour-market slack “definitely diminishing.” He said the drop in joblessness was “good news,” even as “we’ve got some distance to go.” (Bloomberg)

The US Federal Reserve will need to keep interest rates low for "several (maybe many) more years," Minneapolis Fed President Narayana Kocherlakota said, but added that the risk that low rates will destabilize financial markets and spark a crisis is small enough that it should not affect monetary policy choices. (Reuters)

Policy at the US Federal Reserve is keeping pace with developments in the economy and the Fed is not falling behind the curve in planning its first interest rate increase, Cleveland Fed president Loretta Mester said.

She said she forecast 3% growth "for the next couple of years," and that it would likely be appropriate to raise interest rates sometime next year. (Reuters)

European Central Bank (ECB) board member Christian Noyer said there is a risk that low interest rates in the euro zone are discouraging governments from taking action to repair their economies. "Such risks are very real in the euro area," he added. (WSJ)

The Conference Board Leading Economic Index (LEI) for Japan increased 0.3% mom in Sep to 97.8 (+0.1% mom in Aug). The Coincident Economic Index (CEI) increased 0.4% mom in Sep to 95.3 (-0.2% mom in Aug). (Conference Board)

China’s exports increased 11.6% yoy in Oct (+15.3% yoy in Sep). Imports rose 4.6% yoy (+7.0% yoy in Sep), leaving a trade surplus of US$45.4bn in Oct (US$30.96bn in Sep). (Bloomberg)

China President Xi Jinping signalled China is ready to accept a lower rate of growth, assuring executives that the economy is more resilient than ever and his government can safely guide the country through any slowdown.

“Even a growth rate of about 7% will put China among the top performers in the world in terms of both speed and size,” he said, adding that “risks are indeed there but they’re not that scary.” (Bloomberg)

China's external trade environment may slightly improve in 2015 but still face risks and uncertainties, the Ministry of Commerce said.

"It's difficult for external demand to show a significant rebound," the ministry said, adding that China's economy still faced downward pressure. (Reuters)

Reserve Bank of India (RBI) governor Raghuram Rajan raised doubts about whether additional stimulus is needed to boost global economic growth, saying it is unrealistic to assume that growth can return to pre-crisis rates.

He urged central bankers to resist pressure from politicians to get economic growth back to rates seen below the global financial crisis in 2008.

If finance officials focus too much on boosting growth beyond the capacity of economies to expand, they risk making the same errors that led to the global financial crisis, he said. (WSJ)

The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) said the nation’s economy is set to remain subdued and warned Japan’s monetary policy could spur flows that support the local dollar.

“GDP growth is still expected to be below trend until mid-2015,” the RBA said in its quarterly monetary policy statement, and projects the economy will grow at between 2% to 3% in the year through Jun 2015, unchanged from its Aug statement. (Bloomberg)

South Korean authorities won't sit on their hands while a tumbling yen undercuts the country's export competitiveness, Bank of Korea (BOK) Governor Lee Ju-yeol said, but policymakers could be reluctant to reduce interest rates, and currency intervention offers limited relief.

He said that while there are limitations to South Korea's ability to counter the weakening yen, "we will not stand pat."

A finance ministry official also said that the government will work toward keeping the won from moving out of sync with global exchange rates, an indication it will not target the yen specifically. (Reuters)

Hong Kong’s international reserves recorded US$325.4bn in end-Oct (US$325.8bn in end-Sep). (Bloomberg)

Taiwan’s exports in Oct was up 0.7% yoy (+4.7% yoy in Sep). Imports fell 1.4% yoy in Oct (0.2% yoy in Sep). Oct’s trade surplus increased to US$4.62bn (US$3.5bn surplus in Sep). (WSJ)

Singapore’s foreign exchange reserves fell to US$264.38n in Oct (US$266.14bn in Sep). (Bloomberg)

Bank Indonesia (BI) recorded a slight increase in foreign exchange reserves, climbing to US$112bn at the end of Oct (US$111.16bn in Sep). (Jakarta Post)

Philippine foreign reserves narrowed to US$79.3bn in Oct (US$79.6bn in Sep), largely on gold valuations and foreign exchange obligations. (GMA)

Steps taken this year by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) will be enough to damp risk in the domestic property sector, BSP Governor Amando Tetangco said, after land prices exceeded a 1997 high.

Measures to tighten policy and cool the real estate sector have provided banks with “clear enough guidance to help them better appreciate the risks of their lending activities,” he said, citing a new credit-risk management framework, property stress tests for banks and an expanded definition of lenders’ investments.

Malaysia has called for the reconvening of the World Trade Organisation's Information Technology Agreement (ITA) expansion negotiations and urged for swift conclusion. Minister of International Trade and Industry, Datuk Seri Mustapa Mohamed, reiterated Malaysia's commitment in concluding the ITA expansion negotiations, at the APEC ministerial meeting here.

"We hope to see the implementation of the ITA2 agreement in the shortest timeframe possible as it will bring benefits to our economy and promote trade growth," he said. The business community has a lot to gain from this initiative, he said. It would also support the government's efforts at creating jobs, he said.

Malaysia's total trade in information communication technology (ICT) and electrical & electronic products in 2013 amounted to US$107bn while exports totalled US$62bn and imports amounted to US$45bn. The ITA expansion negotiations have 52 participants which account for 97% of global trade in ICT products. (Bernama)

Malaysia has expressed support for China’s initiatives to advance the process of taking concrete actions towards the realisation of the Free Trade Area of the Asia-Pacific (FTAAP) in a comprehensive and systematic manner. As a middle-income economy, Malaysia has enjoyed the benefits brought about by APEC initiatives in addressing the middle-income trap and pushing economies to achieve higher income status, said International Trade and Industry Minister Datuk Seri Mustapa Mohamed.

The FTAAP would provide an open market to the nations within the Apec region, including small countries like Malaysia, which has benefited from its technical assistance and capacity building programmes, as well as sharing of best practices among economies, he said. (Bernama)

The strong Malaysia-China relations, established 40 years ago, are expected to boost bilateral trade. Minister of International Trade and Industry, Datuk Seri Mustapa Mohamed, said this was the first estimate made by the Special Monitoring Committee set up on 4 Nov comprising agencies under the ministry with the aim to coordinate and monitor economic activities with China.

The committee, which aimed to strengthen Malaysia-China trade, was announced by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak at the celebration of the 40th anniversary of the Kuala Lumpur-Beijing ties in May. Mustapa said the committee, which would be a one-stop platform to monitor bilateral trade activities, would be chaired by the prime minister and coordinated by the ministry. (Bernama)

"In committed investments alone, Iskandar Malaysia has secured RM156.51bn since 2006, of which 51% or RM79.17bn has been realised to date," he said. Najib, who is also finance minister, announced the approval of the 2014-2025 Comprehensive Development Plan for Iskandar Malaysia. (Bernama)

The government will prioritise on low-cost high impact projects that will be executed in a swift and efficient manner to allow Malaysia achieve its high-income developed nation status by 2020, says Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak. He posted a link on his blog via www.najibrazak.com and Twitter @NajibRazak that the 11th Malaysia Plan which will be tabled in Parliament in May next year is the last transformation step.

“Besides that, the objective will be achieved via the approach that I have said in Budget 2015, themed 'People Economy'. In the budget, the management of the country's economy is divided into two sections which are capital economy and the people economy,” he said. “With the approach, InsyaAllah (God's willing), Malaysia will achieve a high-income nation status by 2020 and we will continue to be on the right track,” he said.

Penang tabled a RM992.82m budget for 2015 with an estimated deficit of RM230.31m, the fourth consecutive deficit budget for the state since 2011. The budget for 2015 is only slightly higher than this year’s budget, by about 3.18% from the RM962.19m budget for 2014.

Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng, who tabled the state budget at the Penang State Legislative Assembly today, said the expected revenue to be collected for 2015 is RM656.931m.

This is an increase of RM69.18m or 11.77% in revenue as compared to this year’s revenue estimate of RM587.75m. The increase in revenue is expected to be from land premium from the Bayan Mutiara and Batu Kawan developments, Lim said. (Bernama)

A proposed state sales tax on seafood products taken out of Sabah is worrying fishermen. Sabah Fisheries and Fishing Boat Owners Association Federation chairman Arsani Arshad said fishermen would likely bear the brunt of such a sales tax. “Factory operators and exporters will pass on any additional costs by pushing down the prices they pay fishermen,” he said, urging the state government to reconsider the tax.

“If the factories are paying fishermen RM3 per kilo for a certain type of fish, they will reduce it to RM2.50 if the sales tax is 50 sen. “So, the low prices they offer will be driven even lower. We would have little choice but to accept it,” Arsani said. (The Star)

The Sustainable Energy Development Authority (SEDA) on Sat hosted its inaugural Open Day for the public to have face-to-face discussions on the feed-in-tariff (FiT) mechanism. SEDA Chairman Datuk Yee Moh Chai said in his opening speech that the purpose of the Open Day was to enable the public to find out more about the FiT for solar Photovoltaic (PV) systems for homeowners.

"I am grieved to learn that we have received complaints from the public on cases of being cheated by PV companies guaranteeing them solar PV quota in exchange for a hefty deposit. "Please note that SEDA has never guaranteed solar PV quota to any applicant or PV company, and yet there are unscrupulous people who are making easy money out of the public with fabricated information," he said.

He said to overcome the issue, SEDA and the Malaysian PV Industry Association (MPIA) have jointly developed a Homeowners' Guide to Investing in a Solar PV System. (Bernama)

The Malaysian Palm Oil Board (MPOB) has mandated the implementation of biogas capture for all new palm oil mills applications from Jan 1, 2014 and for existing mills applying for throughput expansion in the country.

Palm oil will probably climb more than 10%, extending a bull market, as inventories contract in Malaysia and Indian imports expand, according to Dorab Mistry, director of Godrej International Ltd. Futures “will comfortably exceed” RM2,500 (US$749) a metric tonne after March as stockpiles in Malaysia, the world’s biggest producer after Indonesia, decline through June, Mistry said. His earlier target of RM2,300 by December 10 will be exceeded because of the weakness of the Malaysian currency, he said in remarks prepared for a conference in China. (BT)

The Johor state government wants to change the perception among many people that housing development in Iskandar Malaysia is only for the elites. Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Mohamed Khaled Nordin said many people thought the lower-income group could not afford to buy property in the Iskandar region.

Johor is set to become the second hub for data-centre parks in the country when one of the world’s top digital-based companies sets up operations in the state. It is learnt that US-based Microsoft Corp will invest between RM5bn and RM6bn to set up its data centre in Sedenak, Kulaijaya. A source told StarBizWeek that Multimedia Development Corp had aggressively courted the company to set up its operations in Cyberjaya, Selangor.

“But Microsoft is more interested to invest in Iskandar Malaysia, citing its close proximity to Singapore as an added advantage for the company,” said the source. The source added that the ongoing progress and development taking place in Iskandar Malaysia was another reason that Microsoft had chosen Johor over Selangor. (Star Biz)
