When no news is good news


RIOs 2Q13 quarterly production report revealed increased coal and copper production offset by disappointing alumina production and a slightly underwhelming iron ore number. While on balance we view the report as marginally on the positive side of expectations, the stock rallied hard, implying to us the market appears braced for bad news.
Taking into account the production results and making small adjustments to June quarter commodity prices, our 2013 EPS forecast has declined by 2.6%. Our NPV has fallen negligibly to A$82.24ps and we retain our Outperform recommendation with a slightly revised target price of A$74.10 (previously A$74.20) based on a 10% discount to our NPV. ahead of its own target of achieving a US$750m pa cost saving in this area. We think the report, while not the strongest set of numbers, was a good result in light of ongoing commodity price weakness and continued uncertainty regarding the global economic outlook. Falling commodity prices will inevitably force mine closures and, in this respect, it is understandable the market is braced for bad news when it comes to mining stocks. In this context, increased coal production, lowering unit costs, as well as cost savings in Exploration and Evaluation should give investors confidence in RIOs ability to meet its cost and production targets.

RIO reported its June quarter production, in which it also reiterated full-year 2013 guidance. Mined copper production for the group was increased by 5% as production at Bingham Canyon exceeded expectations, while 2013 alumina production has been cut by 6%. There was no change to full-year iron ore or coal production forecasts. RIO also reported its Exploration and Evaluation expenditure for 1H13 was US$542m versus US$1,025m for the same period last year, indicating it is

What Happened

What You Should Do

We still prefer Rio Tinto to BHP due to what we view as its superior growth profile and we believe the stock will re-rate as its higher-returning iron ore expansions are commissioned.

Notes from the Field

What does it feel like?


The significant shift towards multi-family housing starts means that from a materials intensity perspective a housing start today is worth much less than a start 10 years ago. While headline housing starts are now at near-mid-cycle levels, our feels like adjusted housing activity index indicates that levels remain about 10% below long-term averages. We believe this change is structural, and it carries meaningful implications for the mid-cycle profitability of Boral (BLD) and CSR.

Adjusted starts: 'Feels like' index

SOURCES: CIMB, ABS

High-density housing contributed 40% of national starts in 2012, up from 25% over the past 25 years. Importantly, our analysis indicates the value of demand pulled through from an apartment is only about 50% of the level of a detached house. As a result of this intensity differential and the shift to apartments, a housing start today is worth less than in previous cycles. We see this trend as structural rather than cyclical. We believe affordability, as well as demographic factors such as shrinking households, increasing immigration and a broader shift towards a CBD-centric, service-oriented economy underpin this trend. Consistent with commentary from materials providers and anecdotal industry feedback, we believe these trends are unlikely to reverse. This shift to high-density housing will undoubtedly influence mid-cycle

profitability for Australian building products businesses.

Implication for mid-cycle

A structural change

In particular, we forecast mid-cycle earnings for Boral and CSRs building products businesses will be structurally lower than in the past. We have revisited our mid-cycle assumptions for the broader companies. Our analysis places BLDs current share price on a mid-cycle PER of 11x, which we view as fair, and CSRs on a more attractive 8x PER. On this basis, we prefer CSR to BLD, albeit with significant exposure to external factors such as FX rates and aluminium prices.

Our sector preferences

We continue to prefer Fletcher Building (FBU, Neutral) given the groups cyclical leverage and industry positions in New Zealand. We also maintain our Neutral rating for CSR, Adelaide Brighton (ABC) and BLD, and our Underperform rating for James Hardie Industries (JHX).

SECTOR FLASH NOTE

CIMB Analyst(s)

APA continues on acquisition trail


APA has approached ENV with an indicative and non-binding merger proposal under which ENV shareholders would receive 0.1678 new APA stapled securities for each ENV share they own plus ENVs final dividend (up to 3.0cps). This implies A$1.10 for each share at an 11% premium to one-month VWAP (1% premium excluding the dividend).
With the HDF transaction now largely bedded down, APA has set its sights on acquiring the 67% of stock in ENV that it doesnt currently own. With APA trading ahead of our unchanged target price (A$6.18) and risk that its increased exposure to regulation results in a multiple de-rating if the transaction proceeds, we downgrade our rating to Neutral. We maintain our Neutral rating for ENV, but increase our target price to A$1.07 to reflect the merger proposal. we also believe APA will likely need to lift its bid to get the deal over the line. With APA already holding a 33% stake in ENV, plus operating and maintaining its assets, a move to full ownership was always on the cards. While the transaction will likely result in synergies (cA$10m in corporate costs to start with), one of the key factors that drew us to APA was its lower-than-peer exposure to regulation and this transaction will lift regulated earnings from 30% to >50%. On our estimates, the combined entity is likely to trade at 11.4x FY14EV/EBITDA versus APAs current 13.5x and ENVs 10.9x. With APA attracting a premium to peers due to its growth prospects and lower regulatory risk, in our view, we believe it is likely APA will trade slightly lower than this implied multiple. With the transaction indicative and non-binding at this stage, we make no changes to our forecasts. However, we downgrade APA to Neutral (A$6.18 target price) with it having traded through our 12-month target price and pending a response from ENVs board of directors in relation to the proposal. We also maintain our Neutral rating for ENV, albeit with a slightly increased target price of A$1.07 reflecting the terms of todays merger proposal.

What We Think

What Happened

APA announced it has approached ENV with an indicative and non-binding merger proposal. APA has offered ENV shareholders 0.1678 new APA stapled securities for each ENV share they own plus ENVs final dividend (up to 3.0cps). This implies A$1.10 for each share and 11% premium to one-month VWAP. The proposal is intended to proceed by way of scheme of arrangement and APA management has indicated a bullish timeframe for the deal (completion by December 2013). While due diligence should be prompt given APAs familiarity with the assets, we believe the process is likely to take longer given these processes are always more protracted than first expected and the presence of another substantial investor on the register (CKI). With ENVs share price already trading through the deal terms today,

Our analyst, Fraser McLeish, points to the companys success in reducing the cost base and the fact it has a number of valuable online assets that are generating strong growth and becoming a larger part of the whole. Over the week we also saw a significant rise in short positions in SGT, ASL and REA, while a large proportion of short positions in QBE, DUE and SAI were covered.

Average short positions edged higher, to another historical high of 3.1%, as the global macro environment continues to drive market positioning. The gold price has rallied from the brief dip below $US1,200 and short sellers have seized the opportunity to accumulate positions in the sector (Kingsgate Consolidated, Perseus and Silver Lake Resources), with short interest rising from 2.7% at 27 June to 3.2%. Also during the week, short interest increased in the retail discretionary sector (Billabong and David Jones) to 8.8%, just below the average for 2013 of 8.9%.

A short summary

Increasing short interest and days-to-cover

Stocks with the largest increase in short interest included SingTel, Ausdrill, REA Group, Kingsgate Consolidated and Bradken.

Notes from the Field

Still staying on the dividend path (II)


An analysis of higher-yielding stock valuation needs to consider not only the dividend yield, but also the PE ratio and the outlook for payout ratios. Relative to global peers, the valuation of Australias banks looks a little less attractive on these metrics, but it remains attractive in the consumer staples sector. In telcos and utilities, Australia has less relative value irrespective of the valuation method.

The appeal in dividends

I think that the search for yield, while there is so much liquidity, is going to continue..."

In our recent report, Still staying on the dividend path (5 July 2013), we argued that despite the increase in recent months, the level of global interest rates is still very low relative to history and seems likely to remain relatively low for some time. Furthermore, one implication of slower economic growth and lower interest rates is that dividends are a more important component of an investors total return. Recently we wrote that we expect the US 10-year note to be relatively range-bound (2.5% to 3.0%) until the data signals a stronger pick-up in US growth. We expect this to emerge later in the year, prompting the Fed to move towards completion of its asset purchase program. However, scenarios on payroll growth and the implied unemployment rate suggest an increase in the Fed funds rate is still a long way off. In our view, markets have fully priced in the completion of the asset purchase program, but they are struggling to price in the Fed outlook beyond that. The Australian banks look attractive on a dividend yield basis, but on a PE ratio basis the sector looks expensive relative to global peers. However, relative to its own history, the PE ratio is not excessively high. The payout ratio is the highest among our group of global markets and it has been so for at least 11 years.

The global interest rate outlook

Mark Smith, CEO ANZ Banking Group

Banks

Consumer staples

Like the banks, the consumer staples sector has the highest payout ratio among our group of global markets and it has been so for at least 11 years. The PE ratio is in line with the global average and slightly lower than its own history. In our view, the sector probably offers even better value than the banks on both a dividend yield and PE basis.

Utilities

The Australian utilities have a slightly higher dividend yield than the global average, but it is lower than it has been in the past. History shows the dividend yield is normally higher than the global average. The dividend yield on the Australian telco sector (mainly Telstra) is in line with the global average, but well below its longer-run historical average. On a PE ratio basis, the Australian sector is expensive relative to global peers, but it is in line with its longer-run average. The payout ratio is 90% and this is also the long-run average, but both Finland (97%) and Denmark (95%) offer an even higher payout.

Solid refining fundamentals


As we highlighted in our recent GSH/SKI notes, we are bullish on refining margins for the next 12-18 months, based on a benign supply outlook. With the weakest quarter out of the way, we expect S-Oil to report solid earnings from 3Q13.

We cut FY13 EPS by 28% and FY14-15 EPS by 7% each to reflect 2Q13s weakness and several assumption changes. As a result, we lower our target price by 7%, still based on 1.9x FY13 P/BV (derived using an FY14 ROE of 17%). Nevertheless, maintain Outperform as robust earnings from 3Q13 are expected to catalyse its stock. After speaking to S-Oil to gauge its near-term earnings outlook, we cut our 2Q13 operating-profit estimate by 60% to W90bn from our early-May forecast to account for: 1) a bigger qoq oil-price decline (7% vs. 4%); 2) a larger qoq volume decline from its maintenance shutdown (-9% vs. -3% for refined products; other product volumes also lowered); and 3) a narrower PX-naphtha spread (US$580/t vs. US$600/t), more than offsetting b-t-e refining margins in 2Q13 (the bulk of FY13 revisions coming from 2Q13 changes). For FY14-15, we cut our operating-profit forecasts by 4% and 1%, respectively, mainly to account for lower oil-price assumptions.

What We Think

What Happened

Despite our reduced earnings, we stay positive on 2H13-2014 refining margins due to a benign supply outlook. Even if demand concerns in China linger on, we believe a lack of new refining capacity in the next 18 months will lead to healthy improvements in global refining utilisation rates. Based on IEAs latest oil-consumption and net-refining capacity-addition forecasts, we estimate that the global refining utilisation rate will improve from 82.7% in 2012 to 83.2% in 2013, 83.7% in 2014 and mid-cycle level of 84% in 2015.

While we like S-Oil, we prefer GSH and SKI at this juncture as uncertainties over S-Oils upcoming capex programme should remain an overhang until an announcement is made (expected by end-2013). Although S-Oil has communicated that its dividend policy will not change, the market appears concerned that its cash-flow strains might lower its dividends.

Buy ahead of timber rerating


Ta Ann started off as a timber company but has since diversified into oil palm. While oil palm is currently the largest profit contributor, one should not overlook the potential of its timber business which could see stronger earnings as we expect timber prices to head higher.

We begin coverage on the stock with a Trading Buy call and a target price of RM4.67, based on an SOP valuation. The stock is not an Outperform as we expect it to be rerated only in the short term, driven by rising timber prices. Rerating catalysts could come in the form of stronger timber earnings in the coming quarters. Following six consecutive quarters of weak earnings, it is time to relook at the potential of Ta Ann's timber business as rising log and plywood prices set the tone for a recovery in its timber profits. Our channel checks reveal that Sarawak export log prices have risen by 30-50% since Jan this year. This should benefit the group as it is one of the largest timber producers in Sarawak. It accounted for 6% of Sarawak's log exports in 2012. Additionally, Ta Ann's huge exposure to Japan (39% of its 2012 revenue came from sales of timber products to Japan) makes it a good proxy for the potential upturn in Japan's housing market, which could boost plywood prices. We estimate Ta Ann's timber earnings to recover from a pretax loss of RM18m in 2012 to a

profit of RM21m this year. Including the one-off compensation from its Tasmania venture, we estimate that the timber PBT could rise to as much as RM86m, highest since 2007.

Solid palm oil output growth

Timber profits set to recover

The venture into oil palm plantations was part of a strategy to broaden the group's earnings base beyond the sale of logs and plywood.
Dato Wong Kuo Hea, Group Managing Director and CEO

We are also positive on Ta Anns oil palm plantation which is projected to churn out strong FFB output growth of 10-18% p.a. in FY13-14, driven by new mature areas and improving yields from its young estates. There is room for expansion as 64% of its land bank is not planted. This could keep the group busy for at least the next 12 years based on its current expansion target of 3k-5k ha annually. Ta Ann has underperformed the market by 29% and its share price has fallen by 19% in the past 12 months due to weak timber and CPO price sentiment. We see this as an opportune time to accumulate the stock as it is trading at a 18% discount to our SOP. We expect the company to report stronger timber earnings in its coming quarterly results in Aug, which could boost sentiment on the stock.

Malindos fares on its trunk domestic routes to Kota Kinabalu and Kuching from Kuala Lumpur have doubled since the routes were launched in March, closing substantially the gap with AirAsias fares. Meanwhile, Malindos frequencies have also been erratic.

Hence, Malindos impact on AirAsia will be less than feared in 2013. We remain Overweight on the Malaysian aviation sector, with our top Outperform being AirAsia on the back of the resilience of its business. We also like MAHB as we are confident that it can open KLIA2 on 2 May 2014 as promised. The sector is expected to rerate on the back of strong AirAsia and MAHB earnings. Over the past four months since its maiden flight, Malindo appears to have revised its plans for a 12-strong jet fleet by end-2013 to a 10-strong jet fleet. But the gap will be plugged by Malindos plans for a 4-strong turbo-prop fleet based out of Subang. Malindo also continues to make plans for services to India from September, and then to Singapore and China. Disturbingly, several of Malindos middle managers have left the company to join AirAsia, suggesting internal discord.

Key developments

We believe that Malindos impact on AirAsia will be limited this year as (1) Malindos frequencies have been erratic, (2) its fares have doubled since launch and the gap with AirAsia is now quite small, (3) Malindo may be targeting too many routes with too few frequencies to make an impact, and (4) AirAsia remains a very efficient low-cost operator. We think that MAS will feel more pressure as (1) it is an inefficient operator, (2) Malindos product resembles MASs product the most, and (3) Firefly is now facing direct competition at Subang Airport.

Will Malindo get to 100?

Highlighted Companies AirAsia Bhd


Outperform, target RM4 (11x CY14 P/E). AirAsia is an LCC behemoth that looks set to dominate Asian skies, with hubs in Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Japan, the Philippines and India. However, it faces competition in Malaysia from Lion Air's Malindo.

Malaysia Airports Holdings


Outperform, target RM7.55 (DCF on 6.6% WACC, 0% LTG). MAHB stands to be a prime beneficiary of regional airlines' aggressive expansion plans. It may receive an ITA of up to 100% of KLIA2's capex, worth more than RM4bn.

Limited impact so far

Lion Airs plans to set up a new LCC in Thailand could result in Malindo slowing down the pace of its aircraft expansion from a stated goal of 100 planes in 10 years. Some of Lion Airs aircraft deliveries may be diverted to Thailand, especially if Malindo finds the competitive environment in Malaysia tougher than expected. Should this happen, AirAsia would be the biggest beneficiary.

AREITs portfolio remained healthy with a weighted average rental reversion of 9.6% in 1Q. This should continue with current market rents at 15-41% higher than passing rents due for renewal in FY13-14.

Management remains on the lookout for opportunities to enhance its portfolios returns and marketability. It has announced three new AEIs (Techquest, LogisTech, Corporation Place) in 1QFY14, which amounted to a total estimated cost of S$25.4m. Asset leverage remains a low 28.6% (30.5% after committed investments), which will leave room for growth.

Maintain Outperform

AREIT trades at 1.2x P/BV compared to its historical average of 1.4x since listing. We see opportunities to accumulate AREIT at this level as it is a quality holding, given its prudent management and high quality assets. Its low asset leverage will leave room for acquisitions and developments upon a potential correction in pricing expectations by prospective buyers.

United Overseas Bank


Neutral with target price of S$21.24. We like UOB for its strength in institutional lending. But it is lacking in its WM distribution network. Downward pressure on NIMs is also likely to persist in coming quarters.

The downgrade was on the back of fears of worsening NPL ratios and higher credit costs as interest rates rise. Domestically, we believe business loans are likely to show the first signs of struggle. But history has shown that non-Singapore loans always see trouble first and contribute most significantly to NPLs. We remain Neutral on Singapore banks, with DBS as our top pick for its multiple non-interest income drivers.

What Happened

Moodys downgraded its outlook for Singapore banks from stable to neutral yesterday on the belief that the increased likelihood of tightening US monetary policy is likely to trigger a turning point in the credit cycle and lead to worsening NPL ratios and higher credit costs. MAS responded with a statement that Singapore banks have undergone stress tests and have adequate buffers to cope with higher interest rates.

While we agree with Moodys downgrade on the basis of a weaker credit environment, we believe that the Singapore banking system is relatively resilient and we should not be overly concerned. During two major recessions in the past 16 years, Singapores domestic NPLs did not really inflate. We believe that the same will happen this time round. Domestic mortgages have not contributed significantly to NPLs in the last two decades and we believe that it will not be a big contributor this time either.

What We Think

What You Should Do

We remain Neutral on Singapore banks. Our top pick is DBS for its trade finance success and earnings delivery from multiple fee income streams.

Our key changes were an upgrade of Property to Overweight from Neutral (on valuations) and Banks downgrade to Neutral from Overweight (on poor upcoming results expected). Maintain Neutral on the Singapore market with an intact end-CY13 FSSTI target of 3,400, bottom-up. Top picks are DBS, UOL, THBEV, AREIT, BIG, CAPL, EZI, GLP, SATS, KEP and TAT.

What Happened
We narrated our more-positive country view since end-Jun, when we upgraded Singapore to Neutral (from Underweight). Investors agreed that Singapore is not expensive, but does not have earnings catalysts. Bears felt ASEAN markets were not the places to be in, as any further slowdown in China is likely to make itself felt soon in the region. Bulls appreciated Singapore's more defensive characteristics.

REITs debt is sensitive to rising rates immediately. We prefer yield exposure through operating companies with net cash. Investors questioned if Telcos high gearing renders them suitable as hiding places when rates rise. We still like Capital Goods as we attribute the heightened Chinese competition in the sector to aggressive financing. Short term, investors agreed with us but longer term, they queried if Singapore would lose its competitive edge. As for consumer picks, most asked about Thai Bev and Courts. Investors were jittery over Tat Hong's share-price weakness. New stocks that came under some scrutiny included NOL, as to whether it could benefit from a US recovery.

What You Should Do


Our top picks remain DBS, UOL, THBEV, AREIT, BIG, CAPL, EZI, GLP, SATS, KEP and TAT. Vard has been dropped after our downgrade. REITs are swimming against rising rates and we prefer yield stocks with net cash and some EPS growth.

What We Think

Suffering from unusually cool and wet weather and the avian flu in Eastern China in 2Q13, the groups SSSG had contracted by a high single digit in Apr (-7% in 1Q) in China. However, sales gradually recovered in May and Jun with mom improvements, thanks to the closure of non-performing stores in the past 15 months (>160 stores) and effective localised marketing campaigns. Taiwans recovery was on track with SSSG turning positive in 2Q (-14% in 1Q) on the back of successful promotions while Hong Kong kept its

low-single-digit SSSG (+3% in 1Q). Singapore is sure to be poor given Juns air pollution, which kept people indoors. We believe 2Qs overall performance was stable, compensated by Indonesia and Thailand (>20% SSSG in 1Q) as well as the recovery in Taiwan. We expect Chinas profitability to improve from: 1) healthy inventories; 2) fewer discounts offered by its rivals; and 3) gross-margin preservation. Store expansion will focus on Taiwan and South-East Asia while stores in China will stay around 1,200.

Gold price remains the key


Despite the stronger-than-expected 1QFY14 operational performance and possible upside to consensus earnings, we believe that gold price uncertainty will remain a key overhang on Luk Fooks valuation in the near term. We prefer Chow Tai Fook for its more resilient margins.

We raise our FY14-16 EPS forecasts by 9-10% to factor in the strong 1Q operational performance, which was led by robust physical demand due to a drop in gold prices in Apr. We lift our target price to HK$21.9, still based on 8x CY14 P/E, 2 s.d. below the sectors mid-cycle valuations. We think sales and margin trends will start to normalise in 2Q and maintain our Neutral rating. Luk Fooks 1QFY14 operational update revealed 1) HK SSSG of 83% (29% in 4QFY13), 2) China SSSG of 117% (14% in 4QFY13), 3) SSSG of 130% for gold products and 21% for gem-sets, 4) low-single-digit yoy drop in overall retail gross margins, and 5) net addition of 20 POS (five self-operated stores and 35 licensed stores).

rival Chow Tai Fooks (CTF) SSSG rates (HK 68% and China 32%). The low-single-digit drop in retail gross margin was largely due to the shift in sales mix towards gold products and is comparable to the 3% pt drop in gross margin reported by CTF for the same period. Luk Fooks share price has risen 13% (vs. 17% for CTF) over the last five trading days in anticipation of favourable numbers after CTFs 1Q results. While we see potential upside to consensus forecast, we maintain our Neutral rating as we believe that the uncertainties in gold prices will continue to weigh on Luk Fooks valuation in the near term. In the watch & jewellery sector, we prefer CTF for its more resilient margins (higher hedging ratios) and Stelux for its earnings recovery led by cost-cutting initiatives.

While a concentrated launch of new capacity in 2H13 may create risks for cement prices in regions with slow demand growth, prices in regions with stronger demand growth and limited new capacity could be supported by an improving market balance, in our view.

Shanxi appears to have the biggest risks given the slowest incremental changes in its market balance expected in 2H13. At the same time, a more positive outlook for the central and southern regions backed by strong demand growth is likely to support prices better. We remain Overweight on the sector with catalysts expected from a price recovery in 4Q13. Shanshui Cement and Anhui Conch are our top picks.

our expectations. However, the concentrated launch of new capacity in 2H13 (potentially delayed from 1H13 by tight liquidity) could create pricing pressure if demand growth is slow to catch up with capacity growth. We are more positive on regions with strong demand growth and limited capacity additions, including Jiangxi, Hunan, Guangdong and Guangxi, as an improving market balance could potentially jack up prices. In spite of earnings risks and the potential for a moderate yoy decline in 1H13 earnings, Shanshui remains our top pick in the sector as we think its low valuations against its historical 3-year average has more than reflected the negatives. We also like Anhui Conch for its attractive valuations and market leadership. Its strong earnings-growth potential in 2H13 could be a strong catalyst for the stock, we believe.

What Happened

China Cement Association reported 39m tpa of new clinker capacity launched in 1H13, 58% in western China. Another 83m tpa of new clinker capacity could be launched in 2H13, with more new lines coming out in the central-northern region.

Notes from the Field

Biting the bullet


Its auto businesses face intense pressure from the competition while the long-term outlook for LCGC turned out to be less rosy. As its ROE is on a downward trajectory, Astra is heading for a de-rating.
We cut our FY13-15 forecasts by 2-4%, mainly on lower low-cost green car (LCGC) volume and auto margins. Given all the negatives, we see that the stock is heading for a de-rating. Hence, we cut our price target to Rp6,600, now based on 2.8x FY14 P/BV or the historical valuation if the cost of equity were to increase to 15.6% vs. our previous valuation basis of 15x CY14 P/E. We downgrade Astra to Underperform from Outperform. Margins at the auto dealer level may remain depressed in the foreseeable future, as competition intensifies and dealers resort to their aggressive discounting strategies used 2-3 months ago. Given Astras perceived strategy of prioritising market share over margins, the discounting could persist for a while, no thanks to its recent market share decline in Jun. Thus, our auto margin assumptions are lowered by 30bp to a more sustainable level of 3.3% in FY13-14, a level seen back in FY09-10. launches closer to the expected LCGC launch dates of Astra's competitors. As a result, such launches now may not alleviate the stress on Astras market share and dealer discounting. Moreover, the proposed regulations to impose ceiling prices could put dealers at a disadvantage in the long term, given the more volatile margins. We now expect LCGC sales for Astra to amount to only 30,000 units this year, from 70,000 units previously.

The regulatory delays have pushed Toyota and Daihatsus LCGC

Driven by pressures on the auto and commodities fronts, Astra's ROE is poised to decline to 23-25% in FY13-15 from the 5-year average of 30%. There could be upside potential to our ROE forecasts if Astra 1) leverages up, or 2) pays more dividend, though such moves will contradict its current strategy. Thus, we expect the stock to de-rate to 2.8x FY14 P/BV, which is the historical valuation if the cost of equity were to increase to 15.6% (prev. 13.7%). We believe that Astra's current share price already reflects the higher cost of equity. The limited upside potential underpins our Underperform call.

KBANK is our long-term sector favourite on the back of its banking and management quality. It can now be owned at an undemanding 8.9x CY14 P/E and 2.0x P/BV (for a 21% ROE) against SCBs 9. x and . x, respectively.

We remain positive on the market but reshuffle our top picks to reflect the more fragile sentiment. We replace ANAN, KK and SCB with BEC, KTB and KBANK. Our other top picks are intact: AMATA, PS, SIRI, MINT, BGH, ROBINS and GLOBAL. Our index target is still 1,810 (14.2x CY14 P/E, a 3% premium to regional peers). Maintain Positive view with market catalysts expected from a passage of the infrastructure bill and decent 2Q13 earnings. Foreign investors have been net sellers of THB76bn to date, a reversal from the inflows last year. Cumulative foreign inflows since 2009 when QE1 started had peaked at about THB155bn in Jan 13 and are now down to only THB62bn after recent heavy sell-offs. We believe that foreign sell-offs should be less pronounced in the near term, as the political situation is stable and corporate earnings remain robust.

Short term, our regional strategists believe that capital outflows could persist, pressurising asset returns. The Leading Economic Index, Business Sentiment Index and BOI applications received remain strong. Demand for property-development loans and mortgage loans remains strong and we believe that 2H13 presales will stay strong on the back of more project launches. Meanwhile, we estimate that a 1% drop in Chinese GDP will shave only 9bp off Thais GDP.

LEI and BSI stay strong

Foreign selling to cool off

Krung Thai Bank


We see KTB as offering the best value among the big banks as it is trading at just 7.2x CY14 P/E and 1.4x P/BV. Earnings drivers could include a more profitable loan mix and greater focus on fee income.

Infrastructure bill unconstitutional?

BEC World
We believe that fears of an analogue-to-digital terrestrial-TV transition are overplayed, which offers a trading opportunity for BEC. BEC is trading at its 3-year average P/E, implying a PEG of 1.

Contractors seem to believe that if the infrastructure bill is ruled unconstitutional, any delays will only be for a few months. They are not too worried as they already have huge backlog orders, which could keep them busy for the next few years.

All eggs in one basket


For the second straight quarter, growth was driven by domestic deals (exports declined qoq), while in-line margins were due to lower subcontracting costs. While growth should pick up, NITECs guidance of better-than-industry growth (12-14%) in FY14 now seems aggressive.
The 1Q EPS at 20.7% of our FY14 forecast was 11% ahead of estimates on forex gains, but EBITDA was in line. We lower FY14-16 US$ revenues by 4.8-5.5%, and revise EPS by -3.1 to +3.5% on new INR/USD forecasts. We lower our target P/E to 7.5x FY15 (7.9x previously, on lower visibility). With valuations of 6.1x FY15 EPS, we maintain Outperform with Rs323 price target (from Rs327). Key catalyst is growth pick-up in 2HFY14. As we expected, revenues declined 0.9% qoq (flat in constant currency) to US$97.9m. However, this was led by 10.8% growth in India, while export revenues fell 3.3%, due to c6% drop in Europe. The EBITDA margin at 14.1% (-c200bp qoq) came in as expected despite strong hardware/ licence sales, as sub-contracting costs came off. Strong FX gains at Rs192m (-Rs40m in 4QFY13) drove PAT to Rs565m (+0.7% qoq), 10.5% ahead of our estimate after factoring in a one-off Rs54m dividend tax charge.

India saves the day

The 1Q order intake of US$145m (including US$60m deal from Airports Authority of India) and positive demand trends in the US (five large deals in the pipeline) and Asia imply a strong 2HFY13. However, exports have declined in the past two quarters and the potential cross-currency headwind in 1QFY14 could keep FY14 US$ revenue growth in the single digits vs. NITECs guidance of doing better than the IT industry body NASSCOMs 12-14% growth forecast for the sector. Margins should perk up visibly due to lower pass-through revenues and higher margins from the AAI deal. We lower our target price to Rs323, factoring in 4.8-5.5% forecast downgrades (about half of this from the cross-currency headwind) and lowered target P/E of 7.5x FY15. With the worst likely behind it, and undemanding valuations, we reiterate Outperform on the stock.

Weak 1Q; Near-term headwinds create entry opportunity


Oberois 1Q PAT rose only 1% yoy (-30% qoq) on account of lower property sales, other income and higher taxes. Property sales declined over 60% on both square feet and unit basis due to the absence of new launches (lack of approvals) and high-priced inventory.
1QFY14 earnings were slightly below expectations, at 17% of our full-year estimate. We expect near-term pain from weak demand, lack of approvals/launches and the overhang of dilution. We cut our FY14-16 EPS estimates by 5-6% and SOP-based target by 5% to Rs 285. The stock remains an Outperform, with key catalysts likely from project launches & potential land purchases. 1QFY14 revenues rose 9% yoy (-28% qoq) to Rs2.2bn (Rs1.4bn from projects and Rs630m from rentals), but were below our expectations due to lower property sales. EBITDA margins rose by 4.6% pts to 61.1% due to sales of existing inventory at higher prices. These, coupled with a higher tax rate of 31% (vs. 26% in FY13 as there was no contribution from the tax-exempt Splendour project), led to only a 1% yoy rise (-30% qoq) in net profit to Rs1bn. Property sales declined by 60% yoy and qoq to 49,000 sq. ft. coming from 23 units (-63% yoy and -68% qoq, vs. quarterly avg. of 70 units) due to lack of new launches and slower demand for the existing inventory at high prices. This resulted in lower sales bookings of Rs925m (-55% yoy, -58% qoq). It had a negative operating cashflow of Rs1.2bn due to lower collection from Esquire (on approval issues) and the capex on non-cash generating projects (Worli & Commerz - 2). While we expect near-term pain to continue for the next 3-6 months, we expect Oberoi to launch new projects (Mulund, Worli, Goregaon phase -3, etc.) from 2HFY14 onwards. Thus, we believe the stock correction of 16% in the last three months has created an entry opportunity.

Panic on the street

SECTOR FLASH NOTE

Today, post the RBI measures to curb exchange rate volatility, short term borrowing costs went up by 150bp-200bp and benchmark government bond yields rose by c.50bp. In the near term, outlook for wholesale funded banks and non-banks remains challenging.

SOURCES: CIMB, COMPANY REPORTS

If the short term borrowing rates and government bond yields continue to remain at elevated levels, it would have its bearing on performance of banks and non-banks we cover. Further, the rise in government bond yields should adversely affect the treasury portfolio of most banks, especially public sector banks. We remain Neutral on the banking sector. Our top PSB picks are Canara Bank and Bank of Baroda (BOB), while we like ICICI Bank among private banks. We recently downgraded Indusind Bank to an Underperform. In order to curb the excess rupee liquidity and to address the exchange rate volatility, the RBI announced a few measures yesterday (Please refer to page 2 for details).

What Happened

higher proportions of IBL with maturity of less than one year (Figures 2 and 3). Among non-banks, those with high-yield loans like auto finance companies (MMFS and SHTF) are likely to be less affected than those with finely-priced loans like home and infrastructure companies (HDFC and IDFC). The benchmark 10-year government bond yield is back at the end-March 2013 level of around 8% (Figure 7). Thus, all the unrealised gains on the bonds would technically have vanished today, on a mark-to-market basis for the available-for-sale (AFS) category. We remain Neutral on the banking sector. PSB valuations appear undemanding but we are concerned about their declining low-cost deposit ratios, retirement benefit costs, asset quality and capital dilution under Basel III. Our top PSB picks are Canara Bank and BOB. We think that valuations are fair for most private sector banks, given their higher ROAs. Our key concern about private sector banks in the near term is loan growth due to the slowdown in the investment cycle and the broader economy. Our top private bank pick is ICICI Bank.

What You Should Do

What We Think

The increase in short-term wholesale borrowing costs will have an adverse impact on banks with a higher proportion of interest-bearing liabilities (IBL, domestic) due to mature in less than one year (Figure 6). Among private sector banks, Yes Bank, ING Vysya Bank and Indusind Bank have higher proportions of IBL with maturity of less than one year (Figures 2 and 3). Among public sector banks (PSB), Corporation Bank, Oriental Bank and Canara Bank have
