What's new: Stella International’s share price has fallen by 29% in 2 days due to a profit warning indicating 1H16 net profit would “decrease considerably”. While we expected weak performance from its casual footwear business, it seems it could be far worse than what we had expected. Nonetheless, after revising down our numbers, we believe the stock is now in oversold territory, and we see this as a good entry point for investors with a multi-year horizon. What's the impact: Stella attributed the guided drop in 1H16 net profit to a decline in shipment volumes (mainly casual footwear), a decline in the ASP due to low raw material prices and greater competition, as well as lower utilisation of non-sports footwear factories. We note that none of these factors are new developments to us, but we believe the magnitude of each decline has been worse than expected. During the 1Q16 call, management guided for low-single-digit percentage growth in volume for 2016; but we now look for a high-single-digit decline in sales volume. Importantly, we continue to believe the demand and order book for sports fashion shoes remain robust and growing, but its revenue growth is limited by capacity conversion (from casual to sports) as well as the build-out of new factories. If the deterioration in its casual shoes business is sustained, we expect management to accelerate the ramp-up of its sports shoes capacity, by converting casual factories to sports factories sooner than originally expected. We note that the company’s plans to commence production at 2 new factories for its 2 largest sports customers (Nike and another global sportswear brand) by the end of 2017, as well as Stella’s long-term partnership plans with them, remain intact. We cut 2016-18E net profit by 0-34%, after revising down our sales volume forecasts by 5-11% and lowering our blended gross margin assumptions by 0.7-1.2pp. What we recommend: We lower our 12-month target price to HKD14.50 (from HKD18.40), based on a target PER of 14x (from 15x, now in line with the average 1-year-forward PER since 2010) applied to the average of our revised 2016-17E EPS (previously 2016E EPS). After the sharp fall in the share price in the past 2 days, we believe the stock is oversold and due for a bounce-back. Hence, we upgrade our rating to Outperform (2) from Hold (3). If the stock remains at this level, we believe there is a high likelihood the company will repurchase shares given its USD168m net cash balance. Key risks to our call: lower-than-expected gross margin for Stella’s ODM business and a deterioration in its retail business. How we differ: We are one of the few major firms with a positive rating on Stella.

What's new: Texwinca’s FY16 results sharply missed our estimates, largely due to a sudden deterioration in its textiles business in 2H FY16. We were also disappointed by its decision to only partially pay out the gains from its asset sales. While we now expect a scaled-back earnings outlook going forward, we believe further share price downside is limited by its 7%+ dividend yield going forward and its HKD2.0 net cash/share. What's the impact: For FY16, the sales volume rose by 2.7% YoY, while its ASP declined by 2.0%. This implies that its sales volume declined by around 19% YoY for 2H FY16 (after a 22% rise in 1H FY16), which management attributed to order delays and the weak order books of its customers. We believe Texwinca’s textile business will remain weak in FY17, as: 1) its ASPs are likely to decline due to lower cotton prices and pressure from its downstream customers, 2) customers may delay orders on the weakening retail sentiment, and 3) factory utilisation could be at risk due to a 15% rise in capacity in FY16. While the dividend payout ratio (including the special dividends) dropped to 82% in FY16, we believe it has maintained its previous policy (of FY14-15) of paying out all of its core net profit in dividends, after adjusting for one-off gains. Management also said it is in the early stages of assessing the expansion of its factory operations in Vietnam. In our view, Texwinca is probably planning to vertically integrate its garment facility in Vietnam (through its stake in its JV with Megawell) with a new fabric facility. Management said that early studies indicate that the expansion would cost HKD1.0bn, and would increase total capacity by around 20%. Hence, we view the lower dividend payout as means to conserve cash for a probable Vietnam expansion over the next 2 years. We cut our FY17-18E EPS by 36-42%, primarily on the deterioration of its textiles business outlook. We also introduce our FY19E EPS of HKD0.65. What we recommend: We lower our 12-month TP to HKD6.20 (from HKD8.70), derived by applying an unchanged 12x PER (about a 20% discount to its regional peers) to our FY17E EPS (previously the average of our FY16-17E EPS). We downgrade the stock to Hold (3) from Buy (1). Other companies with similar mass-market customer exposure are Makalot (1477 TT, TWD150.50, Hold [3]) and Pacific Textiles (1382 HK, HKD9.28, Outperform [2]). The main downside risk to our call would be continued weakness in its textile business; the upside risk a sudden strong rebound in its textiles sales volume. How we differ: Our FY17-18E EPS are 10-11% below consensus as we factor in a slower pick-up in textile orders.

SELL (Unchanged) TP: Bt 29.00 (From: Bt 37.00) 20 JUNE 2016
Change in Numbers Downside : 12.8%
Total Access Comm. (DTAC TB)
SARACHADA SORNSONG 662 – 617 4966
Don’t catch the falling knives
Despite the share price falling by 10 % MTD, we reiterate our SELL on the stock and lower our TP to Bt29. Even looking beyond 2Q16F earnings, which we think s hould be the bottom, DTA C’s earnings visibility remains p oor due to its o ngoing market share losses and rising costs. Meanwhile, its dividend yield is not attractive at only 4%.
Unable to defend its turf Despite investing aggressively to improve its network quality and brand perception, DTAC is still unable to defend its turf. We project service revenue to contract by 1.2% y- y in 2Q16F, implying a further d ecline in its market share to 2 8%, on our estimates. This is worse than we had initially expected, and we now look for DTAC’s market share losses to be more sev ere as: 1) TRUE is g aining strong momentum in the prepaid segment, and with its deeper pockets, we don’t expect it t o slow its aggressiveness. 2) After winning the 900 MHz s pectrum, ADVANC’s bandwidth situation is better than before. We also expect ADVANC to be aggressive in defending its market share. 3) Intensifying competition could cap the operators’ ability to improve data monetization, leading to slowing industry growth.
Cutting earnings by 14-24% for 2016-18F While we factor in a sharp rise in DTAC’s network amortization and operating costs, its revenue growth is tracking weaker than expected for 2Q16F. As ADVANC won the earlier 900 MHz spectru m auction, we don’t expe ct DTAC to benefit from any 2G roaming revenue windfalls. To reflect our new lower service revenue growth forecasts, we cut our ear nings by 14-24% for 2016-18F . We now look for a 46% earnings contraction this y ear and project earnings to re bound by only 17% in 2017F . On the back of these cuts, we cut our DCF-based TP to Bt29 (from Bt37).
Reiterate SELL As the market expects very weak 2Q16 results, DTAC’s share price has fallen by 10% MTD. Even so, we don’t think its weak earnings outlook has been fully priced in. We project its 2Q16F earnings to fall by 65% y-y and 62% q-q, the worst quarter since 2 Q13. Even factoring in the impact o f seasonality and even if earning s were to improve in 3Q16, the road to recovery would still look limited as costs are likely to increase significantly and we expect it to continue losing market share. Given that DTAC is trading at 24x PE for 2016F , versus our negative 2016 EPS gro wth forecast of 46%, we think its valuation looks expensive. SELL.
Any upside risks? In addition to the weak earnings, DTAC’s business sustainability is another concern as its concessions are going to expire in 2018. Also, it only has 2.1GHz of spectrum on its licensing platform. With this in mind, DTAC is working with CAT to set up a JV for 2G towers and enter into a wholesaler/retailer contract for 20MHz of unused bandwidth from its 1800M Hz contract in order to offer a 4G service. The successful co-operation with CAT would act as a positive share price c atalyst. That said, as there is lots of red tape, we don’t foresee this being an easy ride in the near future.

China Financials
What’s new: In May 2016, VAT reform was implemented in the China insurance sector. We believe this reform will be negative for the China insurers, especially the P&C insurers, as most of their expenses are not VAT deductible. What’s the impact: Revenue recognition: from gross premium to net premium. Under the VAT system, only the net revenue (exclusive of the 6% VAT) is recognised as revenue, compared with the sales tax system, where the revenue includes the sales tax amount. Namely, the revenue accrued using VAT comes to 94.34% (ie, 1/[1+0.06]) of that under the sales tax. Premium revenue: higher tax amount for P&C. The premium tax base for VAT is the same as that for sales tax, ie, premiums for short-term (one year or below) life insurance, short-term accidental insurance and most P&C insurance are taxable. For P&C insurance, only agriculture, export credit, export cargo and policy critical illness insurance are currently tax-free (c.11% of premiums for PICC P&C in 2015). For life insurance, 80-95% of the premiums are tax-free. As the overall VAT tax rate (6.23%, surcharges included; [1-0.9434] * [1+0.07+0.03]) is higher than that of sales tax (5.5%, surcharges included), the tax amount will be substantially (c.18% p.a. on our estimates) higher for P&C insurers. Investment income: slightly higher tax amount. We note that the tax base for investment income is largely the same under for VAT and sales tax, except that all repurchase transactions and enterprise annuity businesses are tax-free under VAT. But given the VAT tax-rate (surcharges included) is 6.23%, higher than the previous 5.5% sales tax rate, the tax amount is likely to be slightly higher. Also, interest from AFS corporate bonds and dividends from equities might be subject to VAT. Further regulatory clarification will be needed. Expenses: most not deductible. As most of the insurers’ expenses are either paid to individuals (most of the claims, individual agent commissions and staff expenses) or are accrued on a non-cash basis (reserves), input VAT invoices for such expenses are not available and hence these expenses are not VAT-deductible. We understand that some P&C insurers are trying to up the number of auto claims settled with car repair shops instead of paying individual customers directly, as car repair stores can issue input VAT invoices. What we recommend: We believe the May 2016 China P&C insurers’ premium data slowed down due to the above reasons. We believe the overall VAT reform is negative for the P&C insurers but neutral for the life insurers (see Impact from potential VAT reform and A new dawn for our sector views). How we differ: We believe the market has underestimated the negative impact of VAT reform on P&C insurers.

China Insurance Sector
VAT reform: more negative for P&C insurers than life
Revenue recognition changed from gross premium to net premium (5.7% lower) for taxable premium, more negative for P&C than life
Taxable investment income is now being charged at a higher tax rate of 6.23% (surcharges included; previously 5.5%)
Most of the claims, commission and operating expenses might not be VAT deductible; we reiterate our Positive stance

China Information Technology
What's new: We attended Alibaba’s first-ever investor day and 3 theme tours organised by the company (Rural Taobao, AliCloud and Tmall Supermarket) from 13-15 June. We came away from the investor day more optimistic about the company’s long-term strategic vision and execution capability. Alibaba remains our top pick in the China e-commerce sector. What's the impact: Not just a sales channel. Management emphasised that Alibaba now provides merchants with a much broader range of value-added services than it had in the past, from reaching customers (online marketing) to facilitating transactions (online payment & logistics). We believe that through Alibaba’s owned or invested digital properties (Mobile Taobao, Weibo, Youku Tudou, etc), the company’s positioning now enables it to retain users and control the entire purchasing funnel (from shopping intent generation to transaction settlement). As a result, it can now generate revenue not just from merchants’ sales budgets, but also from their brand building/fulfilment/payment/administrative budgets, leading to a much bigger revenue pool for Alibaba to tap into in the future. Enhanced communication likely to lift sentiment. After hearing top executives present a detailed overview of each business line as well as the firm-wide strategic vision, we got the sense that management is more inclined to disclose a greater amount of operating and financial data in the future in order to help investors better understand Alibaba’s business. We believe this improved financial disclosure will lift overall sentiment towards the stock as it approaches the 1Q FY17 results. The practice of disclosing revenue guidance and segmental profitability reporting will provide the market with a revenue growth expectation anchor, which could lead to less share-price volatility going forward. Finally, we welcome Alibaba’s recent share repurchase (USD2bn from Softbank) and management’s equity stake increase (USD400m) as it will be value-accretive for minority shareholders, and shows management’s confidence in the company’s business growth trajectory. What we recommend: We reiterate Buy (1) and raise our 12-month TP to USD97 (from USD93), on an unchanged target PER of 30x (a 20% premium to Alibaba’s China Internet and e-commerce peers) applied to FY17E non-GAAP EPS. We also raise our 2016-18E core earnings by 4.3-5.1% to factor in potentially higher revenue growth, and a slightly lower gross margin and share count. Key risk: a slowdown in the Taobao marketplace. How we differ: We are more positive than the market on Alibaba’s mobile monetisation outlook, despite our below-market operating-margin forecasts for FY16-18.

What's new: Following our recent visit to PICC P&C in Beijing, we now expect stable profitability and premium growth for the company in 2016. What's the impact: Auto-premium growth in line with sector. According to PICC P&C, it accumulated around 10% YoY auto premium growth for 5M16, slightly higher than the sector average but much lower than Ping An P&C’s. For 2016, PICC P&C has revised up its auto premium target to “the same as the sector average” from “slightly lower than the sector average” which was the case for the past few years. Note that starting from May 2016, all of the China insurers’ premium revenue has been affected by the VAT reform (see our associated note, VAT reform: more negative for P&C insurers than life). Auto-insurance pricing reform is to expand nationwide by end-June 2016. According to PICC P&C, for the first 2 batches of areas impacted by the reforms for 2016 YTD, the spike in expense ratio has offset the fall in the claim ratio, leaving the combined ratio (CR) unchanged YoY. Separately, based on local media, the auto CR at PICC P&C, Ping An P&C and China Pacific P&C rose by 35bps, 116bps and 125bps, respectively, and sector auto CR by 69bp YoY nationwide in 4M16. Besides, we see the claim ratio rebounding towards the policy year-end (see Reality check for property & casualty). Non-auto lines have become the major driver of overall premium growth (c.19% YoY for 5M16, on our estimates). As per PICC P&C, liability insurance is one of its premium growth areas for 2016, while its agriculture insurance premium growth is likely to be slower than the sector due to the increased competition. Traditional lines closely related to the macro economy, such as cargo and marine insurance have seen negative premium growth YTD. Non-auto profitability might come under pressure due to: 1) a higher proportion (>50%) of government critical illness insurance business (under A&H insurance). Currently, the CR of this unit is slightly above 100%, and 2) more frequent natural disasters than usual in 5M16, the July-Aug period should be the key to determine full-year losses relating to natural disasters. What we recommend: We maintain our Hold (3) rating on the stock and our Gordon Growth Model-derived 12-month TP of HKD13.0. Its 2016E PBR of 1.4x looks fair to us given its 11-14% ROE in 2016-18E (but overshadowed by contribution from Huaxia Bank, which accounts for c.18% of its PBT). Upside risk: faster-than-expected premium agriculture insurance growth; downside risk: a rise in the CR in areas where auto insurance reform started in 2015. How we differ: Unlike others in the market, we believe it is still too early to conclude that the CR could decline after auto insurance pricing reform is rolled out nationwide.

China Industrials
What's new: China State Construction International (CSCI) attended our Auto and Industrial Leader Conference today (20 June). Overall we remain confident on CSCI’s long-term business growth prospects and see its current valuation as undemanding. We expect more good news. What's the impact: New-contract growth remains strong – According to management, CSCI was awarded new contracts worth HKD37bn in 5M16, 47% of management’s 2016 full-year guidance. Like previous years, management sees a target revision as a possibility during its interim results announcement in August. Overall, CSCI expects its PRC segment to continue to lead its new-contract growth, while management sees upside for the margins of its HK construction segment, which was dragged down by the provision made for the lead water incident in 2015. Gearing concerns should be relieved – CSCI’s end-2015 net gearing ratio rose to 46%, slightly above the 40% management target, due mainly to CNY depreciation. After the injection of China Overseas Building (COB) from its parent company in mid-May and strong cash collection, CSCI’s net gearing has fallen back to about 30%. Management is confident in maintaining the ratio below 40% for the next three years. Next M&A target will likely be overseas assets – Though no concrete timetable was given, management said the next asset injection target would likely be an overseas construction subsidiary from its parent in the mature Asian market. We expect share issuance on the asset acquisition, but believe sentiment would be better if it were acquired at the current low valuation of the stock. We cut our 2016-18E EPS by 6-11% to incorporate the share-dilution effect resulting from the recent asset injection as well as the share placement. However, our 12-month target price remains unchanged at HKD15 as we roll over our valuation base to the average of our 2016-17E EPS (previously 2016E). Our target PER remains unchanged at 12x. What we recommend: We reiterate our Buy (1) rating. We think the market has overreacted on the purchase of COB and expect the stock to recover on a new-contract revision, strong net-profit growth and asset injection. The stock is trading close to its railway construction peers, which we see as undemanding due to its strong earnings track record. The key risk to our call would be lower-than-expected new-contract growth. How we differ: Our 2016-18E EPS are 4-9% below the consensus as we have factored in the dilution effect of the recent share placement.
20 June 2016
Worth a revisit
New-contract growth on track; revision of target likely Improvement in cash flow and asset injection could serve as catalysts Reiterating our Buy (1) rating and TP of HKD15

China Information Technology
What's new: We joined Sunny’s factory tour in Zhejiang, China, on 17-18 June and came away impressed by the long-term vision, comprehensive product roadmap, and in-house equipment R&D capability on display. What's the impact: Confident tone for 2016. Management is upbeat on the 2016 outlook and kept its 2016 shipment guidance unchanged: handset camera module (HCM) up 15-25% YoY, handset lens sets (HLS) up 20-30% YoY, and vehicle lens sets (VLS) up 30%-plus YoY. The company’s positive tone for 2016 should relieve some investors’ concerns over HLS and HCM after the slow shipments of January-May (HLS up 12% YoY, HCM down 6% YoY), and echoes our earlier point that we expect Sunny to have a backend-loaded 2016 thanks to a ramp-up of shipments for new projects wins and spec upgrades in 2H16 (see On track for a robust 2016). Favourable industry trends ahead. For the handset business, Sunny sees dual cams as an important emerging trend and believes it is well-positioned to benefit. For HCM, Sunny sees itself having a competitive advantage over its peers thanks to its high yields and operating efficiency on the back of its use of highly automated production lines and in-house equipment design capability. For HLS, Sunny sees optical zoom being a key feature for dual-cam usage and hence has a solution ready and targets mass production soon. In addition to dual cams, Sunny expects camera-spec upgrades in smartphones, such as mega pixel migration, OIS, and PDAF, to continue. For VLS, Sunny is positive on the long-term growth prospects, driven by regulatory requirements, the increasing penetration of ADAS and the rising autopilot trend. Sunny expects to outgrow the 20-30% YoY industry revenue growth in a few years on its market-leading position. Well-positioned for emerging opportunities. Management targets to become a total optical solution (“smart eye”) supplier in the long term. In addition to handsets and vehicles, Sunny sees new opportunities from drones, AR/VR, and 360-degree cameras. We currently assume a limited revenue contribution from these new devices over our forecast horizon but believe Sunny is well-positioned for such business growth through its comprehensive product offerings. Thus, if there is significant volume ramp-up in these segments in the near future, that should bring further earnings upside, in our view. What we recommend: We leave our 2016-18 earnings forecasts unchanged. We reaffirm Outperform (2) with a higher target price of HKD29 (from HKD26.7), based on an unchanged 21x PER, near the high point of its past-3-year trading range of 9-22x, on our 1-year-forward EPS (from 2016E EPS). We view the muted 1H16 as an opportunity to accumulate the shares. Key risk: worse-than-expected competition in HCM and HLS. How we differ: We are more positive than the market on Sunny’s gross-margin expansion, and hence are 2-4% above the consensus on our 2016-17E EPS.

Highlights from site visit: confident of strong 2016

What's new: POSCO’s 2Q16 earnings are tracking in line with the current Bloomberg consensus forecast, but we are now less optimistic on POSCO’s earnings beyond 3Q16 based on an expected 20.3% YoY decline in iron-ore prices in 2016. What’s the impact: We look for POSCO’s 2Q16 spread between its carbon steel product prices and input cost to rise by KRW7,000/tonne QoQ. In 2Q16, POSCO has been able to raise product prices for both domestic HRC (roughly KRW70,000/tonne QoQ) and CRC for distributors, given the 3-month time lag between domestic HRC prices and China’s HRC spot prices as well as tighter demand and supply for the domestic market. As a result, we look for POSCO’s parent-only steel business operating-profit margin to expand by 0.3pp QoQ to 9.8%. As such, we now forecast POSCO’s 2Q16 revenue and operating profit to rise by 6.7% QoQ and 11.6% QoQ to KRW13,295bn and KRW736bn, respectively (2Q16 OPM of 5.5% vs. 1Q16 OPM of 5.3%), compared to the current Bloomberg-consensus revenue and operating profit forecasts of KRW13,823bn and KRW738bn, respectively. We look for POSCO’s 3Q16 spread between carbon steel product prices and input costs to widen due to the recent hike in prices of its high-margin automotive OEMs and more importantly due to 3-month time-lag between China’s steel spot prices and POSCO’s steel-product prices. However, we now look for iron prices to decline from 3Q16 onwards (positive correlation of 86% with POSCO’s share prices) on higher inventory levels of nearly 4 months for Chinese ports (or 100m tonne) and on a faster-than-expected increase in supply for iron-ore in Australia and China. Due to the continued rise in China’s steel production, we expect China’s steel prices to remain weak in 2H16. As such, we lower our 2016-18 EPS forecasts by 1.2-7.1%. What we recommend: In turn, we lower our 12-month Gordon Growth Model-based TP to KRW250,000 (from KRW270,000). We still look for POSCO’s share price to rebound on heightened earnings visibility throughout 2016 and ahead of its interim dividend payment of KRW2,000/share(FY16E dividend of KRW8,000/share or dividend yield of 3.9%). We think the current valuation is still appealing at a 2016E PBR of 0.4x (vs. past-3-year range of 0.33-0.71x). Key risk: larger-than-expected decline in China’s steel prices or iron-ore prices. How we differ: Our 2016-18E EPS are now roughly similar to the current Bloomberg consensus forecasts.

Korea Information Technology
What's new: On 13-17 June, Kakao met investors in Asia and highlighted that it has successfully streamlined its online and mobile services and is likely to reignite its revenue-growth momentum from 2H16, helped by new mobile ad products and its initiatives for mobile game publishing, content distribution and mobile commerce. Management is still confident of monetising strongly its new mobile-to-offline (M2O) services from 2H16, given robust initial operating metrics for Kakao Driver and Kakao Hairshop. What's the impact: At the meetings, Kakao emphasised that its online-ads platform will likely see weak revenue growth in 2Q16, but mobile-ads sales should increase strongly once it starts to monetise Channel Tap and Sharp Search in 2H16. Also, it expects to generate new ad revenues from location-based data on Kakao Taxi, B2B push messaging service, and rewarded app advertising. After streamlining its ad networks and advertiser base, management expects its ad prices to rise over the medium term. Management believes the company’s games revenue will grow strongly from 2Q16, on solid overseas gamer traffic for Black Desert, enhanced game offerings from third-party partners, and new mobile ads for game apps. Although it plans to provide detailed operating metrics for Kakao Driver (designated-driver service, launched 31 May 2016) in early August, it noted the initial figures for Kakao Driver have shown strong momentum in the number of registered drivers, daily calls and application downloads. In addition to 20% commission revenues, Kakao believes Kakao Driver could become a scalable service infrastructure for its other M2O services such as Kakao Homeclean and Kakao Parking, which it will introduce in 2H16. Of particular note, it projects strong revenues from commerce and content, product listing for sale, and the financial consolidation of Loen Entertainment (016170 KS, not rated) from 2Q16, in which Kakao acquired a 76.4% stake in March 2016. What we recommend: We reaffirm our Buy (1) call and 12-month target price of KRW123,000, based on our 2016E EPS and an unchanged target PER of 29x, the average 2016E PER of its global peer group (Bloomberg consensus EPS forecasts). The key risk: slower than-expected monetisation of new M2O services and ads products. How we differ: We are more positive than the market on: 1) earnings contributions from new M2O services, 2) revenue from mobile-ads offerings, and 3) operating leverage due to the growing scale of its new mobile-platform services.

What's new: Revenue-growth drivers and threat of new entrants were the key topics of discussion among investors during our recent NDR with M1 in Japan. Below we present some of the key highlights and reaffirm our Buy (1) rating. What's the impact: M1 said the prequalification exercise for prospective new entrants should be completed by 3Q16. Management added that they are not taking the threat lightly and are fully prepared to meet it head on. M1 expects its fixed-services business to be the near-term revenue growth driver, and sees opportunities in the Internet-of-things (IOT), Cloud and Big Data services segments over the longer term. In fixed services (1Q16: 12% of service revenue), M1 said it is making inroads in the corporate segment, which contributed nearly half of its fixed-services revenue in 1Q16, though accounting for only 10% of its fixed-services customer base. In the cloud/IOT/cyber security/ data analytics solutions areas, M1 plans to leverage on its partnerships (with VMware, Palo Alto Networks and Huawei) to grow its presence. To drive its corporate-market foray, M1 plans to continue investing in fiber networks (1,000km length today vs. 400kms a year ago) over the next 3 years. M1 said its Oman investment plans are progressing at a slower pace than it had anticipated. The company still appears to be keen on expanding in overseas markets, provided the targets are of the right size relative to its balance sheet and offer a meaningful source of differentiation. We see M1’s M&A strategy as sound as it strikes a careful balance between seeking growth opportunities and ensuring that its dividend outlook remains intact. Meanwhile, M1 expects its core mobile-business outlook to be stable. Management sees the recent launch of data upsize offers and SIM-only plans as a means to revitalize and enhance the value proposition for its customer base. M1 said participation rates for its SIM-only plans are quite healthy (15% of gross additions with the majority signing up for 12-month contracts), and reiterated that these plans, adjusted for lack of handset subsidies, generate higher gross-profit plans than its regular offers. Finally, management also reaffirmed its dividend policy (minimum 80% payout) and commitment to shareholder return. Overall, we remain confident in our forecast that M1’s fixed-broadband market share will improve from 10.2% in 2015 to 13.8% by 2018. What we recommend: We reaffirm our Buy (1) call and DDM-based 12-month TP of SGD2.94. Risk: emergence of a fourth player in the market. How we differ: Our 2017-18E EPS are 7-12% above consensus, as we believe new-entrant threats in Singapore’s mobile market are overplayed.

Modified plans WCT’s planned listing of its REIT and construction arm has been delayed
due to the extended time needed to meet listing requirements. It only
raised RM85m from the exercise of its WCT-WC warrants. The shortfall in
cash raised could see WCT issuing new equity via a private placement.
WCT is considering the divestment of The Ascent office building and
other assets as part of its de-gearing exercise. Short-term concerns could
dampen share price performance but long-term prospect remains good.
Maintain BUY with RM2.02 target price, based on 10% discount to RNAV. Construction arm listing delayed WCT’s planned listing of its construction arm has been delayed to 2Q17 from 4Q16. The extended time is needed to meet the chain-listing rule of having separate Board of Directors and management team for the construction arm. Applying a PER of 14x and FY15 net profit of RM107m, valuation for the construction arm is RM1.5bn. Assuming WCT divest a 40% stake in the construction arm, it could raise proceeds amounting to RM600m. REIT listing to proceed first WCT REIT is expected to list first in 1Q17 by injecting Paradigm PJ and BBT malls with indicative RNAV of RM1.2bn. Assuming WCT divests a 60% stake in WCT REIT, it could raise RM720m in proceeds. By retaining a 40% stake, WCT REIT will become an associate and its debt will be de-consolidated, reducing group net gearing. WCT has also identified assets worth RM500m for disposal, including The Ascent and 39-acre land in Serendah. This is in addition to the divestment of the 608.6-acre land in Rawang into a joint venture with UEM Sunrise to raise RM215m in proceeds.
Possible private placement WCT has shareholders’ prior approval to issue new shares up to 10% of its paid-up capital. It can issue up to 124.8m shares worth RM192m at current share price. A partial private placement below the 10% threshold is sufficient to cover the shortfall from the warrant conversion.
Long-term BUY We estimate that its net gearing will reduce from 0.81x currently to 0.4x if the above corporate exercises are completed. This could appease the debt rating agencies to preserve its current AA- rating and remove the current negative rating watch. We maintain BUY with a target price of RM2.02.

Nippon Television Holdings (9404)
Target price: Y2,360 (from Y2,400 as of 6 Feb)
Share price (17 Jun): Y1,599 | Up/downside: +47.6%
Growth to accelerate for non-broadcasting ops Likely higher ad rates amid firm ranking No. 1 for viewer ratings See Hulu, Tipness growing to account for almost 10% profit in FY18 Stock should trade at around sector avg. P/E
What's new: We upgraded our investment rating on Nippon Television Holdings from 2 (Outperform) to 1 (Buy). While the shares have underperformed since the start of the year, down 27% vs. the 17% decline for TOPIX, we think the firm is rather compelling given likely higher ad rates for mainstay broadcasting operations and since it has also embarked on developing non-broadcasting businesses. Outlook: We are encouraged for two reasons: (1) prospects for broadcasting revenue growth on the back of higher ad rates amid the company ranking No. 1 in viewer ratings and (2) expectations for a growing contribution to operating profit from the non-broadcasting businesses of video streaming service Hulu and Tipness sports clubs over the medium term. We forecast y/y spot ad revenue growth of 3.8% for FY16 and 4.1% for FY17 due to likely higher spot advertising rates amid strong viewer ratings. Meanwhile, video streaming service Hulu, which is likely to see losses shrink in FY16, should turn profitable in FY17 and book operating profit of Y3.0bn in FY18. Tipness sports clubs look set for sustained double-digit operating profit growth on the back of aggressive rollouts of FastGym24 low-price, small gyms. These two businesses combined were a drag of Y900mn on earnings in FY15 but are likely to account for 7% of operating profit in FY18. As such, we forecast Nippon Television’s profit growth accelerating, with operating profit up 2.5% in FY16, increasing 10.5% in FY17, and advancing 14.6% in FY18. We also have expectations for sustained modest improvement in ROE from 6.4% in FY15 to 6.8% in FY17 and 7.3% in FY18. What we recommend: We upgraded our investment rating from 2 (Outperform) to 1 (Buy) and set our six- to 12-month target price at Y2,360 (47.6% upside from current level). To reach our price objective we applied the broadcasting sector average P/E of 15X to our FY16 EPS estimate. We think the shares deserve a valuation around the sector average, at the very least, in light of strong viewer ratings and growth prospects for non-broadcasting businesses.

Kotobuki Spirits (2222)
Target price: Y4,200
Share price (17 Jun): Y2,972 | Up/downside: +41.3%
Major confectionary manufacturer & wholesaler Offers wide range of brands including LeTAO, Tokyo Milk Cheese Factory See mid/long-term growth on growth of souvenir market, internal efforts Initiate coverage with 2 (Outperform) rating
What's new: We initiate coverage of Kotobuki Spirits with a 2 (Outperform) rating. Company overview: Kotobuki Spirits is a major manufacturer and wholesaler of confectionaries of various types from Japanese sweets to cakes/pastries for use as souvenirs. It offers a wide range of brands, including LeTAO (handled by subsidiary KCC), in addition to Tokyo Milk Cheese Factory and The Maple Mania (handled by subsidiary Sucrey). The firm has two major strengths: its solid sales network and brand development capabilities. It has steadily expanded its sales network across the nation over the years through M&As and sales efforts. It also gathers information from clients in the course of its sales activities for use in developing new brands. Our focus is on the firm’s mid/long-term potential from the growth of the souvenir market and its internal efforts. We expect the souvenir market to continue expanding over the medium to long term amid increasing numbers of foreign visitors to Japan. The firm should also see sales growth from existing operations driven by sales network expansion in train stations and airports mainly in the Tokyo metropolitan area, as well as increased airport sales and expansion overseas. These factors should allow sales growth of around Y3bn annually (about level for FY15) to continue over the mid/long term. Outlook: We forecast operating profit at Y3.95bn (up 21% y/y, company projection Y3.68bn) for FY16, Y4.5bn (up 14%) for FY17, and Y5.15bn (up 14%) for FY18. We anticipate sales and operating profit growth over the medium to long term amid expansion of the souvenir market, mainly fueled by KCC, Sucrey, and Kotobukiseika. What we recommend: We initiate coverage of Kotobuki Spirits with a 2 (Outperform) rating and a six- to 12-month target price of Y4,200, equivalent to around 50X our FY16 EPS estimate of Y83.2. We see a current-FY P/E of 50X as attainable for food manufacturers with a high ROE and operating profit growth rate.

Indonesia update: La Niña watch
Harry Su E-mail: [email protected] Phone: +6221 250 5735
Here comes the rain
Warning from National Disaster Mitigation Agency: A La Niña weather
pattern is expected to develop during the Northern Hemisphere during the
summer of 2016, with about a 75% chance of occurrence during the fall and
winter of 2016-17 (exhibit 5), according to the International Research Institute
for Climate and Society. La Nina occurs when the temperature of the ocean
surface in the western part of Sumatera is warmer than that in east coast of
Africa, creating water vapor and affecting regions such as the western part of
North Sumatera; the western part of West Sumatera; South Sumatera;
Lampung; the western part of Java; Kalimantan; Sulawesi and Papua. Due to La
Nina’s unusual weather pattern, the National Disaster Mitigation Agency has
cautioned for unusual precipitation during this year’s dry season in July, August
and September. However, even during June, with less than a 50% probability,
the rainy season in Indonesia has been much heavier than usual. Based on our
research, rainfall in Sumatra, for example, has been the heaviest in the past 10
years. This should have the following impact on our covered stocks and sectors:
Winners:
Cigarettes: Stick sales typically increase during the rainy season.
Healthcare: Higher sales due to flu-related illnesses caused by the rains.
CPO: Prices could rise on lower production due to soil shock caused by heavy rains as well as the inability of workers to optimally harvest.
Tin: Possible lower to flat production volumes for TINS (TINS IJ-IDR740-
REDUCE-TP:IDR411), resulting in higher tin prices, although this could be
offset by higher costs stemming from increased onshore mining as the sea becomes unfriendly.
Losers:
Retailers: Bad for retailers in general as people tend to stay home and shop less during the rainy season; this is particularly true for RALS’s (RALS IJ, IDR900-BUY-TP:IDR1,080) low-end shoppers who do not own cars.
Taxi: The rise in the number of passengers during rainy days could be offset
by heavy traffic and the preference to stay indoors.
Nickel: As Indonesia is not a major producer of refined nickel, prices are unlikely to move up in a major way, while furnaces would not be working
optimally during heavy rains, leading to lower or flat production output.
Coal: As only the world’s fifth largest producer, the country’s lower coal output may not translate into sufficiently high coal prices to benefit producers, while coal’s higher moisture content could lead to lower selling prices.

Euro area
Construction output soft at start of Q2
Having grown by more than 1%Q/Q in Q415 and Q116, euro area construction output was soft at the start of the second quarter, falling 0.2%M/M. As such, since the strong start to the year when output rose 2.0%M/M in January thanks not least to favourable winter weather, construction activity has contracted for three consecutive months leaving the level in April more than 1% below the Q116 average and 0.4% lower than a year earlier. The weakness in the latest month related to new building work, which also fell for the third consecutive month, while civil engineering output rose for the first month since January. At the country level, random volatility appeared to be significant as recent trends reversed, with output in the sector down in Germany and Spain following marked gains in the first quarter but activity up in France and Italy following notable drops in the first quarter. However, while growth in the sector looks set to be much weaker than in the previous two quarters, a moderate uptrend in construction output seems likely to resume soon supported by a range of factors including lower interest rates for borrowers, increased lending for house purchase, a gradual rise in home prices and improving labour market conditions. Indeed, other economic data today reinforced expectations of further declines in unemployment over the near term with the euro area job vacancy rate rising in Q1 to 1.7%, the highest for more than a decade among the nineteen countries currently making up the euro area. At the sectoral level, the vacancy rate remained highest in services (2.0%), while among countries it unsurprisingly remained particularly elevated in Germany (2.5%). Indeed, not least given the country’s tight labour market, which is generating the euro area’s firmest wage growth and supporting the region’s fastest house-price inflation, we expect the trend in construction activity to remain most robust in Germany. The day ahead in the euro area and US
Tuesday brings the first of numerous June economic sentiment survey results due this week in the shape of the German ZEW investor sentiment survey. Given the financial market risk aversion prevailing over the past couple of weeks, the current conditions and expectations measures might both be expected to show a deterioration in investor confidence. Meanwhile, the German Constitutional Court will pronounce its judgment in its proceedings on the legality of the ECB’s OMT programme with a ruling broadly in favour of the current asset-purchase arrangements likely. And ECB President Draghi will speak at the European Parliament. In the US, Fed Chair Yellen will testify on monetary policy to the Senate Banking panel while the Treasury will sell 5Y Notes.

Opinions polls show a shift back towards a Remain vote
With new opinion polls out over the weekend suggesting a swing in support back towards the Remain camp, global risk appetite was much improved today. Sterling was on a tear, up by late afternoon by more than 3 cents against the dollar to its highest level since end-May, while 10Y Gilt yields were up 10bps back firmly above 1.2% for the first time in a week and the FTSE closed up almost 3% on the day. And it was a similar story elsewhere, with European Bourses posting sharp gains and periphery sovereign spreads significantly tighter. In terms of the polls themselves, while one published by Opinium/Observer suggested that support for the two sides was running neck and neck at 44% apiece, a Yougov/Sunday times poll gave Remain a one-point lead (44-43) and a poll by Survation/MoS gave Remain a three-point lead (45-42). The shift in support back to the Remain camp appears to be matching the trend of the Scottish referendum whereby there was a swing back towards the status quo in the days ahead of the poll as voters appeared to become more averse to the risks of dramatic change. Of course, an increase in support for Remain might also be partly a reaction to the murder of the (Remain campaign's) MP Jo Cox last week and distaste at the dog-whistle tactics related to immigration employed by some of the Leave campaign, which also today saw a prominent Conservative former Minister switch sides to Remain. However, with polls also having signalled that those in favour of Brexit might on average still be more likely actually to vote, Thursday’s referendum is still likely to be close. The opinion polls indicate that a key factor influencing voting intentions is the potential impact on the economy. And the IMF report on Brexit published on the weekend came up with some familiar-looking estimates on the potential impact of a vote to Leave, e.g. under an ‘adverse’ scenario UK GDP would be more than 5½% lower by 2019, while the government’s finances would be significantly weaker, with deficits persisting across the forecast horizon. Looking at direct spill-overs to other countries, given its significant economic and financial integration with the UK, Ireland is estimated to be worst hit, with GDP almost 2% lower by 2019 under the adverse scenario, while the Netherlands and Belgium would also see GDP more than ½% lower than it otherwise would be by then but other countries less affected. However, the IMF’s estimates do not factor in the impact of any re-pricing of risk, which we think might be sizeable across the EU and would more significantly harm the economies of member states in Southern as well as Central and Eastern Europe. The day ahead in the UK
Away from the referendum, the data flow tomorrow brings the CBI Industrial Trends survey for June and the public finance figures for May, which are expected to show that public sector borrowing in May was £9.5bn, nearly £1bn lower compared to a year ago.

What’s new BCIA announced May operating data. We see signs of slower growth in international
traffic which would be a concern to the market but in line with our expectation. Highlights Moderate growth in aircraft movements – BCIA recorded aircraft movements of
51,184 in May, up 5.4% YoY. By segment, aircraft movements for domestic air routes increased by 5.9% YoY, while aircraft movements for international, Hong Kong , Macau and Taiwan air routes rose by 3.7% YoY. For the first 5 months, BCIA’s total aircraft movements expanded by 2.7% YoY, reaching 249,510, slightly better than our forecasts of 1% YoY (flat YoY for domestic and 4% YoY increase for international).
Passenger throughput growth dragged down by international routes – The company registered passenger throughput of 7,805,000 in May, up 4.4% YoY. The passenger throughput of domestic routes increased by 5.0% YoY. However, its passenger throughput growth for international, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan routes slowed to 2.5% YoY (vs 12.2% in Apr and 12.4% YTD). Management explained the slower growth of international routes was due to the high base last year when domestic airlines rapidly deployed new capacities in the segment. For 5M16, BCIA’s total passenger throughput was 38,075,000, rising by 3.6% YoY, slightly better than our forecast of 3% YoY (1% YoY increase for domestic and 9% YoY for international).
Recommendation The overall May data showed slower growth in international passenger traffic due to a
high base when airlines expanded capacities. We believe this may be a concern for investors as the investment thesis for BCIA is mainly its ability to restrict the slots being used on domestic and allocating more to international routes. We reiterate Hold (3) rating on the stock with a 12-month target price of HKD8.1. Key risk to our call would be higher- or lower-than-expected passenger throughput growth.

What’s new: China Harmony attended our Auto & Industrial Leaders Conference in HK today. Overall, the company sees its core dealership and independent after-sales service as being on track to achieve its full-year target, while its EV business development is also seeing good progress and would be a long-term earnings driver for the company. Analysis • New car sales target of 15% volume growth on flat margin - China Harmony guided
for the new-car sales volume to increase by 15% YoY and a high single-digit revenue growth for 2016, which would outperform BMW China’s 8.5% sales volume target. The company also guided for a flat gross margin at around 4%. Management see good sales orders from the new BMW X1 as well.
• After-sales service sees robust revenue growth - Management expects to see 20-
25% YoY revenue growth for after-sales service from 4S dealerships, and 60% YoY growth for independent sales outlets, the key segment that differentiates China Harmony from the other dealers. Management expects the gross margin to improve slightly as more outlets mature. According to the management, about 50-70% of current sales generated from independent after-sales outlets are from insurance companies.
• Rapid expansion plan for after-sales stores – The company operated 158
independent after-sales stores at end-2015, up from 43 stores at end-2014. Management expects its network to cover 300 independent after-sales outlets in 2016 and 500 in 2017, and eventually reach 1,000 outlets in 2020, at an average of 150-200 store additions per year. The investment for each center store would be CNY4-5 million while the investment for each community store would only be around half a million. Its CAPEX plan for 2016-18 is only around CNY600-800m per year, including CNY200-300m in capex on the EV business. The remaining capex would be spent on independent after-sales stores and 4S shop openings, at 2-3 stores per year.
• First low end i-car by 1H2017 - Management plans to launch the first model of its low-
end i-car by the first half of 2017, and target the lower-tier cities with a selling price at CNY78,000, after a government subsidy of CNY80-90,000. The driving range would be at 150-200km. It expects a sales volume of 10,000 units for the model in 2017.
• First high-end FMC EV in 2019 - The first model of its high-end EV will be an SUV,
priced at CNY280,000 after government subsidies. With the senior management of BMW and Dongfeng Infinity joining the e-car team, management believes the show car of the first model will be ready in Sep 2017, while the actual launch will be in 2019. Management is confident the e-car will be well received on its first launch in 2019.
Recommendation • We have a Buy (1) call and see strong 1H16 results and the potential listing of its assets
on the A-share market as potential near-term share-price catalysts. Separately, we view Future Mobility Corporation (FMC; previously known as E-car) as a possible long-term rerating catalyst. Our SOTP-based target price of HKD5.8 values Harmony’s core dealership business at HKD5.20 per share and its EV business at HKD0.6 per share. The key risk: lower-than-expected after-sales demand.

Unless otherwise specified, these ratings are set with a 12-month horizon. Thus, it is possible that future price volatility may cause a temporary mismatch between upside/downside for a stock based on the market price and the formal rating. For the sector, Thanachart looks at two areas, ie, the sector outlook and the sector weighting. For the sector outlook, an arrow pointing up, or the word “Positive”, is used when Thanachart sees the industry trend improving. An arrow pointing down, or the word “Negative”, is used when Thanachart sees the industry trend deteriorating. A double-tipped horizontal arrow, or the word “Unchanged”, is used when the industry trend does not look as if it will alter. The industry trend view is Thanachart’s top-down perspective on the industry rather than a bottom-up interpretation from the stocks that Thanachart covers. An “Overweight” sector weighting is used when Thanachart has BUYs on majority of the stocks under its coverage by market cap. “Underweight” is used when Thanachart has SELLs on majority of the stocks it covers by market cap. “Neutral” is used when there are relatively equal weightings of BUYs and SELLs.
