MARKET NEWS

The FBMKLCI slid 1.49pt to close at 1,669.50 yesterday. Meanwhile, Asian stocks fell the

most in two weeks as Chinese shares slumped before a week-long holiday and amid

uncertainty over whether OPEC will be able to curb output that has pushed down oil

prices. The MSCI Asia Pacific Index dropped 0.9% to 140.68. The FBMKLCI’s top gainers

were Hong Leong Bank (+2.2%), CIMB Group Holdings (+1.9%) and Public Bank (+1.2%)

while the top losers were Genting Malaysia (-2.6%), Axiata Group (-2.5%) and

SapuraKencana Petroleum (-1.9%). In the broader market, losers outpaced gainers 484

to 324 with 372 counters unchanged. Turnover was at 1.64b with shares valued at

RM1.57b.

From the technical perspective, the FBMKLCI remained steady within the prior expected

range of 1,660-1,674. As both the DMI and MACD are still on the bearish crossover, we

believe the consolidation is not yet over as selling pressure is still visible. As such, further

consolidation can be expected while violation above the 1,674 level could kick-start an

upward climb in the foreseeable future. Support and resistance levels are still maintained

as follows:

Support: 1,648, 1,640

Resistance: 1,692, 1,700

On Monday, US stocks closed lower as worries about Germany’s Deutsche Bank weighed

on the financial sector while the upcoming US presidential debate also contributed to

jittery sentiment. The DJIA fell 166.62pt, or 0.91%, to settle at 18,094.83 while the

S&P500 edged lower by 18.59pt, or 0.86% to 2,146.10. US-produced crude rose nearly

3% to US$45.67, as traders look ahead to a key meeting in Algiers where OPEC

members are again discussing whether to cap production in some fashion. Meanwhile,

1.586%. Falling stocks outnumbered advancing ones on the NYSE by 2,244 to 919, and

TRADERS’ CORNER

Emico Holdings (EMI MK) Technical BUY on breakout with +27.5%

potential return

Last price: RM0.235

Target price : RM0.295, RM0.325

Support : RM0.22

Stop-loss : RM0.215

BUY on breakout with a target price of

RM0.325 and stop-loss at RM0.215. Based

on the daily chart, EMI is making a pullback

from the recent high and has established

support at RM0.22. We expect the share

price to continue the upwards movement

once it manages to break the breakout

level of RM0.255. This is supported by an

uptick in the RSI and a bullish crossover in

the MACD. We peg our targets at RM0.295

and RM0.325 in the near term.

Expected time frame: 2 weeks to 2

months.

Fibon (FIBON MK) Technical BUY on breakout with +30.7%

potential return

Last price : RM0.62

Target price : RM0.775, RM0.83

Support : RM0.56

Stop-loss : RM0.555

BUY on breakout with a target price of

RM0.83 and stop-loss at RM0.555. Based

on the daily chart, FIBON tried to penetrate

the breakout level of RM0.635 and

managed to close above BBI line on

yesterday’s movement. Growing

momentum as shown by an uptick in RSI

should lift the share price higher. Moreover,

positive readings from DMI indicators,

which are used to gauge trend strength,

have given an indication of a stronger

upward move from here onwards. As such,

we expect FIBON will continue the upwards

movement to the previous high of RM0.835

if it manages to penetrate the breakout

level of RM0.635.

Expected time frame: 2 weeks to 2

months.

(SURIA MK) Technical BUY with +15.1% potential return

Last price : RM2.05

Target price : RM2.27, RM2.36

Support : RM1.91

Stop-loss : RM1.89

BUY with a target price of RM2.36 and

stop-loss at RM1.89. Yesterday’s gain can

be considered a significant breakthrough as

the breakout has placed the share price in

new territory. Backed by a surging trading

volume and positive momentum, there

should be an upward follow-through from

here onwards. Furthermore, an uptick in

RSI and bullish crossover in DMI and

MACD imply a stronger upward move

ahead. We peg our targets at RM2.27 and

RM2.36 in the near term.

Expected time frame: 2 weeks to 2

DRB-Hicom: DRB-Hicom says The Verge’s current buyer

will assume outstanding loan. DRB-Hicom Bhd has denied it is selling its

Singapore property, The Verge, to Columba Holdings Pte Ltd at 40% below the price of an

earlier aborted deal, saying that the indicative price of the cancelled transaction had not

been adjusted to factor in an outstanding loan facility. In a statement on Monday, the

conglomerate said the indicative price of S$317m (RM961.7m) under the aborted sale to

Evolutyon Real Estate Investment Holding Pte Ltd was prior to the “agreed adjustments”

which substantially comprised the redemption of Corwin Holding Pte Ltd’s outstanding loan

facility totalling S$85.52m (RM259.5m). However, under the current transaction announced

on 22 Sept, the said loan facility would remain in Corwin, which is the owner of the 6-storey

shopping mall with an adjacent 8-storey commercial building collectivel known as The

Verge. “In this regard, the appropriate comparison should be drawn from net sale proceeds

(which appear in Section 8: utilisation of proceeds from proposed disposal in our respective

Bursa announcements dated 21 Dec 15 and 22 Sept 16), which is S$210.08m

(RM637.3m) against S$189.75m (RM575.3m), a lower difference of 9.67%,” said DRB-

Hicom group managing director Datuk Seri Syed Faisal Albar. (Source: The Star)

KNM Group: Issue RM330m Thai bonds. KNM Group Bhd has

proposed to issue bonds in Thailand to raise up to US$80m (RM330.2m) equivalent in baht

to finance its bio-ethanol business in that country. In its filing with Bursa Malaysia, the

process equipment manufacturer and energy group said the proposed Thai bonds had

been assigned a credit rating of AAA/Stable by TRIS Rating Co Ltd by virtue of the debt

papers being guaranteed by Asian Development Bank’s trust fund Credit Guarantee and

Investment Facility. “Proceeds from the proposed Thai bonds will be utilised by KNM to

provide a foreign currency lending to IEL (Impress Ethanol Co Ltd), which will in turn use

the proposed Thai bond proceeds for the purposes of financing future expansion and

working capital expenses for its bio-ethanol plants,” the group said. KNM has an indirect

stake of 72% in IEL, which is currently constructing its phase one bio-ethanol plant, with a

daily production capacity of 200,000 litres of ethanol. Construction of Phase 2 of the bio-

ethanol plant for an additional 200,000 litres of ethanol per day is expected to begin by the

first half of 2017. According to KNM, the proposed Thai bonds are expected to be fully

Syukur (M) Sdn Bhd, said Voir in its bourse filing yesterday. It said the job is expected to

contribute positively towards its earnings and net tangible assets during the subcontract's

period. Fashion retailer Voir had, in March, received an unconditional takeover offer from

Vista Lestari Development Sdn Bhd, a company controlled by Datuk Zarul Ahmad Mohd

Zulkifli that is involved in construction and property development. Zarul now controls some

50.71% of Voir via his interest in Vista Lestari. Voir shares were not traded yesterday. It

last settled at 66 sen on 21 Sept, valuing it at RM87.12m. (Source: The Edge)

Banking: BNM governor: Take long-term view on

adjustment of ringgit. Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) governor Datuk

Muhammad Ibrahim has asserted that the adjustment of the local currency should be

viewed from a long-term perspective and not short-term. He said in the short term, the

exchange rate movement could be a reaction to news headlines and market sentiments,

instead of reflecting the underlying strength of the economy. “What is important, therefore,

is to ensure the availability of ample reserves, maintaining strong economic fundamentals

and managing our exposure to external debt,” he said at the Malaysian Institute of

Economic Research’s 30th anniversary dinner on Monday. Muhammad said global

concerns over monetary policy normalisation by the Federal Reserve continued to impact

the ringgit. He said the ringgit’s volatility since Sep 2014 had exceeded levels in previous

episodes of sharp adjustment such as the European Sovereign Debt Crisis and Taper

Tantrum. “The weak ringgit was further amplified by the misperception about Malaysia’s

reliance on commodities and our position as a net oil exporter,” he said. Meanwhile,

Muhammad said Malaysia needed to reawaken growth, reignite productivity and restore

inclusiveness to secure continued and sustainable progress, as well as navigate current

global landscape. (Source: The Star)

Budget: Khazanah MD: Budget 2017 to continue pro-

growth, pro-society focus. Khazanah Nasional Bhd sees a continuation of a

pro-growth and pro-society focus in the upcoming Budget 2017. Managing Director Tan

Sri Azman Mokhtar said the budget would also like to be fiscally responsible on the back of

a challenging global economic environment. He added that the country needs to keep the

growth engine going to support its development. “The global conditions are quite

challenging, but I think Malaysia has much strength, with geography being one. “I think we

can build on that and we look forward to playing our part,” he told reporters on the sidelines

of the first day of the Khazanah Megatrends Forum 2016 here

yesterday. Meanwhile, CIMB Group Holdings chairman Datuk Seri Nazir Razak said the

government must show fiscal prudence in the upcoming budget announcement to show

that despite the difficult external conditions, it can achieve a lower fiscal deficit. The

government targets to reduce the fiscal deficit to 3.1% in 2016 and further improve it next

year. (Source: The Star)

FROM THE REGIONAL MORNING NOTES...

2017 Budget Preview: Still Inspired by Infra Spending We expect a market-neutral and flattish ‘election’ Budget 2017 to be tabled on 21 Oct 16,

placing emphasis on: high infrastructure spending, selective relaxation for property

purchases, promoting growth areas (eg value-added exports, transportation and logistics),

and relief for the middle income (tax relief) and low income (higher BR1M handouts)

earners. Meanwhile, the FMBKLCI may be swayed by macro events (eg US rate hike);

hence, we maintain our view for a firmer YE.

Scientex: 4QFY16: Looking Forward To The Next Record Year (SCI MK/BUY/RM6.30/Target: RM7.40) Scientex’s 4QFY16 results were within expectations. Excluding one-off items (notably

RM8m start-up costs for new plants), its manufacturing and property segments’ core EBIT

rose 6.5% yoy and 18.7% yoy respectively. Core net profit rose by a bigger 41.8% yoy due

to a lower effective tax rate of 22% (4QFY15: 35%). The new BOPP plant is undergoing

trial production and will take one to two years to fill up the capacity. Maintain BUY and

target price of RM7.40, implying 10.4x 2017F PE.
