The big surprise came from the higher-than-expected mom improvement in production signalling the beginning of the high production season. We project palm oil stocks to rise in August as the improvement in production more than offsets the exports and domestic consumption. We keep our Neutral sector call. First Resources, Wilmar and IOI Corp remain our top picks. Palm oil stocks in Malaysia increased for the first time since Dec 2012. Malaysia's stocks at end-July were up 1% mom at 1.66m tonnes, which is 3% below our forecast but 3% above consensus. The stocks were below our expectation as the better-than-expected exports offset stronger production.
What Happened
Wilmar International
We favour the group's strong agribusiness model and believe that its share price has bottomed-out after its disappointing FY12 earnings. We expect higher palm and laurics segment earnings and crushing margins to drive FY13 earnings recovery and cause the stocks re-rating.
first 10 days of August and the surprise 5% cut in US soybean crop forecasts by the USDA. But this rally may not sustain due to the rising concern that stocks will increase again during the peak production season. The strong 18% mom increase in production, which represents the highest increase since Sept 2012, also indicates that the palm trees are entering the high production season. On the demand front, CPO may start to face stiffer competition from soybean oil because of the narrowing price discount to soybean oil. We project that end-Aug stocks will rise 4% mom to 1.73m tonnes and expect CPO prices to trade in the range of RM2,200-2,400 per tonne in the near term.
IOI Corporation
We favour IOI Corp as we believe that the market has not fully priced-in the value of its property division, which will be demerged and listed in 4Q13. The property division is expected to deliver up to 66% earnings growth in the next two years.
What We Think
We are neutral on the end-July palm oil stocks figure and project that the CPO price will stay range-bound. The CPO price traded higher (+2%) yesterday, buoyed by the strong 26% mom rise in palm oil exports in the
For exposure to the sector, our preferred stocks are First Resources (owns one of the youngest and most profitable estates), Wilmar (a prime beneficiary of higher palm oil supplies and stocks) and IOI Corp (upside from the listing of its property arm).

Group revenue increased by 17%, while EBITDA grew 19%. We see scope for further margin expansion in FY14F given costs of a one-off nature booked in 1H13 and also through the inherent operating leverage in the business. Dealer revenue grew 17%, benefiting from a 7% increase in enquiries and the lead fee increase pushed through in February. We expect this to also drive growth in FY14F. Private grew 7% supported by listing growth, premium penetration

Strength in net interest margin was the big surprise. We expect margins to fall in FY14 on lower hedging gains, less support from basis risk and fading mortgage repricing benefits. The group highlighted a ~2.5% step-up in operating costs in FY14, from software amortisation, regulatory spend and pension accounting changes. We expect the 2H13 bad debt charge (17bp of loans) will mark the trough for CBA this cycle, and the bank remains cautious on the economic backdrop.
All of the banks should benefit from the mortgage repricing, easing funding pressures and hedge gains that boosted CBAs result. CBA was the first of the big four to concede that a D-SIB capital surcharge is likely to be launched, which we think will eventually lift target capital ratios above 9.00% and cut sector ROEs by 2%.
Despite beating consensus forecasts, we think that the three big drivers of CBA's 2H13 earnings beat higher margins, strong markets revenue and a benign credit quality outlook - are sector-wide trends. Therefore, we remain cautious on CBA in light of its 19% PE premium to peers (IBES cons). CBAs current P/NTA multiple of 3.6x far outstrips the 2.7x we think is justified by its 24% ROTE.

Key takeaways
Michael LEONARD
CPU's FY13 management EPS of US54.85cps was up 11.7% on the pcp but slightly below our expectations. The EBITDA margin of 25.2% was flat on the prior year, but the implied 2H13 margin of 25.9% was up on the 24.4% in 1H13. Below-the-line items were again a significant feature of the result, with CPU booking US$44m of losses on disposal of businesses. FY14 guidance for around 5% EPS growth was below Bloomberg consensus expectations for c10% growth, with margin income declines and a higher USD the main impacts.
Our key takeaways were: 1) Guidance was the key disappointment. Given Shareowner Services synergies will provide 10% EPS growth into FY14, the 5% growth guidance figure suggests further underlying earnings deterioration; 2) Intensifying registry competition, in particular in the US and Canada. Other areas of weakness being the transactional environment (particularly in HK), US bankruptcy administration and Canadian operations; 3) Business disposals US$44m booked below the line this half, with potential for further asset sales in our view; and 5) Broader positives SLS doubling its revenue and CPUs balance sheet strengthening with net debt/EBITDA falling to 2.47x.
CPU continues to face a difficult operating environment, with underlying earnings still under pressure. With no clear change likely in the macro environment we see the stock as fully valued on 15.5x FY14 PE.

We retain our Outperform rating and our SOTP DCF target price increases to A$0.82 (from A$0.80), reflecting a lower risk-free rate offset by a 3% downgrade to our FY14 EBIT forecast. GFF did not provide guidance for FY14, but confirmed that 1H14F EBIT will be in line with 2H13, suggesting EBIT growth will be weighted toward 2H14. While in isolation this would be a concern, we expect the bulk of FY14 EBIT uplift is largely de-risked given an increase in PL bread pricing (A$10m) and continued cost savings from Project renaissance (A$20m). Management highlighted a significant lift in DME will take place in 1H14, expected to drive revenue growth in both Fresh Baking and Grocery from 2H14. In Fresh Baking, Helgas and Wonder White TV advertising (TVC) (first in 3 years) and Freyas brand re-launch in the NZ market will make up the bulk of this spend. We expect a smaller DME uplift in Grocery via NPD & packaging improvements.
Fresh Baking should see solid FY14 EBIT growth aided by the recently renegotiated PL contract and the lion's share of A$37m Project Renaissance savings forecast this year. A substantial investment in TVC advertising in this category should generate a recovery of recent volume losses, but not until 2H14. A continuation of irrational price competition is the largest threat.
A pricing solution is yet to be found for higher emerging input costs in Dairy. Intense retail competition in NZ has seen resistance from retailers, which may persist longer than expected. Volume contraction in the Grocery category remained steady at 10% over FY13, largely reflecting the success of PL in dressings. It appears the bulk of DME going forward is directed to Fresh Baking, suggesting Grocery volumes may remain under pressure.

Apart from the collections issue, the environment remains very difficult. We do not believe reduced resources or government-related spending will reverse to any great extent in the next 12 months. Although LEI has only 20% work to be won for FY14 flat revenue, we believe this figure has some risk. This is not the time in the cycle to own contractors. We believe this down-cycle could last for several years, and it is only nine months old.
We retain our Underperform recommendation given our concerns around the groups ability to fully collect revenues that have already been recognised. Even in the event we are wrong on this issue, LEI is trading on 10x one-year-forward PE, compared to DOW on 8x, where DOW has a better investment metrics across every measure, in our view.

Despite our understanding of cash flows around the Prominent Hill open cut, capital expenditure over the next few years will be dependent on the successful outcomes of both the Carrapateena pre-feasibility study, due in early 2014, and whether the Malu underground resource, due in late 2013, is a viable mining option.
Notwithstanding the uncertainty around investment expenditure over the next two years and its potential to limit free cash flows, we believe Oz Minerals has appealing flexibility to either develop brown and/or greenfield projects in Malu and Carrapateena, respectively, make acquisitions or return more to shareholders over the medium term. A strategic sell-down in Carrapateena in 2014 could be the catalyst Oz Minerals needs.

Strength continues
We view the FY13 result as solid, with a strong operational performance and margin uplift across the main divisions, improving cash flow and a strengthening balance sheet. We believe the momentum will continue and we see upside potential to FY14 EBITDA guidance of A$395-410m.
We modestly lower our FY14-16F NPAT estimates up to 1.6% to account mainly for higher D&A, with our DCF/PE/SOP-based target price decreasing to A$5.71. We maintain our Outperform recommendation. We remain encouraged by the continued EBITDA margin expansion across the main divisions including: Medical centres (80bps to 56%) on stable GP acquisition costs and strong growth in non-GP revenue growth; Pathology (80bp to 17.7%) on solid underlying growth (6.3%), despite a 1.3% funding cut with the MOU, efficiency gains and stabilised rents; and Imaging (400bp to 23.3%) on a 5% increase in billing and continued adoption of a fee-for-service billing model (50-60% radiologists transitioned). We believe momentum is sustainable, with shares supported by a forward EV/EBITDA of 8.8x (versus 8.4x long-term average) and a PER of 1.05x (a 5% discount to SHL), with a three-year EPS CAGR of 9.5% and improving FCF/dividend yields.

A quality result
We believe FY13 earnings showed a strong operational performance, with net profit increasing 28.7% to A$150.1m, EBITDA of A$385.1m (+9.7% yoy), with margins expanding 120bp to 26.4%, and revenues of A$1,456m (+4.6% yoy). Cash conversion remains strong (101%), with operating cash flow increasing 18% yoy to A$269m, FCF at an all-time high (A$194.5m, +30% yoy), which helped to support an 83% increase in the fully franked dividend (11cps; 60% 2H payout ratio), and the balance sheet continues to strengthen (ND/ND+E of 27.9% (-130bps yoy). We believe FY14 EBITDA guidance of A$395-410m and EPS growth of 7-13% may prove conservative.
We remain buyers

Therefore, we upgrade our rating to Outperform. Our thesis is supported by: 1) a slight beat in the FY13 result (versus six downgrades in 18 months), 2) improving 4Q13 trends for two of SAI's three divisions, 3) weak FY14 results for Compliance now well-known, and 4) the expected impairment now complete. We lift normalised FY14F EPS by 4% and our blended (PE/DCF) target price t0 A$4.62ps. The key feature of the result was the improving trends evident in the 2H13. Property Services was a standout with FY13 EBITDA up 21% (1H13 -14%). However, the Standards business also showed solid improvement with FY13 EBITDA up 5% (flat in 1H13). Assurance showed the usual 2H seasonal margin improvement (+2%), although we were more encouraged by 4Q sales trends returning to growth. Compliance was weak, but importantly not weaker than our expectations. Furthermore, the
business has now shown stable customer renewal rates for six months.
We forecast 10% EBITDA growth in FY14, from A$104m to A$114m. The biggest driver is Property Services (full year from contracts ramp-up) followed by FX gains, but also including modest growth in Assurance and Standards following improving trends. However, we also allow for weaker results in Compliance (EBITDA -9%).
Valuation undemanding
Despite the recent rally, SAI is only trading on a 7% PE premium to the Small Industrials, well below its average of 20% and peak of 30%. Relative to offshore comps, SAIs 9x EBITDA multiple represents a 27% discount compared with a 18% discount a year ago, highlighting increasing appeal versus global Publishing and Certification peers.

A believable 2H story
While the interim result was behind expectations, the drivers of the miss have been well articulated and, more importantly, rectified. While SGN requires a strong 2H to achieve guidance, the implied 2H result is consistent with historical seasonality and is underpinned by contract wins and acquisitions.
We have made marginal (-1-2%) changes to our EPS forecasts, with our yield-based target price falling 1c to A$1.62. While acknowledging the stock has performed well (up 35% ytd), it still offers a 5.9% (fully-franked) yield in CY13, which compares favourably to the CIMB Small Industrials average of 4.2%. We maintain our Outperform rating. Operating NPAT of A$19.3m was 6% below our expectations. The modest miss was driven by: 1) issues at three separate businesses (which have now been resolved), 2) the delay in finalising a minor acquisition in the Research space, and 3) the carrying of upfront costs to support the significant tendering activity in the 2Q. In addition, while cash flow of A$7m was weaker than our estimate of A$23m, this was impacted by a number of customer-specific working capital issues that should unwind in the 2H. Given the miss at the NPAT level, the interim dividend of 3.3cps was behind our estimate but consistent with a 70% payout ratio.

Required 2H is achievable
Brewin KWONG
Management maintained guidance for 15% NPAT growth. This implies a 38/62 split at the NPAT level (broadly similar to SGNs long-term average of a 40/60 skew). We see scope for a stronger-than-normal 2H through: 1) benefits from new contract wins late in 1H, 2) finalisation of the Research acquisition, and 3) tailwinds from the federal election (which management has not factored in).
Given our view that a stronger 2H will be achieved (consistent with previous years), SGN offers a reliable 5.9% fully franked yield in CY13. We maintain our Outperform rating, also noting managements track record in leveraging a flexible cost base should conditions not materialise as expected.

With a key risk to ongoing cash flow now behind it and a robust growth outlook, SYD has increased its appeal, in our view. With the stock trading on a best-in-sector 6.3% FY13F yield, we upgrade SYD to Outperform. Our DCF-based target price increases to A$3.83 (from A$3.49) reflecting minor changes to our earnings forecasts.
What We Think
What Happened
SYD announced a number of initiatives today, each of which was positive for the overall story. These included: 1) moving to 100% ownership of Sydney Airport by issuing equity and acquiring minority interests; 2) settling the ATO tax issue at a total cost of A$69m, which was less than the potential liability under the original position paper (which only included 28% of Group RPS); and 3) simplification of the corporate structure enabling the foreign ownership cap to be lifted from 40% to 49%. SYD also confirmed FY13 distribution guidance of 22.5cps with the 1H13 distribution to be covered by net operating receipts.
We believe that simplification of the structure and removal of the tax issue is net positive for the stock. Structural simplification improves transparency and allows SYD to raise the current foreign ownership cap from 40% to 49% (and potentially free up the current register and get new investors on board). Resolution of the tax issue could also increase offshore interest with SYD likely to continue paying unfranked distributions over the medium term and foreign ownership is at historic lows. Foreign ownership has dipped from 36.7% in December 2012 to 29.6% last reported (May 2013), the lowest level since pre-2005 on our records. We upgrade our rating to Outperform. While SYD is trading in line with recent average 16x FY13F EV/EBITDA, it is still offering a best-in-sector 6.3% FY13F yield, with a three-year DPS CAGR of 6.3% in a declining interest rate environment and a 12-month TSR of 13%.

WORs FY13 result was in line with its recently downgraded guidance, but importantly was clean and demonstrated good operating cash flow. We believe the hydrocarbon cycle has several years to run but in our view WOR currently does not offer an attractive entry price for its likely earnings profile over the next 12 months.
Our FY14 NPAT forecast of A$351.8m represents 9% growth. Although on paper WOR should have little trouble achieving this figure given the benefit of two acquisitions, a falling AUD and lower restructuring costs, we still see the environment as somewhat difficult. Our A$23.17 target price reflects our view of WOR as a stronger operator within its sector and a belief the hydrocarbon cycle has at least several years to run. However, our Neutral rating is a function of this already being priced in and our view that any upside earnings surprise in the next 12 months is highly unlikely. Once again the Hydrocarbon result was the cornerstone of the company performance. Although we are of the view that resources-related capex has turned with the commodity cycle downturn, we view the global hydrocarbon cycle as still having a multi-year upswing and expect WOR to benefit from this growth in demand over the next several years. We still see difficult operating conditions for areas related to resources. We believe this will continue to hold WOR back from providing upside earnings surprise in the next 12-24 months. We noted under our previous coverage that we expected WOR to improve its margin, but highlighted FY08 margins were unrealistic for the foreseeable future. This is because FY08 margins represented a culmination of events that are very unlikely to be replicated for some time, and while they technically peak margins, in our view they should instead be considered abnormal.
Margin improvement
Needs to be cheaper
We would be positive on WOR below A$20 or when non-hydrocarbon demand looks more positive or has at least stabilised on a sustained basis.

Rather than use a historical estimate of the 10-year bond yield, we will use our estimate of the neutral cash rate to discount company earnings. The real neutral cash rate is difficult to measure and estimate, but we think it is the best interest rate to use. At any point in time, the real neutral rate represents the general equilibrium level of the risk-free rate. We estimate that the real neutral cash rate is between 1.5% and 2.0%, or 4.0% and 4.5% in nominal terms. We identify a clear fall in the real neutral cash rate since the financial crisis and we dont expect it to reverse over the medium term.
My sense is that the appropriate interest rate for the economys circumstances is in fact the pretty low one we have, not because we face an emergency like we did back then but because we face some other forces of a more slowly evolving nature that combine to mean that the correct rate really is lower than it was a couple of years ago. So I am not uncomfortable with this setting of rates.
Glenn Stevens, RBA Governor
The fall in the real neutral cash rate since the financial crisis has not only important implications for stock price valuations, but it also has important implications for monetary policy. As result of the fall in the real neutral rate, we have lowered our forecast for the cash rate at end-2014 from 3.0% to 2.75% and we have lowered our forecast for end-2015 from 3.75% to 3.25%. Our forecast for end-2013 is unchanged 2.25%, but the risk is that it falls beyond this level in the current cycle. The real cash rate is currently around 0.2% and this suggests that policy is working hard to support growth. Our economic growth forecasts are unchanged and we expect growth to average 2.5% in 2013 and 2.9% in 2014. In 2015 we currently expect growth to average 3.5%.
We use a methodology outlined in a paper by the Norges Bank to estimate the real neutral rate. In the first instance we calculate a trend estimate of the real cash rate. We estimate that it has fallen from around 2.5% prior to the financial crisis to around 1.2%. We use a Taylor rule in another estimate and it suggests the real neutral rate is now around 2.5%, but also lower than it was prior to the financial crisis (3.3%). Our other estimate is made using a Kalman Filter and it suggests the real neutral rate is around 1.7% and down from 4% just prior to the financial crisis.
In this report, we identify a list of factors that have probably lowered the real neutral rate in recent years. Furthermore, we think these factors are likely to continue putting downward pressure on the real neutral rate. The decline in the terms of trade, population ageing and a weaker credit multiplier are likely to keep the real neutral rate under downward pressure. The prospect of a productivity improvement in the years ahead, in part due to rising resources exports, should offset these factors and put some upward pressure on the real neutral rate. The AUD depreciation that is underway will increase the return on goods and services sold overseas from Australias capital stock and also add to the upward pressure on the real neutral rate.

Momentum in 2H13
We expect Asia Cement (ACC) to deliver strong earnings growth in China in 2H13 on aggressive capacity expansion, after a solid improvement in 2Q13. Non-cement businesses may post positive surprises, like the utility profit in 2Q13.
ACCs 2Q13 EPS of NT$0.83 is better than Bloomberg consensus NT$0.65, though just slightly better than our NT$0.8 forecast. 1H13 EPS of NT$1.23 formed 53% of our original FY13 estimate. We cut FY13 earnings by 1% as we were too aggressive on its China profit, but raised FY14-15 earnings by 2-3% given the long-term outlook remains positive. We maintain Outperform and SOP-based target price NT$42. Catalysts include the capacity ramp-up and seasonal demand pick-up in China.
business and non-core investment income. We believe its 2H13 China profit will surge 84% hoh as it ramps up two new production lines in Jiangxi to boost its capacity by nearly 30%, and 2014 China profit should grow another 36%. We forecast its China gross profit per tonne to improve from Rmb46 in 1H13 to Rmb58 in 2H13. We also see upside potential to its utility profit, as we now still conservatively forecast its operating profit to drop by 35% yoy as TaiPower may ask it to cut ASP to reflect lower coal cost. We think ACC provides good growth, dividend and valuation. Its aggressive capacity expansion in China will be a unique story in 2H13. Our target price translates to 18x FY13 and 15x FY14 P/Es.
What We Think
What Happened
ACC reported net profit of NT$2,500m, up 106% qoq and 35% yoy. The growth is largely driven by the cement business, whose operating profit grew 401% qoq and 191% yoy. However, that number still came in 26% short of our forecast, as its China gross margin of 23.7% in 2Q13 was below our estimate of 27%. Luckily the gap was largely filled by the stronger profit from its utility

Outperformer
Fubon FHC has outperformed the TAIEX for more than 12 months, and it now trades at 1.2-1.3x FY13 P/BV (12-month range: 0.9-1.3x). The company remains among our top picks given its solid core banking operations and aggressive/effective expansion in China.

Fubon FHCs 1H13 net profit was largely in line at 49% of our original FY13 forecast. We raise our FY13-14 earnings by 1-2% to factor in higher investment returns and assumptions for the life insurance arm. We maintain an Outperform with a lower SOP-based target price of NT$48.6 (1.5x FY13 P/BV). The China theme remains a key share price catalyst. In 1H13, Fubon FHC posted a 65% yoy earnings expansion, contributed by Taipei Fubon Bank (48%) and Fubon Life (51%). The banking arm saw its PPOP grow 24% yoy driven by net interest income (+3% yoy), share disposal gains (NT$984m), TMU income, and virtually zero credit costs, while the stop-selling effect dragged down bancassurance sales and total fees. The life insurers net profit grew by 582% yoy in 1H13 driven by investment income (+38% yoy) and lower overheads (-20% yoy). The annualised investment return closed at 4.2% (FY12: 4.0%) due to portfolio adjustments, while hedging costs inched up (76bp in 2Q13; 50bp in 1Q13) due to strong US$. Guidance is for investment returns to rise further

the rest of the year given the sizable dividend income to be recognised. FYP dropped 44% yoy in 1H13 while it picked up in 2Q13 (+54% qoq), but we remain reserved about its new business margin expansion. We believe the banking arm will remain a key earnings driver, given sustained PPOP and contained credit costs. We expect the acquisition of First Sino Bank (FSB, scheduled to be completed in 3Q13) to enhance Fubon FHC's China presence, and FSB to immediately add 5% to the groups bottomline. We project Fubon FHCs net profit to grow by 6-28% yoy for FY13-15, assuming 1) total loans grow 8-9%; 2) NIMs range at 1.09-1.11%; and 3) net fees rise by 5-12% while credit costs trend down to 8bp from 29bp. We foresee the value of new business growing 13% and the embedded value 6% in FY13. We see further share upside for Fubon FHC given its diversified business model and the superior cross-selling as a result, both of which facilitate an earnings expansion.

1H13 core net profit are below expectations, at 31% of our full year forecast. We cut our FY13-15 earnings forecasts by 12-28% to factor in lower operating margin assumption and adjusted our tax rate. We lowered our DCF-based target price to NT$200, which implies 25x CY14 P/E.
impact on operating margin. Our check with management suggests the China business started to see progress from the restructuring with Jul SSSG turning positive at 0.5%. It said store expansion will pick up in 2H13, by net adding 30-40 stores. This will raise utilisation of central kitchens to 40-50% (now at 20-30%). With more stores turning profitable, tax rates are also expected to normalise to 25-30%. The US operation will see its central kitchen completed by end-Sep. Based on the latest store opened in Chino Hills, California, monthly sales reached US$550k-600k. with operating margin at 15%. We expect a faster margin recovery after 4Q13 when US expansion kicks off. We have previously highlighted that FY13 is a restructuring year for the company, and that investors should position for better growth prospects in FY14 (47% profit growth), especially after the disappointing 2Q13 results. We see near-term share price weakness as a good entry point.
What We Think
What Happened
Gourmet Master reported the worst quarter since its IPO, with 2Q13 net profit at NT$140m (EPS NT$0.99), down 41% yoy and 24% qoq, 46% below our forecast and 36% below Bloombergs. Though we expected the 2Q13 results to be disappointing, the degree of decline was larger than anticipated due to the higher tax rate at 33.7% vs. 24.6% in 2Q12. From a seasonality perspective, the 21.9% qoq decline in operating profit is actually better than the historical trend. However, its operating margin remained anaemic at 6.4%, due to expenses booked from the completion of its central kitchen, higher labour cost ratio, and store closures. The low utilisation of its newly opened central kitchens during the restructuring period (China only net increased by 12 stores in 1H13) also had a negative

1H13 core earnings are largely in line, at 47% of our full-year forecast. We retain our earnings forecasts for FY13-14 but shave FY15 by 1.5% to factor in interest expense on the loan for its new HQ. Our target price stays at NT$155, pegged to 20x CY14 P/E, in line with its consumer peers.
What Happened
Grape King posted a 45% yoy and 16% qoq rise in 2Q13 net profit to NT$201m (EPS NT$1.54). Despite being a record for the company and beating Bloomberg consensus forecasts by 8%, it was 7% below our forecast. The deviation stemmed mainly from a higher opex ratio in 2Q13, which rose 0.8% pts qoq. We believe that it may relate to higher travel bonus expenses booked during the period as Grape Kings multi-level marketing company, Pro-Partner rewarded some of its high-ranking distributors with a trip to Europe. Meanwhile, gross margin continued to widen by 0.6% pts qoq to 88.1%, thanks to higher sales contribution from Pro-Partner (89.9% of total sales vs. 89% in 1Q13).
Given that May-July is typically the period when distributors make a push for their rank advancement, 3Q sales growth may come in slightly softer. We now expect 3Q13 sales to rise 23% yoy but fall 6% qoq. However, the sales momentum will pick up again in 4Q13 as the next round of rank advancement will be in Oct-Dec. We also believe that the launch of new products in 2H13 will help to drive the sales pace. We expect to see further margin improvement as the 10% ASP hike in July should leave more profit margin for the company. We also expect the upcoming annual convention to help boost distributors momentum.

We maintain our positive view on the stock as we believe that Pro-Partner is set to deliver years of strong earnings on the back of high demand for its products and its healthy network growth. The share price has risen by 15% since our initiation in July. We would view any near-term correction in response to softer monthly sales as a good entry point into the companys long-term growth story.

What We Think
What Happened
Quanta's 2Q13 results were generally in-line. Its net profit of NT$4.0bn is 2% and 1% below our and consensus forecasts, respectively. Its operating margin came in at 1.45% (up from 1.30% in 1Q13), slightly better than our forecast of 1.35% but below consensus expectation of 1.50%. Quanta's 2Q13 sales dropped 1.8% qoq and 18.3% yoy, which suggests a tough NB environment. Meanwhile, margin improvements mainly came from efficiency gains (NB production being moved to the Chongqing area), according to management.
Quanta has guided for a conservative 2H13 outlook and tweaked its sales proportion expectation for 1H13:2H13 from 40:60 previously to 45:55. We cut our 2013 NB shipment forecast from 47.2m units previously to 43.5m units (-19% yoy). Quanta is expected to see 8.7% and 9.8% qoq NB unit shipment growth in 3Q13 and 4Q13, respectively. Its cloud business accounts for 15% of total sales with stable growth. Our previous forecast that Quanta will ship 20m tablets in 2013 (+26% yoy) is intact.
Quanta trades at 12.4x FY14 P/E, in line with its historical average. We think that this is undemanding but there are limited catalysts in the near term. We advise that investors revisit Quanta around end-3Q13, prior to the shopping season. There may be some tablet volume upside surprises. Inventec is our preferred stock in ODMs space.

Synnexs 1H13 net profit was slightly better than our expectation, at 44% of our full-year forecast. We raise our FY14-15 EPS forecasts by 1-3% due to the better-than-expected gross margin performance. Thus, we also raise our target price to NT$34, still based on 9x CY14 P/E (its historical trough). We maintain Underperform due to the de-rating catalysts of weaker handset and PC sales, and the gloomy China outlook.
What Happened
Synnex posted 2Q13 net profit of NT$1.5bn, which is 19% above our forecast and 21% higher than consensus, thanks to the better than expected margin and unexpected forex gain of NT$400m. Gross margin increased from 3.2% in 1Q13 to 3.7% in 2Q13 due to the greater economies of scale and the absence of the one-off loss in 1Q13.
One will be the main drivers. Its handset business suffered from Nokias shrinking market share and Taiwan Mobiles insourcing. We have yet to see any demand pick-up or new clients in this space. PCs accounted for 60% of sales in 1H13. We expect that PC sales momentum will be muted in 2H13 due to the deteriorating sales outlook. Tablet revenue accounted for only 10-15% of total revenue in 2Q13/1H13 and is not expected to offset the decline in PC sales in 2H13. We believe that high-end (iPads) and low-end tablets (white brands) will be the key drivers for tablet sales in FY13. Unfortunately, Synnex has limited exposure to both segments. It also has low exposure to the growing smartphone brands (Apple, Samsung and Lenovo). This leads us to believe that it will take time for Synnexs earnings to recover. It will be difficult for server, tablet and game console sales to offset the negative impact of weak PC demand.
Synnex guides for qoq growth in 2H13 sales. We forecast sales growth of 7.7% in 3Q13 and 2.2% in 4Q13. Tablets, servers and the new Xbox

Taiwan Cement's (TCC) 2Q13 EPS of NT$0.7 is ahead of Bloomberg consensus's NT$0.6, though slightly behind our estimate of NT$0.72. Its 1H13 EPS of NT$1.08 was in line, forming 46% of our previous full-year forecast. As we have a positive outlook for the China cement sector and utility profits, we raise our FY13-15 EPS by 7-8%. We maintain our Outperform call with a higher SOP-based target price of NT$45.
What Happened
TCC reported a 2Q13 net profit NT$2,587m (up 83% qoq and 7% yoy). Although this is slightly below our estimate due to non-operating items, its operating profit actually came in 18% higher than our forecast, mainly due to the strong performance of its utility unit whose operating profit surged 161% qoq and 45% yoy, thanks to lower coal cost and new accounting rules under IFRS.
seasonal demand pick-up. Its 56%owned HK-listed subsidiary, TCC International (TCCI), expects its July shipment volume to increase 23% yoy to a historical high, with its inventory level in major markets staying below 60% (20% in Guizhou). While the market was concerned about the new capacity in Guangdong, TCCI only foresees three new clinker lines being completed in 2H13, suggesting that the supply pressure may turn out to be weaker than expected. We forecast that TCCs 2H13 China profit will rise 50% hoh, with its gross profit per tonne rising from Rmb47 in 1H13 to Rmb60.
We expect its earnings in 3Q13/4Q13 to stay above that of 2Q13. TCC's utility profits should get a boost from a hot summer, while its China cement profits should improve further on a
Price Close 41 39 Relative to TAIEX (RHS) 115 113 110 108 105 103 100 98 95 93 90
What We Think
We still think that TCC offers a good mix of robust growth (18% FY13-15 EPS CAGR), solid dividend yields (5%-7% in FY13-15), and attractive valuation (12.9x FY14 P/E). There may be more upside if the cement industry consolidation accelerates in Southwest China, and TaiPower achieves headway in its restructuring efforts such as pushing for power tariff hikes in Taiwan. Our target price of NT$45 implies P/Es of 18x FY13 and 15x FY14.

Taifers 2Q13 EPS NT$0.02 is far below Bloombergs estimate of NT$0.55 and our NT$0.61. 1H13 EPS formed 58% of our previous FY13 forecast due to project completion in 1Q13. We cut FY13 EPS by 18% due to the disappointing 2Q13. We downgrade it to Underperform with a new target price of NT$65, at a 40% discount to its NAV, 1 s.d. below its ten-year average (from 0.5 s.d.). Negative catalysts include delaying land development and negative return from new investments.
What Happened
Taiwan Fertilizer reported a 2Q13 net profit of NT$24m, vs. NT$2,257m in 1Q13 and NT$638m in 2Q12, which we think the market did not anticipate. Management attributed that to the longer-than-expected debottlenecking of its urea plant (part of its JV with SABIC in Saudi Arabia). We do not believe Taifer made it clear that the process would take so long (almost the entire quarter in our view). The only bright spot is that capacity should increase by over 10%, meaning future upside.
This is not the first time Taifer has miscommunicated with investors on the Saudi Arabian JV (shipment delay, donation to Saudi Arabian government, etc.). We feel its control over the JV has not improved over the years. Also, although Taifer aims to find a leasehold tenant for its C3 landblock, proceeds from its land development/disposal have not been effectively used, in our view. The company has invested in its new fertilizer plant in Taichung (whose profitability may be lower than old plants given the depreciation), and the deep-ocean-water products and park (still loss-making).
What We Think
We do not think asset value will mean much to shareholders if the company cannot improve ROE after unlocking asset value. We believe Taifer deserves a deeper discount to its NAV than its peers. Its foreign ownership still stands at nearly 30%, and we see downside there.

We continue to value the stock at 21.8x CY14 P/E, a 40% premium to our target market P/E of 15.6x, but still within the historical P/E range for oil & gas big caps. We maintain our Neutral call. Our top sector picks are SapuraKencana for big caps and Perisai for small caps.
but we understand that the bulk of the claims are still being negotiated and will be booked in 2H if management is successful. See overleaf for more briefing highlights. We are pleased that the Gumusut-Kakap FPS project, which was plagued by multiple delays and ballooning costs, was finally completed in May. MMHE is now putting its best foot forward in the execution of the Malikai TLP, the first such floating solution to be deployed in Malaysia. We expect the first profit from Malikai to materialise in 2H.
MMHE delivered the long-delayed Gumusut-Kakap floating production system (FPS), Telok B topside and OSX turret projects in 1H. However, 1H net profit fell 14% yoy due to change orders for selected projects, notably Tapis, Telok A and Kebabangan. Furthermore, the company has yet to book any profit contribution from the Malikai tension-leg platform (TLP) project, which was secured in Feb. The bright spot of the results was the recovery of some change orders in 2Q, which management revealed at a briefing today. The amount was not disclosed,
As at 30 Jun, MMHE had contracts worth RM1.8bn (Figure 1), boosted by the Malikai TLP contract that contributed an estimated 60% to the order book. Other sizable contracts were Kebabangan and Tapis.

The JV is line with managements intentions to broaden TCM's assembly footprint and produce 100,000 units a year group-wide. We believe the JV will have a marginal impact in the immediate term as TCM would have to prove itself on small

The 2Q13/1H result is in line with consensus and our expectations, meeting 27%/49% of our FY13 numbers. EPS forecasts stay unchanged though we have raised our target price (DCF, now 7.1% WACC from 7.3%) to S$2.18. The overseas business acts as catalyst, with the stock supported by a 3% dividend yield. Upgrade to Outperform from Neutral. 2Q13 revenue rose by 3% yoy on broad-based growth. Lower energy costs (-6% yoy) in 2Q13 and better operating performance in the UK bus segment are positive. The group has now hedged 80% of its diesel needs for 2013 at unit costs below those of last year. We see this trend persisting through this year. Overseas business accounted for 39% of the groups revenue and 47% of its operating profit. Group 1H13 PATMI is up 7% yoy to S$127m as a result.
The groups EBIT margin improved sequentially to 12.4% in 2Q13 (vs. 11.0% in 1Q13). Rail was the only segment whose EBIT margin declined by 3.1% pts qoq to 4.5% due to costs related to Downtown Line. Net cash inflow enhanced the balance sheet. We appreciate CDs positive cashflow generating abilities, and the current predictable capex trend. At only 2% net gearing ratio, there is room to gear up the balance sheet for opportunities.

We believe the earnings model in Singapore is sustainable, while overseas success will yield better profitability for the group. CD remained true to its committed 50% payout policy by declaring an interim dividend of 3Scts/share. Management said that there were good vibes coming from the Region 4 bus tender in Australia.

We are keeping our earnings forecasts for now as we expect 2H earnings to be stronger due to higher sugar contribution and production. However, we cut our SOP-based target price to S$0.81, as we apply a 15% discount against its SOP to reflect the earnings risk from its newly acquired sugar assets in Brazil. Maintain Underperform, with the key de-rating catalysts coming from earnings disappointments.

Challenging prospects
2Q13 core net profit plunged 75% yoy and 40% qoq, largely because of lower CPO prices (-18% yoy), weaker FFB production (-9% yoy) and higher production costs. The decline in nucleus FFB production was due to weaker production recorded by its estates in South Sumatra. Production costs were driven up by rising wages and new mature palm oil areas. Earnings from the edible oils and fats (EOF) division improved yoy in 2Q due to the higher refining margin. However, profit from EOF was

We expect 2H earnings to benefit from seasonally stronger palm production and higher sugar contribution from Indonesia. The group commenced the sugar harvest season in May and projects most of its sugar sales to be realised in 2HCY13. However, this may be partially offset by potential losses from its newly acquired sugar assets in Brazil due to current low international raw sugar and start-up costs. Also, the pick-up in 2H FFB production may not be sufficient to cover weak production in 1H. We maintain our earnings but cut our SOP-based target price by 21%. Though the stock has underperformed the market, it may stay weak until it is able to boost the profitability of its estates

Banking on a strong 2H
2Q13 net profit recovered from a net loss in 1Q. This was due to strong core revenue and positive contributions from its associate, NPRT. We expect 2H13 to compensate for the weak 1H13. Midas is on track to meet our full-year target given the current earnings momentum.
1H13 net profit formed 25% of our full-year estimate and 11% of consensus. We deem this in line as we expect FY13 revenues to be back-end loaded with the resumption of high speed rail (HSR) contracts in 2H. We maintain our Outperform call and target price, still based on 1.29x CY13 P/BV (20% discount to 2010-11 P/BV). The catalyst is the resumption of HSR contracts.

2Q13 revenue of Rmb284m (+40.3% qoq, +29.2% yoy) was strong on the back of steady contributions from the transport industry. However, gross profit margins fell to 22.5% (1Q: 25.2%) due to a change in product mix and lower capacity utilization. Its associate, NPRT saw a turnaround in 2Q after winning Rmb3.8bn metro contracts in 1H13, and contributed Rmb3.1m to Midas PBT. The group reported a net profit of Rmb14.9m in 2Q13 (vs. a net loss of Rmb4.9m in 1Q). Given the earnings momentum in 2Q13, Midas is on track to meet our
Last month, Chinas cabinet revised its railway investment budget to Rmb3.3tr for the remainder of its five-year plan that ends in 2015. This is Rmb500bn more than the figure announced in the previous plan. Since train car manufacturers typically take between 18-24 months for delivery, China Railway Corp. has to issue HSR orders by the end of 2013 to meet its 2015 investment target. Thus, we are fairly certain that Midas can expect to receive HSR orders in 2H13, which would bolster earnings in 2H after a weak 1H.
Maintain Outperform
Midas is currently trading at 0.95x CY13 P/BV, still below its historical mean of 1.46x. We believe the resumption of HSR contracts will be a major price catalyst.

1H13 core net profit came in 7% above. Our cost assumptions were too aggressive. Moderating our cost assumptions and factoring in the latest tuition fee guidance, core EPS rises 10-22% over FY13-15. With a WACC of 8.1% (previously 7.6%), our DCF-based target price rises to S$0.95. Outperform maintained. Catalysts will be an earnings step-up when the new campus is completed. The key variance in 2Q13 results stems from the lower-than-expected growth in operating expenses. Personnel costs (74% of 2Q, 75% of 1H) grew just 2.7% yoy in 2Q13 and 3.1% yoy for 1H13. Although we pare down our operating expenses, we leave room for earnings upside as our cuts are not too aggressive. Why not reduce costs estimates aggressively? Inflationary pressure remains and with personnel expenses taking the lions share of operating costs, it
2Q13 cash flow shows S$29.4m being paid for the acquisition of PPE. This payment is for the alienation premium for the new campus at Pasir Ris. The Letter of Offer states that the project completion period will expire on 26 July 2016 and any extension is subject to conditions. OEL should still have enough time to execute its plan for a new campus.
Earnings visibility for the next three years remains high. Single-digit fee hikes appear certain with earnings variation likely to be a function of cost management. More players have entered the IB market in Singapore. Prominent education provider GEMS Education is slated to have a similar-sized campus in Yishun by September next year.

1H13 EPS is in line, at 52% of our FY13 forecast and slightly below consensus at 47%. We keep our FY13-15 EPS and residual income-based target price unchanged. We maintain our Neutral rating as we think that the stocks near-term potential has been priced in. The main theme for PAN now is the latest CXP acquisition's earnings contribution. We will elaborate on this post-analyst briefing.
PANs 1H13 revenue was up 4% yoy to $357m, driven by the BBR division but partly offset by lower trading activities from the shipping division. In 1H13, the port division maintained healthy levels of revenue and cargo volume. There was a S$2.2m provision for doubtful debts related to one of the main contractors of the Downtown Line 2 project that filed for insolvency in 2Q13. Dividends of 1.5Scts/share were declared (28% payout ratio based on the 1H13 interim results).

PAN entered into a sales and purchase agreement with Macquarie International Infrastructure Fund Limited (MIIF) to acquire 18m shares in Singapore Changshu Development Company Pte Ltd (SCDC) for S$101m in cash. This will raise PAN's effective shareholding in Changshu Xinghua Port Co Ltd (CXP) from 51.3% to 85.5%. The rationale for the higher stake is to build up its port and logistics division, which is in line with its plans to increase revenue streams. Internal funding and debt will be used to fund this acquisition.
We are net neutral on whether PAN divests or adds to its existing CXP stake. The latest acquisition price seems to be on the high side at 20x historical P/E. We will provide more details post-analyst briefing. Other near-term catalysts appear priced in. and we maintain our Neutral rating for now.

Associates shone
Singapores core net profit was in line due to lower-than-expected opex even as revenue was flat qoq and yoy. SingTel no longer breaks out its opex by country.
SingTels associates were its primary growth drivers with Telkomsel and Globe delivering strong results. Bharti is turning around with its second quarter of sequential growth, up 19% qoq and yoy.
Optus disappointed
Optuss core net profit contributions disappointed on tepid revenue (caused by weak ARPUs) and A$ weakness. The A$ fell 3% qoq and 45 yoy against the S$. Despite its
SingTel now expects group revenue to decline by mid-single digits yoy from flat guidance earlier, and EBITA to fall by low single digits yoy from low-single-digit growth. Its guidance for capex and FCF is unchanged.

Currency headwinds
We turn a little more cautious on SingTel after its 1QFY3/14 results conference call, largely on the weakening regional currencies vs. the S$. This is despite strong growth at Bharti, Globe and Telkomsel. SingTel may step up its aggression to counter Starhubs cross carry rebate.
We cut our FY14-16 core EPS by 2-4% and SOP-based target price by 2% after imputing a higher tax in FY14 and revising our currency assumptions to reflect its new guidance. SingTel remains a Neutral as it lacks rerating catalysts. We prefer M1 and Telkom Indonesia in the regional telco space.
plans to list the business. Exchange rates are working against SingTel. The AUD, IDR and INR have fallen 12%, 4% and 11%, respectively, against the S$ since 1 Apr 13. Units from these countries contribute about 52% of SingTels PBT. Should the regional currencies weaken substantially from the forward rates of 31 Jul, this could warrant another revision to its guidance, in our view. We think SingTel will intensify its efforts to gain pay TV market share by bundling services more aggressively. This is to counter the S$30/mth rebate offered by Starhub for customers cross-carrying the Barclays Premier League broadcast from SingTel. The rebate will dampen SingTels ability to gain market share and monetise its investment in the BPL, in our view.
What We Think
What Happened
SingTel hosted a post-1QFY3/14 results conference call. The key takeaways are: SingTel lowered its group revenue and EBITDA guidance because of the weakening regional currencies. Management attributed the groups higher margin to: 1) the higher adoption of tiered data plans which jumped from 24% to 31%; 2) lower sales of low-margin devices, a trend similar to its peers; and 3) cost management. Optuss 1Q revenue was weak across all key lines although its EBITDA held up well through strong cost control. After reviewing Optuss satellite business, management has decided to retain it. It does not have any firm
Switch to M1 which is the key beneficiary of the rising take-up of tiered data plans. We also like Telkom Indonesia for its moderate growth and fairly low competitive risks.

1H13 was below our expectation (49% of FY13) and 46% of consensus; we had expected front-loading with 1H at about 60%. The shortfall was due to lower-than-expected revenue and margins. We cut our EPS by 10% for FY13 accordingly. Nevertheless, maintain Outperform and target price at 0.9x CY13 P/BV (30% below its 5-year mean). Stronger order wins are still expected to catalyse its shares.

Tender book is still strong at about US$2bn for contracts to be announced within the next 12 months, if successful. These include US$500m in Mexico, US$800m in Indonesia, US$400m in Brunei, and US$400m in India. YTD contracts have reached US$578m, within our target of US$800m for FY13.
Revenue in 2Q13 of US$242m (+5% yoy, -22% qoq) was below our expected US$350m from lower than-expected project recognition from South-East Asia, India and Mexico. Gross margins were 15.3% (1Q13: 16.1%) due to higher-than-expected costs incurred for its first project in Mexico (gross margins about 9%). We believe Swiber will take some time (FY14/15) to improve its margins in Mexico as it climbs the learning curve. We look to the execution of jobs mainly from

We reiterate our Outperform rating on the stock. We lower our FY13-15 EPS by 10-25%, even though we cut EBIT by only 2-6% because of still weak cargo markets. Our target price is however unchanged, still based on a CY14 EV/EBITDAR multiple of 6.6x, its mid-cycle average. Catalysts include continued supply discipline and better yields from an improved passenger route mix.
persistent strength on long-haul routes, while some of the concerns on short-haul sectors, such as in Japan, should begin to moderate.
Core profit in 1H13 of HK$24m was well below our forecasts of HK$735m. However, operating profit of HK$1bn in 1H13 was just below our estimate of HK$1.2bn. Passenger yields continued to rise, improving 4% yoy as the company saw improvements in business travel demand and underlying fares. The change in route mix towards more short-haul sectors also helped to push up passenger yields. Management believes that this should continue into 2H13 due to

Cargo yields declined 3% yoy, with management highlighting that demand is still weak. Cathay believes that some of the new tech launches in September may bolster its peak season demand, but demand for air freight remains uncertain.
Cathay highlighted that its profit was adversely affected by weaker associate income. We had forecast associate earnings of HK$182m in 1H13, but there was instead a loss of HK$155m. This weakness stemmed primarily from a yoy decline in Air Chinas operations, while Air China Cargo also remained a soft spot. Cathays new cargo terminal also incurred larger-than-expected expenses in the period.

Dividend surprise
Discounting one-off impacts, SJMs EBITDA was relatively in-line with our expectations. Due to a high cash balance, we view SJM as a quality dividend investment. The interim dividend surprised on the upside which could lead to a higher full-year payout ratio.
Michael TING
1H13s net profit came in at 52% of our full-year forecast. We maintain our Outperform call on SJM and make no changes to our earnings or target price. Our target price is based on 10x EV/EBITDA for CY14 (the multiple we assign to Cotai operators), along with HK$4.11 for SJM Cotai. The higher-than-expected dividends could catalyse the shares. SJM reported a 2Q13 adjusted EBITDA of HK$2.1bn (+13% yoy, +1% qoq) and 10% higher than our expectation of HK$1.9bn (up 2% yoy). Excluding the one-time HK$149m receivable from Macau Legend Development, 2Q13 EBITDA would only have been 2% above our forecast, and EBITDA margins would have been flat on a yoy and qoq basis at 9.8% based on gaming revenue. SJMs dividend of 20HKcents per share (up 100% yoy) surprised on the upside and represents a payout of 29% vs. 16% in 1H12.
2Q13 results
Grand Lisboas EBITDA fell by 12% on a qoq basis, mainly due to a lower hold rate, in addition to some VIP tables being temporarily removed from the property. With additional junket and premium mass tables added to the property in 2H, we expect Grand Lisboa to see better revenue growth in 2H. For 3Q13, we currently project group EBITDA reaching HK$2.1bn, up 11% yoy.
In 1H13, SJM had a cash balance of HK$25bn with only HK$1.6bn worth of debt. We expect SJM Cotai to be the last property to open in 2017 and hence SJM should be able to sustain its dividend until at least 2015. While management maintains its 75% dividend payout ratio, we believe that upside exists to this payout ratio given the low gearing and low capex until 2016. SJM is currently trading at 9x forward consensus EV/EBITDA, in-line with its three year averages.

As noted in our 2Q13 preview published on 18 July (PDF), we expect a 5% yoy net profit growth. CMB will kick off the 2Q13 results announcement this Friday. We stay Overweight on the sector with ICBC, CCB and ABC as top picks. Catalysts include 2Q13 results, better-than-expected asset quality and stabilising macro data. The CBRC released 2Q13 operating data for the commercial bank sector today. Four areas disclosed: 1) Asset quality seems to have stabilised with the NPL ratio flat at 96bp and NPLs outstanding up by only 2.5% qoq. State-owned banks showed much more solid asset quality than joint-stock banks, recording a flat NPL outstanding vs. +7% qoq at joint-stock banks. 2) Banks booked solid profit progression in the quarter. NIM rebounded nicely by 2bp qoq to 259bp after consecutive declines over the past two quarters, contributing positively to a strong net profit growth of 14.5% yoy (vs. 13% in 1Q13). Non-interest income accounted for 24% of gross revenue (vs. 20% in FY12), pointing to a strong fee income growth being recorded in the quarter.
ROA and ROE expanded by 1bp and 19bp to 1.38% and 21.19%, respectively. 3) Capital adequacy remained stable, with the tier-1 ratio standing comfortably at 9.85%. 4) Liquidity stance deteriorated slightly with the loan-to-deposit ratio increasing by 0.5% to 65.2%, but still at a comfortably level.
What Happened
What We Think
ICBC
We have an Outperform call on ICBC. We like its strong liquidity (lowest LDR among state-owned banks), strong capital position and, by our estimates, the lowest rate-sensitivity among the big banks.
ABC
Agricultural Bank of China is an Outperform. We like its strong position in higher-margin county banking and strong funding franchise. Its weaker capital position is not an immediate concern.
Sector level data point to a solid quarter, which we expect to be mirrored in the results of the H-share banks. Firstly, the signs of asset quality stabilisation affirm our view that distressed credits are being actively addressed behind the scenes. Secondly, the NIM recovery and strong fee income contribution should represent positive surprises from the 2Q13 results. Finally, we think that commercial banks balance sheets remain strong with sufficient NPL coverage (291%), solid capital positions and still-comfortable liquidity stance. Overweight maintained. We expect state-owned banks to outperform joint-stock banks on both asset quality and earnings more broadly.

1H13 core net profit disappointed, forming only 38% of our and consensus full-year forecasts. We cut our FY13-15 EPS by 2-21 % for lower ASPs, and slash our DCF-based target price to Rp20,000 (WACC 11%, LT growth 0%). Our Underperform call is intact as we foresee a limited recovery for coal prices and earnings risks.
ITMGs weaker-than-expected 1H13 core net profit and negative earnings trend in 2Q13 (-19% qoq) mainly reflect a weaker ASP (US$76.8/t in 2Q13, -4% qoq). On a more positive note, 2Q13 cost was flat qoq and came in at US$62.9/t, as the stripping ratio was maintained at 11.7x in 2Q13. Its 1H13 sales volume of 14Mt (+13% yoy) was slightly ahead of our expectation and helped support 1H13 earnings.
previous guidance of US$80/t). ITMG has contracted 95% of its 2013 volume, with 84% sold at a fixed price but 16% (11% index-linked and 5% unsold) still exposed to market prices. If coal price fails to recover above US$85/t, it could face potential asset write-downs. Deferred stripping and development & exploration costs in 1H13 rose to US$79m and US$147m, respectively collectively accounting for 24% of its book value.
Dwindling yield
The key concerns still revolve around the potential impact of weak coal prices. Management is now guiding for 2013 ASP to come in slightly lower than 1H13s ASP of US$78/t (vs. its

Thanks to positive surprises from Chinas industrial output growth, ITMG's share price has recently outperformed on growth recovery expectations. Our base-case coal price scenario still expects a price recovery to be capped by supply growth, hence limiting ITMGs earnings recovery upside and re-rating potential. Our revised FY14 EPS forecast implies a 2014 dividend yield of 5%, which is higher than its peers but insufficient to justify its premium valuation, in our view.

Notes from the Field
Treading it lightly
Current Indonesia property valuations imply a 10% bond yield or 250bp above the current level, suggesting that the sector has entered a global bear case scenario. Is it time to be more cautiously positive?

We still think companies with better risk management and growth prospects amid the uncertainty will be winners. We stay Overweight and our top picks are CTRA, ASRI and SMRA. Catalysts are good presales number and solid project launches. Foreign money outflow combined with unsavoury signals from Bank Indonesia (BI) on interest rates and its mortgage policy have brought the sector down by 45% from the peak. The good news is that we are at the tail end, if not back to square one, of the foreign outflow if we compare Jul 13 to Jan 13. Yet, the likelihood of a tighter policy regarding property purchases and mortgage rate hike have caused market jitters. We are confident that the change in target segment to the mass market in the long term is a natural structural shift in any developing market. In our view, the preventive measure pulled by the BI will keep the sector and its buyers relatively healthy and reduce long-term default risk. Some developers have shown the ability to improve ROCE not solely through
Summarecon Agung
One of the solid property developers out there with good investment assets and growing to boot, the companys current valuation combined with its steadier return outlook, in our view, offer buying opportunities.
Cash is important, even more so nowadays given the uncertainty in the external financing market, huge backlog development and increasing borrowing cost. On average, 70% of the cash as of 1H13 is free cash for expansion and near-term working capital, indicating that developers ability to stay solvent in this uncertain hour is high. Also, while D/E has inched up, more than half of reporting companies are still in net cash positions.
Alam Sutera
Its valuation is attractive with more upside risk from one-off asset sales. The Serpong asset is still the main cash generator and we view the success of new project launches and eventually earnings growth as the main re-rating catalysts for the stock.
Selective picks
The correlation between bond yield and equity performance shows an arbitrary buying opportunity. While the 10-year government bond is now trading at 7.5%, the implied risk-free rate reflected by property stocks is much higher at 10% or 250bp above. While keeping in mind these facts as well as macro and outflow risk, we believe that stocks with the highest conviction of turnover growth will win.

With 9MFY13 core earnings forming 90% of our full-year forecast, we raise our FY13-15 forecasts by 12-14% as we up our traffic estimates. We also raise our DCF-based target price (9.8% WACC, 5% long-term traffic growth). AOT stays at an Underperform. Traffic growth normalisation due to an enlarged base can challenge its rich valuations.
AOTs 3QFY13 core profit weakened 20% qoq due to seasonality. More relevant was the 106% yoy surge, which showcased its operating leverage as the 19% gain in pax traffic was achieved on a flat cost base. The balance sheet continued to strengthen. Cash & investments piled up to THB40.9bn while loans were paid down further to THB42.5bn. AOT raised the hedge ratio of its yen loans from 78% to 94%, with the remaining unhedged portion being only THB7.6bn. This should contain any mark-t0-market impact from these loans.

Tourism should remain the brightest spot for the Thai economy. Tourist arrivals jumped 20% yoy to 12.7m during Jan-Jun 2013. The key growth contributor is likely to still be Chinese travellers (18% of the total), who surged 95% yoy and accounted for half of Thailands total rise in tourist arrivals during the period. We raise our international pax traffic growth forecast for FY13 from 20% to 23% while keeping the domestic growth forecast at 17%. We assume no pax fee hikes until FY17, when Suvarnabhumi Phase 2 will be completed. AOT has turned from the stock that could do no right to the one that can do no wrong. This shift is too extreme. In our estimate, for AOT to be priced above THB200/share (+10% from here), the current pace of 20% p.a. pax traffic growth must be sustained over the next two years. That sounds like a tall order.

In doctors we trust
2Q13 core profit met our forecast and consensus. With aggressive network expansion, we believe BGHs strong growth will continue over the next few years.
1H13 core profit forms 43% of our full-year forecast. With 2H normally stronger than 1H, we are keeping our EPS, Outperform and target price at 34x CY14 P/E, an 8% discount to its 2006 peak. Continued earnings strength on the back of an expanded network should catalyse its share price. Its current weakness (related to general market weakness) offers good buying opportunities, in our opinion. On the other hand, gross margins weakened from 32.2% in 2Q12 and 34.5% in 1Q13 to 31.5% in 2Q13. BGH had recruited more nurses to meet higher demand for its current services and in preparation for its new hospitals, which should be up-and-running next year. And as it had to add non-clinical staff to cater to an expanded network, its SG&A as a percentage of revenue also rose from 18.9% in 2Q12 to 21.1% in 2Q13; the figure was 17.6% in 1Q13. In 1Q13, BGH had raised its stake in the Thonburi Medical Center (formerly Krungdhon Hospital) from 20% to 45%. It also raised its stake in Medic Pharma from 49% to 86.2%. Revaluation of its investments in both resulted in a THB131m gain on fair-value adjustments.
Revenue grew 11% yoy in 2Q13, though down 4% qoq. Thai-patient revenue grew 10% yoy, while international-patient revenue jumped 11% yoy. International patients still accounted for 27% of its revenue in 2Q13. Outpatient revenue grew 10% yoy while inpatient revenue rose 11% yoy.

1H13 core profit was in line, at 51% of our full-year forecast. We keep our EPS numbers but raise our target price by 5% to THB43 as we now apply a CY14 P/E of 29x, 2 s.d. above its 3-year historical average instead of 28x based on 1.5 s.d. given the better outlook. We reiterate our Outperform call as strong tourist arrivals and higher same-store-sales growth (SSSG) should allow it to sustain its share price outperformance. Centels 2Q13 hotel revenues advanced 28% yoy, thanks to both higher occupancy and average daily room rate (ADR), which in turn was driven by the 21% rise in tourist arrivals. Revenue per available room (RevPar) jumped 35% yoy. Its hotel gross margins also improved nicely from 26.8% in 2Q12 to 27.7% in 2Q13.
With tourist arrivals expected to rise 20% this year and 12% next year, its hotel business should perform well.
Centels F&B revenues rose 11.7% yoy, largely due to an increase in outlets as SSSG softened to 2.2% in 2Q13 from 3.2% in 1Q13. However, its F&B gross margin showed a nice uptick from 45.9% in 2Q12 and 44.6% in 1Q13 to 47.2% in 2Q13. We expect its margins to remain healthy for the rest of the year.
SG&A as a percentage of revenues moved up slightly to 30.6% in 2Q13 from 29.1% in 2Q12 and 26.1% in 1Q13. Net gearing also edged up slightly to 116% in 2Q13 from 110% in 1Q13 but was better than 2Q12s 155%.

1H13 core earnings came in at 54% of our full-year forecast, which we deem in line. Our forecasts are, therefore, intact, along with our Outperform call. But our SOP target price is reduced slightly due to the lower market values for listed units. We believe that success in landing more government infrastructure projects will catalyse its share price. CKs construction revenues rose 87%, thanks to its heavy order backlog of THB108bn, equivalent to more than three years of revenue. There is, therefore, no concern on this front even though public infrastructure projects may be delayed if the Constitution Court rules against the governments THB2tr infrastructure spending bill.
We think that it can sustain high margins over the next few years given the weak competition and tame building material prices. However, we are still concerned about its high net gearing of 165%, which entails a heavy interest burden.
Construction boom
CK reduced its stake in Bangkok Metro (BMCL) from 24.61% to 16.64%, booking THB1.1bn gains from the sale in 2Q13. It booked only THB20m gain from the sale of some shares in Thai Tap Water (TTW) in 2Q12, a fraction of 1Q13s THB2.2bn gain.

We deem the results as broadly in line and maintain our earnings estimates and DCF-based target price of THB32.5. It remains an Outperform with store openings and margin expansion as catalysts.
Globals 2Q13 revenue of THB3.8bn was broadly in line at 42% of our FY13 estimate, despite the low SSSG of 6.4% in 2Q (and 7% in 1H13). Management kept its full-year forecast of 10% SSSG in FY13 as it expects a pickup in 4Q13. Gross margin in 2Q fell 30bp on seasonality, while 1H13 gross margin was on track to achieve the companys full-year target of near 16%, helped by higher private label goods contributions in 2H13. SG&A expenses spiked in 2Q due to four store openings (vs. one in 1Q). 2Q13 core profit of THB231m (-22%qoq, +60%yoy) brought the 1H13 core profit to THB527m, 41% of our FY13 forecast. However, we are not concerned as we expect higher

earnings in 2H13, especially in 4Q. Management confirmed that the demand remains robust (we agree) and it is on track to meet its store expansion, sales and margin targets (which closely match our assumptions). Its first distribution centre (DC) is also on track to open in 1H14.
Big improvements in 4Q
We expect 3Q numbers will remain soft (echoed by the management) given the rainy season and high SG&A expenses as seven stores are due to open in 2H13. However, we believe that 4Q will benefit as the store openings will be in time for the peak season for home construction.
We believe that Globals earnings growth justifies its high P/E valuation and the stock will continue to re-rate due to 1) robust product demand; 2) rapid store expansion; and 3) improved inventory days once its DC is operational.

Despite poor market sentiment, investors will soon return to hunt for bargains on the back of listing companies' healthy performances and the sound economy.
Paiboon Nalinthrangkurn, Chairman of the Federation of Thai Capital Market Organizations
The recent pullback in capital flows from Thai financial markets had helped to take some steam off the baht, which fell sharply by 6.3% in May-Jul, though the decline narrowed to 0.2% in early Aug to THB31.3/US$1 on 14 Aug. This was a welcome relief to the BOT, which was earlier contemplating capital controls to curb the bahts strong gains (prior to its recent correction), which had threatened to undermine the countrys export competitiveness. We believe that economic fundamentals should remain supportive of a gradual appreciation of the baht over the medium term. However, in the near term, we think policymakers would not be too averse to a weaker exchange rate, if triggered by a sharp retrenchment of capital. Our Treasury desk estimates that the baht could touch THB32/US$1 by end-Dec 13.

Airtels FY13 annual report reveal ed that losses in its growth initiatives (Africa, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and DTH operations) expanded to Rs9.7/share in FY13 (vs. Rs7.3/share in FY12). However, the losses in the Bangladesh and Sri Lanka operations have stabilised at Rs3.9/share in FY13 (Figures 1 and 2). Under its African operations, five countries (Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana, DRC and Uganda) contributed ~84% of Airtel Africas net losses (Figure 4). Africas losses expanded yoy due to: 1) the Malawi operations registered a net loss in FY13 (vs. net profit in
Of the FY13 gross debt of Rs733bn, 66% were US$-denominated (vs. FY12s 70%) and 86% were floating rate borrowings (vs. FY12s 91%). A 1% pt increase in interest rate for US$ borrowings would lower pretax profit by Rs4.8bn (~6% of FY14 pretax profit).

1Q14 EPS at 16% of our full year forecast, was above expectations due to more releases and base cost control. We revise FY14/15/16 EPS by -6%/+3%/-6%, finetuning movie release assumptions. With the stock down 22% (last three months), without much change in prospects, we upgrade it to Outperform, but cut our DCF-based target of Rs168 (from Rs176). Key catalyst is big movie releases in 3Q.
forecast.
1Q topline of Rs1.86bn was ahead of our forecast of Rs1.61bn, as Eros capitalised on late stage overseas distribution opportunities. Gross margin at 29.5% was up 114bp yoy, on the strong performance of the quarters mid-budget releases and the mark-up on overseas rights transferred to the parent. EBITDA margin at 21.2% was up 106bp yoy (CIMB est. 18.3%), as G&A costs fell c42% on tight cost control. With below-the-line provision writebacks, PAT at Rs293m beat our Rs175m
The FY14 movie release pipeline on the whole remains steady, with a couple of mid-small budget movie slippages into FY15 being offset by other additions. Eros is confident of releasing scheduled big-budget movies in FY14, which supports our forecasts. We do not rule out upside to our box office forecasts, given the upsurge in collections seen for recent movies. DAS should drive up broadcasting rights pricing, while monetisation through new revenue streams like digital and HBO partnership augur well for margins.
We believe big-budget releases that are bunched in 3Q will drive the stocks performance, even as FY15 pipeline should take better shape by then. While we believe there are risks to margins on overseas transfer pricing, these are factored into our forecasts.

With the new projects utilisation levels improving in the coming quarters, we expect losses to ease from 2Q onwards, and hence maintain our financial estimates. We incorporate the risk of the third Istanbul airport bid that was out recently on its GMR Istanbul airport asset in form of traffic growth limitation post FY18.

However, Novelis may have hit a prolonged rough patch over the medium term due to i) a structural shift in North American can sheet demand and ii) a sharp slowdown in Brazil coupled with inflationary pressures. However, the capacity ramp-up and recycling initiatives which are likely to be gradual over FY14-16 would partially offset the slowdown in the can sheet businesses.

Record losses
IVRCL reported its biggest-ever quarterly core net loss of Rs695m in 1QFY3/14 as EBITDA margin collapsed to a historic low on a 17% decline in sales. We keep it at Underperform as its net debt continues to rise and bankruptcy risk is high.
1Q EBITDA fell 47% yoy to Rs653m, 39% below our estimate. Instead of Rs221m net profit, we now expect a net loss in FY14 and also cut FY15-16 forecasts by 19-35%. We think IVRCL will gradually return to profits by 4QFY14. We slash our SOP-based target price as we lower our FY15 P/E target to 5x (lower end of sector range of 5-7x) from 8x to reflect poor profitability and equity dilution risks from funding of new projects. IVRCLs EBITDA margin collapsed by nearly 380bp yoy to hit a historic low of 6.5% on the back of a 17% sales dip, leading to nearly 47% yoy decline in EBITDA. Even though interest expenses eased marginally (-7% yoy and -4% qoq), the sharp margin collapse pushed its net loss to a historic high of Rs695m. Net debt rose 22% qoq to Rs290bn in a seasonally weak quarter. The results were sharply below estimates 8% on sales and 39% on EBITDA.
After returning to PAT breakeven level in 4QFY13, the company again slipped into red in 1QFY14. Considering the deterioration in the economy in recent months, we cut our EBITDA forecast by 20% for FY14 and around 3% for FY15-16. We now expect a net loss in FY14, while it should return to profitability in the seasonally good 4QFY14. The management expects to monetise its Chennai desalination plant in the Sep quarter.
Maintain Underperform
Considering that the prolonged economic slowdown will delay turnaround of leveraged companies such as IVRCL, we cut our FY15 target P/E from 8x to 5x (lower end of the sector range of 5-7x) to reflect its poor ROE and equity funding requirements for its BOT road projects. This reduces our SOP-based target price to Rs10.8.

1Q core PAT was 87% above our estimate due to higher tax credits. Hence, we raise our FY14 earnings by 29% but maintain FY15-16 earnings. Maintain Underperform with a lower target price of Rs237, based on 5.5x FY15 EV/EBITDA as we roll forward . Soft economic conditions and domestic pricing pressures remain key de-rating catalysts.

Key highlights
1QFY14 consolidated EBITDA was 10% above estimates at Rs36.9b. Standalone EBITDA was 3% lower than our estimate at Rs28.3b. However, reported PAT rose sharply to Rs11.4b due to lower tax on the back of tax credits from actuarial gains and deferred taxes. Standalone steel sales volumes were at 2.0mt (+27% yoy & -12% qoq). The steel ASP at US$799/t (-16% yoy & -2% qoq) was 2% above estimates. EBITDA/t at US$253/t (-22% yoy & -6% qoq) was 6% below estimates. International steel sales volumes were
Key highlights from the earnings call: i) management is yet to decide on the Stemcors assets, ii) Tata Steel incurred capex of Rs37.6bn in 1QFY14, primarily for its greenfield expansion in Orissa, iii) the company has so far incurred capex of Rs95bn for Orissa out of the total planned capex of Rs230bn and iv) an improvement in margins for its European operations was on the back of actions taken over the last several years despite weak market conditions.
We roll forward our valuations to FY15 and lower our target price to Rs237. We believe that the improvement in EBITDA for its international operations is seasonal in nature.

As a result, we reduce our FY14-16 EPS by 13-16%. Given the increasing regulatory uncertainties at its facilities (483 observation at Chikalthana, the delay of inspection at Shendra and ongoing issues at Waluj), we raise our P/E discount to the mid-cap pharma sector to 50% which leads to a lower target price, based on 6x FY15 P/E. A successful resolution of the USFDA issues is an upside to our Neutral rating.
business was weak on account of ongoing pricing policy issues and the early impact of the ban on its key product. Thus, the weakness in its higher-margin businesses resulted in a 320bp yoy (570bp qoq) decline in EBITDA margins to 31%. These factors, coupled with a lower tax-rate of 10% resulted in PAT (adjusted for forex loss) at Rs3.38bn (-16% yoy). Apart from the ongoing uncertainties regarding the USFDA resolution timeline for Wockhardts Waluj facility (13% of FY13 revenues), there have been 483 observations for its Chikalthana facility (23% of FY13 revenues, includes Toprol). While Wockhardt states that it is now better prepared to resolve USFDA queries, the risk of a USFDA warning letter remains. Also, the planned site transfer from Waluj to the Shendra injectables facility could be delayed as the proposed inspections have not happened yet but are expected within the next couple of months.
Uncertainties galore
1QFY14 revenues declined by 5% yoy (1% growth on a like-for-like basis) led by the US (7% in US$ terms and 11% in Rs terms), the EU (-10%) and India (+3%). We note that the qoq decline in US revenues (from US$152m to US$125m) was due to a seasonal impact, pricing pressure for key products and the early impact of the USFDA import alert. Also, its Europe business was weak on account of negative growth for Pinewood and the early impact of the recall/import alert for its UK business. Its India

Cost-driven outperformance
Cebu Air reported 1H13 core net profits that comprised 61% of full-year forecasts against a typical 55%. However, we consider the results as broadly in line with expectations in anticipation of a tougher 2H13 due to the peso depreciation and likely initial losses on the A330 flights.
We maintain our Outperform call and target price basis of 11x CY14 P/E (sector average). Our EPS forecasts are unchanged pending this afternoons analyst conference call. We believe Cebu Air is poised to benefit from a return to rationality in the domestic aviation market and this will re-rate the stock. Cebu Air posted a Php257m net profit for 2Q13, two-thirds below last years 2Q. However, this was mainly due to Php1.5m in foreign exchange translation losses, which in turn was caused by the impact of the 5.4% depreciation of the peso over the 2Q. Stripping these and other one-offs out, Cebu Airs 2Q13 core net profit was 42% higher yoy while 1H13 core net profit was 93% more yoy. This was driven by 9-10% ASK capacity growth, 10-12% RPK demand growth as load factors rose and a 6-7% fall in unit costs as fuel prices fell 5-9% yoy. This was partially offset by 3.7% yoy lower
Highlights of 2Q13
yield in 2Q13 although 1H13 yield was flat yoy. We believe yields fell because (1) Easter was celebrated in Apr last year against Mar this year, (2) fuel surcharges may have declined, (3) the two recent airplane incidents may have required some discounting to rebuild consumer confidence, and/or (4) Cebu Air intentionally discounted to gain market share as PLFs rose.
A tougher 2H13?
It will likely be challenging for Cebu Air to repeat 1Hs stellar earnings in the next half-year because of the weaker peso and start-up losses on the A330 operations to Dubai. The 2H is also seasonally weaker than 1H. During the conference call, we hope to clarify the real reasons behind the surprising yoy decline in 2Q passenger yields after the impressive 5% yoy rise in 1Q13 yield, which may shed light on the current competitive landscape.

This was partially offset by the 4% drop in yield, as the peak (and higher yielding) Easter travel was in 1Q13, as opposed to 2Q12. The drop in fuel prices further aided EBITDA, which rose 40% yoy in 2Q13. Depreciation expense increased as the number of owned aircraft has increased from 27 in 2Q12 to 32 in 2Q13. Forex losses of Php1.4bn in 2Q13 as US$ strengthened against peso; classified as exceptionals. Positive taxes in 2Q13, but no explanation offered. 1H13 core profit accounted for 61% of full-year forecast, as opposed to a more typical 55%, due to lower fuel price partially offset by drop in 1H13 yield. Still, we think the results are broadly in line, as 2H13 could be tougher.
