    When no news is good newsRIOs 2Q13 quarterly production report revealed increased coal andcopper production offset by disappointing alumina production and aslightly underwhelming iron ore number. While on balance we viewthe report as marginally on the positive side of expectations, the stockrallied hard, implying to us the market appears braced for bad news.

    Taking into account the production

    results and making small adjustmentsto June quarter commodity prices,our 2013 EPS forecast has declined by2.6%. Our NPV has fallen negligiblyto A$82.24ps and we retain ourOutperform recommendation with aslightly revised target price ofA$74.10 (previously A$74.20) basedon a 10% discount to our NPV.

    What HappenedRIO reported its June quarterproduction, in which it also reiterated

    full-year 2013 guidance. Minedcopper production for the group wasincreased by 5% as production atBingham Canyon exceededexpectations, while 2013 aluminaproduction has been cut by 6%. Therewas no change to full-year iron ore orcoal production forecasts. RIO alsoreported its Exploration andEvaluation expenditure for 1H13 wasUS$542m versus US$1,025m for thesame period last year, indicating it is

    ahead of its own target of achieving a

    US$750m pa cost saving in this area.

    What We ThinkWe think the report, while not thestrongest set of numbers, was a goodresult in light of ongoing commodityprice weakness and continueduncertainty regarding the globaleconomic outlook. Falling commodityprices will inevitably force mineclosures and, in this respect, it isunderstandable the market is bracedfor bad news when it comes to mining

    stocks. In this context, increased coalproduction, lowering unit costs, aswell as cost savings in Explorationand Evaluation should give investorsconfidence in RIOs ability to meet itscost and production targets.

    What You Should DoWe still prefer Rio Tinto to BHP dueto what we view as its superior growthprofile and we believe the stock willre-rate as its higher-returning ironore expansions are commissioned.

    What does it feel like?The significant shift towards multi-family housing starts means thatfrom a materials intensity perspective a housing start today is worthmuch less than a start 10 years ago. While headline housing starts arenow at near-mid-cycle levels, our feels like adjusted housing activityindex indicates that levels remain about 10% below long-term averages.We believe this change is structural, and it carries meaningful

    implications for the mid-cycle profitability of Boral (BLD) and CSR.Figure 1: Adjusting starts for intensity

    High-density housing contributed40% of national starts in 2012, upfrom 25% over the past 25 years.Importantly, our analysis indicatesthe value of demand pulled throughfrom an apartment is only about 50%of the level of a detached house. As a

    result of this intensity differential andthe shift to apartments, a housingstart today is worth less than inprevious cycles.

    A structural changeWe see this trend as structural ratherthan cyclical. We believe affordability,as well as demographic factors suchas shrinking households, increasingimmigration and a broader shift towardsa CBD-centric, service-orientedeconomy underpin this trend.Consistent with commentary from

    materials providers and anecdotalindustry feedback, we believe thesetrends are unlikely to reverse. Thisshift to high-density housing willundoubtedly influence mid-cycle

    profitability for Australian buildingproducts businesses.

    Implication for mid-cycleIn particular, we forecast mid-cycleearnings for Boral and CSRs buildingproducts businesses will be structurallylower than in the past. We haverevisited our mid-cycle assumptionsfor the broader companies. Ouranalysis places BLDs current shareprice on a mid-cycle PER of 11x,which we view as fair, and CSRs on amore attractive 8x PER. On this basis,we prefer CSR to BLD, albeit withsignificant exposure to external factorssuch as FX rates and aluminium prices.

    Our sector preferencesWe continue to prefer FletcherBuilding (FBU, Neutral) given the

    groups cyclical leverage and industrypositions in New Zealand. We alsomaintain our Neutral rating for CSR,Adelaide Brighton (ABC) and BLD,and our Underperform rating forJames Hardie Industries (JHX).

    SHORT TERM(3 MTH) LONG TERM

    SECTOR FLASH NOTE

    APA continues on acquisitiontrailAPA has approached ENV with an indicative and non-binding mergerproposal under which ENV shareholders would receive 0.1678 newAPA stapled securities for each ENV share they ownplus ENVs finaldividend (up to 3.0cps). This implies A$1.10 for each share at an 11%premium to one-month VWAP (1% premium excluding the dividend).

    With the HDF transaction now largelybedded down, APA has set its sightson acquiring the 67% of stock in ENVthat it doesnt currently own. WithAPA trading ahead of our unchangedtarget price (A$6.18) and risk that itsincreased exposure to regulationresults in a multiple de-rating if thetransaction proceeds, we downgradeour rating to Neutral. We maintainour Neutral rating for ENV, but

    increase our target price to A$1.07 toreflect the merger proposal.

    What HappenedAPA announced it has approachedENV with an indicative andnon-binding merger proposal. APAhas offered ENV shareholders 0.1678new APA stapled securities for eachENV share they own plus ENVs finaldividend (up to 3.0cps). This impliesA$1.10 for each share and 11%premium to one-month VWAP. The

    proposal is intended to proceed byway of scheme of arrangement andAPA management has indicated abullish timeframe for the deal(completion by December 2013).While due diligence should be promptgiven APAs familiarity with the assets,we believe the process is likely to takelonger given these processes arealways more protracted than firstexpected and the presence of anothersubstantial investor on the register(CKI).With ENVs share price already

    trading through the deal terms today,

    we also believe APA will likely need tolift its bid to get the deal over the line.

    What We ThinkWith APA already holding a 33%stake in ENV, plus operating andmaintaining its assets, a move to fullownership was always on the cards.While the transaction will likely resultin synergies (cA$10m in corporatecosts to start with), one of the key

    factors that drew us to APA was itslower-than-peer exposure toregulation and this transaction willlift regulated earnings from 30% to>50%. On our estimates, thecombined entity is likely to trade at11.4x FY14EV/EBITDA versus APAscurrent 13.5x and ENVs 10.9x. WithAPA attracting a premium to peersdue to its growth prospects and lowerregulatory risk, in our view, we believeit is likely APA will trade slightlylower than this implied multiple.

    What You Should DoWith the transaction indicative andnon-binding at this stage, we make nochanges to our forecasts. However, wedowngrade APA to Neutral (A$6.18target price) with it having tradedthrough our 12-month target priceand pending a response from ENVsboard of directors in relation to theproposal. We also maintain ourNeutral rating for ENV, albeit with aslightly increased target price ofA$1.07 reflecting the terms of todaysmerger proposal.

    AUSTRALIA STRATEGY

    Still staying on the dividend path(II)An analysis of higher-yielding stock valuation needs to consider notonly the dividend yield, but also the PE ratio and the outlook forpayout ratios. Relative to global peers, the valuation of Australiasbanks looks a little less attractive on these metrics, but it remains

    attractive in the consumer staples sector. In telcos and utilities,Australia has less relative value irrespective of the valuation method.

    The appeal in dividendsIn our recent report, Still staying on the dividend path (5 July 2013), weargued that despite the increase in recent months, the level of global interestrates is still very low relative to history and seems likely to remain relatively lowfor some time. Furthermore, one implication of slower economic growth andlower interest rates is that dividends are a more important component of aninvestors total return.

    The global interest rate outlookRecently we wrote that we expect the US 10-year note to be relatively

    range-bound (2.5% to 3.0%) until the data signals a stronger pick-up in USgrowth. We expect this to emerge later in the year, prompting the Fed to movetowards completion of its asset purchase program. However, scenarios onpayroll growth and the implied unemployment rate suggest an increase in theFed funds rate is still a long way off. In our view, markets have fully priced inthe completion of the asset purchase program, but they are struggling to pricein the Fed outlook beyond that.

    BanksThe Australian banks look attractive on a dividend yield basis, but on a PE ratiobasis the sector looks expensive relative to global peers. However, relative to itsown history, the PE ratio is not excessively high. The payout ratio is the highestamong our group of global markets and it has been so for at least 11 years.

    Consumer staplesLike the banks, the consumer staples sector has the highest payout ratio amongour group of global markets and it has been so for at least 11 years. The PE ratiois in line with the global average and slightly lower than its own history. In ourview, the sector probably offers even better value than the banks on both adividend yield and PE basis.

    UtilitiesThe Australian utilities have a slightly higher dividend yield than the globalaverage, but it is lower than it has been in the past. History shows the dividendyield is normally higher than the global average.

    TelecommunicationsThe dividend yield on the Australian telco sector (mainly Telstra) is in line withthe global average, but well below its longer-run historical average. On a PEratio basis, the Australian sector is expensive relative to global peers, but it is inline with its longer-run average. The payout ratio is 90% and this is also thelong-run average, but both Finland (97%) and Denmark (95%) offer an evenhigher payout.

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

    We cut FY13 EPS by 28% and FY14-15EPS by 7% each to reflect 2Q13s

    weakness and several assumptionchanges. As a result, we lower ourtarget price by 7%, still based on 1.9xFY13 P/BV (derived using an FY14ROE of 17%). Nevertheless, maintainOutperform as robust earnings from3Q13 are expected to catalyse itsstock.

    What HappenedAfter speaking to S-Oil to gauge itsnear-term earnings outlook, we cutour 2Q13 operating-profit estimate by

    60% to W90bn from our early-Mayforecast to account for: 1) a biggerqoq oil-price decline (7% vs. 4%); 2) alarger qoq volume decline from itsmaintenance shutdown (-9% vs. -3%for refined products; other productvolumes also lowered); and 3) anarrower PX-naphtha spread(US$580/t vs. US$600/t), more thanoffsetting b-t-e refining margins in2Q13 (the bulk of FY13 revisionscoming from 2Q13 changes). ForFY14-15, we cut our operating-profit

    forecasts by 4% and 1%, respectively,mainly to account for lower oil-priceassumptions.

    What We ThinkDespite our reduced earnings, we stay

    positive on 2H13-2014 refiningmargins due to a benign supplyoutlook. Even if demand concerns inChina linger on, we believe a lack ofnew refining capacity in the next 18months will lead to healthyimprovements in global refiningutilisation rates. Based on IEAs latestoil-consumption and net-refiningcapacity-addition forecasts, weestimate that the global refiningutilisation rate will improve from82.7% in 2012 to 83.2% in 2013,

    83.7% in 2014 and mid-cycle level of84% in 2015.

    What You Should DoWhile we like S-Oil, we prefer GSHand SKI at this juncture asuncertainties over S-Oils upcomingcapex programme should remain anoverhang until an announcement ismade (expected by end-2013).Although S-Oil has communicatedthat its dividend policy will notchange, the market appears

    concerned that its cash-flow strainsmight lower its dividends.

    Buy ahead of timber reratingTa Ann started off as a timber company but has since diversified intooil palm. While oil palm is currently the largest profit contributor, oneshould not overlook the potential of its timber business which could seestronger earnings as we expect timber prices to head higher.

    We begin coverage on the stock with aTrading Buy call and a target price ofRM4.67, based on an SOP valuation.The stock is not an Outperform as weexpect it to be rerated only in theshort term, driven by rising timberprices. Rerating catalysts could comein the form of stronger timberearnings in the coming quarters.

    Timber profits set to recoverFollowing six consecutive quarters ofweak earnings, it is time to relook atthe potential of Ta Ann's timberbusiness as rising log and plywood

    prices set the tone for a recovery in itstimber profits. Our channel checksreveal that Sarawak export log priceshave risen by 30-50% since Jan thisyear. This should benefit the group asit is one of the largest timberproducers in Sarawak. It accountedfor 6% of Sarawak's log exports in2012. Additionally, Ta Ann's hugeexposure to Japan (39% of its 2012revenue came from sales of timberproducts to Japan) makes it a goodproxy for the potential upturn in

    Japan's housing market, which couldboost plywood prices. We estimate TaAnn's timber earnings to recover froma pretax loss of RM18m in 2012 to a

    profit of RM21m this year. Includingthe one-off compensation from itsTasmania venture, we estimate thatthe timber PBT could rise to as muchas RM86m, highest since 2007.

    Solid palm oil output growthWe are also positive on Ta Anns oilpalm plantation which is projected tochurn out strong FFB output growthof 10-18% p.a. in FY13-14, driven bynew mature areas and improvingyields from its young estates. There isroom for expansion as 64% of its landbank is not planted. This could keep

    the group busy for at least the next 12years based on its current expansiontarget of 3k-5k ha annually.

    Attractive valuationTa Ann has underperformed themarket by 29% and its share price hasfallen by 19% in the past 12 monthsdue to weak timber and CPO pricesentiment. We see this as anopportune time to accumulate thestock as it is trading at a 18% discountto our SOP. We expect the company

    to report stronger timber earnings inits coming quarterly results in Aug,which could boost sentiment on thestock.

    Whats up, Malindo?Malindos fares on its trunk domestic routes to Kota Kinabalu andKuching from Kuala Lumpur have doubled since the routes werelaunched in March, closing substantially the gap with AirAsias fares.Meanwhile, Malindosfrequencies have also been erratic.

    Hence, Malindos impact on AirAsiawill be less than feared in 2013. Weremain Overweight on the Malaysianaviation sector, with our topOutperform being AirAsia on the backof the resilience of its business. Wealso like MAHB as we are confidentthat it can open KLIA2 on 2 May 2014as promised. The sector is expected torerate on the back of strong AirAsiaand MAHB earnings.

    Key developmentsOver the past four months since itsmaiden flight, Malindo appears tohave revised its plans for a 12-strongjet fleet by end-2013 to a 10-strong jetfleet. But the gap will be plugged byMalindos plans for a 4-strongturbo-prop fleet based out of Subang.Malindo also continues to make plansfor services to India from September,and then to Singapore and China.Disturbingly, several of Malindosmiddle managers have left thecompany to join AirAsia, suggesting

    internal discord.

    Limited impact so far

    We believe that Malindos impact onAirAsia will be limited this year as (1)Malindos frequencies have beenerratic, (2) its fares have doubledsince launch and the gap with AirAsiais now quite small, (3) Malindo maybe targeting too many routes with toofew frequencies to make an impact,and (4) AirAsia remains a veryefficient low-cost operator. We thinkthat MAS will feel more pressure as (1)it is an inefficient operator, (2)

    Malindos product resembles MASsproduct the most, and (3) Firefly isnow facing direct competition atSubang Airport.

    Will Malindo get to 100?Lion Airs plans to set up a new LCCin Thailand could result in Malindoslowing down the pace of its aircraftexpansion from a stated goal of 100planes in 10 years. Some of Lion Airsaircraft deliveries may be diverted toThailand, especially if Malindo findsthe competitive environment in

    Malaysia tougher than expected.Should this happen, AirAsia would bethe biggest beneficiary.

    Quality holdingThere were no major surprises in 1QFY14 as results were in line andmanagement continues to make headway on leasing at newinvestments and seeks growth through asset enhancements. AREITsasset leverage of 28.6% leaves room for growth via acquisitions anddevelopments.

    1QFY14s DPU met consensus and our

    expectations, forming 25% of ourfull-year estimates. We keep our FY14DPU estimates and DDM-basedtarget price (discount rate of 7.2%)unchanged. We maintain ourOutperform rating, with the catalystsof accretive AEI and assetdevelopments.

    No surprisesWe expect steady FY14 DPU growthfrom positive rental reversions andpast investments coming on stream.

    1QFY14 DPU was up 0.6% yoy.AREITs portfolio remained healthywith a weighted average rentalreversion of 9.6% in 1Q. This shouldcontinue with current market rents at15-41% higher than passing rents duefor renewal in FY13-14. Coupled withthe AEIs to upgrade older assets,AREIT is well positioned for rentalreversions. Occupancy was a healthy93.6% (vs. 4QFY13s 94.0%), whilemanagement continued to makeheadway on leasing, with the

    occupancy of investments completed

    which will leave room for growth.

    Maintain OutperformAREIT trades at 1.2x P/BV comparedto its historical average of 1.4x sincelisting. We see opportunities toaccumulate AREIT at this level as it isa quality holding, given its prudentmanagement and high quality assets.Its low asset leverage will leave roomfor acquisitions and developmentsupon a potential correction in pricingexpectations by prospective buyers.

    The downgrade was on the back offears of worsening NPL ratios andhigher credit costs as interest ratesrise. Domestically, we believebusiness loans are likely to show thefirst signs of struggle. But history hasshown that non-Singapore loansalways see trouble first and contributemost significantly to NPLs. Weremain Neutral on Singapore banks,with DBS as our top pick for itsmultiple non-interest income drivers.

    What HappenedMoodys downgraded its outlook forSingapore banks from stable toneutral yesterday on the belief thatthe increased likelihood of tighteningUS monetary policy is likely to triggera turning point in the credit cycle andlead to worsening NPL ratios andhigher credit costs. MAS respondedwith a statement that Singapore

    banks have undergone stress testsand have adequate buffers to copewith higher interest rates.

    What We ThinkWhile we agree with Moodysdowngrade on the basis of a weakercredit environment, we believe thatthe Singapore banking system isrelatively resilient and we should notbe overly concerned. During twomajor recessions in the past 16 years,Singapores domestic NPLs did not

    really inflate. We believe that thesame will happen this time round.Domestic mortgages have notcontributed significantly to NPLs inthe last two decades and we believethat it will not be a big contributorthis time either.

    What You Should DoWe remain Neutral on Singaporebanks. Our top pick is DBS for itstrade finance success and earningsdelivery from multiple fee incomestreams.

Maintain Neutralon the Singapore market with anintact end-CY13 FSSTI target of 3,400,bottom-up. Top picks are DBS, UOL,THBEV, AREIT, BIG, CAPL, EZI,GLP, SATS, KEP and TAT.What HappenedWe narrated our more-positivecountry view since end-Jun, when weupgraded Singapore to Neutral (fromUnderweight). Investors agreed thatSingapore is not expensive, but doesnot have earnings catalysts. Bears feltASEAN markets were not the placesto be in, as any further slowdown inChina is likely to make itself felt soonin the region. Bulls appreciatedSingapore's more defensivecharacteristics.

    What We ThinkWe believe Banks will fare better thanREITs as higher long-end interestrates are unlikely to boost customerloan yields immediately while 18% of

    REITs debt is sensitive to rising ratesimmediately. We prefer yieldexposure through operatingcompanies with net cash. Investorsquestioned if Telcos high gearingrenders them suitable as hidingplaces when rates rise. We still likeCapital Goods as we attribute theheightened Chinese competition inthe sector to aggressive financing.Short term, investors agreed with usbut longer term, they queried ifSingapore would lose its competitive

    edge. As for consumer picks, mostasked about Thai Bev and Courts.Investors were jittery over Tat Hong'sshare-price weakness.

Vard hasbeen dropped after our downgrade.REITs are swimming against risingrates and we prefer yield stocks withnet cash and some EPS growth.

    Growth outside ChinaGiordanos operating performance should have been resilient in 2Q13despite Chinasoverall market weakness due to bad weather, the avianflu and a sluggish economy. We look beyond China to 2014, when itsrestructuring should be completed.

    Thanks to contributions from itsnewly-acquired Middle-East market,

    we expect core net profit to grow 15%yoy to HK$354m in 1H13 on 7%topline growth. Maintain Outperformand target price, based on 15x CY14P/E, its 10-year average. Catalysts areexpected from improving Chinaoperations and sustainable marginexpansion.

    What HappenedSuffering from unusually cool and wetweather and the avian flu in EasternChina in 2Q13, the groups SSSG had

    contracted by a high single digit inApr (-7% in 1Q) in China. However,sales gradually recovered in May andJun with mom improvements, thanksto the closure of non-performingstores in the past 15 months (>160stores) and effective localisedmarketing campaigns. Taiwansrecovery was on track with SSSGturning positive in 2Q (-14% in 1Q) onthe back of successful promotionswhile Hong Kong kept its

    low-single-digit SSSG (+3% in 1Q).Singapore is sure to be poor given

    Junsair pollution, which kept peopleindoors.

    What We ThinkWe believe 2Qs overall performancewas stable, compensated by Indonesiaand Thailand (>20% SSSG in 1Q) aswell as the recovery in Taiwan. Weexpect Chinas profitability toimprove from: 1) healthy inventories;2) fewer discounts offered by its rivals;and 3) gross-margin preservation.Store expansion will focus on Taiwan

    and South-East Asia while stores inChina will stay around 1,200.

    What You Should DoWe like Giordanos prudentexpansion with diversification inGreater China, South-East Asia andthe Middle East (new contributor) tobalance its business risks and growth.Stay invested for its 5.7% dividendyields and strong balance sheet withHK$1.3bn of net cash on hand.

    Gold price remains the keyDespite the stronger-than-expected 1QFY14 operational performanceand possible upside to consensus earnings, we believe that gold priceuncertainty will remain a key overhang onLuk Fooksvaluation in thenear term. We prefer Chow Tai Fook for its more resilient margins.

    We raise our FY14-16 EPS forecastsby 9-10% to factor in the strong 1Q

    operational performance, which wasled by robust physical demand due toa drop in gold prices in Apr. We liftour target price to HK$21.9, stillbased on 8x CY14 P/E, 2 s.d. belowthe sectors mid-cycle valuations. Wethink sales and margin trends willstart to normalise in 2Q and maintainour Neutral rating.

    What HappenedLuk Fooks 1QFY14 operationalupdate revealed 1) HK SSSG of 83%

    (29% in 4QFY13), 2) China SSSG of117% (14% in 4QFY13), 3) SSSG of130% for gold products and 21% forgem-sets, 4) low-single-digit yoy dropin overall retail gross margins, and 5)net addition of 20 POS (fiveself-operated stores and 35 licensedstores).

    What We ThinkThe 1QFY14 performance wasstronger than expected and above

    rival Chow Tai Fooks (CTF) SSSGrates (HK 68% and China 32%). The

    low-single-digit drop in retail grossmargin was largely due to the shift insales mix towards gold products andis comparable to the 3% pt drop ingross margin reported by CTF for thesame period.

    What You Should DoLuk Fooks share price has risen 13%(vs. 17% for CTF) over the last fivetrading days in anticipation offavourable numbers after CTFs 1Qresults. While we see potential upside

    to consensus forecast, we maintainour Neutral rating as we believe thatthe uncertainties in gold prices willcontinue to weigh on Luk Fooksvaluation in the near term. In thewatch & jewellery sector, we preferCTF for its more resilient margins(higher hedging ratios) and Stelux forits earnings recovery led bycost-cutting initiatives.

    SECTOR FLASH NOTE

    Capacity growth: where are therisks?While a concentrated launch of new capacity in 2H13 may create risksfor cement prices in regions with slow demand growth, prices inregions with stronger demand growth and limited new capacity couldbe supported by an improving market balance, in our view.

    Improving Worsening

    * assume same demand growth as in 5M13 SOURCES: CHINA CEMENT ASSOCIATION, CIMB

    Shanxi appears to have the biggestrisks given the slowest incrementalchanges in its market balanceexpected in 2H13. At the same time, amore positive outlook for the centraland southern regions backed bystrong demand growth is likely tosupport prices better. We remain

    Overweight on the sector withcatalysts expected from a pricerecovery in 4Q13. Shanshui Cementand Anhui Conch are our top picks.

    What HappenedChina Cement Association reported39m tpa of new clinker capacitylaunched in 1H13, 58% in westernChina. Another 83m tpa of newclinker capacity could be launched in2H13, with more new lines comingout in the central-northern region.

    What We ThinkNew capacity growth in 2013 couldthus be about 7% of end-2012scapacity, which is mostly in line with

    our expectations. However, theconcentrated launch of new capacityin 2H13 (potentially delayed from1H13 by tight liquidity) could createpricing pressure if demand growth isslow to catch up with capacity growth.We are more positive on regions withstrong demand growth and limited

    capacity additions, including Jiangxi,Hunan, Guangdong and Guangxi, asan improving market balance couldpotentially jack up prices.

    What You Should DoIn spite of earnings risks and thepotential for a moderate yoy declinein 1H13 earnings, Shanshui remainsour top pick in the sector as we thinkits low valuations against its historical3-year average has more thanreflected the negatives. We also likeAnhui Conch for its attractive

    valuations and market leadership. Itsstrong earnings-growth potential in2H13 could be a strong catalyst forthe stock, we believe.

    Highlighted Companies

    Anhui ConchConch is likely to emerge a winner in the upcomingconsolidation given its strong financials. If thecompany increases its capex by raising net gearingto 120%, FY13 earnings could be lifted by 44%.

    CNBMCNBM has been trading at a discount to its peersbecause of its high gearing. Apart from potential

    margin expansion from cooperation, we expect i tsproposed H-share placement to reduce gearing andcatalyse its share price in the long term.

    Shanshui CementThe company is expected to regain its pricing powerin local markets, thanks to improving cement pricesin Shanshuis surrounding provinces as competitionfrom imports recedes. Its potential cooperation withCNBM will increase its ASPs.

    IMPORTANT DISCLOSURES, INCLUDING ANY REQUIRED RESEARCH CERTIFICATIONS, ARE PROVIDED AT THE END OF THIS REPORT.CIMB Securities Limited has had an investment banking relationship with Geely Automobile Holdings within the preceding 12 months. Designed by Eight, Powered by EFA

    Biting the bulletIts auto businesses face intense pressure from the competition while thelong-term outlook for LCGC turned out to be less rosy. As its ROE is ona downward trajectory, Astra is heading for a de-rating.

    We cut our FY13-15 forecasts by 2-4%,mainly on lower low-cost green car(LCGC) volume and auto margins.

    Given all the negatives, we see thatthe stock is heading for a de-rating.Hence, we cut our price target toRp6,600, now based on 2.8x FY14P/BV or the historical valuation if thecost of equity were to increase to15.6% vs. our previous valuation basisof 15x CY14 P/E. We downgrade Astrato Underperform from Outperform.

    Competition gets tougher...Margins at the auto dealer level mayremain depressed in the foreseeable

    future, as competition intensifies anddealers resort to their aggressivediscounting strategies used 2-3months ago. Given Astras perceivedstrategy of prioritising market shareover margins, the discounting couldpersist for a while, no thanks to itsrecent market share decline in Jun.Thus, our auto margin assumptionsare lowered by 30bp to a moresustainable level of 3.3% in FY13-14, alevel seen back in FY09-10.

    ... and LCGC is not helpingThe regulatory delays have pushedToyota and Daihatsus LCGC

    launches closer to the expected LCGClaunch dates of Astra's competitors.As a result, such launches now may

    not alleviate the stress on Astrasmarket share and dealer discounting.Moreover, the proposed regulationsto impose ceiling prices could putdealers at a disadvantage in the longterm, given the more volatile margins.We now expect LCGC sales for Astrato amount to only 30,000 units thisyear, from 70,000 units previously.

    De-rating expectedDriven by pressures on the auto andcommodities fronts, Astra's ROE is

    poised to decline to 23-25% inFY13-15 from the 5-year average of30%. There could be upside potentialto our ROE forecasts if Astra 1)leverages up, or 2) pays moredividend, though such moves willcontradict its current strategy. Thus,we expect the stock to de-rate to 2.8xFY14 P/BV, which is the historicalvaluation if the cost of equity were toincrease to 15.6% (prev. 13.7%). Webelieve that Astra's current shareprice already reflects the higher cost

    of equity. The limited upside potentialunderpins our Underperform call.

Our indextarget is still 1,810 (14.2x CY14 P/E, a3% premium to regional peers).Maintain Positive view with marketcatalysts expected from a passage of

    the infrastructure bill and decent2Q13 earnings.

    Foreign selling to cool offForeign investors have been netsellers of THB76bn to date, a reversalfrom the inflows last year. Cumulativeforeign inflows since 2009 when QE1started had peaked at aboutTHB155bn in Jan 13 and are nowdown to only THB62bn after recentheavy sell-offs. We believe thatforeign sell-offs should be less

    pronounced in the near term, as thepolitical situation is stable andcorporate earnings remain robust.

    Short term, our regional strategistsbelieve that capital outflows couldpersist, pressurising asset returns.

    LEI and BSI stay strongThe Leading Economic Index,Business Sentiment Index and BOIapplications received remain strong.Demand for property-developmentloans and mortgage loans remainsstrong and we believe that 2H13

    presales will stay strong on the backof more project launches. Meanwhile,we estimate that a 1% drop in ChineseGDP will shave only 9bp off ThaisGDP.

    Infrastructure billunconstitutional?Contractors seem to believe that if theinfrastructure bill is ruledunconstitutional, any delays will onlybe for a few months. They are not tooworried as they already have huge

    backlog orders, which could keepthem busy for the next few years.

    Weak 1Q; Near-term headwindscreate entry opportunityOberois 1Q PAT rose only 1% yoy (-30% qoq) on account of lowerproperty sales, other income and higher taxes. Property sales declinedover 60% on both square feet and unit basis due to the absence of newlaunches (lack of approvals) and high-priced inventory.

    1QFY14 earnings were slightly belowexpectations, at 17% of our full-yearestimate. We expect near-term painfrom weak demand, lack ofapprovals/launches and theoverhang of dilution. We cut ourFY14-16 EPS estimates by 5-6% andSOP-based target by 5% to Rs 285.The stock remains an Outperform,with key catalysts likely from projectlaunches & potential land purchases.

    Weak 1Q on lower sales1QFY14 revenues rose 9% yoy (-28%qoq) to Rs2.2bn (Rs1.4bn fromprojects and Rs630m from rentals),but were below our expectations dueto lower property sales.

These, coupled with ahigher tax rate of 31% (vs. 26% inFY13 as there was no contributionfrom the tax-exempt Splendourproject), led to only a 1% yoy rise

    (-30% qoq) in net profit to Rs1bn.Property sales declined by 60% yoyand qoq to 49,000 sq. ft. comingfrom 23 units (-63% yoy and -68%qoq, vs. quarterly avg. of 70 units)due to lack of new launches andslower demand for the existinginventory at high prices. Thisresulted in lower sales bookings ofRs925m (-55% yoy, -58% qoq). Ithad a negative operating cashflow ofRs1.2bn due to lower collection fromEsquire (on approval issues) and thecapex on non-cash generatingprojects (Worli & Commerz - 2).

    Maintain OutperformWhile we expect near-term pain tocontinue for the next 3-6 months, weexpect Oberoi to launch new projects(Mulund, Worli, Goregaon phase -3,etc.) from 2HFY14 onwards. Thus,we believe the stock correction of16% in the last three months hascreated an entry opportunity.

    INDIA BANKS SHORT TERM(3 MTH) LONG TERM

    SECTOR FLASH NOTE

    Panic on the streetToday, post the RBI measures to curb exchange rate volatility, shortterm borrowing costs went up by 150bp-200bp and benchmarkgovernment bond yields rose by c.50bp. In the near term, outlook forwholesale funded banks and non-banks remains challenging.

    Figure 1: Key forecasts

    SOURCES: CIMB, COMPANY REPORTS

    If the short term borrowing rates andgovernment bond yields continue toremain at elevated levels, it wouldhave its bearing on performance of

    banks and non-banks we cover.Further, the rise in government bondyields should adversely affect thetreasury portfolio of most banks,especially public sector banks. Weremain Neutral on the banking sector.Our top PSB picks are Canara Bankand Bank of Baroda (BOB), while welike ICICI Bank among private banks.We recently downgraded IndusindBank to an Underperform.

    What HappenedIn order to curb the excess rupee

    liquidity and to address the exchangerate volatility, the RBI announced afew measures yesterday (Please referto page 2 for details).

    What We ThinkThe increase in short-term wholesaleborrowing costs will have an adverseimpact on banks with a higherproportion of interest-bearingliabilities (IBL, domestic) due tomature in less than one year (Figure6). Among private sector banks, YesBank, ING Vysya Bank and Indusind

    Bank have higher proportions of IBLwith maturity of less than one year(Figures 2 and 3). Among publicsector banks (PSB), Corporation Bank,Oriental Bank and Canara Bank have

    higher proportions of IBL withmaturity of less than one year(Figures 2 and 3). Among non-banks,those with high-yield loans like auto

    finance companies (MMFS and SHTF)are likely to be less affected thanthose with finely-priced loans likehome and infrastructure companies(HDFC and IDFC). The benchmark10-year government bond yield isback at the end-March 2013 level ofaround 8% (Figure 7). Thus, all theunrealised gains on the bonds wouldtechnically have vanished today, on amark-to-market basis for theavailable-for-sale (AFS) category.

    What You Should Do

    We remain Neutral on the bankingsector. PSB valuations appearundemanding but we are concernedabout their declining low-cost depositratios, retirement benefit costs, assetquality and capital dilution underBasel III. Our top PSB picks areCanara Bank and BOB. We think thatvaluations are fair for most privatesector banks, given their higher ROAs.Our key concern about private sectorbanks in the near term is loan growthdue to the slowdown in the

    investment cycle and the broadereconomy. Our top private bank pick isICICI Bank.
