Jaya Tiasa Holdings - Let down by plantations

Jaya Tiasa's 9MFY14 core net profit was below expectations as it comprised only 48% of our FY14 forecast and 43% of consensus. The underperformance was due to the weaker-than-expected FFB output and OER rate achieved at its mills. We cut our FY14-16 EPS forecasts by 4-11% after factoring in lower oil yield estimates. This lowers our SOP-based target price to RM2.40. We downgrade our rating from Hold to Reduce in reflection of the continued poor achievements by its estates. The poor 3Q results and future earnings disappointments are possible de-rating catalysts.

JT International - A greater kick with new offer

JTI's 60.4% shareholder has made a higher bid of RM8.20/share (vs. the previous offer of RM7.80/share) to take over the Malaysian tobacco producer. We find the offer to be highly attractive, especially after taking into the account the weak prospects for the Malaysian tobacco industry. We maintain our Hold call and increase our target price to the new offer price. We continue to advise shareholders to accept the offer. Switch to Gudang Garam.

Kuala Lumpur Kepong - Strong oleo earnings in 2QFY14

KL Kepong's 1HFY9/14 core net profit is broadly in line, at 54% of our full-year forecast and 49% of consensus numbers. The manufacturing division delivered better-than-expected results but this was offset by weaker yields from KLK’s estates. As expected, the group announced a 15 sen interim dividend. We nudge up our FY14 EPS by 1% but keep our SOP-based target price and Reduce call. We believe that the market has priced in KLK’s favourable long-term prospects as the stock is trading above its historical five-year average P/E of 20x.

Global Economic News…

US Federal Reserve policy makers, weighing options for an eventual exit from extraordinary easing, said continued stimulus to push unemployment lower doesn’t risk sparking an undesirable jump in the inflation rate, according to minutes of its 29-30 Apr meeting.

No final decisions were taken, with the Fed merely engaged in "prudent planning" and not signaling it was ready to "normalize" monetary policy or raise interest rates any time soon.

The minutes also stated “a number of participants pointed to possible sources of downside risk to growth, including a persistent slowdown in the housing sector,” and cited risks from China’s slowing economic growth and tension between Russia and Ukraine. (Bloomberg, Reuters)

Millions of US teaching, construction and other middle-skill jobs lost in the last recession have not returned, exacerbating the already high unemployment that has been a drag on the US recovery, New York Federal Reserve President William Dudley said. (Reuters)

The rate at which the US Federal Reserve would raise interest rates in the years ahead would be "even slower" than usual if the central bank were to adopt a strategy of price-level targeting, Minneapolis Fed President Narayana Kocherlakota said.

Inflation may not climb back to 2% until 2018, so the Fed should consider overshooting that target for a few years afterward to make up for the current period of low prices, he added. (Reuters)

The US Federal Reserve should defer any decision to allow its balance sheet to shrink until after it has begun raising interest rates from their current near-zero level, San Francisco Fed President John Williams said. (Reuters)

The euro zone’s current-account balance decreased in adjusted terms to a surplus of €18.8bn (US$25.8bn) in Mar (€21.8bn surplus in Feb). For the 12-month period that ended in Mar 2014, the cumulated surplus equaled 2.5% of the euro zone's GDP (1.8% GDP in the 12 months ended Mar 2013). (WSJ)

Euro zone consumer confidence jumped to -7.1 points in May (-8.6 in Apr), the best reading since Oct 2007 when it stood at -6.2. (Reuters)

Japan’s imports rose 3.4% yoy in Apr (+18.1% yoy in Mar) while exports increased 5.1% yoy (+1.8% yoy in Mar), leaving a trade deficit of ¥808.9bn (US$8bn) (-¥1446.0bn in Mar). (Bloomberg)

The Bank of Japan (BOJ) kept its policy to expand the monetary base at a pace of ¥60tr to ¥70tr (US$691bn) per year steady and painted a slightly more optimistic view of the economy, dropping a reference to the country being in deflation and further dashing expectations it will offer more stimulus any time soon. (Reuters)

China's employment outlook is holding steady, with 4.73m new jobs created in cities in the first four months of the year, aided by a growing services sector. (WSJ)

The Bank of Korea governor expressed his concerns over signs of waning domestic demand over the past month in the wake of the ferry accident on 16 Apr.

“The (Sewol) ferry disaster is taking a toll on the service sector and self-employed and small-business owners in particular, along with the recent appreciation of the Korean won,” he said.

The government is now looking to spend an additional KRW7.8tr (US$7.7bn) during the first half the year as part of efforts to prop up domestic demand. (Korean Herald)

Any adjustment related to the overnight policy rate (OPR) will probably be announced after the monetary policy committee meeting in Jul, Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) Governor Tan Sri Dr Zeti Akhtar Aziz said.

"We will make all the assessment at that point in time on the future trend of the variables that we take into account," she said. "Any adjustment on the OPR will be based on the outlook for inflation, outlook for growth and risk to growth and any other risks arising from financial imbalances that may be destabilising," she added.

The monetary policy would remain accommodative, she said, adding it would not be a policy of monetary tightening. (Bernama)

Reuters news agency, quoting unnamed sources, reported yesterday that 1MDB had to seek an extension to pay the bridging loan provided by Maybank Investment Bhd because of a delay in its plan to list its power assets which was supposed to raise US$2bn. Reuters reported that the IPO, which aims to raise as much as US$2bn and is seen as critical to reducing the fund's debt load, is now expected in 2H14. "Bankers had initially said the IPO could come by mid-year, but it has been pushed back due to delays related to a tender to build a coal-fired power plant that it ultimately won, as well as delays in publishing its accounts after a change in auditors," the Reuters report said. The Edge understands that another reason for the delay in the IPO is that 1MDB may not be able to get the valuation it wants for the power plants it bought last year. (Financial Daily)
