Market update & observation

What should we observe???
·         Investors are taking profits after DJIA increase for the 7th consecutive days. Yesterday DJIA closed on green as Bank of America shares helped to squeeze out the gains in the 8th straight days. From 28 Jan to 9 Feb, the Dow increased from 11,823.7 to 12,239.9 within 8 consecutive trading days.
·         Investors are anxious about inflation everywhere. China increased interest rate for the second time 2 days ago and may increase for the 3rd time in four months. Instead of increasing interest rate, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke lowered bond yield to curb inflation.  
·         China will announce its inflation data tomorrow.
·         Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke said the world’s largest economy, US remains weak despite a drop in unemployment rate earlier.  Investors may have doubt on the stability of US economy after the comments.
Let’s work out something on Malaysia market….

 
Are we on the 5th wave? Or we are still in the pullback of the 4th wave? It could be neither of them.
As there are many uncertainties blowing in the market, many confirmations have to be made technically before we conclude it. Anyhow, the first critical point to observe is the 1,500 psychological level. As of 4:47pm FBM KLCI was 1,509.50, which dropped 26.57 points or 1.73%. FBM KLCI February future was bearish as well, dropping 23 points from 1,525 from Wednesday close to 1,502.
If it happens, I'm eyeing on the 1,480 and 1,430 support lines. Otherwise, 5th wave will continue. Resistance is lying in between 1,545 and 1,560.

·         The most interesting point is the company currently has about 307m of retained earnings (RE) where its capital share only amounts to about 200m. There is potential that the company will distribute to shareholders. Last year, the company announced bonus issue of 2 bonus shares for existing 5 shares held on 13 January and subsequently its result released on 9 February with RE of about 315m and share capital of 141.
·         EPF acquired about 19.84 million of Dialog’s shares in January, increasing its stake to 13.83%. On the other hand, EPF disposed 5.44 million shares of its peer Kencana in January, decreasing its holdings to 6.24.
·         Dialog’s earning result will be out soon. Last year, its 2Q result released on 9th February on Bursa Malaysia.

ASEAN Indices

Jakarta Composite Index (JCI)
JCI broke below 3,400-level support yesterday and fell lower to 3,346 this morning. When looking for a pattern, it has formed a triple top, followed by a breakdown below support. Despite the breakdown, JCI is reaching the projected decline soon around 3,300-level while its RSI looks set for a soft-landing around 25 level-point.


Stock Exchange of Thai Index (SET)
The outlook for SET is quite worrying as it has dropped by more than 4% today, the worst among the ASEAN countries. Obviously, the index is near to the next support at 950-level, once broken next will be 900. Yet, when I was writing this, SET has returned to green zone at 969.7 compared with open at 968.15.
Philippine Stock Exchange (PSEi)
Apparently, PSEi has rebounded before everyone did.
Overall, the selling pressure by foreign funds may come to an end. Yet, investors should be alert and be aware of the Chinese New Year effect as many people may exit for New Year “Ang Pow”. Technically, FBM KLCI is reaching an upward sloping support around 1,533-level while RSI has flatten at 50-point-level. If index successfully rebounds on 1,533, next resistance is at 1,575.

Today’s Juices

• MRCB@RM2.18
Catalyst: New contract, Acquisition of land, 10MP, ETP, 4th quarter result is coming up. It should be around February 2011.
Technical: Bounded between RM2.00 and RM2.17 and just broke above the resistance today. Next resistance at RM2.25
Average Consensus Target Price: RM2.25, representing only 2.7% upside.

• Steelmakers in Asia may be forced to pay as much as 33% more for hard coking coal after the worst floods in 50 years in Australia's Queensland state. Prices may increase to $270 a metric ton for 3-m contracts starting April 1. (Source: Bloomberg)
The only listed company on Bursa that has principal activities of production and sale of metallurgical coke is HUAAN. Its business operation is located at Linyi City, Shandong Province, China. It may be benefited from the rising coking coal price.
But Too bad! Average consensus Target price, RM0.36 is below the current share price at RM0.385. Please also note that steel industry is not one of the top gems at this timing.

• Catalyst: Building the second Penang bridge, which connect Batu Maung and Batu Kawan, is regarded a catalyst to add value to the company since its products are near to the bridge.

• Net Cash: Cash & cash equivalents – Short & long term debt = 26.947 (pre IPO), 46.747 (post IPO), where most developers in Penang island have higher gearing ratios.

• Assuming products’ location, value, quality among these companies remains constant, what would you think about these 4 companies purely based on the figures above.
• First, for safety purposes, I’d look at debt. Somehow, Ivory, Hunzpty and E&O have higher gross gearing compared with Tambun Indah. In such circumstances, the concern of the Company using its IPO proceeds to repay borrowing will no longer an issue. With Net cash on hand, Tambun Indah is considered as healthy and has lower loan default risk.
• Since Tambun Indah has the highest price to NTA among the peers, the important question is whether the premium is worthy or not? Under the circumstance where in that fact that Penang Island is short of affordable properties to new generation, second thing comes to my mind is whether people will compensate them with cheaper property and bigger space if the only condition is that they have to live far away from the heart of the city – You will never know – it depends. However, there is a risk there. Hopefully, someone can answer. I’m not sure whether the second link bridge has been officially approved. If not, the properties may have a hard time to turn hands. If yes, everything will be in place.
Results:

• I wouldn’t spend time on result since the figure below tells it all.



Income Statement Ratios 2007 2008 2009 2010
Gross Profit Margin (%) 27.50% 29.99% 31.99% 35.24%

Effective tax rate (%) 27.56% 31.88% 20.83% 24.84%

Comments:
Fundamentally sounds, catalyst remains uncertain. Listing date is on 18 Jan 2011. I believe retailers will think “as long as not China stocks, not making shoes, everything will go during IPO.” No support for this statement, but it’s just purely a sentence that I regularly heard from others. Well, 18 Jan is about 2 weeks before the CNY and subscription for the IPO is closing today. For those who have sent in their subscription form, Good Luck! For those who didn’t send, we can only sit and wait for the performance of the stock.
