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.

• 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.

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.
